Objective: Family Environment Scale (FES) is one of the most widely used instruments to measure many family aspects. Cross cultural adaptation of the original FES is essential prior to local utilization as different cultures percept their family environments differently. We attempted to translate the FES into the Bahasa Malaysia language for adoles

A retrospective study was conducted to investigate 183 serologically-confirmed cases of dengue fever (DF) admitted from October 2004 to March 2005 in a large hospital in Pahang. Clinical and laboratory features, progress and outcome of these patients were analysed in order to identify risk factors associated with development of dengue haemorrhagic

Problem statement: Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-clay nano

Organophilic clay was modified by ion exchange reactions using Octadecylamine. The reaction process was carried out at a temperature of 70oC for 90 minutes reaction time in a batch reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer rotating at a speed of 300 rpm. Physicochemical and thermal properties of the clay before and after modification were determin

The main aim of the present study is to look into the composition of Malaysian giant mudskipper lipid which might be useful to human health by looking into the ratio of ω-fatty acids present in P.schlosseri oil. Lipid from the fish flesh was extracted using the Folch method and the fatty acid composition was analysed using GC and GC-MS. It was fou

In this work, the IIUM first free wing unmanned aerial vehicle model (IIUM-FWUAV) was investigated experimentally. The experimental work was carried out using IIUM low speed closed circuit wind tunnel. The aerodynamic performance of free wing concept was predicated. The effects of angle of attack and Reynolds number were also examined and discussed

This research focused on the design, construction and testing of a free wing remote controlled aerial vehicle. The free wing concept allows the wing to move freely in pitch relative to the fuselage. Its main advantage is stall avoidance which is achieved through the natural property of the airfoil. In constructing the aerial vehicle, the initial we

The main objective of this subject is to design and build a sailplane that meets certain performance requirement. Simple mission profile was used which is include warm up, taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise and landing. The cruising altitude, range and sailplanes requirements and specification has been decided base on certain criteria. The take off weigh

Kajian ini memfokuskan penggunaan model kabur baru untuk pemilihan sistem pelupusan sisa pepejal perbandaran (SPP) yang dewasa ini dilihat semakin menghambat terutamanya negeri-negeri di bahagian tengah Semenanjung Malaysia. Rekod menunjukkan negeri Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (WPKL) mencatatkan penghasilan SPP tertinggi melebihi

This paper deals with some of the contemporary issues which are generally associated with religion especially to Islam such as radicalism, fundamentalism, extremism, terrorism, traditionalism, and reformist thought. This is by and large claimed by Western authors who deal with Islamic thought. It is contended here that this is done due to misinterp
