This paper examines the criteria and attributes for assessing fire risks in building. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Method (AHP) a survey questionnaire was developed based on the identified criteria and attributes of fire risks for heritage buildings in Malaysia. The survey questionnaire was administered to consultant, Fire Rescue Department (FRDM

Marriage brings no effect to the spouse’s right to acquire property. However, any property acquired during the marriage is recognized as a matrimonial property if it is evidenced that the other spouse has contributed directly or indirectly in its acquisition. On that basis, once the marriage breaks up, the parties start to distinguish the ownersh

Biodegradable composites were prepared by melt-blending technique using 30 wt% kenaf bast fiber (KBF) to reinforce 70 wt% plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The KBF was treated with various percentages of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), whereas 5% triacetin was used as plasticizer. The effects of the KBF surface treatments on the tensile, flexural, impa

In the case of flow from the nozzle, the net thrust is the vital and critical consideration. The net thrust force is the difference of the thrust developed by the jet from the nozzle and the base drag. The pressure in the base area of a duct with the sudden expansion usually is lower than the ambient atmospheric pressure, which is responsible for c

This paper provides experimental results for a relay-assisted visible light communications (VLC) link using a white light-emitting diode (LED) for a last-meter access network. We demonstrate that a relay-based VLC scheme improves the system performance, especially for link spans longer than 5 meters, in the presence of blocking and shadowing by red

This study is a conceptual discussion that explores the literature concerning the purchase intention of the gold dinar in Malaysia. Although some research has been done on gold dinar acceptance in the past, a thorough marketing research perspective has been missing in this niche. Yet the gold dinar market is quite dynamic with many public and priva

In many Muslim majority countries, the Muslims circumvent interfaith dialogue and simply expect the rest to conform to Muslim’ requirements and demands quietly. On the contrary, in Muslim minority countries, Muslims’ are scrambling to promote interfaith dialogue as means to find common ground, sympathy and understanding from people of faith. We

In this paper, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis and experiments have been carried out to study the effect of nozzle pressure ratio, i.e. the ratio of inlet pressure to atmospheric pressure, and the pitch circle diameter of the control jets to regulate the base pressure. The variables considered for the analysis as well as the experiments

This paper is focus to criticize Marshall's supply and demand theory. Marshall’s theory was indentified by strengthness and weakness, so be looked up solution to make a perfect theory. The result of analysis describe that Marshall's theory is a basic of most theory in study of economics. Many theory, like a monetary theory, fiscal theory,

INTRODUCTION: The body mass index (BMI) of children is currently increasing in trends either globally or locally. In Malaysia, the number of children approaching unhealthy BMI is alarming. Despite the frequently conducted studies on children’s BMI and factors such as diet and physical inactivity, limited studies were done focusing on birth relate
