Biodiesel as an alternative renewable fuel is increasingly been considered as blending components or replacement for conventional petroleum fuel. Although the acceptability of biodiesel in automotive application is relatively a successful story, it is an issue with regards to its materials incompatibility. When compared to diesel, biodiesel is more

Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is a new radio access technology that is expected to provide better experience among the mobile cellular users. It delivers multimedia services using packet switching technology. Therefore, intelligent design of packet scheduling for the LTE-A to provide Quality of Service (QoS) comparable to fixed line services

The prediction of surface temperature for brake rotor is regarded as an important step in studying the brake system performance. The frictional heat generated on the rotor surface can influence excessive temperature rise which in turn leads to undesirable effects such as thermal elastic instability (TEI), premature wear, brake fluid vaporization (B

The chapter has identified the frequency and rank of research areas and research variables in Malaysia. The effort is inspired by Erez's (1994) study on the frequency of I/O psychology research variables in different countries. Interpretation based on Hofstede's (1980)framework of cultural dimensions shows that cultural dimensions have an i

The aim of the research is to explore the potential of fern species as natural indicator to forecast microclimate change in the urban area. Fern also known as pteridophyte are not only valuable in term of its ethno-botanical uses such as food and medicine but also useful in ecological values. Fern can be used to treat unhealthy environment such as

This study examines the impact of Shariah Board (SB) characteristics on the financial and social performance of Islamic banks (IBs) from the perspectives of Agency Theory (AT), Stewardship Theory (ST) and the Resource Dependence Theory (RDT). To meet its objective, GMM is employed on a panel data of 15 IBs in Malaysia from 2010 to 2018 covering the

The objective of this study is to examine the performance of Islamic banks (IBs) in Malaysia based on zakat (ZOA and ZOE) and ROA and ROE. This is to effectively understand the factors influencing the performance of IBs in Malaysia. The study employs a balanced panel of 15 IBs for the period 2009-2018 using the System-GMM. The study provides justif

Tungsten was incorporated into silica matrix using sodium silicate from rice husk at pH 10, 7 and 3. These catalysts were labeled as RHW-10, RHW-7 and RHW-3. The pH was found to have a strong influence on the structure of the resulting silica–tungsten species and its catalytic activity. Analysis suggests that the catalysts were composed of isolat

Silica supported amorphous molybdenum catalysts had been synthesized in alkali, neutral and acidic medium via sol–gel technique. The catalysts were found to be amorphous and free from bulk MoO3. UV–Vis diffuse reflectance analysis and XPS analysis indicated the co-existence of Mo5+ and Mo6+ species when the incorporation was done in acidic medi
