Malaysia is one of the fastest grown country in Southeast Asia. Urban development in this country has a same issues should be address as developed countries around the world such as traffic congestion and increasing development area as well as population. Urban area in these countries is facing tremendous traffic congestion problem due to increasin

This aim of this paper is to study the potential of Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) polymeric piezoelectric film as an energy harvester for daily application use. PVDF offers several advantages over other piezoelectric materials such as high chemical strength and stability, high piezoelectric properties and biocompatible. Several investigations were

Preventing smoking among adolescents is critical. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Smoking Prevention Education Program among nonsmoking adolescents. A quasi-experimental study design was used. Data were collected from Year 5 students (n = 140) from four government primary schools in the Kuantan and Pahang districts of Malaysia. The pa

Non – adiabatic effects in wave functions and energy spectra of ground (gr) 0 and K rotational bands of 170;172;174Yb isotopes are studied, within the phenomenological model, which takes into account the mixing of ground 0 and K rotational bands. The wave functions and energy of ground and low excited states are calculated. The finding reveals th

Introduction Non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPAs) account for the highest proportion (1/3) of pituitary macroadenomas. Surgery is the primary mode of treatment of NFPAs however recurrence is seen in 50% of cases. There is no standard guideline in terms of treatment modalities for residual NFPAs with regards to repeat surgery, medical the

Introduction: Flaxseed extract promotes bone health and possibly function in inducing bone regeneration process. SHED have been considered as an alternative source of MSC in tissue engineering because of their potential to differentiate into multiple cell-lineages including osteoblasts. Although flaxseed extract has been shown to affect bone format

This project investigates the influence of dopants use via hot-isostatic pressing (HIP) sintering technique on thermoelectric properties. A total of 8 samples weighing 3 g each at different compositions (Zn4-xMxSb3) (M = Cu, Al) (x= 0, 0.3, 0.6 at.%) were prepared via powder metallurgy technique and followed by HIP sintering process. The relativede

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) owns some good properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and high strength however it brittleness became the drawback for this polymer to be utilised in a broader fields. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has high strength and toughness with good biocompatibility which can improve the drawback owned by PLA. In thi

This study extensively aims to investigate the effects of different aspects of corporate governance (CG) mechanism, including board size, executive directors’ shareholdings, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) duality, a family member as the CEO and/or chairperson of the board, independent directors in remuneration committee and number of board meeting

Developing an autonomous flight control system for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) requires the mathematical representation of the system dynamics which can be obtained through system identification, such as using white, grey or black box methods. In this paper, three system identification methods; white method modeling using Cook formul
