Entada spiralis Ridl. (Leguminoceae) is a liana or woody climber that grows in the wild in Malaysia and is locally known as ‘Beluru’ or ‘Sintok’. The isolation and characterization of the chemical constituent from an active fraction have been carried out since no previous study has determined any active components from the stem bark. Our pr

This study aims to investigate the implied adjusted volatility functions using the different Leland option pricing models and to assess whether the use of the specified implied adjusted volatility function can lead to an improvement in option valuation accuracy. The implied adjusted volatility is investigated in the context of Standard and Poor/Aus

This chapter reveals the argument that while other categories of physical functions should be emphasized, the visual aspects of public space cannot be neglected. This chapter therefore delves into reviews on two long existed public spaces locally known as padang. For this purposes, two padang of historical cities in Malaysia were reviewed. This cha

Kuala Lumpur began as a little town and started to take shape around 1875. Starting from this period, it grew in both physical size and population. Kuala Lumpur has emerged from a swamp and jungle area with a dominant township trading, governance and services. Between the trading and physical development, an open space development began to take sha

The main objective of the application of Islamic Criminal Law Islamic and non Islamic Countries is to establish a stable society which enjoys peace and contentment. The equality between its different categories is being applied, and the injustice, corruption as well as the obliqueness is restricted. Especially, the different criminal activities and

On 1 August 2008 both The Financial Reporting Foundation (FRF) and the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) decided to push the Malaysian listed companies to the full convergence to Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRSs) starting from the 1st January 2012. This has motivated this research to investigate the impact of MFRS adoption o

The technology innovation and advancements in smart phones and wireless communications have reformed learning techniques such as Pervasive Learning (P-Learning), Mobile Learning (M-Learning) and Electronic Learning (E-Learning). P-Learning is the new form of innovative technologies for learning that occurs at the user's will at anywhere, anytim

This paper reports on the damage caused by milling Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite (CFRP) with 2-flute 4 mm-diameter solid carbide end mills, coated with titanium aluminium nitride. The machining parameters considered in work are, rotation speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Experiments were designed based on Box-Behnken design and the experiments

Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) has become one of the materials that is known to have high hardness and abrasive nature, due to the presence of silicon carbide (SiC) inside the composite. The characteristic nature of the MMC results in unpredictable cutting tool performance when it comes to a machining process. In order to explore a better means of im

As the tendency towards weight reduction and low fuel consumption seems to drive the increased use of advanced exotic materials such as composites, titaniums and Inconels in the aerospace industry, the need for machining remains in aircraft industries as a post-processing operation. In the present work, the investigation of the influence of machini
