Integrity is like a mighty tree that stands out in the forest. Its roots are deep, supporting a tall and hardy trunk and its top is a crown of branches and green leaves. It blooms with large clusters of fruit in brilliant colours, ripe and ready to scatter its seeds. Birds and other animals find comfort perching on its secure branches. (Malaysian I

This study was conducted to screen the most suitable coating material for the production of microencapsulated fish oil powder using ternary blends of maltodextrin (15, 25% w/w), Arabic gum (2.5, 7.5% w/w), and methylcellulose (0.5, 1.5 % w/w). The physical properties of fish oil emulsion and encapsulated powders were evaluated. Arabic gum (5% w/w)

In the current research, kenaf represents an agricultural biomass that possesses enormous potential for industrial applications. Because of its complex structure, which is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, pretreatment process was conducted. Here, dilute acid pretreatment process was conducted, statistically using the response surfa

Earth-to-satellite signals suffer by Earth׳s atmosphere especially by precipitations. It is more severe in tropical climate. A reliable technique named as synthetic storm technique (SST) was proposed to predict the effects of rain on slant path. SST model uses rainfall-rate time series, velocity of wind in storm, effective length, altitude of site

Abstract This study aims to give some thoughts and initial understanding of passive wake vortex alleviation by introducing add-ons devices onto the aircraft, which are delta wing (DW) and reverse delta wing (RDW). However, as a preliminary investigation, the study has treated these devices separately from the aircraft in order to clearly visualize

For this decade, nanocomposite has received huge interest from over a thousand of researchers due to its outstanding properties in wide applications. Nanocomposite of sole shoes has become new development in sport shoes application while no interest from others has been reported. The purpose of this study is mainly to produce prototype and characte

A modification to an effective path length for predicting rain attenuation in Malaysia is proposed in this paper. Due to the scarcity of actual signal measurements at higlh frequencies-bands in tropical climates make predicted models are key resource for generating rain attenuation. A modification to calculate the effective path length is introduce

Numerous studies comparing native and non-native English teachers (Coskun, 2013; Diaz, 2015; Madrid & Canado, 2004; Walkinshaw & Duong, 2012) have found that ESL students prefer native teachers for teaching speaking skills and pronunciation. In other words, non-native teachers are viewed as less superior in matters related to spoken languag

Most of the existing rain attenuation prediction models were proposed based on measurements taken in temperate climates. These models are found not accurate in tropical regions and were thus modified in order for such models to be applied in tropical regions. Synthetic Storm Technique (SST) is one of the most reliable methods to estimate rain atten
