The paper aims to develop the finite element (FE) models of tibia with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) based on a patient-specific computed tomography (CT)-images. Two types of FE model have been developed. The first model was set the tibia bone as a single solid model whereas the second model consists of cortical bone and cancellous bone. The develop

The differences in opinion in the genealogy for some references are to the manner in which the information was presented orally prior to its writing. It is interesting that the version presented by the Islamic sources is far more data-oriented when compared to the views of Orientalists like Cornellius and his contemporaries who focus on Ishmael and

This article presents a study of land-use analysis in determining transit-oriented development (TOD) typology planning by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in Shah Alam, Malaysia. The analysis of research was conducted through land-use evaluation criteria that have been selected, which are coverage

Objective: Suicidal ideation is common in older people worldwide. However, there is a lack of data about suicidal ideation and its risk factor among Malaysian population. Aims: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms, and risk factors contributing to suicidal ideation among older people.Methods: A cross sectional st

This paper analyses the process of independence in Sabah and the consequent Islamisation of its population, which caused the amendment of the State Constitution in 1973. The first part of the paper states that the unification of Sabah with Malaya into the Federation of Malaysia guaranteed its independence from the British colonial rule as well as s

In Malaysia, English is considered a ‘strong’ second language (Azman, 2016). Realising the importance of English, many Malaysian families opt to speak English at home, even though English is not their first language (Hashim, 2014; Mohamed Salleh, Kawaguchi, Jones, & Biase, 2016; Salehuddin, 2012). Therefore, this paper aims to examine the c

A Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) incorporating zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles-based saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. To form the SA, the ZnO nanoparticles, which are originally in the powder form, are first dissolved in ethanol and subsequently deposited onto the surface of fiber ferrule by using the adhesion effect

Modern day fighter aircrafts are mostly canard configured because of its advantages over conventional configuration. The primary objective of this work is to investigate the low speed aerodynamic and stability characteristics of a canard configured aircraft. Using CFD -ANSYS Fluent package, numerical flow simulations were carried out for a typical

The aerodynamic drag on trucks can be reduced by use of active and passive techniques. In this work a passive method of using a cab-extender that is attached to the rear of the tractor is attempted. This cab-extender will help in reducing the drag force that act on the truck by minimizing the gap between the tractor and trailer. In this study, a tr

In this paper, shape control of composite plates using piezoelectric actuators is being investigated. The goal of this study was to see how composite plates behave when they are integrated with piezoelectric actuators. Modelling and simulation were done using COMSOL Multiphysics software and results were validated using previously published studies
