This paper discusses the contemporary academic debates in the fields of social vulnerability, social capital and adaptation, and hazard management with a focus on flood risk management in squatter settlements in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These are some of the key issues for the city of Kuala Lumpur as the management of urban environment in Malaysia m

We developed hydroxyapatite (HA) granules made from local raw materials (GranuMaS™), which have been fabricated using a novel method (Patent (Pending) No. PI 2004 0748). GranuMaS™ have been fully characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and inductively

Introduction: We developed hydroxyapatite (HA) granules made from local raw materials (GranuMaS™), which have been fabricated using a novel method (Patent (Pending) No. PI 2004 0748). GranuMaS™ have been fully characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy a

This article provides a convenient framework for a quantitative evaluation of the transient entropy squeezing generated when a single-Cooper-pair box irradiated by a classical field taking into account a phase-damped cavity. It explores how the entropy squeezing factors influenced by phase-damped cavity. The numerical results reveal an interesting

A self-calibrating automated characterization system for depressed cladding applications is demonstrated utilizing the Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software and General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) interface. The automation system consists of a tunable laser source (TLS), optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), attenuator,

This book shows that in balaghah, or the science of rhetoric, there are theories and principles which could help a reader of the Qur'an achieve a better understanding of its message because they specify certain things to look for in a text and provide procedures for making sense of why they are there. It recognizes that sometimes, for the sake

Background In developing countries such as Malaysia, the primary mode for revascularization is via thrombolytic therapy. This is only effective when instituted within a small time window and pre-hospital delay is a major concern. In a region where the mean house-to-door times can be as long as 8.5 hours, there is an urgent need to reduce the door-t

The present invention generally relates to a system to translate a language automatically wherein a hardware such as a computer is used in the system . The system comprises of sentence level and a phrase look up matching technique and wherein the present invention searchers a translation memory to find out whetehr there are closely matched examples
