INVENTION Threshold Concepts in Military Officers' Education

RESEARCH FIELD

Education, Community Development and Social Science

Deriving from a doctoral study, this model discusses threshold concepts needed to facilitate

successful ontological shifts in becoming a military officer. Drawing from threshold concept theory,

the model provides a helpful analytical tool to examine the process deemed necessary for

transformation from civilian status to thinking and practising as a soldier and consequently a military

officer. Combined with phenomenography as the research methodology, the research involved

seven higher ranking officers, 24 military trainers, and 29 officer cadets from two reputable military

education institutions in Europe. The findings show that there are two ontological shifts that

transform a civilian to become an officer. During Phase I, the first ontological shift in becoming a

soldier involves the acceptance of discipline and obedience, recognition of a framework of related

ethics and values, loyalty to the unit (collective above individual needs) and a sense of obligation.

Meanwhile, Phase II will require a soldier to understand the concept of personal responsibility for

the execution of mission, putting others before self, and the ‘power to command’ to complete the

transformation in becoming a military officer.

INVENTION Developing A Holistic Ethnic Tolerance Index in Malaysia

RESEARCH FIELD

National Security

In Malaysia, a stable ethnic relations is prerequisite for the country stability and for other types of

developments to proceed. One of the major factors that contribute the strength of ethnic relation is

the tolerant attitude. Even though the government has encouraged people to practice tolerant

attitude, ethnic tension is still prevailing. This study will propose to measure three main variables

that influence the inter-ethnic tolerance which are the religion, ethnic cross relationship and

governance. To fulfil the objectives of the study a survey was carried out among students at three

public research universities in Klang Valley. This location was chosen since there have been many

ethnic clashes occurred here such as Kampong Medan incident. The calculation of the ethnic

tolerant index (ETI) is based on the formula used to determine Malaysian youth index 2015 (IBM

2015). Based on the data obtained it shows that the Malaysian university students of these three

universities is highly tolerated which means they possess high level tolerant attitude.

INVENTION Defence Expenditures of Selected Countries in Southeast Asia

RESEARCH FIELD


Most if not all countries in Southeast Asia have continued to increase their defence expenditures

since the end of the Cold War. However, the literature in this area is still lacking and another similar

study merely focuses on countries in the Middle East and the Far East. This study aims: (1) To

analyse the trends in defence expenditures of selected countries in Southeast Asia, namely

Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand and (2) To identify other factors that

may affect their defence expenditures. This study applies a qualitative research method called

content analysis from the Military Balance online database by compiling defence expenditures data

in selected countries in Southeast Asia from 1988 to 2007 for the first aim and reviews existing

literatures on factors that may affect their defence expenditures for the second aim of this study.

Results show that there is a decreasing trend for defence expenditures as a percentage of GDP

and an increasing trend of the actual amount of defence expenditures. This study also indicates that

there are other factors that may affect their defence expenditures: military technological

advancements; quality, prestige and force-multipliers and arms race or maintaining the status quo.

The contribution of the study is to verify evidences that these selected Southeast Asia countries

need to develop their own defence for their national sovereignty and integrity to replace old and

antiquated military equipment, as well as attaining prestige and force-multipliers effects to achieve a

form of national status and enhancing the military capabilities of their armed forces.

INVENTION Nata de coco for propellant used

RESEARCH FIELD


Nitrocellulose has attracted great interest amongst researchers due to its uses in wide range of

products including paint and gun propellant. Therefore, this work focuses on the synthesis of

nitrocellulose from bacterial cellulose via nitration method. It is important to obtain cellulose nitrate

with high percentage nitrogen content so that it can be used as an ingredient in propellant. The

sample were characterized by elemental analysis, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy

and field emission electron morphology (FESEM). FTIR shows the presence of NO2 groupin

nitrocellulose, proving that is was successfully synthesized by nitration method. This result was

supported by FESEM result which demonstrates different morphologies between pure and modified

cellulose. As a conclusion the optimum reaction time and temperature obtained in syhtesizing

nitrocellulose is 35min and 35oC with nitrogen content 12.87%

INVENTION Rational Design of Hybrid f-MWCNT/P3HT Based Chemiresistor for Detection of Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA)

