The multi-criteria decision-making has received significant attention by both researchers and decision makers due to its ability to derive effectively a compromise solution in the decision process. The focus of this paper is to propose a conflicting bifuzzy evaluation in the overall decision process using linguistic expressions. The approach is bas

Disposal of sewage sludge is a main problem faced by local municipalities in Malaysia. Sludge conditioned with chemical polymer often termed as undesirable use for land application. However, using natural polymer will help to reduce the impact of this problem. In this study, optimization using Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural polymer in sewage s

The increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) being generated each year poses a serious dilemma in choosing the best MSW disposal system in Malaysia. Since the decision process involves uncertainty, multiple considerations, and incom- plete datasets, a simple and e±cient method is urgently required in order to achieve a better decision. This paper c

This introduction introduces briefly the chapters/topics of the book to the readersINTRODUCTION Anis Malik Thoha Interest in the study of religion other than one‟s own has shown a remarkable increase.

The government of Malaysia strongly encourages the Malaysian contractors to obtain ISO 9001 certification. The certification is to produce contractors that practice standards that are recognized not only in Malaysia but also abroad. However, the number of ISO 9001 certified contractors in Malaysia is very low if compared with the total number of co

This paper discusses an alternative computation approach for the fuzzy linguistics evaluation process that utilises the concept of ‘computing with words’. Three steps were established under the linguistic information; i) identification of the linguistic term set with its semantic, ii) choosing the appropriate aggregation operator of linguistic

This paper tests the use of Third-Person Effect Theory (TPET) on political campaign on self, family, supporters, non-supporters, and non-supporters of other parties. Previous research mainly tested the TPET on the mass media. Thus, the application of the TPET is extended to gauge the effect of political campaign. This is important as the campaign c

Learning styles theory is widely acknowledged amongst educational theorists. However, there is little research evidence on the adoption and adaptation of learning styles in an e-Learning environment, specifically in respect of personalised learning environments. In this context, evidence identifies that the more thoroughly instructors understand th

This study was designed to validate the model of science teachers’ support of psychologicalbasic needs on student engagement. In the model, we also examined the relationships of each support namely autonomy, competence and relatedness based on the framework of Basic Psychological needs theory by Deci and Ryan (1985) and Skinner and Belmont (1993)

In this paper we propose a scheme that provides physical layer security by combining two techniques known as encryption and channel pre-compensation. Encryption transforms the original signal constellation into a higher order constellation based on the key sequence generated by AES in counter-mode. Channel pre-compensation is performed based on the
