Husserlian phenomenology and its terminology are utilised to justify the sociology of Islam and its essentialist response through the course of transcultural exchanges and sedimentation with the irreconcilable weltanshauung of the West. At the same time, the issue of structure and reliable knowledge is considered through the difficult relationship

This paper examines the urban land use conflict cases which have generated several environmental problems in a small area of Jelutong in Georgetown, Malaysia.

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an experimental study of the performance and conversion efficiencies of ceramic monolith three-way catalytic converters (TWCC) employed in automotive exhaust lines for the reduction of gasoline emissions. Two ceramic converters of different cell density, substrate length, hydraulic channel diam

This paper investigates the results of experimental studies conducted in an evaporative condenser with induced draft and in a spray filled forced draft cooling tower. The pressure drop and drift loss characteristics of cement-asbestos drift eliminators, concrete drift eliminators, wooden drift eliminators and cellular type drift eliminators were ex

Computer is a part and parcel of our daily life. It is being widely used at homes, offices, schools and industries. It is now an important issue to save user program and data as well as hardware and software of the personal computer (PC) itself from damage and corruption due to sudden power failure. This paper presents the solution of the problem.

The exhaust system consists of the exhaust manifold, the header, the catalytic converter, the muffler, and the tailpipe. Certain flow characteristics must be met for the optimal performance of the exhaust system. The main objective of this paper is to design exhaust system (particularly the exhaust manifold) using GT-Power software and to compare i
