As technology such as the Internet, computers and mobile devices become ubiquitous throughout society, the need to ensure our information remains secure is imperative. Unfortunately, it has long been understood that good security cannot be achieved through technical means alone and a solid understanding of the issues and how to protect yourself is

Learning styles theory is widely acknowledged amongst educational theorists. However, there is little research evidence on the adoption and adaptation of learning styles in an e-Learning environment, specifically in respect of personalised learning environments. In this context, evidence identifies that the more thoroughly instructors understand th

Disposal of sewage sludge is a main problem faced by local municipalities in Malaysia. Sludge conditioned with chemical polymer often termed as undesirable use for land application. However, using natural polymer will help to reduce the impact of this problem. In this study, optimization using Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural polymer in sewage s

In this article I provide a reflexive account of my emotions both prior to and during fieldwork. I begin with a personal narrative that explores my motivations for conducting a study on a pertinent environmental issue – river pollution. My comparative ethnographic fieldwork in two different socio-cultural and environmental settings, that of the K

Based on an ethnographic study about the Torrens River catchment in South Australia, this paper examines people’s perceptions and responses to river pollution. While the study does not directly deal with the issue of climate change, it is always there in some form. The paper begins, therefore, with an exploration on how freshwater resources world

The buckling problem of annular plate with only one edge (either inner or outer edge) constrained is formulated and presented in this paper. The boundary condition is simply supported inner edge - free outer edge. The results are compared between the FEM results obtained using ABAQUS and results reported in literature. The results shows good agreem

A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display common to large TV displays (32" inches or larger). Many tiny cells between two panels of glass hold a mixture of noble gases. The gas in the cells is electrically turned into a plasma which then excites phosphors to emit light. One of major part in the plasma display panel is its pro

Use of semiconductors for power electronics requires unique material characteristics because of the high power levels flowing in the devices. In this research, NTD silicon was try to be developed by using Cf-252 isotopic neutron radioactive sourced (1.6 mCi) instead of using neutron source from nuclear reactor. It was found that concentration of P

This paper fundamentally discusses on the importance of the Landscape Architecture scope of works and professionalism in the application of the GBI. It sets out to investigate how the particular scope of works as well as the involvement of the Landscape Architecture professionals in the organization is being considered throughout the GBI practice.

This paper highlights the term Girl-Child education, the importance of acquisition of knowledge from Western and Islamic perspectives and the obstacles associated with girl-child education in the northern part of Nigeria. A number of factors have been identified militating against girl-childeducation. Some of these factors are: early marriage of gi
