Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite (AMC) exhibits promising properties enhancement in the field of metal matrix composite. Improved properties of reinforced SiCp-AMC can be determined by varying the nature of reinforcement and their volume fraction. AMCs with multiple-particle size (MPS) of SiC were prepared using 20 w

This study investigated the relationship between learning styles and learning strategies of Malaysian students studying English through Content-based Instruction (i.e. English for Academic Purposes and English for Occupational Purposes) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Learning styles and learning strategies of language lear

The title compound, C22H20N2O4·2CHCl3, a new Schiff base compound, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Intermolecular bifurcated C-HO hydrogen bonds involving the two O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and the H atom of the chloroform solv

A robotic vision system has been designed and analyzed for real time tracking of maneuvering objects. Passive detection using live TV images provides the tracking signals derived from the video data. The calibration and orientation of two cameras is done by a bundle adjustment technique. The target location algorithm determines the centroid coordin

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are interesting materials which are being researched intensively in the past few years. Application of CNTs in water treatment with their unique properties has attracted the attention of many scientists and engineers. Moreover, manipulation of CNTs with other polymers has been done for different applications. This study desc

waste is as old as man and its culture management change with time according to complexity of its formation. the contemporary increase population, industrial development and various anthropogenic activities necessiatate the need for an integrated Waste Management System (IWMS. This study reviews the technological requirement of waste management by

The recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT)have tremendously affected the way teaching and learning (T&L) is delivered in both formal and informal education. For formal education, Malaysia is reaping the benefits of ICT through Smart School project under MSC Malaysia initiatives. For informal education, an initial obse

The phenomenon of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), Building Related Illness (BRI) and some other indoor related diseases have been attributed to mould and fungi exposure in the indoor environment. Despite the growing concern over mould and fungi infestations on building materials, little has been reported in the literature on the development of an obj

The effect of temperature cycling on the surface features of sulfathiazole crystals was investigated using focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) and ex situ optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic forced microscopy (AFM). Smoothing of the crystal surface was observed during heating, while during cooling the smooth c

—The paper describes the model of a two flexible joint manipulator and the development of a nonlinear passivity based control method for that model. For dynamic modeling, the Euler-Language approach is selected to model flexible joint manipulator. Since lightweight materials are employed in the construction of manipulator, the assumption that neg
