Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was seen as an influential leader when, for the second time in his political life, he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Malaysia at the age of 94 years old. Despite his age, he managed to garner strong support for his leadership when he took over the government following the country’s 14th general election (GE14) in M

Purpose: This qualitative study explores the issue of library management support in providing a self-directed learning environment for research-support librarians which is an under-explored feature of librarianship in Malaysian public university libraries. Design/methodology/approach: A total of nine research-support librarians purposely selected f

Piezoelectric (PZT) shunt damping is an effective method to dissipate energy from a vibrating structure; however, most of the applications focus on targeting specific modes for structures vibrating at low-frequency range, i.e. deterministic substructure (DS). To optimally attenuate structures vibrating at high-frequency range, i.e. non-deterministi

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, causing changes in various aspects of human life and their socio-economic activities. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on higher education. Almost all activities must be halted abruptly, forcing universities to change the way they deliver their activities, including teachin

In the last three decades, smart materials have become popular. The piezoelectric materials have shown key characteristics for engineering applications, such as in sensors and actuators for industrial use. Because of their excellent mechanical-to-electrical and vice versa energy conversion properties, piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectric

The contagious nature of coronavirus pandemic has forced many countries to instruct their employees to work from home (WFH), a quick measure to curb the infection, and in turn, flatten the curve of the virus spread. In education field, while some employees may perceive WFH as opportunities for better performance, it poses challenges to married fema

The paper deals with the role of private sector or non-governmental organisa-tion in providing welfare services to children without families through alternative care options. These children may include orphans as well as abandoned, abused and ne-glected children who basically have been deprived of parental care and family envi-ronment. According to

The present research focuses on dynamic flow control management using tiny jets with three combinations; the first one located at 90� intervals of the base, the second one located at 0.5D (duct diameter) of the wall, and the third one located at both base and wall with a 0.05 radius respectively which injects the air. Comparative analysis with th

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is becoming popular in the last two decades and it has been utilizing in enormous applications such as aerial monitoring, military purposes, rescue missions, etc. Hence, the present work focused on the design of the UAV wing considering the CH10 airfoil. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamic analysis on CH

This article focuses on the flow development and the static wall pressure distribution along the circular duct from the convergent-divergent (CD) nozzle. The study aims to examine the quality of the stream in the conduit when the control is employed. The microjets are activated at the base at (PCD) of 13 mm, and the diameter of the microjets is 1 m
