To ensure an efficient and reliable data transmission over the error-prone downlink long term evolution (LTE) system, packet scheduling is tightly-coupled with adaptive modulation and coding (AMC)scheme and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)process. Most of the packet scheduling algorithms proposed in the literature either fail to incorporate H

This study seeks to investigate the teachability of oral communication strategy training (OCST) on ESL learners at pre-university level. The issue of teaching communication strategies in the ESL classroom has been controversial over the past few decades. To address this issue, an experiment had been done on the students to investigate if the teachi

Keujudan motif pakis di dalam tekatan dan anyaman kaum Astronesians di kepulauan Polynesia, membuktikan terdapat ikatan yang kukuh suatu waktu dahulu, yang kini hampir lenyap di telan kemodenan. Kajian ini akan cuba menghuraikan misteri disebalik persamaan ini dan apakah iktibar yang boleh diambil sebagai pengajaran darinya. (Study on ferns as carv

Long Term Evolution (LTE). which is now referred to as 3.9G, is the latest commercially available Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. It was designed to meet users' demand for high speed multimedia communication. It uses 011hogonal Frequency Division multiple Access (OFDMA) for downlink transmission. OFDMA is a multi-carrier a

Property crimes in residential areas has become a concerning issue in Malaysia. Environmental design based crime prevention theories such as Defensible Space, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and 2nd generation CPTED recommend to construct gates and fences as target hardening measures in the residential areas to prevent crimes.

This paper proposes a novel packet scheduling algorithm that extends Opportunistic and Delay Sensitive (ODS) algorithm to simultaneously support Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) and Non-GBR (NGBR) services over downlink Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The proposed algorithm utilises Channel Quality Information (CQI), average throughput, type of services

Healthcare spaces is one of the earliest spaces where barrier free concept of space design is being accepted and regularised as part of the essential building requirement. Spaces in healthcare buildings support activities that support the function of making ease in the delivery of care to sustain live and care for the decease. The paper introduces

Phytate is largely unavailable to monogastric animal such as swine, poultry and fish, as they lack of sufficient endogenous enzymatic activity to hydrolyze phytate. The result is the elimination of precious nutrients that would be beneficial to their growth; furthermore, they will excrete most of the indigestive phytate which can contribute to phos

This study focuses on the preparation and characterisation of sodium ion conducting polymer electrolytes. Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) has been used as the host matrix and hydrated sodium sulphide (Na2S.9H2O) salt as the source of charge carriers in the polymer electrolyte system. To the highest conducting polymer–salt electrol
