In this paper, heterojunction nanowires of Ni-Se are fabricated via template-assisted electrodeposition process. Nanowires are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry and electrical transport studies. S...
Aims: Anxiety and depression are common in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The longitudinal relationships between mental health and disease severity, progression and symptom burden are unknown. This study aims to identify if the prevalence and severity of anxiety and depress...
Earthquakes have been seldom associated with reported non-seismic phenomena observed weeks before and after shocks. Non-seismic phenomena are characterized by unusual sounds and light emissions as well as degassing of vast areas near the epicentre with chemical alterations of sha...
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of palm fibers on the properties of lightweight concrete. Such lightweight concrete was produced from coarse lightweight crushed brick and fine lightweight crushed brick (CLWA and FLWA). Different percentages of palm fiber; 0, 0.25,...
CuS films were fabricated by a chemical bath deposition process in an aqueous solution of cupric acetate, thiourea, and different contents of sodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA-2Na) at 50ºC. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, ultrav...

Microbial communities have a vast importance to the ecosystem being of use by humans for health or industrial purposes. Most bacteria can be distinguished into three groups: saprophytic; symbiotic and parasitic. Saprophytic bacteria, which are the major decomposers of organic mat...
In the present scenario, the digital image processing has enveloped the whole world of advancing technology. The changes on-going in the world are directly or indirectly related to the processing of digital images. In this paper, we studied the impact of changing contrast and bri...

This paper investigates the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and export (X) towards Malaysia’s economic growth over the period 1980 to 2011. Most past empirical studies observed that both FDI and export are the important sources of economic growth especially a...
Aims: Assessing how medical teams in a paediatric cancer hospital cope with the legal requirement to search for the child’s consent for an inclusion in a clinical trial and children’s participation in tough medical decisions. Study Design: Anthropologic Field Study. Place and Dur...
The holy grail of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the reproduction of the cognitive processes in Silicon based computing machines to mimic the human or animal cognitive behavior. Computationalism attempts to explain cognition in terms of different internal representations a...
