This study presents the results of experimental work carried out to evaluate the role of polyacrylamide as dewatering aid in electroforced sedimentation. Electroforced sedimentation experiments under constant electric current density of zinc oxide and kaolin suspended in aqueous media with and without polyacrylamide were carried out and comparison

Electroforced sedimentation experiments under constant electric current density of zinc oxide suspended in aqueous media were carried out and comparison is made between the experimental results and model predictions. The basic differential equation based on the model is solved analytically by assuming that both an electro-osmotic pressure gradient

A family takaful certificate is subscribed by a takaful participant for the purpose of preparing financial support for his dependants after his death. The takaful benefits could then be made payable to a nominee named as the beneficiary under conditional hibah (gift). In this respect, the participant is free to decide to whom the benefits are to be

Violent extremism remains a significant challenge for South-East Asia, but in no country does it pose an existential threat. In Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Thailand, governments have the capacity to prevent it, while at the same time they should understand that it is unlikely to disappear completely. Whether violent extremism

Peacock bass (Cichla spp.) originates from the Neotropical environments of Brazil and Venezuela but, through trade and smuggling for aquarium keeping, sport fishing and aquaculture, it is now an emerging concern. Yet, less is known for Cichla spp. distribution and its ability to invade new environments. Aimed to communicate on Cichla spp. ecology,

The demand for a combination of materials that satisfy the requirements of the world market has been exponentially growing in recent years. It is predicted that the upcoming years will guarantee a significant evolution of new classification of hybrid composite materials. The exploration of applicable alternatives to minimize the usage of synthetic

This study aimed to estimate willingness to pay of households for air quality improvement and marginal benefits that household derived from the improved air- quality management plan in Klang Valley, Malaysia. A choice experiment study was administered to 300 households and the data was analysed using the multinomial logit model. It was found that n

In single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, the choice of a suitable filter and its parameters for noise reduction purposes is a big challenge. Adverse effects on image quality arise if an improper filter is selected. Filtered back projection (FBP) is the most popular technique for image reconstruction in SPECT. With this techniq

Introduction: Source-to-collimator distance is one of the physical factors that can affect the quality of images generated in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Therefore, this work investigated the effect of source-to-collimator distance on image quality in terms of uniformity, hot and cold regions contrast and signal-to-noise rat

The spirit of KL - shaping city identity through Art and Culture. A critical analysis of “Gallery Weekend Kuala Lumpur” and its potential contribution in branding Kuala Lumpur. In this paper, the dynamics and driving factors of forming “city identity” will be reviewed and examined by applying theoretical frameworks of urban and cultural stu
