The growth of polymer-based composites from either synthetic or natural fibres, especially carbon and kenaf fibres as reinforcement, has gained major interest in many pieces of research. However, only a little attention has been made that compared the mechanical performances of these developed composites based on previous studies. In fact, this com

Hybrid composites from combinations of synthetic and natural fibers have experienced a considerable interest among researchers due to its excellent characteristics. One of the drivers for this development owing to the ability of synthetic and natural fibers to compensate for the limitation of one another. Thus, the current effort works on the fabri

The growth of Iskandar Malaysia as a regional development corridor is inescapable large and rapid. The study area has been transformed from predominantly agricultural and forest land prior to 1990s into the second largest and third most urbanized area in peninsular Malaysia. The aim of this paper is to map Iskandar land cover change from 1991 to 20

I first heard about Ahmadou Bamba (ca. 1850-1927) thirty-two years ago through the 9-part BBC television series titled The Africans: A Triple Heritage presented by the doyen of Africa and Islam studies, the late Professor Ali Mazrui. The series, which was produced in 1986 was also published in the form of a book. And the name of Ahmadu Bamba has re

In the current project, Kenaf fiber (K) and carbon fiber (C) with epoxy resin were utilized to form carbon-kenaf hybrid composites using a vacuum infusion technique. The volume fraction of fiber and thickness of a hybrid composite was fixed at 40 vol.% and 3mm, respectively. Four different sequences were introduced in the current project including

Rapid development in technology and society has generated diverse developments in many fields including biosensors in healthcare application. Here, the design of integrated biosensor comprises mass sensing (Quartz Crystal Microbalance) and electrochemistry sensing (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, EIS and Cyclic Voltammetry, CV) will be pres

In digital era, citizen has higher expectation on public sector services. Excellence services and delivery system are expected from them. Towards this, the need to have a good system such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system as evidence in private sector is one of the crucial efforts. Prior researches especially in private sectors have reco

Electrochemical biosensors show great promise for point-of-care applications due to their low cost, portability and compatibility with microfluidics. The miniature size of these sensors provides advantages in terms of sensitivity, specificity and allows them to be mass produced in arrays. The most reliable fabrication technique for these sensors is

Low Power WAN (LPWAN) is a wireless broad area network technology. It is interconnects using only low bandwidth, less power consumption but at a long range. This new technology is operate in unauthorized spectrum [1] which designed for wireless data communication. In order to have an insight of such long range technology, this paper evaluates the p

Antipsychotic medications are the cornerstones of the acute and long-term treatment of schizophrenia. Despite their benefits in minimizing the schizophrenia symptoms, they have been associated with the risk of inducing QTc prolongation, which may lead to a serious life-threatening arrhythmia and cause sudden death. Objective: To review the QTc prol
