Natural ventilation is one of the criteria of passive design strategies to reduce the usage of active ventilation especially an air-conditioning system which will involve a hugeamount of operation cost. The aim of this study was to identify and analyse the criteria of natural ventilation in the selected office buildings. The analysis had been made

Cracks with inclination angles may potentially cause damage to a larger region in the tested structures. Their characterization, in terms of depth and angle, is therefore paramount for ensuring the integrity of the specimen under test. This study extracts features from Pulsed eddy current (PEC) signals obtained in a linear scan, perpendicular to th

This is an exploratory conceptual paper that attempts to highlight some potential research areas related to the aspects of direct and indirect costs in Islamic finance. Questions on whether indirect costs should be included in compensation calculation and in computing mudarabah profit, as well as the issue for indirect costs in the context of Islam

Rain fade slope is one of fade dynamics behaviour used by system engineers to design fade mitigation techniques (FMT) for space-earth microwave links. Recent measurements found that fade slope prediction model proposed by ITU-R is unable to predict fade slope distribution accurately in tropical regions. Rain fade measurement was conducted in Kuala

Desalination is considered one of the most suitable areas for the utilization of solar energy, as there are many places in the world where abundant supply of solar energy is available and also there is a great demand for fresh water. An integrated solar heat pump desalination system is developed at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which

The dynamic characteristics of rain fade slope are one of the important factors in the determination of the earth-to-space communication system availability. It is also useful in the design of the fade countermeasures. This paper investigates the rain fade slope which is one of the main features of fade dynamics with 0.1s, 0.5s, 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s

Introduction: Majority of ovarian neoplasms are benign. The classification of ovarian tumours is based on the presumed cell of origin either epithelial, germ cells or specialized gonadal stroma tumour. Among the malignant type of ovarian tumours, the epithelial type is the commonest comprising about 85% of cases. The ovarian epithelial tymours incl

The objective of this study is an attempt to introduce the role of the Muslim scholar, namely AI-Razi, in establishing treatment for smallpox and measles clinical observations. The methodology of this chapter uses the book written by AI-Razi about smallpox and measles in Arabic language as a reference. In 1970, the World health Organization (WHO) p

Islamic capital market is burgeoning in Malaysian and in the world today. This is evident from the diversified products offered to the patrons. Malaysia has fonnulated a distinctive legal framework for the Islamic capital market which is indeed an exemplary to the rest of the world, which is yet considering doing it, but is deliberating whetherMala

A comparative study of MSF, MED and RO processes has been made and the relative performance of different methods has been discussed in this study. RO has been showing a great promise, and further developments of new membrane materials and pre-treatment processes are likely to reduce the cost of water production dramatically. MED is making good prog
