The usage of non-degradable polymer as the main matrix for a cosmetic patch raises concern, as it can cause environmental pollution when discarded in landfill. Thus, biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) was chosen in this study, as PLA has non-toxic properties and similar mechanical properties to conventional plastic materials. An active ingredient

In aerodynamics study, whenever there is a flat/blunt face, it will result in the maximum drag effect on the flat body. In these types of problems, the splitter plates have found a significant role in reducing the drag force. The splitter plate will separate/bifurcate the flow at the front face of the body. The present study aims to find the fluid

Interface characteristics and reaction mechanism play a major role in determining the properties of Al-SiCp composite. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the interface mechanism of Al-SiCp composite developed by stir casting process. The SiCp is preheated for 2 hrs at 1200 °C prior to addition into the Al alloy melt. Moreover, 1 wt

In Malaysia, energy consumption by households grew by 6.9%. Meanwhile, energy supply rose 6.1% from 1991 to 2006. Thus, if energy consumption continues to increase in the future, the supply of energy will be lacking. The steady growth of electricity consumption in Malaysia is directly linked to CO2 emissions and climate change, which increases the

Purpose – This paper aims to improve the understanding of the institutional pressures that shape the intention to adopt waqf accounting and reporting. The study seeks to answer two research questions as follows: what are the challenges in the adoption of waqf accounting and reporting in waqf institutions; and how do institutional pressures influe

With the rapid growth of internet technologies, large-scale online services, such as data backup and data recovery are increasingly available. Since these large-scale online services require substantial networking, processing, and storage capacities, it has become a considerable challenge to design equally large-scale computing infrastructures that

Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) has become one of the major concerns in the hospital setting due to its ability to cause hospital-acquired infection particularly from medical device contamination. The management of S. epidermidis infections become more challenging with the increase of antimicrobial resistance cases over the past years.

Assessment methods are also commonly classified as either being traditional, alternative or authentic depending on the nature of the task used in the assessment procedure. Alternative assessments usually involve real life tasks and are often multidimensional; thus, more holistic in the assessment of learning. On the other hand, the tasks that are c

Cameron Highland is classified as one of the landslide-prone areas in Malaysia due to its hilly landform. It has been discovered that the landslides in Cameron Highland were mainly triggered by the intense rainfall since the area encountered high amount of rainfall throughout the year. This study is carried out to evaluate the correlation between t
