Few ideas in the history of philosophy in Islam have been so much debated, attacked, and defended as has the thesis that a necessary connection exists between cause and effect, that cause and effect are so inextricably linked that the existence of one necessitates and implies that of the other, and that if the cause has occurred, the effect cannot

Regional maps and equations for the magnitude and frequency of 1, 7 and 30-day low flows were derived and are presented in this paper. The river gauging stations of neighbouring catchments that produced similar low flow frequency curves were grouped together. As such, the Peninsular Malaysia was divided into seven low flow regions. Regional equatio

It is very important for the hydrologists, water resources engineers and relevant authorities to use the local data and be as accurate as possible in calculating the probable maximum flood (PMF) which, in turn, is strongly related to the extreme rainfall amount commonly known as probable maximum precipitation (PMP). The main objective of designing

The effect of water vapor on high temperature oxidation was studied based on Wagner’s theory of binary alloy oxidation. The oxidation of Fe-Cr alloys was carried out at 1073K in dry and humid conditions. The oxidation was conducted in a closed apparatus at 1073K and the oxygen partial pressure of 1:1 � 10�14 Pa, which was fixed by a Fe/FeO bu

A finite element model is proposed to determine the residual print of sandwich structures with Nomex honeycomb core and metallic skins indented by a spherical indenter and to simulate its behavior when this indented structure is subjected to lateral compressive loading (known as CAI/ Compression after impact). The particularities of this model rely

the microstructural features of the weld section which are controlled by the energy input and heat transfer factors. The welding current, travel speed and the material property govern these parameters. However, the specific influence of range of heat input rates on the microstructural features of FSS weld is hardly reported. This paper reports the

An efficient, effective and sustainable water services are very crucial for human survival. The Malaysian government has recently restructured its legal and institutional framework of water supply services after realizing that the existing regulatory structure did not work effectively for the water industry. The restructuring process has necessaril

A Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducer (cMUT) is presented. It is a new type of transducer that can be used to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals in medical scanners and a variety of other applications. The behavior of cMUT is investigated based on a proposed model of an equivalent circuit by which the characteristics are predicted.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are interesting materials which are being researched intensively in the past few year. 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 descr
