In this global era, IT investment is rapidly increasing. IT governance practices must be emphasized in order to retrieve competitive advantage from IT investment. The aim of this research is to develop IT governance practices model for Malaysian public sector. Interview sessions with IT personnel at management level at Putrajaya were conducted. Bas

The selection of the correct materials for a design is a key step in the process because it is the crucial decision that links computer calculations and lines on an engineering drawing with a working design. Materials, and manufacturing processes which convert the material into a useful part, underpin all of engineering design. In the relation of d

The scalable video coding H.264/SVC is the video coding standard which is an extension of H.264/AVC. Because of its scalability, H.264/SVC has gained a great interest in video transmission. Partial bit stream can be transmitted and decoded by the H.264/SVC in order to provide quality in lower temporal or spatial resolutions or reduced fidelity whil

Frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lowered risk of cancer, heart disease, hypertension and stroke. This has been attributed to the presence of various forms of phytochemical and antioxidants in the foods. Pisang Nipah (Musa x paradisiaca) was analysed in this study for its tannin, flavanoid, alkaloid, total phenolic

In this study, the researcher tries to give the historical background about the entry of Islam as well as past and present political situations in the region of Patani. At the same time, he also points out the role of Muslim religious scholars in spreading Islam and establishing peace in the region. Those are the people whose names remained rooted

This paper addresses an intelligent uncertainty function to improve the robust stability and performance of H∞ controlled system in terms of reduced conservatism. The system is identified, out-put performance and control signal requirements are controlled by proper selection of performance and control weighting functions. Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inf

In this paper a new intelligent identification method of uncertainty bound utilizes an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in a feedback scheme isnproposed. The proposed ANFIS feedback structurenperforms better in determining the uncertainty bounds withnminimum number of iterations and error. In our proposedntechnique, the intelligent iden

Aim To investigate whether normotensive young adults with family history of hypertension demonstrate exaggerated cardiovascular responses to both mental and physical stimuli as compared to normotensive young adults without family history of hypertension. Methods Normotensive undergraduate students of normotensive parents (n = 40) and of hypertensiv

Children have difficulty in understanding numbers unlike adults. They are easily attracted to displayed images and icons rather than numbers. Therefore, in any evaluation with children, it is better to avoid the use of numerical scaling towards them. For this study is concern on the method used when evaluating with children, this study promotes the

This paper presents practical research work that has been done on energy efficiency for assessing and carrying out energy efficiency exercises for electric motors (induction & synchronous electrical motors), lights, fans-blowers and other appliances used by the current industry. The main purpose works is to save energy and save energy costs. Pr
