Experimental results of passive drag reduction are presented for the case of a two-dimensional cylinder. Measurements of the wake velocity profile of the cylinder were performed using a pitot-static tube. Tabs were mounted on the cylinder. Tab spacing, size and tab angle were varied. Twodimensional drag was computed using the measured velocities an

The mathematical model of a winged hybrid airship is developed for the analysis of its dynamic stability characteristics. A full set of nonlinear equations of motion of the hybrid airship is determined and adequate assumptions are made in order to apply any relevant computation and estimation methods. The design of the hybrid airship is slightly mo

It is a challenge that the dissecting room still has a place in teaching gross anatomy. Understanding the students’ perceptions and experiences of learning anatomy is important to get sound knowledge of the human body. This study was conducted to assess which teaching aid would facilitate students’ understanding of the human body in order to ge

The concept of coastal management which is regarded as an effective management tool has been widely used globally for more than 40 years. It works across sectoral, disciplinary and institutional boundaries to manage coastal resources. In many coastal nations, it is highly regarded as an essential approach in formulating coastal strategies and objec

Agile methods are an established process for developing software nowadays. There is, however, less evidence on their usage among software practitioners in Malaysia. While the methods have become mainstream in other regions, that is not the case in this country. This paper empirically investigates the perceptions of Agile methods usage from seven or

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the establishment of a GIS-based technology as a reliable delivery system in predicting the development impact assessment (DIA) due to proposed development. The paper highlights about the ability of the system that could anticipate the environmental quality due to any development within certain ge

Recent movement in GIS technology advancement has great influence to the environmental and urban planning around the globe. This papers aims to discuss the establishment of a GIS-based technology as a planning tool in assisting local planning authority. The approach applied was extensively relied on baseline data, models, spatial and statistical an

Seismic electric signal (SES) is one of features for predicting earthquakes (EQs) because of its significant changes in the amplitude of the signal prior to the earthquake. This paper presents detailed analysis of SES recorded prior to earthquake that occurred in Greece in the period from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008. During this period of time

Managing natural resources sustainably is essential in this contemporary era of town planning system. This includes managing and planning the invaluable of coastal areas. In this regards, coastal management programmes have been acknowledged as a primary approach in delivering the coastal strategies and objectives towards achieving a sustainable coa

Introduction: The information and incidence of arterial variations have been implicated in different clinical situations. In Malaysia no study on the variants has been done in vivo. Methodology: 400 subjects (staff and students of IIUM) were examined with Logiq P5 General Electric Ultrasound machine using 12L- RS linear probe. Data analysis was car
