Eye movement can systematically facilitate the detection of brain activities for the discovery of neurologic diseases. However, the traditional techniques such as electrooculography requires expensive equipments, technical handling skills and fairly invasive. This research work aims to test the validity of the low-cost smooth pursuit experimental s

The aim of this study is to develop an indirect effect of customer satisfaction towards the structural relationship of the Takaful agents’ Islamic relationship marketing (IRM) practice and future customer retention. The model was designed and later examined by utilizing the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) procedure on data collected from a su

Introduction: Since its clinical introduction, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has maintained an important role in the management of urinary calculi. The success of ESWL depends on the effective disintegration and evacuation of stone debris. The stone clearance rate differs for renal calculi at different sites, being the lowest for low

MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol has direct impact on the energy efficiency and traffic characteristics of any Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Due to the inherent differences in WSN’s requirements and application scenarios, different kinds of MAC protocols have so far been designed especially targeted to WSNs, though the primary mode of commun

The purpose of this paper is to study the role of budget speech in the Malaysian Government as a “hybrid” for governing both the economy and social cohesion.Through archival research, a governmentality framework and the concept of hybrids (Miller et al., 2008) are employed to explore the role of budget speech in articulating ways in which the g

Fatty acid constituents of total lipids extracted from the head, the skin and the viscera of three neritic tuna species, namely Thunnus tonggol, Euthynnus affinis and Auxis thazard, using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and Soxhlet extraction method were determined and compared. Saturated fatty acid (39.7– 48.5%) was dominant in conjunction

The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich fish oil fractionated from tuna head using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) were stored at 4°C and –18°C for 60 days to study the storage stability. The changes in fatty acids, iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), acid value (AV), and saponification value (SV) up to 30 days were found to be ne
