Asthma, airway symptoms and rhinitis in office workers in Malaysia: associations with House Dust Mite (HDM) allergy, cat allergy and levels of house dust mite allergens in office dust

A smart meter is one of the core components in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) that is responsible for providing effective control and monitor of electrical energy consumptions. The multifunction tasks that a smart meter carries out such as facilitating two-way communication between utility p...
