Due to the advancements in the field of quantum computing and possible compromise of existing key-exchange algorithms, it is essential to explore performance and efficiency of new key-exchange techniques, such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). QKD is possible over fiber cable and Free Space Optical (FSO) links. Fiber based QKD may be used if direc

Objective: To study the effect of intrapartum pethidine administration on the fetal heart rate pattern and neonatal outcome. Method: This is a prospective observational study done on forty low risk uncomplicated pregnancy at term in the first stage of labour. The study was done in the labour suite in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan Kuantan, Malaysia.

The paper examines the role of learning climate (autonomy supportive vs. controlling), intrinsic motivation resulting from the three basic needs satisfaction, as posited by Self Determination Theory of motivation, self-perception of choice and self-awareness on students’ study engagement. The data were collected from 529 undergraduates students (

The paper examines the role of learning climate (autonomy supportive vs. controlling), intrinsic motivation resulting from the three basic needs satisfaction (as posited by Self Determination Theory of motivation), self-perception of choice and self-awareness on students’ study engagement and academic performance (measured in terms of CGPA). The

Random vibration is becoming more and more important for many applications. It poses a serious challenge to the researchers because of its complex nature. In this paper we tried to classify the existing random vibration solution techniques and explain them in clear manner that will help any researcher in the future to apply the right approach for t

In this paper, this design was a Nonlinear Energy-based Control Method (NEM) controller for a Three degree-of-freedom (3 DOF) Helicopter developed by Quanser. It is a control design technique that exploits the energy state of a system to achieve stabilization and/or tracking. There are four stages to design NEM controller, which are: energy-based m