RESEARCH FIELD

Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure

Conducting polymer-based sensing devices has been recently the subject of intense scientific

research especially in chemical warfare agent (CWA), volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and

pesticides detection. Hydrogen bonding interaction between the organophosphorus group and

conducting polymer will induce the change of resistivity and photoconductivity making it sensible

operation as chemiresistor. However, due to the poor stability of polymer it may possess significant

limitation in gas sensor application. Therefore, the need of new sensors exhibiting a high selectivity

and a total reliability in connection with smart systems and efficient for pre-detection and post-

detection technology is substantial. Herein, we reported the fabrication of a chemiresistive sensor

using hybrid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT) integrated onto poly(3-

hexyltiophene) (P3HT) matrix. Hybrid f-MWCNT/P3HT film were obtained by drop cast and spin

coated on electrodes prior to chemical and physical analysis. The integration of polymer with

dispersed carbon nanotubes is expected to promote sub-ppm chemiresistive detection by high

surface to volume for gas adsorption and carrier’s mobility. Non-covalent wrapping of the carbon

nanotube will improve the stability of the polymer at ambient temperature. In conclusion, this design

is expected to give fast response, and high sensitivity in the performance of chemiresistive sensors.

INVENTION A New Generation Coolant: Nanocarbon in Ethylene Glycol and Deionized Water Based Nanofluids

RESEARCH FIELD

Climate Change, Environment and Sustainability

The emerging of nanofluids for thermal management systems for new generation of coolant has

attract the attention of many researchers. The addition of small amount nanoparticles may enhance

the thermo-physical properties of the conventional fluids. Therefore, the application of nanofluids in

the field involves high density power with smaller and lighter equipment are crucial. Thus, in this

work, the coolant capability has been tested using a mini heat transfer rig system. A model was built

from the components in a CPU liquid cooling system which consists of water block, heat exchanger,

liquid pump, reservoir tank and tubes which run using the direct current. The thermal analysis then

was conducted by observed the temperature difference of the water block. The resulting result

shows that there is the reduction in the observed temperature of the water block. It can be

concluded that the prepared nanofluids, with good fluidity, stability, and high thermal conductivity, is

a potential advanced coolant in thermal energy engineering and energy consumption saving.

INVENTION Applying Total Quality Management In Supply Chain Management: A Study At Naval Logistics Depots

RESEARCH FIELD


The purpose of this study is to come up with a conceptual framework that examines the relationship

between different practices of total quality management (TQM) and supply chain management

(SCM). Five TQM practices, namely leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, human

resource management and process management were adopted from Malcolm Baldrige National

Quality Award (MBNQA) to test the relationship between TQM and SCM. This was a cross-

sectional study where the results were based on logistics depots in the naval organisation. Self-

administered survey questionnaires were distributed to the logistics officers and personnel at the

depots. A total of 250 survey questionnaires were collected out of 280 survey questionnaires

distributed which represented a response rate of 90%. The results revealed that leadership,

strategic planning, customer focus, human resource management and process management were

found significantly related to SCM. This study can greatly contribute to the naval logistics depots

focusing on or planning to implement TQM. The results of this study can bring a deeper and better

understanding of the relationship between TQM practices and SCM to top management so that the

related TQM practices can be applied in establishing a systematic and competitive SCM. Besides,

depots which have not implement the two management systems together can gain a better

understanding and able to implement the two systems together efficiently and effectively through

this study.

INVENTION Complexity in the vascular blood vessel model with variable fractional and external disturbances

RESEARCH FIELD

Medical and Healthcare

A variable fractional-order vascular blood vessel (VOFVBV) system under the influence of different

external disturbances is proposed. Specifically, those external disturbances includes periodic

forces, stochastic signal and time delay force. Its numerical analysis is then carried out by

employing bifurcation diagram, phase portrait, multiscale C0 complexity measure and multiscale 0-1

test. Rich dynamics including chaos are found in the system. Specifically, the noise and non-

constant derivative order functions make the system more complex such that the risk of vascular

disease is increased. Results obtained provide a reference for diagnosing vascular disease in a

complex environment from human body.

INVENTION Effect of HNO3 treated TiO2 on Structural and Electrical Properties of Hexanoyl Chitosan/Polystyrene-LiCF3SO3-TiO2 Composite Polymer Electrolytes

RESEARCH FIELD

Energy and Water Security

In searching for solutions to reduce battery weight for military applications, films of composite

polymer electrolytes comprised of hexanoyl chitosan/polystyrene containing lithium

trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3) and titanium oxide were prepared using solution casting

technique. Two types of TiO2 filler were used, which are untreated TiO2 and HNO3-treated TiO2.

