This paper considers the application of the proposed asymmetric turbo code system in MIMO High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) service of WCDMA. In typical turbo code system, an encoder with code rate 1/3 is used together with bit repetition to achieve the code rate 1/4. However, this approach suffers from weak Bit Error Rate (BER) performance

A statistical optimization was studied to design a media composition to produce optimum cellulolytic enzyme where palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a basal medium and filamentous fungus, Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 were used in the liquid state bioconversion(LSB). 2% (w/v) total suspended solid, TSS, of the POME supplemented with 1% (w/v) cellulose,

The conventional contact type brake system which uses a hydraulic system has many problems such as time delay response due to pressure build-up, brake pad wear due to contact movement, bulky size, and low braking performance in a high speed region. As vehicle speed increases, a more powerful brake system is required to ensure vehicle safety and its

Introduction: Tracheal agenesis is a very rare congenital airway anomaly. It may pose a great challenge to the first attending physician both in diagnosis and in establishing the airway during the first day of life. Case presentation: We report a newborn Malay baby boy with trachea agenesis (type III by Floyd's classification) who presented wit

Blunt external laryngotracheal trauma is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Most of the time, the first attending doctor overlooks this injury. Surgical management for this trauma is complicated, since there is no common management approach for this potentially life-threatening injury. It is important that this injury to be identified early a

Telecommuting acts as one of the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures that aimed to reduce peak hour traffic congestion by allowing commuters to work from home or a nearby telecommuting centre on certain days of the week. The increasing private vehicle usage by IIUM community (staffs and students) is posing a strain on the ability of the

This study generally applies the selective exposure theory (Klapper, 1960) and third-person effect theory (Davison, 1983) to test the extent of TV viewing habits and TV influence on the Malay community with special emphasis on reality TV show. The objectives of the study are to identify Malay community exposure and preference of TV programmes, to g

Telecommuting is increasingly being perceived as a viable travel demand management strategy that aims to reduce peak hour traffic congestion by allowing commuters to work from home or a nearby telecommuting centre on certain days of the week. The increasing private vehicle usage by International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) community is posin

This paper describes the process of assessing the unidimensionality and validity of the Perceived Ability in Statistical Concepts Questionnaire (PASQ) based on the Rasch Measurement Model. Students’ perceived ability was measured by a self-developed 30 PASQ items of Likert-scale format comprises of concepts on types of data (6 items), graphical r
