This paper investigates the performance of well known packet scheduling algorithms developed for single carrier wireless systems from a real time video streaming perspective. The performance evaluation is conducted using the downlink third generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) system as the simulation platform. This paper co

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Malaysia. The prevalence of hypertension nearly doubled over a ten-year period (1986 – 1996). This has resulted in a significant rise in its attendant cost. We aim to review the institutional anti-hypertensive use, the cost incurred and the implicat

Bilateral simultaneous facial nerve palsy is an extremely rare clinical entity and may occur in association with a variety of neurological, infectious, neoplastic or degenerative disorders. We describe a patient, who presented with facial diplegia and normal reflexes on examination. During the entire hospitalization, he developed no motor weakness

In this paper, SU8 polymer was used to fabricate a waveguide and microring resonator for optical biosensing applications in liquid mediums. Microring resonators offer the advantage of reducing the device size by orders of magnitude without scarifying the interaction length. The strength of the interaction can be measured by their resonance waveleng

Currently, the availability of mobile health (mHealth) applications is growing, implying the development and effectiveness of healthcare facilities. However, the sensitive medical information potentially intrudes into the privacy and security of users which has not been acknowledged by the user. The lack of guidance regarding privacy policy assessm

The aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN)-based deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED) has been a prominent device due to its contribution in various fields. The electron blocking layer (EBL) is an additional layer in the epitaxy of the DUV-LED with the aim of reducing the overflow of electrons and improving the hole injection, consequently inc

Introduction : With its 120-strong teaching staff, supported by 26 administrative staff and a total student population of 2,500, the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws (AlKOL) is perhaps the biggest law faculty in South-East Asia. From its humble beginnings in 1983, with 3 teaching staff and 59 students, it has indeed made impressive progress. What ma

A statistical optimization was studied to design a media composition to produce optimum cellulolytic enzyme where palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a basal medium and filamentous fungus, Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 were used in the liquid state bioconversion(LSB). 2% (w/v) total suspended solid, TSS, of the POME supplemented with 1% (w/v) cellulose,

Contracts feature in all areas of our daily lives. For example, without much thought, we become party to a variety of contracts when we travel by bus or rail, purchase goods, accept services, and carry out our duties in the workplace. Contracts are so prevalent that ordinary men or women in the street do not realize the legal complexities of the tr

The conventional contact type brake system which uses a hydraulic system has many problems such as time delay response due to pressure build-up, brake pad wear due to contact movement, bulky size, and low braking performance in a high speed region. As vehicle speed increases, a more powerful brake system is required to ensure vehicle safety and its
