The significance of Non-negative Matrix Factorization ((NMF) in the field of automatic text summarization is rapidly increasing due to its interpretation and storage capabilities. Interpretation defines the ease at which the structure of high dimensional data can be understood. While, storage capability relates to the extent of data reduction proce

Preservation of manuscript, especially using insecticide as insect repellent, is a serious issue for archivists, conservators and private collectors. Althoug is rampant nowadays, traditional methods are still very much in practice. This study will explain the practical application of traditional natural source; pepper, Piper Nigrum L. as insect rep

Boiler tube failures usually result in frequent forced outages, and ultimately in costly extended outages for major tubing replacement in a plant. There are several failure modes that may occur in a boiler tube, i.e. stress-corrosion cracking, pitting, water-side corrosion, fire-side corrosion, fatigue failure, overheating, dissimilar metal weld fa

This is a conference paper presented in Singapore. The paper talked about the importance of students and lecturers having knowledge about green computing, which refers to energy-efficient and responsible use of computers and their associated subsystems. 180 students and 60 lecturers were surveyed. The results show limited and no knowledge of green

Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes derived from the stems and juice of pineapples. It has been extensively used in food industry; for meat tenderization, baking processes, and in prevention of browning of apple juice. Stem bromelain is a highly accepted phytotherapeutic agent. It has anti-tumor and antiinflammatory effects, use in wound

In this paper, we present three continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols (named two-, four-, and eightstate protocols) based on the discrete modulation of phase coherent states. We investigate the security of these protocols against the collective eavesdropping attacks and show their performance in a realistic setup by taking into con

Based on past and current studies on BQ, there are concerns on issues relating to the sufficiency and adequacy of the BQ in the current construction environment. Following the preliminary review, detail study has been conducted with an aim to explore the issues further with an attempt to identify and propose relevant research focus in the area. Acc

In order to compute the scattering properties of individual sand/dust particles dispersed in air, as in a true sand/dust storm, we need to derive a permittivity value which is representative of sand/dust particle with its layer of water. As a first step in this, we applied Looyenga’s formula to extract the permittivity of the dry sand/dust compon

High number of Access Points (APs) in large-scale networks have introduced several overheads such as control,management and monitoring. Distributing and maintaining a consistent configuration while considering security issues presentseven more challenges in large deployments and new architectures. These issues forced many network vendors such as Ar