The effect of untreated and HNO3-treated TiO2 on the structural and electrical behavior of the

prepared electrolyte systems has been investigated by using X-ray diffraction and impedance

spectroscopy, respectively. The ac conductivity was calculated using σ(ω) = σdc + Aωs formula in

the temperature range from 283 K to 353 K. The conduction mechanism of the H-chitosan/PS-

LiCF3SO3-TiO2 and H-chitosan/PS-LiCF3SO3-treated TiO2 can be interpreted based on the

correlated barrier hoping model at 4 and 6 wt.% of TiO2 respectively.

INVENTION Conductive Biopolymer Based on Derivative of Chitosan With Imidazolium Ionic Liquid For Application In Electrochemical Devices

RESEARCH FIELD


Chitosan, the most abundant and basic biopolymer is chosen as a polymer host in this solid

electrolyte film. Derivative of chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan (CM-chitosan) is prepared via

chemical modification where a carboxyl group (COO-) is substituted into the biopolymer matrix. The

sustainability of CM-chitosan that is found in renewable sources such as shells of crustaceans is

important in order to avoid depletion of the raw material and promotes environmental friendly. High

basicity ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim][OAc]), acts as charge carrier and

plasticizer in this system. Flexible and transparent CM-chitosan/[Bmim][OAc] electrolyte film has

been successfully prepared using solution casting technique. The ionic conductivity, (σ) of the

electrolytes increase significantly with the increase of weight percentage, (wt.%) of [Bmim][OAc].

The highest σ attained is (3.05 ± 0.35) x 10-3 Scm-1 at ambient temperature. The complexation and

interactions of CM-chitosan and [Bmim][OAc] was confirmed by FTIR analysis. XRD diffractograms

revealed that inclusion of [Bmim][OAc] has increased the amorphous nature of CM-chitosan. SEM

observations showed the smoother surface morphologies of the polymer electrolytes as the wt.% of

[Bmim][OAc] increases due to the plasticizing effect of the ionic liquid. Linear sweep voltammetry

analysis showed that the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte achieved up to ±2.8 V and

transference number analysis confirmed that ions predominate the conduction of electrolyte with

±0.980 ion transference number. These promising results showed that the electrolytes have

potential to be applied in electrochemical devices and suitable to be utilized in the defence and

security field.

INVENTION Effect of Gamma Radiation on Micromechanical Behaviour In Microelectronics Packaginf for Military Device Application

RESEARCH FIELD


Electronic packaging is the technology relating to the establishment of electrical interconnections

and it is a major discipline within the field of electronics engineering. Packaging of an electronics

system must consider the protection from mechanical damage, cooling, radio frequency noise

emission and protection from electrostatic charge. Solder had been widely used as interconnection

materials for microelectronic package. Nevertheless, solder joint in radiation need higher resistance

to any damage caused by ionizing radiation. In this study a lead-free solder alloy

96.5Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu Wt.% (SAC) was developed and subjected to various doses of gamma radiation

and used Nano indentation approach in order to investigate the effect of the radiation to

micromechanical properties of the solder. The data were analysed based on Oliver and Phar

method. The results showed that the hardness, H and elastic modulus, E of SAC solder changed

when exposed to gamma rays. The hardness was increased when exposed to the highest dose.

The relationship between H and E are interesting to obtain the plastic deformation behaviour. An

approximate correlation between the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus in indentation is found.

INVENTION Disaster Readiness Instrument

RESEARCH FIELD


Disasters bring devastating consequences and have effects on the economy, environment and

people. Disaster occurs when hazards meet vulnerability. The objective for this study is to produce

disaster readiness instruments. Research design of descriptive and correlational is used on this

quantitative study. The data collected from the questionnaires distribution was analyzed by using

SPSS software. From the descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient, the result

indicates that military are ready in the disaster planning, logistic, human resources, risk

assessment, civil military cooperation and communication. Moreover, the war preparation also can

be use into disaster response depending to the situation. Hence, from the disaster readiness

instruments, the readiness of military preparation for war is more than 80% while the readiness for

disaster response is less than that. However, this result does not indicate that military is not ready

for disaster. The cooperation between military, other agencies and communities are high in

managing the disaster. In future, this study can be used for expanding the knowledge of the

disaster readiness among military and can be used for further research. This study also contributed

in the policy review where the authorities can amendment the old policy in line with time passage.

