A Genetic Algorithm (GA) that is going to be a part of a system for obtaining optimum sensor measurements for a specific process. Most parts in the design accomplished using Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL), then simulated and verified using Design Architect (DA) and ModelSim CAD tools. This paper consists of

Dalam makalah ini dibincangkan analisis perbandingan keputusan multi-atribut yang diperoleh hasil daripada pendekatan penilaian menggunakan teori set ketara, set kabur, set kabur berintuisi dan set dwikabur konflik. Perbincangan tertumpu kepada analisis yang melibatkan penilaian secara dedua dalam teori set biasa, penilaian secara [0,1] dalam set k

A new architecture to realize a modular, high speed, reconfigurable, digital Rank Order Filter (ROF) is presented in this paper. A bit-level algorithm by Kar and Pradhan has been modified in this work to implement the proposed ROF. Using the proposed digital rank selection circuit it is possible to find the element of a certain rank in a given sequ

The present study investigates for the first time the efficiency of Malaysian banking sector around the Asian financial crisis 1997. The efficiency estimates of individual banks are evaluated by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. To examine the robustness of the estimated efficiency scores under various alternatives and to differen

Belief in God’s message and messengers is a basic article of Islamic faith. Though it is sent to all humankind, revelation is not communicable directly from God to everyone at all times. The channel through which revelation became known to humankind is prophethood. Both revelation and prophethood are thus intertwined; the explanation of one will

Being one of the developing countries in Asia, squatters and housing are among the main subject of government focus in each development programmme in Malaysia. This article focuses on the issue of squatters and housing and seeks to present on how the Malaysian government has work towards providing a quality life and affordable housing to its citize

Ḥijāb, an Islamic ethico-religious and socio-cultural symbol, is increasingly becoming visible in the Western public arena giving rise to a debate over its compatibility with dominant Western culture and values. Placing it in an argumentative genre, the paper highlights the sociological, religious and cultural rationales for the increasing visib

Strata living contribute in many ways to new features in urban development. In built environment theory housing developers are expected to provide conducive environments to promote a better life for residents. One of the encouraging environments is proper management of strata building. Consequently developers who develop strata buildings are expect

Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics doped with manganese (Mn-doped BCP) were prepared by using chemical doping via sol–gel technique. Four different concentrations of manganese (2, 5, 10, and 15 mol%) have been successfully incorporated into biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) phases. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the phases present in th

For years Malaysia has been practicing "sell-then-build" in the housing development and for years also the concept has contributed to various types of problems, mainly to house purchasers. The urge from several quarters especially the National Housebuyers Association, has be part of the cause for the government to initiate few steps in impl
