Introduction : The philosophy of higher education is about the empowerment of human beings so as to fully realise their potentials as rational beings. The reason is because the contributions which these individuals can give towards the development of the society are invaluable for the stability and progress of a country. The reason is simply becaus

The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of and association between measures of spiritual and psychological health in a sample of 358 undergraduate students of International Islamic University Malaysia (Mean age = 22.25 years, SD = 1.87). All the study variables correlated signifi cantly positive with each other. Significant gender dif

Porous hydroxyapatite samples were prepared via polymeric sponge method using commercial hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. The effects of sintering rate, stirring time and HA concentration on porosity, compressive strength and crystallinity of the porous bodies were evaluated. The study found that a faster sintering rate resulted in higher apparent densi

Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics doped with manganese (Mn-doped BCP) were prepared by using chemical doping via sol–gel technique. Four different concentrations of manganese (2, 5, 10, and 15 mol%) have been successfully incorporated into biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) phases. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the phases present in th

The work aims to study the root mean square (RMS) responses to acceleration input for four state variables: the m_{s} vertical acceleration, the m_{s} pitch angular acceleration and the front and rear deflections of the suspensions. A half-car two degree-of-freedom model of semi-active control scheme is analyzed and compared with the conventional p

Harun Nasution is an important name in the reformation of religious thought in Indonesia. His idea of reformation in religious thought of Harun Nasution is by introducing a new theology known as Islamic rationalism modelled along the lines of the classical rational thought of Mu'tazilah. His approach via education had to a certain extent exerte

Void formation in oxide scale during high temperature oxidation is a common phenomenon. Over a long period of time voids will affect the mechanical property of scales by influencing the cracking and spalling. Voids formed in dry environment are different than that of formed in humid environment. With the presence of water vapor in humid environment

Advertising plays an important role in daily life. It is able to generate sales and brand recall towards certain products and services. By understanding consumers’ attitude towards advertising, designers and marketers can better strategize their advertising designs. A better understanding of interactivity can also help to improve the effectivenes

True and false lumen changes and patient outcomes following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for patients with stable type B dissection have been described by the The Investigation of Stent Grafts in Aortic Dissection (INSTEAD) trial. However, these changes have not been described in TEVAR patients treated for complications of chronic di

The formation of protective Cr2O3 scale at high temperature was evaluated using Wagner’s theory of binary alloy oxidation. The results show that at 1073 K, around 9.8 wt% of Cr is required to form external Cr2O3 scale, and 3.5wt% of Cr is needed to maintain the scale. Introduction of water vapor has shifted the critical Cr concentration to higher
