The aerodynamic drag on trucks can be reduced by use of active and passive techniques. In this work a passive method of using a cab-extender that is attached to the rear of the tractor is attempted. This cab-extender will help in reducing the drag force that act on the truck by minimizing the gap between the tractor and trailer. In this study, a tr

This product revisits four dimensions of learning domains and 21st century skills .It delivers awareness on the extension of parental partnership with teachers and communities. Examples of education system from Korea, China, Finland and Japan are discussed. Teacher Professional development is addressed with a recommendation for future training mode

A combined experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) investigation was performed to study the effect of incorporating poly(propylene carbonate)(PPC) and curcumin on the mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In addition, the chemical interaction and morphological changes brought upon by each subsequent additive were also observed. T

Loneliness and cognitive impairment are common among older people. However, the study on the association between cognitive impairment and loneliness among older people in longterm care in Malaysia is limited. This study aimed to explore the association between sociodemographic, cognitive impairment and loneliness among older people in long-term car

Since the emergence of the “halal” industry, it has influenced the pre-existing industrial structure by inducing global corporations and foreign governments to chase the regulation of “halal” certificate. In accordance with the fundamental notion of the “halal” industry, Majority of works related to “halal” industry must retain “h

Carrying out Critical Success Factors (CSFs) analysis is necessary to ensure an organisation or product can be properly developed, sustained, and managed. This paper examines the CSFs of implementing Shari’ah-compliant SIBs (SC SIB) in Malaysia. In doing so, 22 SC SIB CSFs were identified from literature review, consultation with experts, and fee

Modern day fighter aircrafts are mostly canard configured because of its advantages over conventional configuration. The primary objective of this work is to investigate the low speed aerodynamic and stability characteristics of a canard configured aircraft. Using CFD -ANSYS Fluent package, numerical flow simulations were carried out for a typical

In this paper, shape control of composite plates using piezoelectric actuators is being investigated. The goal of this study was to see how composite plates behave when they are integrated with piezoelectric actuators. Modelling and simulation were done using COMSOL Multiphysics software and results were validated using previously published studies

The issue of dignity at any age and the basic rights of aging person are guaranteed in the Federal Constitution. In fact, priority seats and services are also given to those who have reached the age of sixty years and above. Aging is associated with less capable in economy and physical; as a result, there have been reports that our old people are b

PURPOSE: To evaluate the susceptibility of microorganism causing early infection in open fractures to current antibiotic prophylaxis and determine contributing factors towards development of resistance. METHODS: A total of 110 cases of open fractures were selected in this study. They underwent routine debridement and C&S were followed up. Risk
