In this Discussion we shall reflect on various aspects of the recently published paper by Elaiw and Ibrahim (2008). Their paper considers the onset of convective instabilities of a mixed convection boundary layer induced by the combined presence of a hot horizontal surface in an unbounded porous medium and an externally-imposed uniform horizontal forced convective flow. These authors also adopt...

This paper reports an assessment on a physical informal learning environment at a public university in Malaysia. The physical aspects investigated were the space conditions and utilisation that support informal learning activities undertaken by students outside their formal lecture hours. The research was conducted to understand how existing university facilities accommodate informal learning, ...

The patterns of genetic variation of present-day European terrestrial fauna and flora have been influenced by repetitive fluctuations between major glacial and interglacial climatic cycles that have occurred during the Quaternary period (Hewitt, 2004, and references therein). The isolation of species into one or more refugia during the glaciations (Hewitt, 1996) and the mode of post-glacial col...

Variable selection and transformation selection are two commonly encountered problems in the linear model. It is often of interest to combine these two procedures in an analysis. Due to recent developments in computing technology, such a procedure is now feasible. In this paper, we propose two variable and transformation selection procedures on the predictor variables in the linear model. The r...
