This study investigates the perception of Malaysian housemen on what the indicators of competence are in the medical practice. This derives from the need for the interns to have the requisite skill needed to make them competent in the post-medical school medical practice. A survey questionnaire was administered on all 2,046 housemen in all medical

This paper describes and proposes an efficient and effective framework for the design and development of a speaker-independent continuous automatic Arabic speech recognition system based on a phonetically rich and balanced speech corpus. The speech corpus contains a total of 415 sentences recorded by 40 (20 male and 20 female) Arabic native speaker

Online recognition of Arabic handwritten text has been an on-going research problem for many years. Generally, online text recognition field has been gaining more interest lately due to the increasing popularity of hand-held computers, digital notebooks and advanced cellular phones. However, different techniques have been used to build several onli

The problem of getting lost anywhere by pedestrians that uses mobile device will be reduce when 3D representation (Map) of an environment is provided in his/her mobile devices. Over the years, there are growing number of pedestrian navigation aided application for mobile devices, Unfortunately certain issue concerning the use of mobile devices as a

This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a research work for developing an automatic person identification system using voice biometric. The developed automatic person identification system mainly used toolboxes provided by MATLAB environment. To extract features from voice signals, Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC

The study proposes an improved feature extraction method that is called Wavelet Cepstral Coefficients (WCC). In traditional cepstral analysis, the cepstrums are calculated with the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). Owing to the fact that the DFT calculation assumes signal stationary between frames which in practice is not quite true, the

لقد اختلفت استجابة الطلبة من شخص إلى آخر بسبب خلفيتهم في تعلم اللغة العربية. وذلك يبدو واضحاً في معظم الجامعات خاصة الذين يدرسون في مستوى المبتدئ. ومن الجدير بالذكر، أن تأثر الطلبة الناطقين بغ�

High friction and low wear are the prime functional properties of a brake pad material. Therefore main ingredients of brake pad materials are filler or reinforcement material, binder, friction modifiers, abrasive material and solid lubricant. There is a growing tendency to replace the asbestos filler in brake friction materials. Therefore, this pap

We earlier reported proteomic profiles indicating VDAC2 as a potential biomarker for over-stunned zchicken. The current work focused on cloning VDAC2 gene from chicken’s skeletal muscle into Escherichia coli. R A from chicken’s skeletal muscle was isolated and purified to synthesize the cDNA. After DNA amplification by proofread DNA polymerase,

This study is part of ongoing educational research conducted by the Department of Conservative Dentistry, University of Malaya, Malaysia, to evaluate the perception of clinical pairing. A thirteen-question survey was distributed to 148 dental students after they had experienced four-handed dentistry. The objectives were to identify the advantages,
