Malaysia, a multiethnic and multi-religious society in Southeast Asia, has a population of 27.7 million comprising three major ethnicities, consisting of 67% Malays/Bumiputras, 24.7% Chinese, and 7.4% Indians along with many smaller minority groups. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia declares Islam as the official religion, but guarantees religio

The present investigation is an effort to develop an environmentally sound and cost effective fermentation process by introducing a new potential strain of Aspergillus niger which was isolated locally for the production of phenolics from palm oil mill effluent (POME). The selection of the potential fungal strain was done previously by screening sev

The focus of this paper is of the working system of government based on the theory of separation of powers. The theory in its original idea is hardly implemented in the world today. Necessary modifications and adjustments ought to be made to suit the adopting countries. As a result of the theory, there exists two dominat world governmental systems,

Continuous improvement in quality of products/services, more often than not, requires implementation of new ideas in the systems. Consequently, generation of good ideas is regarded as a crucial task in quality management. This paper shows how a traditional brainstorming technique can be integrated with the analytic hierarchy process in generating a

The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of and association between measures of spiritual and psychological health in a sample of 358 undergraduate students of International Islamic University Malaysia (Mean age = 22.25 years, SD = 1.87). All the study variables correlated signifi cantly positive with each other. Significant gender dif

Introduction : The philosophy of higher education is about the empowerment of human beings so as to fully realise their potentials as rational beings. The reason is because the contributions which these individuals can give towards the development of the society are invaluable for the stability and progress of a country. The reason is simply becaus

Porous hydroxyapatite samples were prepared via polymeric sponge method using commercial hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. The effects of sintering rate, stirring time and HA concentration on porosity, compressive strength and crystallinity of the porous bodies were evaluated. The study found that a faster sintering rate resulted in higher apparent densi

Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics doped with manganese (Mn-doped BCP) were prepared by using chemical doping via sol–gel technique. Four different concentrations of manganese (2, 5, 10, and 15 mol%) have been successfully incorporated into biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) phases. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the phases present in th

The work aims to study the root mean square (RMS) responses to acceleration input for four state variables: the m_{s} vertical acceleration, the m_{s} pitch angular acceleration and the front and rear deflections of the suspensions. A half-car two degree-of-freedom model of semi-active control scheme is analyzed and compared with the conventional p
