Stack ventilation in the hot and humid climate is inherently inefficient due to minimal air temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environment of a naturally ventilated building. Solar induced ventilation is a viable alternative in enhancing this stack ventilation. This paper aims to demonstrate investigations on the effective solar col

Malaysian tax system includes a tax depreciation rule separate from accounting depreciation. This paper is to compares and contrasts the accounting treatment of depreciation and the tax treatment of capital allowance. The gap between the accounting and tax is resulted from different definitions of capital expenditure and qualifying asset and also d

In this study, we demonstrate the optimization of the chopper frequency and duty cycle in a Z-scan measurement with a 250MHz high-repetitionrate(HRR)femtosecond laser to minimize the thermal lensing effect due to cumulative heating of the sample. The result shows that such minimization can be achieved by keeping the modulated exposure time on the s

There is a worrying trend recently of inter-religious cases which have fuelled angst amongst multiracial communities in Malaysia, and which threaten to disrupt racial harmony or dismantle the 1Malaysia Unity Framework. We refer to the recent case of a “Muslim” bride (named Zarina Majid) marrying her Hindu boyfriend of seven years. The earlier v

A top-down silicon nanowire fabrication using a combination of optical lithography and orientation dependent etching (ODE) has been developed using <100> Silicon-on Insulator (SOI) as the starting substrate. Initially, the samples were doped with phosphorus using the diffusion process resulting in carrier concentration of 2 X 10 18 cm-3. Af

In recent years, online tutorials have become well-established tools for the delivery of information literacy training to seek new and more effective ways to reach audiences. This paper focuses on a project at the Quranic Language Department, IIUMto develop a new approach to online instruction. The goals of the project were to explore how the addit

This paper is multidisciplinary in nature concerning with social, economic, and religious variables. The main objective is to determine the impact of zakat distribution and education levels on real income per capita using panel data of the fourteen states of Malaysia. The results of the estimated fixed effect model are quite satisfactory in terms o

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is one of the most widespread security problems for web applications, which has been haunting the web application developers for years. Various approaches to defend against attacks (that use XSS vulnerabilities) are available today but no single approach solves all the loopholes. After investigating this are

Tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world. It is growing faster than other notable industries in the world such as manufacturing, retail and financial industry. Tourism industry provides direct contribution to the world economy. Even though this industry does not directly pollute the environment, its cumulative negative impacts on the e

This study examines the relationships among economic growth, domestic investment, real exchange rate and trade openness in Indonesia using the Johansen cointegration test and Granger causality test. The results suggest that there exists a long-run relationship among the variables. All the estimated coefficients of the long-run equation have the cor
