Objective Low dose stimulation (LS) is emerging as an alternative regime in assisted reproductive technology (ART). This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of LS to the high dose GnRH antagonist (Atg) regime. Methods An observational prospective study conducted at an academic infertility unit from January to June 2007. Outcome measures i

Heterogeneous computing environment such as grid computing allows sharing and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources (such as supercomputers, clusters, data sources, people and storage systems) and present them as a single, unified resource for solving large-scale and data-intensive computing application

Purpose- The aim is to study the tribological behavior of dual particle size (DPS)and triple particle size (TPS) SiC reinforced aluminium allloy based metal matrix composites - MMCs (Al/SiCp MMC)SiCp/Al-MMC). Design /methodology /approach- Al-MMCs were prepared using 20 vol% SiC reinforcement into aluminum metal matrix and developed using a stir ca

In engineering practice, moisture absorption test is generally used for quality control purposes and to measure the degradation of the quality for the composite materials. The objectives of this study are to investigate the value of Fickian difusivity constant, moisture equilibrium content and the correction factor the natural fiber composites.Shor

Renal stone disease has been regarded as an uncommon problem in children as compared to adult population. The incidence varies in different parts of continent. Posterior urethral valve is also regarded as uncommon urological problem in pediatric population. The incidence is about 1 per 8,000 to 25,000 life births. A combination of renal calculi, po

Al-Quran selalu menegaskan kepada pembacanya agar ianya difahami dengan penuh teliti seterusnya mengambil iktibar setiap paparan yang terkandung di dalamnya. Al-Quran sebenarnya telah menggunakan pelbagai pendekatan atau kaedah dalam pembangunan modal insan. Kepelbagaian pendekatan tersebut telah terbukti berjaya membentuk masyarakat manusai di zam

Algal spores respond to many environmental variables, especially, to chemical “cues”. This chemotactic response can be utilized to attract spores, thereby colonization of a new substrata is possible to be influenced. In this attempt, four chemoattractant candidates were screened against spores of Ulva pertusa to reveal their efficiencies. Attac

This paper seeks to use the flexible-price monetary model in the cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) contexts to determine whether there was misalignment in the Malaysian ringgit - U.S. dollar before the 1997 currency crisis. Unit roots, cointegration and weak exogeneity are tested to validate the monetary exchange rate model. Ge

Fiber glass has been used widely in manufacturing industries, especially marine industries, because of low cost and high strength. However, glass fiber can cause acute irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract. This study looked at the possibility of substituting glass fiber with natural fiber in composite materials. The surface pro

Cognition or thinking involves mental activities or thought process. The complexness of thought process is represented by the complexness of textual information that consists of more distinct pieces of information. Textual information which is in the form of language and symbol are means in representing and communicating information, experiences an
