Controlling the land use sprawl and managing the rapid urban growth process has become key issues for local government agencies in many developing countries including Malaysia. This paper intended to review and examined the core problems of land use sprawl control with local planning policies and the agencies that involve in implementing these proc

The sintering behaviour of Magnesium-doped nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (MgHA) synthesized by mechanochemical method was investigated over the temperature range of 1000 °C to 1300 °C. The properties were investigated in terms of phase stability, bulk density and Vickers hardness. In the present research, a dry mechanochemical synthesis was succ

A consensus problem of multi-agent systems has been considered a dual problem to Markov chains. Historically, an idea of reaching consensus through linear repeated averaging was introduced by DeGroot (see [1]) for a structured time-invariant and synchronous environment. Since that time, the consensus which is the most ubiquitous phenomenon of multi

Historically, an idea of reaching consensus through repeated averaging was introduced by DeGroot (see [1, 3]) for a structured time-invariant and synchronous environment. Since that time, the consensus which is the most ubiquitous phenomenon of multi-agent systems becomes popular in various scientific communities, such as biology, physics, control

A double stochastic operator is a generalization of a double stochastic matrix. In this paper, we study the dynamics of double stochastic operators. We give a criterion for a regularity of a double stochastic operator in terms of absences of its periodic points. We provide some examples to insure that, in general, a trajectory of a double stochasti

The First Degree and Post-Graduate IIUM Tracer Study 2015 Report is the sixteenth Tracer Study project conducted by the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) under the purview of the Alumni and Global Network Division (AGND). This project is a substantial initiative and effort by AGND that receives a strong support from the University to

Purpose – This paper aims to develop and combined an understanding of the antecedents of knowledge sharing behavior among the non-academic staff of different higher learning institutions in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – The researchers tested the hypotheses from the survey data from the non-academic staff of different private and publ

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between consumption values (CV), destination cues (DC), nostalgia and attitude in the selection of destination for educational tourism, and the mediating effect of destination image (DI). Design/methodology/approach – The research applied descriptive statistics, confirmatory

The synchronous inverter is an electrical inverter device which is synchronizing inverter phase into the microgrid phase at the same amplitude and frequency. A three phase phase synchronous inverter (PSI) is basically used in the high efficiency power supply systems. The inverter phase is depend on the controllers which are two level pulse width mo

The inverter is a power electronics device which changes DC voltage to AC voltage or vice versa. The synchronous phase inverter is used in the microgrid system to connect the renewable energy sources of minimum phase error. For a high-efficiency power transmission and distribution system, a three-phase inverter is used. The electronic switches of t
