Depletion of mineral reservoirs along with health and environmental concerns have led to a greater focus on bio-lubricants. The purpose of this study was to analyze and optimize the reaction conditions of the transesterification process for cotton biolubricant synthesis by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In RSM, Rotatable central composit

This paper presents a development of a novel path planning algorithm, called Generalized Laser simulator (GLS), for solving the mobile robot path planning problem in a two-dimensional map with the presence of constraints. This approach gives the possibility to find the path for a wheel mobile robot considering some constraints during the robot move

As a financial intermediary, the banking industry is critical in mobilising funds between surplus and deficit firms. The global financial market has changed dramatically as a result of the transition from financial repression to financial liberalisation, which has resulted in increased cross-border capital flows and financial sector expansion. Libe

Information acquired and processed by government agencies and made available to the public via a web portal is known as Public Open Data. Many governments have created Public Open Data (POD) to promote government transparency by making data available to the public. Malaysia is no exception, having opened public-access data since 2014. Processing la

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In Malaysia, people are getting AMI at younger age compared to well-developed countries. The role of microRNA (miRNA) in pathogenesis of AMI is not well elucidated and its involvement in young population has not been studied. miRNAs possibly affect the atherogenesis, a precu

An adverse consequence in medical treatments tends to cause patients and their families to be overwhelmed with anger, frustration, and desire to retaliate. ‘Apologies’ offered at this point of time tend to have remedial effects in reducing the anger and curbing the motivation to bring matters to the court of law. This will eventually reduce con

This study will examine and review the existing Shariah-compliant stock screening methodologies and will propose a universal standard Shari’ah screening methodology. Apart from understanding the philosophy, definition, components and functions of Islamic stocks, it is also important to understand the conditions and rules of the Islamic stock mark

The teaching and learning of the Arabic language has been using traditional methods and textbooks for a very long time. The language has been used and taught for various reasons including communication purpose. However, in this era of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the needs to produce the interactive and technology-based learning

This paper defines criteria of various sampling locations used to test out the criteria of what a Fully Shariah Compliant Hotel Room should be. This paper reviews the theoretical views in establishing a suitable and optimum environment for Muslim in a supposedly fully shariah-compliant environment. It involves a few research methodologies that requ

A hybrid configuration of Raman amplifier and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is proposed to obtain a better performance in term of gain, noise figure and flat gain. It is based on the optimum parameter configuration of a singly-based Raman amplifier and EDFA. The best parameter for both amplification has been analyze in terms of its input sign
