A lot of Shading Devices designs have been developed over the years to filter daylight into buildings. Complex shading devices which are characterised such as geometrical pattern, intense egg-grate configurations and irregular organic shapes are popular in Malaysia and rarely been investigated. These types of shading devices are significant in the

Based on an ethnographic study about the Torrens River catchment in South Australia, this paper examines people’s perceptions and responses to river pollution. While the study does not directly deal with the issue of climate change, it is always there in some form. The paper begins, therefore, with an exploration on how freshwater resources world

The ratio of reinforcement-concrete is the measurement of reinforcement content in reinforced concrete. Higher the ratio means higher content of reinforcement in the reinforced concrete and it will increase the cost of the reinforced concrete frame. The objectives of this research are to determine the reinforcement-concrete ratio for the element of

The buckling problem of annular plate with only one edge (either inner or outer edge) constrained is formulated and presented in this paper. The boundary condition is simply supported inner edge - free outer edge. The results are compared between the FEM results obtained using ABAQUS and results reported in literature. The results shows good agreem

Malaysia has its own inbuilt history of evolution of healthcare facilities designs from the traditional to contemporary mega structures we witness today. Each designs has its own story foretold the epidemiology phenomena, capacity and inspiration of a developing nation. From simplistic idea of housing aspects of health in single isolated buildings

A country paper on Malaysia depicting the improvement and measures taken and planned for the community wellbeing as well as strategic planning for efficient transport system. The presentation introduces the fundamental principles of corporate social responsibility of Malaysia through Malaysian's own quality of life index that follows with the v

Train overcrowding has been associated with a number of negative outcomes, including psychological stress, negative health effects, negative behavioural reactions, and spillover effects. Despite the seriousness of this issue, there is little agreement on the appropriate demand management strategies to deal with the increasing passenger numbers, par

Maqasid shari‘ah or objectives of Islamic law constitute an extremely important element of determining law. Despite, its significance and importance, it is often ignored in the policymaking, in the process of legislation related to the public interest. Perhaps this is due to the lack of knowledge of the policy makers of the importance of objectiv

The UAV system has becoming increasingly popular in the application such as surveillance, reconnaissance, mapping and many more. Different from guided vehicles, which rely on the pilot to navigate the system, UAV relies on autonomous control to provide this functionality. Hence, precise feedback on the position of the UAV is very important. Unlike

Aquatic plants are excellent phytoindicator because they respond to nutrients, light, toxic, contaminants, metals, herbicides, turbidity, water level change and salt. However, the negative impact of excessive nutrients on riverine and palustrine systems, estuaries and coastal waters give a serious global problem. Butrients that arise rapidly from e
