Engineering is a discipline that not only covers numerous aspects of our everyday lives, but it also act as an integral part that govern our everyday life. This mean, without engineering, human life will be in distress. Engineers work to give practical solutions to everyday problems. An engineer not only need to apply theories, methods and tools wh

At present polymer and their composites is one of the largest tonnage materials. But they become a headache day after day because of depletion of petroleum and pollution of environment. Biopolymer and their composites (like Polylacticacid (PLA) and its composites) can be a suitable competitor to replace convention polymers and composites. This pape

Polyolefin and layered silicate nanocomposites are expected to replace metals and high performance engineering thermoplastics with lower cost in future. Development of multifunctional nanocomposite system with enhanced mechanical properties, oxygen permeability resistance and flame retardant required excellent structural characteristic. To obtain s

From a statistics accounted in 1999, 48% of plastic bottle that used is made from PET. Among them a huge percentage are end up as garbage and caused the landfills. This toxic waste pollutes our subsurface water label through leaching. PLA is a strong candidate to substitute conventional petroleum based polymer. Kenaf fiber was added to reduce the c

This chapter discusses the regulatory aspects of the Islamic Banking business in Malaysia with reference to the various legislation promulgated by the Malaysian Parliament and other subsidiary legislation enforced on the said topic.

Continuous viable research to develop LMOs/ GMOs by biotechnologists around the world is a sine qua non. It will cater the need of the time in manifest ways, especially by providing subsistence to ever growing populations in developing and least developed countries because they will experience rise of their populations until 2050 which will escalat

Morals are just, fair and good rules of human relations and human behaviours. Good conscience also comprises certain principles for imparting justice and fairness among the people. God conscience and morality are, thus, close to each other. Universality in good conscience will certainly help in developing universal moral rules. But the problem is:

Traditionally, discussions on corporate governance (CG) have largely focused on economic sustainability. This is not surprising as CG issues have largely arisen out of accounting irregularities uncovered at prominent organizations, such as Enron, Tyco and WorldCom, and various other well-known companies. The focus of CG now, however, is broader….

User Experiences (UX) and Usability are tightly coupled. They are yardsticks for successful interaction designs. Various methods are available to evaluate UX and usability respectively. Many arguments are presented in order to either distinguish or identify common grounds between the two. These evaluation methods are used in various different conte
