The paper discusses the dynamic response of the Penang (I) cable stayed bridge structure under various moving load representing typical traffic load of the bridge. The bridge has a total span of 440 m excluding the transition bridge that assumed to be not connected structurally to the main bridge structure. The bridge that links the fast growing Pi

This paper focuses on the operation of rainwater harvesting in Zoo Negara, Malaysia. It is to identify whether the system operates well or not. It also discusses about storm water management in Zoo Negara. The issues raised on the study are water management, scarcity of clean water supply, operational cost and water distribution into sewer system.

Bridges are essential great value infrastructure which provide services for a long period of time. Their age increases over the time so as the complexity of its operating and maintaining activities. The present study is considering cable stayed Penang (I) bridge in Malaysia which has 440 m spans long. Hence, the paper initially aims to propose loca

Objectives: In pharmaceutical industries, the properties of desired final crystal can be modified by seeding process. Seeding activities depend on seed loading, seed size, seed quality and the temperature of supersaturated solution at the time of seed addition. The effect of amount of seed and temperature of seeding on crystallisation and size dist

This study aimed to investigate the metastable zone width (MSZW) and the nucleation order of carbamazepine–saccharin (CBZ–SAC) co-crystals via slow cooling crystallisation, to obtain the kinetic value using Kashchiev–Borissova–Hammond–Roberts (KBHR) technique and to deduce the induction time, the radius of the critical nucleus and the int

Cutting fluid plays an important role in machining processes to achieve dimensional accuracy, reduce tool wear, and improve tool life. Use of flood cooling conventionally used in machining is not cost effective and consumption of huge amount of cutting fluids is not health and environmental friendly. Therefore, one of the alternatives is to use min

Information and communication technology (ICT) skills have become basic requirements to compete in the labour market. However, persons with disabilities (PWDs) face financial, social and environmental difficulties which form barriers to acquiring these skills. Thus, it contributes to the weakening of their competitiveness in the labour market. The

This study concerns on strategies and focuses on affordable housing for urban areas in Perak. The affordable housing development has become an absolute necessity of residents in Perak. The affordable housing assessment is to assist policy formulation, decision-making and resources allocation of the local authorities and state government. It was fou

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a gram-positive diplococci belonging to the genus Streptococcus and it is a well-studied pathogenic bacterium. Pneumococcal diseases such as otitis media, pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis caused by pathogenic strains of S. pneumoniae still brought significant mortality and morbidity rate wor

The Malaysian property market has been facing significant changes in terms of housing price since a decade ago and these changes are different between states.The changes in housing prices are being supported by the economic theories of demand and supply as well as the regional economic and demographic factors such as income level, housing supply st
