The same scenario also takes place in Malaysia in which awareness of organ donation to help parties in need is not new. Many citizen of Malaysia is aware that their contribution...
Extensive use of technology acceptance model (TAM) in measuring information system related stimulate other researchers to take part in contributing to the knowledge. Using information management student as a respondent to measure perceived attractiveness, physic cost perceptions, perceived usefulness and perceived playfulness toward intended to use of web portal. University student in Malaysia especially...
In this paper, the simple mathematical and statistical model of energy loss at the 6–10 kV electrical network is developed and its reliability was assessed for possibility of using practical applications. Also conducted is the network's integrated parameters study which have influences to the energy loss and determined their relationship and degree of influence.
In this paper we present some recent work we performed on the socio-economic impact of fibre access networks (FTTH/FTTx). We summarise some results from a pre-study on the effects of fibre deployments in Sweden. Specifically, we list and quantify savings in data and telecommunications costs for Swedish local governments, estimate the added values for fibre-connected citizens, and present a multivariate...
Roughness of concrete pavement is partly due to cracks, potholes, road repairs and so on, therefore, pavement roughness is correlated to distress rate. However, the correlation is not clear, and has not been reflected in existing pavement evaluation models. Firstly, linear and nonlinear regression are used to analyze the relationships between international roughness index and pavement distress rate...
Businesses live and die in their ability to correctly invest in areas of competence that delivers value to their customers using the company's unique capabilities, core competencies. There are very scant numbers of practical methods available in literature for determining the core-competencies in small medium enterprise (SME) level. The standard reported practices in the national and regional levels...
On the basis of introducing time-difference ultrasonic flow detection, a regression analysis method for the correction of heat-meter flow is presented in this paper. This article firstly analyzed the principle of ultrasonic flow detection by using the time-difference method, then established the regression model between the flow and the time difference based on the experiment, finally examined the...
The cell is a highly organized system of interacting molecules including DNA, proteins, mRNAs and miRNAs. Analyzing the cell from a systems perspective by integrating different types of data helps reveal the complexity behind the biological process. Although there is emerging evidence that some microRNAs can function as oncogenes or tumour suppressors, the role of microRNAs in mediating cancer progression...
Management is the management holding the owner of a listed company, holding shares of listed companies, in order to address the separation of ownership and management under the conditions of management incentives.

A sample of 1670 employees was investigated by Occupational Stress Scale (OSS), Turnover Intention Scale (TIS) and Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) in this research. The author obtained six dimensionalities of occupational stressors which were work overload,...
A new method for testing the concrete strength which is called noumenon sampling was put forward. Strength data from concrete specimens was processed by the error theory in order to explore this method in testing the strength of concrete. The conversion relationship between the strength of noumenon sampling specimens and the strength of standard maintenance specimens was explored by correction coefficient...
This study has provided empirical evidence where the corporate tax compliance does have a significant relationship with corporate governance mechanisms. The study covered the period of pre MCCG (Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance) revision (2005 to 2006) and post MCCG revision (2007 to 2008).

The work environment variable has positive effect on seminar member outward manifestation with a standardized regression coefficient...
Sensitivity analysis is the premise of studying reservoir-damage mechanism, meanwhile it is also extremely significant to optimize each work link during exploratory boring and development process, and to formulate systemic reservoir-protection technology solutions. After discussing various reservoir-sensitivity prediction methods developed in recent years, we have found that it's an ideal, fast, new...
This paper adopts "PARS-3 Physical Activity Grade Measuring Table", and "Physical Self-Confidence Measuring Table" to test the physical exercise situation and physical self-confidence of 327 university students. Results show that: physical exercise has positive influence on physical health and physical self-confidence, in the influence of physical exercise on physical self-confidence,...
Usage of internet is rapidly increasing in Sri Lanka. However, usage of internet banking is very slow compared to increase of internet users.

The objective of this study was to investigate how different motivational components of social cognitive theory relate to students' use of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies in web — based autonomous English learning (WAEL). University students (n = 140) completed a survey that assessed their task value and self-efficacy, as well as outcome variables that included their use of three self-regulated...
Taking 22 Chinese Taibei men volleyball players as the subjects, we have tested 16 physical quality indexes related to the players' leaping abilities. A “0–1 program” is used to filter the tested figures according to such indexes and the selected ones will be examined by multiple regression analysis to establish the regression model. It has been tested that this model is of statistical significance...
