Over recent years, the number of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) installations for home systems have been increasing in Malaysia. The paper concerns an analysis - as part of current Research and Development (R&D) efforts - to integrate photovoltaics as an architectural feature of a detached house in the new satellite township of Putraja

Motion control systems play an important role in industrial engineering applications such as advanced manufacturing systems, semiconductor manufacturing system and robot systems. Until know, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are still the most popular controller used in industrial control systems including motion control systems du

In this paper we introduce a new class of quadratic stochastic operators called sξ-QSO. We classify such operators on 2D-simplex, into six non-isomorphic classes, with respect to their conjugacy and renumeration of the coordinates.3rd International Conference on Science & Tech nology: Applications in Industry & Education Universiti Teknolo

Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a system and method for rearing freshwater fish such as sutchi catfish and African catfish or the like, which is capable of reducing cannibalistic activities among the fish. In the system, a safe and conducive place for young fish to grow is provided. The fish kept in the system have shown tha

We consider an Ising competitive model defined over a triangular Husimi tree where loops, responsible for an explicit frustration, are even allowed. We first analyze the phase diagram of the model with fixed couplings in which a “gas of noninteracting dimmers (or spin liquid) — ferro or antiferromagnetic ordered state” zero temperature transi

Hydrogen is probably the most promising solution to our global energy problems for the future. However, in order to support the developing hydrogen economy, efficient processes for hydrogen production and storage become necessary. Now a days, the hydrogen production is a large and growing industry. Globally, some 50 million metric tons of hydrogen

Terrorism is an old phenomenon but its modern manifestation was first noted in the 19th century with the anarchist group who assassinated Czar Alexander II in 1881. Since then it has continued unabated but its intensity and frequency increased in the 21st century. This study examines the trends in international terrorism and, in particular, analyse

The Medical Faculty of the International Islamic University Malaysia runs an undergraduate medical programme which implements a combination of traditional and new medical curricular trends. Problem based learning (PBL) is one of the teaching-learning approaches used in the preclinical years. This study analyses the effectiveness of PBL from the pre

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been successfully synthesized by using in-house fabricated Double Stage Chemical Vapor Deposition (DS-CVD) technique, using acetylene (C2H2) and hydrogen (H2) as the precursor gases. The purity, morphology and the structure of CNTs were then characterized using Field Emission Scanning Microscope (FESEM), Transmission El

In the present paper we are going to investigate phase transition phenomena from the dynamical system point of view. Using the derived recursive relations we define one dimensional fractional p-adic dynamical system. We establish that if q is divisible by p, then such a dynamical system has two repelling and one attractive fixed points, in this cas
