Background: Studies from Western countries have observed that couples undergoing infertility treatment suffer various physical and psychological difficulties at a higher frequency than the comparable general population. These relate to treatment challenges and other psychosocial stressors, often influenced by coping style, personality factors and a

The photochemical transformation of the organic photochromic dyes is influenced by many independent factors. One of the most important characteristics of the photochromic dyes that need to be focused on is its photostability. The effects of the type of dyes and solvents on the optical absorption spectra and fading rate constant stability have been

This paper investigates the tensile properties and the morphology of the fractured surface of the biomimetic composite scaffold material which is used to fabricate the scaffold that grows the hard tissue like substances. Morphology of the fractured surface was analyzed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM).International Journal of Engineering Re

RESEARCH FINDINGS From a total of 600 selected respondents, 588 agreed to participate and 8 were excluded. From 580 respondents, 81.7 % were Malays, 8.8% were Chinese and 9.5% were other races. Of these participants, 57% were females and 43% obtained secondary education. The age range is between 13 to 61 years. This indicates as early as 13 year-ol

Introduction; Research in the field of family study in Malaysia is facing a setback as there is no validated instrument to explore the family environment. The intensifying social related problems such as illegal racing, substance misuses, conduct disorder, physical and sexual abuse, indicate that exploration on family environment is essential. The

Islamic equity portfolios work with a smaller investment universe given the filtering of non-Shari’ah compliant stocks. It has been theoretically argued that this culminates in suboptimal portfolio diversification which in turn adversely affects risk-adjusted returns. We employ a number of methods, namely construction of efficient frontiers, time

Electromagnetic wave propagation in arid and semi-arid regions is influenced by sand and dust storms. Meager information has hitherto been reported as to the effect of storms on telecommunication systems operating in such regions. This paper presents a survey of current understanding of the wave propagation during storms. In this first part of the

This paper implicitly discusses method of using dual orthogonal polarizations to optimally conserve frequency spectrum. This has, in the recent time, received considerable interest in the field of electromagnetic wave propagation in sand and dust storms. The realization of a dual-polarized system is thus 1imited by degree of cross polar discriminat

Environmental crime can be considered as a perpetration of harms against the environment and human health that violate the law. Thus, it differs considerably from the traditional criminal model that focuses on crimes against persons and private property. For this and other reasons, environmental crime would take longer to be accepted as a genuine c
