Piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) is considered as a robust power source, which can power electronic devices by scavenging small magnitudes of energy from ambient vibration. The fundamental advantage of PEH lies in the inherent ability of the piezoelectric material to generate electricity depending on the amount of vibration applied to the mater

Nusantara or the Malay Archipelago lies in South East Asia. An equatorial maritime area was rich with trades and people traffic between the islands and mainland, with its own distinct culture. The coming of Islam into the region was accepted naturally without conquest and thus pave the way into the Malay culture and manifested in the existing archi

Researches on the effectiveness of technology used in learning had shed different light on its affordances in line with the 21st century students. With the student getting savvy by days, this call for newer and relevant approaches towards the use of technology in the classroom. The use of technology should be considered as a tool to meet the demand

The presentation put together efforts by IIUM as a university, as an educational centre, in instilling appreciation and awareness of history and heritage through teaching and learning, research and consultancy. The intention of the quest is not only to study or appreciate the physical structures per se but as lessons learnt on the civilisation of t

Background: Dentistry continues to evolve with the development of restorative materials. Patient satisfaction is an increasingly significant issue in dental practice; therefore, knowledge of the level of patient satisfaction with restorative materials is important. Objectives: The objective was to assess patient satisfaction with composite and amal

In this paper, a new frequency-weighted positive real balanced truncation technique is presented by using a combination of frequency-weighted model reduction with the positive real-truncated balanced realization (PR-TBR). The proposed technique yields passive reduced-order model for a given passive high order model with single-sided weighting only.

Landscape architecture profession plays an important role in the built environment projects that conserve environment especially in a cityscape. Landscape architecture profession in Malaysia was officially formed in 1981 under the name Angkatan Lanskap Arkitek Malaysia (ALAM) and now with the name Institute Landscape Architecture Malaysia (ILAM), t

The present study is aimed to profile the prevalence and determine the risk of aeroallergen sensitization including fungi on gender, ethnicity, and age groups. 225 of the university community population were interviewed using a standard questionnaire by allergists to collect information on demographic including gender, ethnicity, and age.

This chapter aims to explore further information about the background, the profile of the MSME’s sector in East Java. The identification results can be utilized in various ways: policy formulation, identify problems MSMEs, map-ping of a strategy to build competitive advantage for MSMEs. This chapter applied a quantitative approach and the data co

This paper presents the use of a commercial quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to investigate live-cell activity in water-based toxic solutions. The QCM used in this research has a resonant frequency of 10 MHz and consists of an AT-cut quartz crystal with gold electrodes on both sides. This QCM was transformed into a functional biosensor by integrat
