Biotechnology has been internationally acknowledged as the scientific and technological revolution of the 21stcentury. As far as Malaysia is concerned, biotechnology is set to be a major contributor to its economic growth. Although it is still in its infancy stage, its potential is enormous. With the nation’s rich biodiversity, cost-competitive l

Internationalization is a potential sustainable Muslim resource for human capital development. The word “internationalizaton” impresses everyone irrespective of one’s personal or institution’s efforts to align with the idealized internationalization or a few defined by referent organizations. The paper aims to (a) trace the origin of the wo

There is the need for an evaluation instrument that can examine work-family conflict in Malaysia. Thus, this research aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the hypothesized measurement model of work-family conflict (WFC) scale in Malaysia. The aim of the current study was to test the psychometric properties of the work-family conflict 10-i

Electromagnetic Actuated Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system offers an opportunity to meet the challenge due to its improving automotive drivability and better fuel economy and dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The pushing and pulling the sheaves of the pulleys are conducted in this study in order to maintain the desired t

The current research study aims to construct-validate the measurement scale of work-family conflict Self-efficacy of Malaysian married female teachers’. The study attempted to see if the same one-factor structure, which characterized teacher work-family conflict efficacy (WFCE), existed among Malaysian teachers. The sample was selected among 245

The success of model-based ight control law design for autonomous helicopter is largely dependent on the availability of reliable model of the system. Considering the complexity of the helicopter dynamics, and inherent di�culty involves with physical measurement of the system parameters, the grey modeling approach which involves the development o

The control of broadband steady state vibration amplitude of a multi-mode system is presented. This objective is achieved using an Active Dynamic Vibration Absorber (ADVA). The stiffness property of the ADVA is adaptively tuned to attenuate the vibration of the multi-mode system at resonance. The ADVA detects the excitation frequency of the multi-m

Optimization appears in many aspects of engineering problems. There are quite numbers of modern optimization algorithms proposed in the last two decades to solve optimization problems. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE) are among the well-known modern optimization algorithms. This paper presents a comparative study fo

This study shows the effect of using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent on composite of RPP/MCC fiber. The compositions of MCC were varied from 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12 wt%. The compounded samples were prepared into test specimens by using injection moulding. The RPP/MCC composites with a

Syzygium polyanthum Wight (walp.) var. Polyanthum leaves are commonly consumed by Malays as fresh salad and flavour enhancer in culinary. Besides, concoction from S. polyanthum leaves is traditionally consumed as a treatment of hypertension. Study has revealed the significant hypotensive effects of the aqueous extracts of S. polyanthum leaves (AESP
