The manufacturing of furniture using rattan is becoming common nowadays, and creates high amount of waste that can be value-added into binderless particleboards (BPB). In order to determine the suitability of the rattan waste for production of BPB, characterization of rattan waste is executed and reported in this paper. The physical properties such

The combined effect of moisture and temperature on the bending behaviour of simply supported cross ply composite laminated shells has been investigated. A 13 term accurate higher order shear deformation theory with zigzag function is used in this analysis in which the effects of transverse shear deformation are taken into account. The results are p

The evolution of resistant microorganism towards available antibiotics has gain interest among scientists to search for more effective antimicrobial compounds. Plant is believe to have antimicrobial properties as the extract is used in food industry, pharmaceuticals and alternative medicine. The aims of this study are to isolate secondary metabolit

Rapid prototyping (RP) is one of the advanced technologies which contribute a lot of benefits in manufacturing product. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the RP technologies that have been widely used for fabricating three dimensional products. There has been a lot of improvement and research has been done in terms of hardware and software

In this paper five scheduling algorithms were investigated and their performance was evaluated in terms of Fairness Index, Peak Throughput, Average Throughput and Edge Cell User Throughput. A system level MATLAB simulator was used. The simulation takes into account different types of traffic for several mobility scenarios and propagation channel mo

Kerajaan Malaysia dalam usaha memantapkan pentadbiran jabatan kerajaan dengan meningkatkan mutu perkhidmatan kepada para pengguna. Antaranya termasuklah pelaksanaan urus niaga secara elektronik. Hal ini dapat dibuktikan melalui kertas cadangan yang telah dikemukakan oleh Jabatan Pengarah Tanah dan Galian, Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar. S

A multiwavelength generation in a random distributed feedback fiber laser based on hybrid Raman and erbium gain and a Lyot all-fiber spectral filter is demonstrated for the first time. The use of erbium-doped fiber allows a multi-wavelength generation to be achieved at lower pump powers in comparison with random fiber lasers based on Raman gain onl

This study was carried out to evaluate the long-term effect on the donor side of the foot and ankle following vascularized fibular graft resection in children. Eight patients underwent resection of the fibula for the purpose of a vascularized fibular graft by a surgical team who practiced leaving at least 6 cm residual distal fibula. The age of the

Concurrent use of methamphetamine and morphine could give a synergistic effect, where it produce greater rewarding effects, and antagonize the side effects of each other, causing it to have a greater potential to be abused. This poly-drug abuse may lead to behavioral sensitization shown by stereotype behavior. The aim of this study is to compare th

It is undeniable that every civilization has a symbol that makes it distinct from other civilizations. It is also undeniable that many civilizations have passed and their symbols disappeared but the Islamic civilization and its symbol are endurable. The symbol of Islamic civilization is the mosque. It is one of the oldest institutions that continue
