PENGENALAN Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, kerajaan Malaysia amat menghargai peranan dan sumbangan belia di dalam arus pembangunan negara. Sesungguhnya golongan belia merupakan aset yang terpenting kepada Negara dan mereka inilah yang akan terus menerajui pembangunan negara di masa yang akan datang. Justeru itu, ia amat bersesuaian dengan maksud pe

A surface breakdown (flashover) might occur on the surface of an insulator when it was bombarded by electron beam until exceeding a critical value. The strength of SiO2 added MgO to withstand flashover treeing appearance was evaluated by bombarding the samples by 25 keV electron beam generated by a scanning electron microscope. There was a signific

This chapter attempts to provide a condensed account of the philosophical and sociological thought of the twentieth-century eminent Algerian thinker Malik Bennabi (1905–73). It focuses on his views pertaining to religion, society, and culture. The present chapter consists of three main sections that are prefaced with a short biographical sketch o

OBJECTIVE: To assess ultrasonographically (US) guided needle aspiration of breast abscesses as an alternative to surgical incision and drainage. METHODS: In our prospective study, 30 patients with 31 breast abscesses (one patient had bilateral breast abscess) underwent percutaneous breast abscess drainage under US guidance with local anaesthesia an

We consider a nearest-neighbor Potts model, with countable spin values Φ = {0, 1, . . .}, and nonzero external field, on a Cayley tree of order k (with k + 1 neighbors). We study translation-invariant ‘splitting’ Gibbs measures. The problem is reduced to the description of the solutions of some infinite system of equations. We give full descri

This paper presents an approach to establish models for tool life in end milling of titanium alloy Ti–6Al– 4V using uncoated carbide inserts under dry conditions. Small central composite design (CCD) was employed in developing the tool life model in relation to primary cutting parameters such as cutting speed, axial depth of cut and feed. Flank

A preliminary model is introduced in this paper whereby data and its associated security properties are treated as a single atomic unit of information in a hardware-only context. Security-tagged data allows each datum to be properly manipulated with a predictable assurance. This paper addresses the data modeling, process modeling and network modeli

Understanding the relay channel is a key to developing efficient cooperative schemes, which could significantly enhance the efficiency of a wireless network. In this study, we consider a decode-and-forward (DF) relay channel and address the resource allocation for optimal relaying.Unleashing the Full Potential of Relaying Elsheikh M. A. Elsheikh, a

Al-daman (guarantee) is one of the legitimate means used to protect ownership and other financial rights. It is one of the means of security upon which people have been dependent for a long time. As people use it, it develops with the development of their economic and commercial dealings. Al-daman has, as such become an important means which plays

On 23rd December 2006 the United Nations Security Council unanimously decided to pass Resolution 1737 imposing what is known as 'smart saction' against Iran - a sanction that demands Iran to end all of its uranium enrichment activities; orders all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nu
