Muslim scholars across their various religious disciplines whether traditional or rational disciplines have drawn extensively on the revelation and as a result produced interesting fields of inquiry. Despite their extensive work however, the question of cognitive development however has not yet received adequate attention in contemporary Islamic sc

Radar-return echoes, known as ‘reflectivity’, are exploited in the course of estimating rain attenuation along a slant path. Relevant radar gates or ‘range bins’ are identified to correlate a specific satellite path. The reflectivity value of each range bin is converted to rainfall rate using established radar reflectivity values – rainfa

This paper is part of an ongoing study that aims to analyse the effectiveness of road humps as a traffic calming measure in improving the living environment. It contains a review of how different road hump installations affect traffic speed, noise and volume. The findings are that differences in hump height and spacing are factors in influencing th

Ductile regime end milling of soda lime glass needs consideration from commercial standpoints as well as in research and development. High speed machining is capable to obtain ductile mode at an increased material removal rate and at the same time tool wear rate can be optimized at higher value of cutting speed. This paper presents a simple and wor

Environmental setting in regeneration of Ipoh city mobility relates to how the public transport enhancements are undertaken. The history behind Ipoh city existence from mining-activities accessibility pattern creates a unique environment within the city.

Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) suffers low processing speed, due to complex and redundant computations. In this paper, a method to improve the speed of detection while maintaining the accuracy has been proposed.This is implemented without using any special purpose hardware such as GPU. The speed has been substantially increased through the

This paper investigates the stock market network among the stocks traded in Bursa Malaysia by using minimal spanning tree (MST) techniques. The daily closing prices from 2011 until 2013 of 100 companies based on market capitalization are chosen to construct the network. By constructing the stock market network, the most influential stocks in Malays

Channeled coolant plates have been playing an important role in the field of various heat transfer applications. Due to the “fin effect”, the overall heat transfer area increases and thus the amount of energy transfer enhances. In this study, effect of a specially designed coolant plate has been used to observe its effect on heat transfer durin

Educating children by using the right and appropriate way is one of the important thing that we should take care of. Traditional way of teaching is no longer useful or enough to deliver information to the students nowadays. That happens due to the new technologies coming up each day of our life. Enhancing education by using new technologies is one