The finding of this study also practically can be used for any organization in preparing the disaster

management.

INVENTION Disaster Readiness and Response Model

RESEARCH FIELD


Disaster management reducing the harm disasters cause to society, the economy and the lives of

individuals and communities. Managing the disaster is a systematic process of using the

administrative directives, organizations, policies, operational skills and capacities to implement

strategies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and

the possibility of disaster. There are few models that can be developed in managing the disaster

readiness and response in prone areas. Thus, the research aimed to produce the disaster

readiness and response model in managing the disaster. This mixed method of qualitative and

quantitative research is using interview and questionnaires from the military infantry to get the data.

Then, the data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient from

SPSS software. The finding of disaster readiness and response models indicates that the military

infantry have the knowledge, skills and abilities from the training program as well as good morale in

performing the task during the disaster operation. Moreover, the civil military cooperation and good

communication among infantry and communities are strong. The outcome of this research also

indicate that both commitment and motivation are part of the effective disaster response operation

and disaster readiness in military infantry. Generally, the respondents also indicated that the current

disaster response management and disaster readiness is somewhat effectual.

RESEARCH FIELD


Disaster is a serious disruption that could result in major deaths, illness, and substantial economic

or social disruption. It also can cause a lot of damage, human suffering, poverty as well as

community’s psychological and emotional disturbance. In Malaysia, disaster such as flood and

landslide are frequent phenomenon. There were also a few cases of earthquake and mudslide in

Sabah and Cameron Highland, Pahang. In all these scenarios, the infantry soldiers are one of the

first mover to provide response and conduct search and rescue. The infantry soldiers’ knowledge,

skills and abilities, training, welfare and morale are important factors to consider in performing their

tasks during disaster response. In addition, infantry soldiers’ commitment also play important roles

towards achieving successful disaster response. The objective of this study is to determine the level

of infantry soldiers’ human resource factors, i.e. knowledge, training, welfare, morale, commitment

and in performing disaster response operations. In addition, this study also aims to determine the

relationship between human resource factors with effective disaster response management and to

determine the most significant contribution toward disaster response and recovery. The research

design of this study is descriptive and correlational, applying quantitative research method. 1764

respondents of this study from Malaysia Infantry Regiment consisting of officers and other ranks.

Data collected through the questionnaire survey were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. From the

descriptive analysis, all human resource factors i.e. knowledge, training, welfare and morale with

commitment have very satisfied level. Then, from the correlation analysis, Knowledge is r= .703,

Training is r= .778, Welfare is r=.708, Morale is r= .739 and Commitment is r=.718. Finding from

regression analysis the largest beta coefficient obtained was Training .278 and this corresponds

with the highest t-statistic of 10.167. This means that this variable make the strongest unique

contribution in explaining the dependent variable Response and Recovery. The findings of this

study suggested that the infantry soldiers do have the knowledge, skills, abilities, training, welfare

and morale in conducting disaster response operations. In conclusion, these human resource

factors are achieving the expected level. This suggest that the infantry soldiers do require additional

knowledge and training in conducting disaster response operations. These human resource factors

can be developed through comprehensive disaster operations training and education.

INVENTION Development of elemental speciation method (HPLC-ICPMS/MS-ESI-MS) for identification of unknown F-compounds

RESEARCH FIELD

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrospray ionisation-mass

spectrometry (ESI-MS) is commonly used to elucidate the structure of compounds depending on

the polarity and ionisability of the compounds. However, this method (HPLC-ESI-MS) is limited to

standard availability, thus the metabolism, by-products or degradation products of organic

compounds not easily be studied. The study focused on fluorinated compounds, which are very

useful in many applications such as pharmaceutical, food security, materials, energy and consumer

products due to its strong C-F bond. These advantageous have led to the continuous production of

different fluorinated formulation, which causes the accumulation of 60-90% of unidentified

fluorinated compounds in the environment. Since fluorine has small mass deficiency, it is not an

easy task to screen successfully all fluorinated compounds including those which are not easy

ionisable. Driven by this issue, a novel non-targeted method has been developed for fluorine-

specific detection by coupling the HPLC simultaneously to inductively couple plasma tandem mass

spectrometry (ICPMS/MS) and ESI-MS. The simultaneous fluorine specific detection with

ICPMS/MS could help in mining the ESI-MS data by identification where the fluorinated compounds

elute so that the mass spectrum of this retention time can be scrutinised for fluorinated compounds.

