Purpose This paper aims to measure the level of importance and satisfaction on a number of items in the day-to-day running of the halal parks in Malaysia and to rank a selected halal parks on the basis of a number of performance criteria. Design/methodology/approach An importance-performance analysis (IPA) approach was adopted to focus on the areas

Manufacturing companies as well as service providers often encounter barriers in successful implementation of supply-chain management (SCM) principles and practices. The present research, through extensive literature review, has identified the main barriers of SCM implementation for Malaysian manufacturing companies. Having identified the list of b

In this paper, a dual band stack series array antenna is designed for the future 28 GHz Ka-band application. Dual-layer substrate Technology is used to achieve multiple resonant frequencies with higher bandwidths. Antenna is designed based on stack array of double layer with patches and resonators in different layers. Designed dual-band antennas ca

An operating center frequency of 2.45 GHz rectangular inset fed microstrip patch antenna with defected ground structures for ISM band applications has been presented in this paper. The return loss of the proposed antenna is -29.726 dB with impedance bandwidth for $S_{11}< _{-}10\mathrm {d}\mathrm {B}$ is 2.441 to 2.462 GHz, that covers IEEE S02

E-waste is a subset of solid waste and is defined as any solid waste which is generated by individual, educational institution, general institution, industry, housing area or as a household and so many other sources. This survey has led to an enhanced national or local and international awareness of the potential detrimental effects on the environm

The main aim of the survey was to assess the respondent’s opinion on the factors influencing the generation of e-waste and its impact on public health in Malaysia. Methods: The research project involved a cross-sectional survey of International Islamic University’s students conducted in 2017 at Kuantan campus in the Pahang state, Malaysia. Alon

The aim of this paper is to introduce the trajectory tracking with a quaternion based quadrotor operation using model predictive con-trol (MPC). Since the efficacy of MPC on a system under noise and disturbance has been distinguished, it is a fair and successful attempt to apply MPC on the quaternion based quadrotor, which is a quite well-known sys

There are a lot of efforts have been employed to find out the major factor which increase the volume of medication waste. However, several survey reports were highlighted the key factors of medication waste like lack of knowledge on the serious impact of unused medication waste, neglected the proper disposal technique, not following the drug take b

This paper reports a study on mitigation of propagation impairments on Earth–space communication links. The study uses time diversity as a technique for mitigating rain propagation impairment in order to rectify rain fade. Rain attenuation time series along earth-to-satellite link were measured for two years period at 12.255 GHz in Malaysia. The

Internet is a very well-known word in this world since it has a revolutionary impact on our society. Nowadays we cannot think about our daily life without using the internet and especially social media is solely connected to it. Mass media has become more powerful in terms of spreading any news throughout the globe. With the help of social media, w
