Public participation in the planning process is very important due to the fact that the public has the right to live in a healthy environment and the obligation to protect the environment. Generally, Malaysia started the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in 1988 as a mandatory legislative requirement to protect and enhance the quality of the en

Diffusion equation has many applications in sciences, not only in physics but also in biology, astrophysics and etc. Especially interest in diffusion in curved surfaces. The last has an application to biological membranes. One of the problems of biophysics is modeling of the transport of substances in the cell. This process has diffusion character.

Free-space optics (FSO) communication is a technology that uses light to transmit data through free space. The most important in FSO communication is the alignment between transmitter and receiver telescope. However, since the transmission medium of FSO is atmosphere, it will give misalignment between transceivers. Hence, tracking system is require

Phytochemical analysis on the crude ethanolic extract of leaves of Malaysian Plectranthus amboinensis (Lour) Spreng was carried out to delineate the presence of its chemical constituents like Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, Triterpenoid, Steroid, and Phenolic. Acute oral toxicity at one dose level of 5000 mg/kg as per OECD Guideline for Testing of Ch

This paper discuss at length both contracts and the legal implications of the presence of gharar on the validity of these contracts.

Prior studies testing the relationship between initial public offering (IPO) returns and liquidity are mostly for the developed markets. The disperse ownership in the corporation and more well informed investors in the developed markets support their findings. On the other hand, the nature and behaviour of emerging stock markets such as Malaysia di

The Adelaide Mosque (1888-1889), the first urban mosque built in Australia, was founded by Afghan cameleers whose contribution to the exploration of Australia’s vast desert interior is largely untold. The cultural significance of the mosque is recognised locally and it is identified as “one of the few relics of Afghan immigration to South Austr

A neuro-fuzzy modeling technique was used to predict the effective of thermal conductivity of various fruits and vegetables. A total of 676 data point was used to develop the neuro-fuzzy model considering the inputs as the fraction of water content, temperature and apparent porosity of food materials. The complexity of the data set which incorporat

An electromagnetic actuated continuously variable transmission (EMA-CVT) system is developed by two sets of electromagnetic actuators (solenoid) located on primary and secondary pulley. A set of solenoids are attached to the primary and secondary pulley to develop the attraction and repulsive forces. The relationships between the speed ratio and el

The sintering behavior of three different types of hydroxyapatite (HA) i.e. a commercial powder, HA(C), a synthesized powder by wet chemical precipitation method, HA(W) and a synthesized powder by mechanochemical method, HA(M) were investigated over the temperature range of 1000–1350 °C. It has been revealed that the sinterability and mechanical
