Preparation of Polypropylene ternary nanocomposites was accomplished by blending multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in polypropylene/clay binary system using melt intercalation method. The effects of MWCNT loadings (A), melting temperature (B) and mixing speed (C) were investigated and optimized using center composite design. The analysis of the fit

This research was made to synthesis polylactic acid (PLA) from kenaf biomass that is currently waste of kenaf fibre production. This project is carried out to aim in reducing the manufacturing cost of PLA, reducing market price of PLA and to sustain the green technology. Basically, the pre treatment process was done previously on kenaf biomass with

This paper presents a proposal on how the Muslim Experts made up of Academics, Professionals and Entrepreneurs can be made optimally mobile to utilize their Allah endowed resources to serve the Ummah and mankind more efficiently and effectively as well as being key players in a world which has become a “Global Village”. Some case studies are pr

Critics of contemporary Islamic finance often highlight the absence of meaningful presence of equity-based financing instruments such as mudarabah. It has been argued that this is attributable to inter alia, the agency problems inherent in mudarabah financing. Within a risk and return framework, mudarabah financing presents an uninviting commercial

This study aims to document undergraduate students’ patterns of participation in Malaysian classrooms. Interviews and observation were carried out. Around 85 students from two communication classes were observed over the period of two semesters (28 weeks). Most of the participants fell between the age of 18-19 years old (65.8%) and 66.7% of the p

Hepatitis C is a global disease, WHO has described it as a “viral time bomb”. In Malaysia, the sero-prevalence is 1.6%. HCV infection is frequent in patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis, with prevalence between 8 and 10%. Hepatitis C has an adverse effect on both patient and graft survival in those who get renal transplants. There are

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality especially to children and compromised hosts, such as the old and those with underlying chronic diseases. Knowledge of pathogens causing CAP constitutes the basis for selection of antimicrobial treatment. Previous data have shown that etiological agents can be iden

Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is the most common phenotype of gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Dilated intercellular spaces (DIS) in prickle cell layers are considered as early signs of acid damage to the esophageal epithelium. Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore DIS in both superficial and prickle cell layer of the e

This paper describes the development of Final Year Project (FYP) Online System in order to support the implementation of Outcome Based Education (OBE). OBE has become a model for learning environment and curriculum design for the educational system. OBE sets obvious educational goals and helps the student to achieve those goals. The proposed system
