This study examines the appointment process for independent directors in public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia. To this end, open-ended interviews were conducted with chairmen of nomination committees of PLCs in Malaysia in order to understand the appointment process. The results revealed that nominations may come from various sources, includi

The success of every housing area is determined by its user satisfaction level, living there. The quality of the house, its spaces within the unit, housing neighbourhood and green open space can directly influence the quality of life. Limitation of space following high land cost in urban area, evaluation of the housing environment as a whole includ

Knowing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of voltage source inverter (VSI) is important and must be within the allowable range. Several schemes are suggested to mitigate THD and to produce as much a sinusoidal output signal as would be possible. One of such schemes is using Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM)-based inverter. SPWM is usually used

This study is a part of an ongoing research to discover subjective indicators of sustainable well-being for Malaysia. Initial findings recognized two important notions of subjective measures of sustainable well-being. The first notion suggested that sustainable well-being manifested in human interdependency. The second notion suggested that human i

Introduction: To review the gestational age at diagnosis, method of diagnosis, pregnancy outcome and maternal complications of prenatally diagnosed lethal foetal anomalies. Methods: Retrospective review of 25 women who had aborted or delivered foetuses with lethal anomalies in a tertiary hospital in 2011 based on patient medical records. Results: T

Knowing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) content of voltage source inverter (VSI) is important and must be within the allowable range. Several schemes are suggested to mitigate THD and to produce as much a sinusoidal output signal as would be possible. One of such schemes is using a Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation SPWM-based inverter. SPWM is usua

Specific odd harmonics can be mitigated by operating the simeconductor switches in H-bridge inverters at optimized switching angles of the PWM signals. These switching angles can be achieved by calculating a set of nonlinear equations using Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHE PWM) technique. Modulation index (m) is a signific

INTRODUCTION: Training is essential in order to get a similar result in scoring caries. International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is used in this training. The objectives of this study is to examine dental students 3 months consistency in scoring caries after baseline training, calibration and retraining at 3 months time compare

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysis that is important to speed up reaction. Enzymes can be found naturally from the microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and yeast which may not be genetically modified. In this perspectives, resorting to bioremediation to clean-up such environment may prove feasible and beneficial as microorganisms effe
