Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become great changes in all aspects of life nowadays. The technology developing day by day and ICT has been used widely across the world. In term of education, IT also changes the learning approach in some aspect. ICT infrastructure helps a lot in education aspect especially in the higher academ

Aim: In the last decade Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism has been identified as one ofthe risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Though more than 11% population of Malaysiaare suffering from T2DM, there is inadequate data on the correlation between theAPOEgene poly-morphism and pathogenesis of diabetes among Malaysians. Hence, in

We have investigated the effect of manganese (Mn) doping on properties of nanosized biphasic calcium phosphate powders and their dense bodies. Manganese levels of 0.6, 1.3, 1.9, 4.3, 7.0 and 11.9 at.% were successfully incorporated into biphasic calcium phosphate via a sol–gel route. The prepared powders were calcined at temperatures of 500–120

Tax audit, a key feature of the self-assessment system (SAS), may have a significant deterrent effect on taxpayers. Previous studies show that the audit experience may influence taxpayers’ compliance behaviour. Though the SAS has been implemented on companies in Malaysia since 2001, information on the efficacy of tax audit activities conducted by

In this paper, we describe the HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) system developed to operate a humanoid robot head capable of visual tracking and servoing of human face through image processing. The robotic humanoid head named Amir-II, equipped with a camera and servoing mechanism is used as the platform. The Amir-II tracks the human face within the fi

Previous results show that fermentation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) with Aspergillus niger IBS-103ZA has successfully increased the phenolic content and also antioxidant activities of the extract [1]. In this study, the potential use of Aspergillus niger IBS-103ZA to treat the effluent for removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and heavy meta

Engineering Education is facing new challenges to improve their outcomes toward higher quality to meet the job market demand and to keep abreast with current technologies. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is the key that might provide accountability and essential ingredient in this quality improvement effort. It is an analytical decision making

The production of palm oil results in the generation of huge quantities of polluting wastewater commonly known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). POME is a thick brownish liquid that contains high amount of total solids, oil and grease, chemical oxidation demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and if not properly treated, can disrupt the nat

 Innovation – New, novelty, better discovery and invention  Technological innovation resulted from installation, improvement, modification or replacement of current available technology.  Implementation of technological change normally affects the organization work system and its operation, effectiveness, productivity while giving comfor

Comprehensive comparison on quarter-car, half-car and full-car models were conducted to analyze the effect of using semiactive control policies, namely skyhook, groundhook and hybrid controls, in improving ride quality of passenger vehicle. Sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection and tire deflection responses were analyzed for measurements
