In this paper, a 1 kW straight-bladed vertical-axis Darrieus wind turbine is designed using the cascade theory. The effects of dynamic stall and flow curvature, in addition to solidity, design power coefficient, design tip speed ratio, design wind speed, cut-out speed, and blade supporting type (simple, overhang), have been considered. For the perf

Research on e-commerce adoption in SMEs has gained considerable attention in the past few years. However, most of them were conducted in developed countries such as USA, UK or Australia. This study attempts to understand ecommerce adoption amongst Malaysian SMEs, applying the persuasion stage of the Diffusion of Innovation Model by Rogers’s. The

Wife battering is a ground for divorce in the Malaysian Shariah Courts. Some husbands claim that it is their prerogative right to discipline their wives by corporal punishment based on their superficial understanding of the Qur’anic text 4:34 which seems to justify this argument. Some feminist organizations condemn this and allege that if physica

Selection of the airfoil is crucial for better aerodynamic performance and dimensions of a smaller-capacity SB-VAWT which can compete with conventional energy sources in niche markets like urban areas and off-grid remote applications for diversified applications. Airfoil related design changes also have the potential for increasing the cost effecti

This paper will discuss the present integration of sustainable features in a self-contained residential development in the growing urban density in Malaysia - consisting of 36 units semi-detached and 4 units terrace houses – within the constraints of commercial viability of such a project. The projects features the layout planning for green-share

Vascular intersection can be used as one of the symptoms for monitoring and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy from fundus images. In this work we apply the knowledge of digital image processing, fuzzy logic and neural network technique to detect bifurcation and vein-artery cross-over points in fundus images. The acquired images undergo preprocessin

Oligostilbenoids are polyphenols that are widely distributed in nature with multifaceted biological activities. To achieve biomimetic synthesis of unnatural derivatives, we subjected three resveratrol analogues to oligomerization by means of one-electron oxidants. Upon varying the metal oxidant (AgOAc, CuBr(2), FeCl(3)6 H(2)O, FeCl(3)6 H(2)O/NaI, P

Man and religion are among the subjects of interest that configure the establishment of human intellectual tradition. However, tracing down the history of both areas, we are presented with multiple responses either in support of or against the subjects. The relation between the two is also another interesting area to embark on. In the case when the

Malaysian peat soil usually categorised as tropical peat soil was chemically modified to work as a coagulant. This coagulant was found very effective for the removal of turbidity from lake and river water in a laboratory scale study. It was found that turbidity could be as low as 5 FTU after treatment with peat coagulant. Besides turbidity there wa
