The professionalization of computer crime has resulted in a shift in motivation away from bragging rights towards financial gain. As a result, the operational tactics of cyber criminals is beginning to incorporate reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to inform attack planning. This paper discusses why information leakage in general, and Online

This work presents active control of high-frequency vibration using skyhook dampers. The choice of the damper gain and its optimal location is crucial for the effective implementation of active vibration control. In vibration control, certain sensor/actuator locations are preferable for reducing structural vibration while using minimum control effo

‘Pengkid’ is a term used to refer to a woman with masculine appearances and is prone to same gender sexual orientation. The ‘pengkid’ pictures the identity that contradicts with their biological nature as well as their moral and social values. This inverse culture obviously contradicts with a human nature, and it might be identified as a ge

This paper examines the behavioural and physical adaptation of Malay families living in terrace houses in the urban areas in. The objectives of the study are to examine the behavioural adaptation in relation to Malay culture pertaining to activity system, privacy and social interaction and physical adaptation in the form of terrace housing modifica

This paper presents a guide to identify optimal damper location to reduce vibration on built-up structures. The guide is derived from simulation studies carried out on a set of benchmark models. Optimization is carried out using genetic algorithm. Optimal location is found using found using Generic algorithm and the hybrid method. The hybrid modell

Department of Mechatronic Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia has been established since 1998. Since the establishment, the department has successfully conducted four conferences in series under name International conference in Mechatronics (ICOM). The first conference was held in 2001 (ICOM'01), second in 2005 (ICOM'05,

Excessive vibration affects performance of many electrical and electronics equipment. One of such equipment is laser beam transmitter for data transmission via free space optics (FSO). Achieving the desired performances of the equipment will require a vibration isolation table to isolate the equipment's from the surrounding vibrations.

In this paper light is shed on the philosophy of punishment in Islamic and positive laws and a comparison between them is accomplished. In brief, the conclusion of the exposition and comparison is that issue of infallibility of Sharʑah and its nobleness are the distinguishing marks between Islamic and positive laws. This led to further differen

The fundamental focus of this study is to gain an increasing understanding on how people interpret their leisure and recreational outdoor activities in neighbourhood parks. This paper explores and expended the attributes or construct from past literature findings in the area of use pattern, needs and preferences study towards neighbourhood parks by

Many a times, a custody proceeding will usually follow a divorce proceeding. If the custody of a child is given to one party, the other party will usually be given access or the opportunity to see or visit the child. A question arises as to whether this access is solely a right or at the same time a responsibility on the part of the parents. If it