Although fluorine is not normally detected by ICPMS, the novel approach to transfer F- into [BaF]+

in the argon plasma detected fluorine in sub-ppm level. The method has illustrates that the non-

ionisable fluorine-containing compounds were detected and quantified by the element-specific

detection of ICPMS/MS. Hence, HPLC-ICPMS/MS-ESI-MS can be used as a non-targeted method

of F-compounds to helps the identification of unknown F-compounds in various samples and helps

with mining the huge ESI-MS data.

INVENTION Production enhancement of mutant phosphotriesterase for detection and decontamination of chemical warfare agent (CWA).

RESEARCH FIELD


The wild type of phosphotriesterase (PTE) as an enzyme that able to hydrolyse and detoxify

organophosphate compounds and chemical warfare agents cannot be disputed. G-type of nerve

agents which are tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD) and cyclosarin (GF) are among the most

hazardous compounds known that affects the nervous system and may lead to death. PTE mutant

is the most proficient enzyme reported thus far for the detoxification of G-type nerve agents.

However, the low expression of PTE mutant, hamper the study of this enzyme towards substrate

specificity and not sufficient for the production of industry. To overcome this problem, in silico study

and 3 different growth media were employed. In this study, the recombinant PTE mutant was

successfully cloned into pET51b+ and expressed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) expression system. The

molecular weight of PTE mutant was approximately ~40 kDa as visualized at SDS-PAGE. The

protein of PTE mutant in autoinduction media shown higher compared with commercial media

which is 36.5mg/mL. Moreover, the hydrolysis activity also shown higher in mono phosphate

compound by able to hydrolysis 48.2 U/mL in one min. In addition, in sillico study revealed that

substrate selectivity of PTE mutant favour higher molecular weight base on higher binding energy

between ethyl paraoxon with the active site compared to methyl paraoxon. A suitable growth media

generally enhance the production and hydrolysis activity of PTE mutant. This enzyme may be

utilized for detection and decontamination purposes.

INVENTION Salicydilamidoxime: a potential drug for chemical war agent poisoning treatment

RESEARCH FIELD


Chemical war agent poisonings are due to inhibition of acethylcholinesterase (AChE) to breakdown

of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. Discovery of a new broad-spectrum antidote for

organophosphate poisoning treatments will be a major breakthrough in management of chemical

war agent exposure incidents. As part of an attempt to find a new drug for the treatment, an in-

silico and in-vitrro studies to screen for a potent reactivator for organophosphorus poisonings was

carried out. YASARA , the bioinformatics tool was used to perform docking study between

potential reactivators and organophospahate-inhibited AChE. Docking of salicydilamidoxime with

malathion yields a binding energy of 7.0 kcal/mol, with the distance between the nucleophile from

salicydilamidoxime to the phosphorus atom of malathion of 4.05 Å. The high binding energy

suggests that salicydilamidoxime has the potential to release the malathion from the malathion-

AChE complex. The ability of salicydilamidoxime in reactivating of the malathion-inhibited AChE

was further evaluated in-vitro on human whole blood. The increase in AChE level after reactivating

with salicydilamidoxime was observed, therefore supports the in-silico finding that suggests

salicydilamidoxime is a potential compound for malathion-inhibited AChE reactivator.

INVENTION Uniform Scattered Particles Removal in Single Image Based on Illumination Information

RESEARCH FIELD


Maximum limit of human visibility without the assist of equipment is 1000 metre based on

international Commission on Illumination. The use of a camera at a location outside for the purpose

of navigation, monitoring, remote sensing and robotic movement sometimes yield images that are

observed are interrupted by haze, fog, smoke, steam and water drops. Fog is the random

movement of the water drops in the air that normally exists in the early morning. This disorder

causes a differential image observed experience low contrast, obscure, and difficult to identify

targets. Analysis of the interference image can restore damaged image back as a result of

obstacles atmospheric particles or drops of water during image observed. Generally, images with

atmospheric particles contains a homogeneous texture like brightness and a heterogeneous texture

which is the object that exists in the atmosphere. This study focusing in single image due to the

more practical method to solve the problem occurred in recent camera application. For the prior

knowledge based is refer to the research made by He that proposed the dark channel prior as main

characteristic to estimate the transmission depth in the image. The result can be occurred with less

atmospheric particles but this method will use much time processing to calculate transmission map,

distort the colour and dependent of model accuracy and image light. Pre-processing method based

on the dark channel prior, statistical measure of contrast vision and prior knowledge, still produces

good image quality but less effective when faced with Halo or ring light, and strong lighting. This

study is estimated to be able to propel the development of machine vision industry aimed at

navigation or monitoring for ground transportation, air or sea.

