The aerodynamic parameters of a preliminary winged-hull airship design are investigated. The research methodology involved the use of numerical simulation and wind tunnel testing. The aerodynamic parameters of the design are first computed using a commercial CFD code. The force and moment coefficients are then measured on a scaled model in the IIUM

Large highrise building is relatively complicated in maintenance. This paper presents the preliminary finding of a study on the building maintenance management of selected large highrise buildings in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Four highrise buildings with a floor number ranging from 20 to 88 floors and a total floor area from 585,527 to 4,252,000 squa

This paper presents the preliminary finding of a study on the building maintenance management of selected national/state masjids in Klang Valley, Malaysia. An evaluation was conducted on the availability of data in terms of information and documentations on maintenance management and the performance of maintenance management. The major maintenance

Alloys for high temperature application always rely on their ability to form protective, dense Cr2O3 and Al2O3 scales. In case of Ni-Cr binary alloy, a minimum composition of Cr is required for the formation of continuous protective scale. However, addition of small amount of third element such as Al may results in decrease of required Cr compositi

The doctrine of lifting the corporate veil is a legal principle applied by the court to set aside the separate legal entity of a company in order to discover the truth behind the veil of incorporation. Despite its frequent use, the doctrine of lifting the corporate veil is only applied by the court under justified circumstances, for example when ph

The article focuses on the divorce reform in England. In 1996, the Family Law Act was passed by the Parliament in England, which is cited as Family Law Act, 1996. Unfortunately, after it was passed, there have been problems concerning its enforcement. Thus, the Government decided to postpone the enforcement of some parts of the Act. Generally, the

This paper analyzes the contributions of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Abduh to modernity, and his struggle for change and reform in al-Azhar and Egyptian society. Abduh was hailed as the “first leader of modern thought in Egypt”, “the father of the 20th century Muslim thought” and “pioneers of the modernist movement in the Arab world”, whose lega

The objective of this project is to model an automatic rail transit controller using VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) that can control the train in one particular station. The controller can control the power to the tracks, and the direction of the trains. This is to make sure that only one train at a station at a particular time and can

FECG (Fetal ECG) signal contains potentially precise information that could assist clinicians in making more appro-priate and timely decisions during pregnancy and labor. The extraction and detection of the FECG signal from com-posite maternal abdominal signals with powerful and advance methodologies is becoming a very important requirement in feta

Photovoltaic technology enables direct conversion of solar irradiation into electricity. This project investigated the performance of a single-axis active solar tracking system by constructing and testing. From the results, it was observed that the output current varied almost instantaneously with the irradiation whilst the output voltage remained
