This study draws on the experience from a focus group interviews under the distance learning programme known as Program Pensiswazahan Guru (PPG) organized by the Malaysian Ministry of Education in collaboration with local universities and institutes of education. Its purpose is to uncover students’ perception about the platform used by Internatio

In this work the potential of piezoelectric actuators to induce twist on a composite helicopter rotor blade has been investigated using ANSYS. An analogical thin-walled box beam has been modeled to investigate the effects of different ply orientations, boundary conditions and applied loads on displacement and twist of the box beam. Results obtained

Augmented Reality (AR) enriches the education environment by adding spatially aligned virtual objects (3D models, 2D textures, textual annotations, etc.) by means of special display technologies .This research was a pilot test within a longer research project aimed at investigating and evaluating the relevance of realism elements in 3d AR education

Traffic jams are a huge issue in urban streets. Intersections are one of the critical parts of the street that causes high amount of congestion if not managed properly. Solutions where made that revolve around fixed set of operations that attempt to find optimum time for each traffic light in the intersection. Several solutions were proposed over t

More than 235 million patients undergo surgery every year worldwide, but less than 1% are enrolled in surgical clinical trials—few of which are international collaborations. Several levels of action are needed to improve this situation. International research collaborations in surgery between developed and developing countries could encourage cap

Creating secure password has been limited attributable to password restriction and policy. Users tend to choose memorable passwords that are easy to guess. However, sophisticated systems assigned passwords that are difficult to remember. In this paper, the focus will be on the Drag–pattern-Graphical-Password (DPGP). DPGP password is proposed tech

This paper summarizes salient features of the existing thinking on fiscal and monetary policies in the Islamic economics literature. It outlines institutional framework for these policies from the Islamic economics perspective. The nature and role of government, in the light of the Shariʽah principles, are revisited. The general goals for macroeco

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with variable clinical severity. It causes degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord resulting in progressive muscle weakness. The widely used classification is based on the age of onset and severity of the manifestation. Orthopaedists will see such cases from time to

The shape of Micropressure sensors has influence on their accuracy. In this paper, a rectangular membrane type Micropressure sensor had been modeled using finite element package and shape optimization in order to design a more accurate flexible membrane. The results show that adding a slim wall, to protect the pressure sensor and system during pres
