Present paper elaborates solution of partial differential equations (PDE) of two dimensional steady state heat conduction by using a bi quadratic triangular Galerkin’s finite element method (QGFEM). The steady state heat distribution is modeled by a two-dimensional Laplace partial differential equations. A six-node triangular element model is dev

Most of the used cooking oil from households and catering premises in Malaysia will eventually ends up in wastewaters. It will be discharged to the surface of waters because no alternative steps were taken to overcome the waste from used cooking oil. As a component of wastewater, oil is classified together with fats and waxes as grease. This trend

Traditional medicine (TM) is a system of health care that has ancient roots. It has been defined as practices designed to promote mental, physical and spiritual well-being of mankind. Usually (TM) are made from various types of medicinal plants. Sometimes they contain other ingredients such as animal parts and minerals however, the primary source o

Moving Picture Coding Exports Group (MPEG) refers to a whole family of international standards for compression of audio-visual digital data. The most well known are MPEG series which are also formally known as ISO/IEC-13818 and ISO/IEC-14496 [ISO/IEC,2007]. The most important aspects are summarized as follows: The MPEG- I standard was published 199

Calophyllum is a pan-tropical genus belongs to the Guttiferae family and locally known in Malaysia as ‘bintangor’. There has been a continual interest to further investigate the phytochemistry of Calophyllum sp since this genus is a rich source of active secondary metabolites which showed anti-HIV, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial properties. Thi

The practice of distributing a deceased’s assets based on the literal application of the Faraid calculations is often linked to the dire problem of land fragmentation and low rural land values prevalent in Malaysia today. The overall result is uneconomic land sizes and farm operations, conversion of agricultural land to other uses (and hence, the

Monitoring and based tracking systems use a variety of technologies to record and monitor the activities of humans. This can increase the risks to the privacy and security of individuals. The amount of information gathered about individuals is growing through the proliferation of surveillance cameras, sensors; microchips and Radio Frequency Identif

Teachers in Brunei Darussalam generally use recommended textbooks and books supplied by the Ministry of Education in order to teach their students. Many of them only rely on those books while there are others who would look at other books or surf the internet in order to get ideas on how best to teach a mathematics topic. Some would follow the reco

Existing practice of glucose-level monitoring for diabetic patients involves frequent finger pricking for blood samples. This is not only constantly painful, but could make patients susceptible to infections. A non-invasive, portable, graphene-based biosensor is being developed to measure glucose levels in saliva instead of in blood, by incorporati

Radiowave propagation plays a very important part in the design and eventually dictates performance of space communication systems. The requirements of today’s satellite communication have grown extensively where higher capacity communications systems are needed. The escalating demands for microwave and millimetre wave communications are causing
