Single longitudinal mode (SLM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser operation using a commercialized ultranarrow bandwidth optical filter has been demonstrated. A 2-m long EDF with an absorption coefficient of 24 dB m−1 at the pump wavelength is used as gain medium. The ultra-narrow tunable filter is used for selection of a single longitudinal mode fro

Visually impaired has limited movement using the classic white cane. Currently, there are many designs for devices that can assist the blind moves better in unfamiliar environment. Then, controllers were applied in the devices’ system so that it can improve the system’s efficiency and accuracy in dealing with real-time situations. That’s when

We examine the effect of gender diversity and board monitoring (board size and independence) on bank efficiency. Using a broad panel of ASEAN-5 listed commercial banks over the period 1999-2012, we observe that gender diversity in bank board decreases cost and profit efficiency. This finding confirms our concern that the appointment of female direc

Proof is an important element in a judicial process, thus deep understanding in the principles of evidence is crucial. Some of these principles are quite rigid and other are very flexible. The flexibility of the principles could easily accommodate current and complex issues. Furtunetely, most of these principles are already embodied in the Act or E

The magnetorheological (MR) damper is one of the utmost progressive applications of asemi-active damper. Uninterrupted controllability in both on and off state is an important factor of its plenitude application. Current research is attempting to make the damper more effective and efficient by minimizing the existing limitations such as MR fluid’

The Muslim Friendly Hospitality Services (MFHS) standard is Malaysia’s first standard dedicated for the Islamic tourism sector. Initiated and led by NRGS130010001 Research Team of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM),the original submission to develop the standard was made in December 2012 to the Department of Standards Malaysia (

Study on scleractinian coral recruitment is important in understanding the mechanisms that regulate their population and the resilience of coral reef communities to disturbance. This study aims to investigate temporal recruitment density of scleractinian coral at selected remote area in Balok, Pahang. Two types of settlement plates, which are terra

This paper presents an effective technique to measure angle of rotation using optical polarizer. In this case combination of single wavelength partially polarised laser beam and a linear polarizer are used for the rotational angle measurement. The power of the transmitted partially polarized light was found varied according to the angle variation o

This talk is about first results on the summability of the spectral expansions of distributions from the Sobolev spaces with negative smoothness. These results were obtained by Prof. Shavkat Alimov in 1993 and have led to the development of new interesting research directions of the spectral theory of differential operators.1 Workshop o n Modern Me

This study is aimed at exploring the relationship between perception and practices of folk medicines among youth in Pakistan. The quantitative research method was adopted to achieve its objectives. Structured questionnaires were distributed among respondents to collect data. The respondents were youth whose ages range from 18 to 25 residing in twin
