This study presents the comparison of the cumulative distribution of tropospheric scintillation models in order to see which model suits the best with the measured one. About six different models were compared and studied with the measured one. The scintillation data were taken from January 2011 till December 2011 which totals up to a 12 month peri

Housing design has significantly changing due to the mass production of housing, modernization, technological advancement with different human thoughts and a diverse housing preference and needs. This eventually has contributed to the new interpretation and definition of privacy among human, not excluding the Muslims, which apparently created a non

Scintillation is the rapid signal fluctuations of amplitude and phase of a radiowave which can cause signal lossin the transmission path with time. Other propagation factors that contribute to the signal fluctuations must be omitted before using the raw data for scintillation studies. Scintillation occurs continuously whether it is under clear sky

This cross-cultural study is an attempt to examine the relationship between meaning and burnout among university staff in Malaysia and Thailand using the Life Regard index and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (English version)

This paper examines the behavioural adaptation of Malay families living in terrace houses in relation to the activity system, privacy and social interaction and terrace housing modification due to the constraint of terrace housing designs. The study uses case studies of 11 Malay families living in the three-bedroom two-storey terrace houses in two

Meditation is considered to be an altered state of consciousness associated with heightened cognitive functions and transcendental experiences [1]. The neural dynamics in meditative states needs to be explored and an objective analysis of such states is required in order to achieve best result in this study. In this paper we do brain signal detecti

The professionalization of computer crime has resulted in a shift in motivation away from bragging rights towards financial gain. As a result, the operational tactics of cyber criminals is beginning to incorporate reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to inform attack planning. This paper discusses why information leakage in general, and Online

This work presents active control of high-frequency vibration using skyhook dampers. The choice of the damper gain and its optimal location is crucial for the effective implementation of active vibration control. In vibration control, certain sensor/actuator locations are preferable for reducing structural vibration while using minimum control effo
