This paper aims at providing the readers a general picture of the Shi’a movement in Malaysia. A general picture in the sense that it restrains itself from the theological aspects of the movement; the paper is not interested in whether the movement is deviant or not. Following some raids on several adherents of Shi’ism by the Religious Departmen

The main function of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) is to produce skilled and knowledgeable workforce who are able to not only function with minimal guidance but also to contribute effectively to the hiring organizations. Many studies have indicated that most HEIs have somewhat similar course content and thrived at producing students with g

Abstract: A phenomenon that prevails in university classrooms, particularly among the undergraduates, is their silent and reticent behaviors during classroom hours. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that such behaviors can be ascribed to what we have labeled as “classroom participation anxiety”, a type of situation anxiety not un

The process of making Kuala Lumpur waterfront as a public place has taken a long toil. Since the year 1984, the waterfront has been acknowledged to be developed as a public space. More than 25 years had passed since then and it has not been well developed as a public space until today. What has gone wrong? The research aims to find the key reason w

We report on the first demonstration of a two way Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol with decoy state. The experiment was conducted over free space medium and exhibits a significant increase in the maximum secure distance of a two way QKD protocol specifically the LM05 protocol.Implementation of two way Quantum Key Distribution protocol with d

We report a free space based experimental demonstration of a two way Quantum Key Distribution protocol withweak+vacuum decoy state. By utilizing a different key rate formula a better maximum secure distance closer to the theoretical infinite was achieved.Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Cryptology & Computer Security 2012 (Cry

An apparatus for flipping the polarization state of an optical pulse between a transmitter and a receiver in a quantum key distribution system comprising: a passive non flipping component that preserves the polarization state of said optical pulse; a passive flipping component that rotates the polarization state of said optical pulse orthogonally;

Cellulase enzymes is expensive in the market due to the high cost of pure cellulose was used as substrate fermentation in its production. It is an important enzyme in many industries such as food, textile, fuel and pharmaceutical. In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) was used as substrate for the production of cellulose by strain RUT C

In Islam, marriage is expected to last until one of the spouses dies. However, if the spouses cannot live together in peace and harmony any more in the marital relationship, then its continuance is no longer considered desirable. Divorce is permitted as a matter of necessity for the avoidance of greater evil, which may result from the continuance o

We report an implementation of a two-way, four-state quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol (namely, the LM05 protocol) over a free space medium. A stable quantum bit error rate of 3.34% and maximum tolerable channel loss for secure key generation of 5.68 dB in the absence of a photon number splitting attack were recorded. The result strongly indi
