In recent years, Malaysian businesses have faced various issues related to working capital management (WCM), which affected their profitability, liquidity, and overall financial performance. According a report by the World Bank, only 18.5% of SMEs (which include many manufacturing companies) had access formal financing in 2018, with majority relying on internal funds or informal sources (World ...

The water cloud model (WCM) can be inverted to estimate leaf area index (LAI) using the intensity of backscatter from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors. Published studies have demonstrated that WCM accurately LAI if is effectively calibrated. However, calibration this requires access field measures as well soil moisture. In contrast, machine learning (ML) algorithms trained satellite data,...

Businesses strive for effective working capital management (WCM) since ineffective WCM influences firms’ failure in developing economies. However, the connection between and going concern of firms has not received significant quantitative attention. Hence, this study examines impact on manufacturing businesses Ghana. The goes beyond edges fills literature gap concerns. Using panel data 55 large...

The antioxidant effect of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was previously demonstrated. Understanding how PLA2 inhibits lipid oxidation promoted by hemoglobin (Hb) is important for its applications in muscle foods. Effects enzyme dose, pH, and calcium ion on the ability to inhibit trout hemoglobin-mediated were investigated washed cod (WCM). Results indicated that required both hydrol...

Mechanisms to mitigate climate change in tropical countries such as India require information on forest structural components i.e., biomass and carbon for conservation steps to be implemented successfully. The present study focuses on investigating the potential use of a one time, QuadPOL ALOS PALSAR L-band 25 m data to estimate above-ground biomass (AGB) using a water cloud model (WCM) in a wi...

Methods of web data mining can be divided into several categories according to a kind of mined information and goals that particular categories set: Web structure mining (WSM), Web usage mining (WUM), and Web Content Mining (WCM). The objective of this paper is to propose a new WCM method of a page relevance ranking based on the page content exploration. The method, we call it Page Content Rank...

This study aims to estimate the soil moisture (SM) in all-sky agriculture areas using fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Gaofen-3 (GF-3) data. The vegetation index (RVI) is obtained SAR data, which overcomes difficulty that optical data cannot construct cloud-covered areas. RVI introduced into water cloud model (WCM) remove contribution of total backscatter σ0 and obtain backscat...

Spectrally-peaked proton beams of high charge (E 8 MeV p » , E 4 MeV D » , N 50 » nC )have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( 1019 > Wcm)with ultrathinCH foils, asmeasured by spectrally-resolved full beamprofiles. These beams are reproducibly generated for foil thicknesses 5–100 nm, and exhibit narrowing divergencewith decreasing target thickness down to 8 »  for 5 nm. Si...

The performance of devices fabricated from GaN and related compounds is strongly affected by the resistances caused by electrical contacts. To avoid excessive heating resulting in a failure of the device, speciŽc contact resistances less than ,10 Wcm for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and less than ,10 Wcm for laser diodes are required. This applies in particular to ohmic contacts on p-doped GaN ...

Laser explosive microfabrication was used to bond micrometre-thick aluminium films to both copper and silicon substrates. Bonding was observed in both systems for laser intensities greater than about 1 x 109 Wcm 2 and resulted in contiguous, uniform films when performed in a rough vacuum of 25 to 70 millitorr. At intensities greater than 9 x 109 Wcm -2 the transferred films were generally black...
