The appearance of new technologies allows new data processing techniques. Thus, many new data processing techniques make difficult to user to find pertinent information in suitable time, unless knowing what accurately is in search of, where and how getting it. This paper proposes a pervasive network based information filtering system that integrate

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and subsequent Carbon Nanomaterials (CNMs), there has been an ever increased academic and industrial interest on there various fields of application due to their exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. In this work, granular activated carbon (GAC) made from palm Kernel shell (PKS) of mesh size

The effects of virgin coconut oil in palm olein during deep-fat frying of French fries for 8 hours per day for five consecutive days were compared in this study. Nowadays, the reusing of oil is normal procedure but it gave a major impact to human health. Thus, this study was done to improve the oil stability during frying by blending. The oils that

This paper discusses the meaning of Islamic architecture and some of its salient characteristics. The discussion is divided into the following sections: (I) What is Islamic architecture?; (2) Islamic architecture as a means, not an end; (3) Two examples: the Islamic house and the mosque; (4) Pragmatism and Islamic architecture today; (5) Towards th

Fish oil is associated with many promising health benefit since it contains an essential fatty acid called ω fatty acid (1, 2). This experiment was conducted to study the effect of fish oil containing ω -3 fatty acids on wound healing. A freshwater fish, Pangasius sutchi was used to extract its oil using a modified Folch method (3). The fatty aci

H.264/AVC is an industry standard that has been designed to address different technical solutions such as broadcast applications, interactive or serial storage. conversational services, Video on Demand or multimedia streaming services [1]. The main objective behind the H.264 [2][3] development was to build a high peIformance video coding standard b

Concerns over the quality of medical education has received renewed attention in Malaysia following a front page headline entitled “Quality first, not quantity” of a mainstream popular newspapers The Star on January 9, 2011. Indeed, this worry about the training given to physicians at medical school warrant serious examination. The consequences

The demand for sub microsatellites is growing rapidly. A new low-cost launching method is needed to launch these types of satellites. This can be done by launching from airplanes. By implementing air launching, there would be no restrictions on the launch site, the launch angle, and the launch direction. In this paper, trajectory optimization of th

In this work, IIUM’s first free wing unmanned aerial vehicle model (IIUM-FWUAV) was designed, fabricated, tested and investigated experimentally. In constructing the aerial vehicle, the initial weight was estimated and the wing size, fuselage size and aerodynamic forces were determined, after which optimization was carried out. The experimental w

World is currently focusing on alternate material sources that are environment friendly and biodegradable in nature. Due to the increasing environmental concerns, biocomposite made from natural fibers and polymeric resin, is one of the recent developments in the industry and constitute the present scope of experimental work. This work presents elab
