Many engineering systems such as aircraft and automotive are considered built-up structures, fabricated from components that are classi fi ed as deterministic subsystems (DS) and non-deterministic subsystems (Non-DS). The response of Non-DS is sensitive to minor details of material properties, geometry, connections and damping distribution; theref

Pedestrian injury poses a significant problem throughout the world. Pedestrians contribute to the second largest category of motor vehicle deaths accounting for about 13% of fatalities, after occupant injuries. Therefore is vital to design pedestrian friendly vehicles to mitigate injuries and fatalities. A statistical methodology employing the Desi

The aims of this study are to find the Markov Chain model for the migration in Indonesia, to find the properties of the transition probability matrices, to find the stationary probability, and to find the behavior of the mechanism of the migration in 1980,1990, 2000, 2010 and the combined data from 1980 to 2010. In the Markov Chain model the states

In the Great Giant Pineapples Company, the problem of prediction of weight of fruits at harvest has become a long critical problem for the planning, cannery and marketing. The company has been trying for a long time to find the best method to predict the production of pineapple weight per hectare by using the information of plant weight. It is well

Since the beginning of Islam the institution of mosque has been playing the central role in establishing, developing and flourishing Muslim communities. Scholars all over the world in a wide range of time period have unanimously agreed that the significance of mosque in the life of Muslims are undeniable. However present day mosques are failing to

: In this study the model of higher dimensional log-linear model is applied to four categorical variables in Education. The data are collected from the alumni data of University of Lampung, from 2010 to 2013 and about 9060 alumni involved. In this study, the variables of interest are: Length of Study with three categories (<4.5 years; 4.5- 5.5

The genetic variability among individuals of wild tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) obtained from Kedah, Malaysia was examined by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Five samples of tiger grouper from FRI Pulau Sayak, Kedah, Malaysia were reared in Institute of Oceanography and Maritime Studies (INOCEM), Kampong Cherok Paloh, Pah

This paper presents the application of design of experiments (DOE) in the characterization of the photochromic thin film after irradiation to UV light and designing of a circuit as a potential energy harvester. The results from this study suggest that exposure time at high level and interaction between exposure time and thickness of thin film have

Heart disease is the top cause of death in Malaysia. Arrhythmia is a sign of heart diseases that entails abnormal heart rhythm and is detected mostly by electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, which are attached to the chest, arms or legs of an individual. This mostly requires contact with the skin, which has to be routinely examined. Unfortunately, in un

A numerical investigation is performed on an explicit pressure-correction projection method. The schemes are fully explicit in time in the framework of the finite difference method. They are tested on benchmark cases of a lid-driven cavity flow, flow past a cylinder and flow over a backward facing step. Comparisons of the numerical simulations have
