As Malaysia is becoming a high-income nation, one of the strategies is to increase the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It was recorded that in 2016, the direct sales industry contributed RM17 billion to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), more than double compared to RM8.03 billion in the year 2006. Halal industry has created mo

In this paper, a novel approach in assessing the structural integrity of cracked composite plates under the aeroelastic condition by using XFEM is presented. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that aeroelastic condition is coupled in XFEM to model the crack propagations. Previous researches from the literature had only considered a

Background: The consequences of adolescents in early involvement with sexual activity include sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, and unsafe abortion. Objectives: To identify the socio-demographic and sociocognitive factors (permissive attitude, social norms, and selfefficacy) associated with sexual intention to engage in premarital

The sensitive and selective chemosensor for copper(II) ions (Cu2+) was successfully optimized using the 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone (DPT) compound. The result showed that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in a 9:1 (DMSO:water) ratio at a pH of 3 was the optimum medium for DPT to act as chemosensor of Cu2+ recognition. The DPT chemosensor did not encounter an

A communication method is proposed using Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) precoding and Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) technique for millimetre-wave multiple-input multiple-output (mm-Wave MIMO) based wireless communication system. Background: The mm-Wave MIMO technology for wireless communication system is the base potential technology

Quercetin is known as a bioflavonoid compound that has been successfully optimized to be a chemo- sensor probe for Fe3þ recognition. The sensitivity of quercetin towards Fe3þ increased in DMSO:deionized water with a 9:1 ratio at pH 4. There was also no significant interference from other metal ions, such as Kþ, Cr3þ, Agþ, Cd2þ, Mg2þ, Pb2þ,

Sentence variety is a fundamental aspect in writing to avoid stereotypes, thus making writing more interesting. However, ESL students are often found not using the different sentence structures in writing. Students seem to learn one basic pattern and stick to it. The reason could be due to lack of knowledge and practice to write a variety of senten
