Over the past decades the field of education has witnessed the introduction of Internet, a new and revolutionary technology that seems to radically alter the way humans teach and learn. Offering thin client solution for Orang Asli provides opportunities for the team to undertake human-computer interaction related studies.Thin client is an effective

Information on waste generation, socioeconomic characteristics, and willingness of the households to separate waste was obtained from interviews with 402 respondents in Dhaka city. Ordinary least square regression was used to determine the dominant factors that might influence the waste generation of the households. The results showed that the wast

IT changes very quickly and influences business, industry and the public in an enormous manner. The issue of IT outsourcing (ITO) impact on IT workforce has been discussed widely in many developed countries so much so that the concerns have been tense in that more IT jobs will be transferred to developing countries which provide IT outsourcing serv

This study investigates the learning strategies of students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The study was mainly motivated by concerns about the standards of English of graduates of Malaysian universities. These concerns have also been expressed by the IIUM, one of the few universities in Malaysia using English as the mediu

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are primarily formed as a result of thermal treatment of food, especially grilling or barbecuing. In this study nine types of Malaysian popular grilled meat dishes were analyzed for toxic PAHs, i.e. fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and benzo(a)pyrene using HPLC-FD. The differences in PAH concentrations amon

IIUM E-meeting was first promulgated in 2004 to cater for the increasing needs of the university for an integrated scheduling and managing all meetings held by especially senate boards initially. Previously, all meetings were manually organised such as invitation to all relevant stakeholders, sharing of meeting documents, feedbacks and comments and

Biodiesel is currently produced from food and non food oil sources through transesterification. The process is significantly constrained by reaction kinetics and mass transfer. In the present article, the transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) at different reaction parameters is carried out to investigate the effect of reactor configuration

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was melt blended with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) in an internal mixer and thermal, mechanical and rheological properties of the blends were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, tensile test and small amplitude oscillatory shear rheometry. ESO lowered glass transition temp

Malaysia seafod exports to EU faced blanket ban in 2008. The European union is known to have the most stringent regulations with regard to food safety and standards. This has caused significant impact on fisheries industry in Malaysia because the EU is the principal export market for the Malaysian seafood products and the fisheries sector is the se

Various techniques for developing prediction models for various machining performance measures such as surface roughness/surface integrity, cutting force, tool life/tool wear etc in machining processes are available. These methods include, but are not limited to, analytical, numerical, empirical, and artificial intelligence (AI) based methods. Whil
