In this study, a solar assisted heat-pump system for air-conditioning, water heating and drying was designed, constructed and performance evaluated. The three applications can be served simultaneously or independently. The presence of an innovative two-phase unglazed solar evaporator-collector, where refrigerant R-134a was used as the fluid, enable

This research develops a fuzzy based algorithm for microchip image lead Inspection. Leads are inspected for count, planarity, offset, pitch and span defects. Firstly, it utilizes fast preprocessing techniques and blobs’ features extraction methods to achieve high inspection rates. Using the features extracted, the algorithm first finds a proper t

Biodiesel is receiving an increased attention because of increases in crude oil prices, limited resources of fossil oil and environmental concerns. There has been renewed focus on using vegetable oils and animal fats to make biodiesel fuels. The main challenges in biodiesel industry are its production cost and limited availability of fats and oils

Sludge palm oil is a significant raw martial with above than 40% FFA for biodiesel production. The problem with processing these low cost oils is that they often contain large amounts of free fatty acids that cannot be converted to biodiesel using an alkaline catalyst. In this study, a comparison of acids catalyzed potential is described to reduce

The study examines the role of organizational justice (OJ) in promoting extra role behavior (ERB). OJ is a multi dimensional construct and involves fairness of reward/resource allocation decisions, procedural aspects of these decisions, fairness in interpersonal treatment, and fairness in information and explanation given to employees concerning de

The new IIUM low speed tunnel is of a closed-loop type having a test section of 1.5m × 2.3m × 6m and a maximum speed of 50 m/s. This paper describes measurement results for initial calibration and flow characteristics of this newly constructed wind tunnel. The results show that the total pressure varies within 0.999≤Cpt≤1.003, the dynamic pre

SETIAP sesuatu yang tercipta di dunia ini mengeluarkan gelombang, percaya atau tidak, walaupun seketul batu yang kecil. Setiap gelombang mempunyai sifat dan daya kekuatannya yang tersendiri. Seperti gelombang Alpha yang didapati adalah antara bentuk gelombang yang paling 'tenang'. Tsunami yang melanda Aceh pada Disember 2004 pula adalah gel

TATKALA dunia maju dengan peradabannya, manusia pula terpaksa hidup dengan 1001 persoalan yang perlu dijawab, pergelutan hidup, peperangan, kebuluran dan pelbagai lagi kekangan dan cabaran. Manusia yang berakal tentunya ingin melihat segala kesengsaraan ini dikurangkan, walaupun pada hakikatnya siapa antara manusia ini yang tidak mahu ia terus diha

MANUSIA adalah makhluk Allah yang diciptakan lengkap dengan fizikal dan mental. Kekuatan manusia sebagai khalifah di muka bumi ini adalah kerana mereka mempunyai akal dan hati. Minda adalah gelombang positif yang dihasilkan oleh otak, manakala hati adalah hakim yang akan menentukan jalan-jalan yang akan dipilih oleh manusia. Maka, untuk mengubah na