INVENTION Next generation solar cells using graded bandgap PAni, CdS and CdTe thin films

RESEARCH FIELD


A graded-bandgap solar cell with structure glass/FTO/PAni/CdS/CdTe/Au structure has been

fabricated using on PAni, CdS and CdTe thin layers. The three semiconductor layers were

electrodeposited using a two-electrode system for process simplification. The incorporation of a

wide bandgap amorphous PAni as a buffer formed organic/inorganic interface has reduce potential

barrier between the layers and increase Voc. This has increase in all the solar cell parameters

resulting to a conversion efficiency >12.2% under AM1.5 illumination conditions at room

temperature, compared to a 2-layer glass/FTO/CdS/CdTe/Au reference solar cell structure with an

efficiency of 7.5%. These results demonstrate the advantages of the multi-layer graded-bandgap

device architecture over the conventional 2-layer structure. In addition, they demonstrate the

effective application of the two-electrode system as a simplification to the conventional three-

electrode system in the electrodeposition of semiconductors with the elimination of the reference

electrode as a possible impurity source.

INVENTION Hybrid Rocket Propellant

RESEARCH FIELD


Hybrid rocket propellant combines the features of solid and liquid propellants. Hybrid rockets are

safe due to various factors such as distinct physical states of fuel and oxidizer, on-board restart

ability, fuel insensitivity to combustion instability, throttling capability, reduced environmental impact,

and low manufacturing cost. These unique features of the hybrid propulsion system make them

suitable for a variety of space applications such as the sounding rocket, upper stage launch

vehicles, and suborbital and orbital human space flight. Besides the advantages mentioned above,

the solid fuels do have certain drawbacks such as a low fuel regression rate and a varying oxidizer-

to-fuel ratio during the combustion. The diffusion-flame-limited combustion in the hybrid rocket

motor has been cited as the main cause for low regression rate and poor combustion efficiency.

Experimental studies were conducted on palm-based fuel (stearic acid) that can be used for high

regression rate applications in hybrid rocket engines. Regression rates and core data collected are

useful for the preparation of hybrid rocket fuel. This research explore the combined analysis done in

pure palm-based wax that can be used as solid fuel in a hybrid rocket engine. The measurement of

pure palm wax calorific value was performed using a bomb calorimeter. An experimental rocket

engine and static test stand facility were established. After initial measurement and calibration,

repeated procedures were performed. Instrumentation supplies carried out allow fuel regression

rate measurements, oxidizer mass flow rates and thrust and specific impulse measurements.

Calculated data and experiments show that regression rates and higher thrust can be achieved

even in pure-tested palm-based wax. However due to high amount of unburned fuel escaping the

nozzle the thrust and impulse may not be optimized. The unburned fuel is due to low melting point

of stearic acid resulting in layers of unburned liquefied fuel escaping the nozzle.

Additionally, palm-based wax is mixed with aluminium characterized by higher nominal melting

temperatures to increase moisturizing points to higher temperatures without affecting regression

rate values. Calorie measurements and ballistic experiments were performed on this new fuel

formulation. This new formulation promises driving applications in a wide range of temperatures.

Further development of the palm based hybrid rocket fuel shall be carried out using CNT to

increased mechanical strength of palm-based wax without sacrificing regression rates requires

extensive research and development work to meet the needs of high thrust engines.

INVENTION Nitration of Nata de coco Cellulose for Propellant Application

RESEARCH FIELD


Nitrocellulose (NC) or cellulose nitrate has attracted great interest amongst researchers due to its

uses in wide range of products including paint and gun propellant. This research focuses on the

preparation of nitrocellulose from nata de coco cellulose via nitration method for propellant

application. It is important to obtain cellulose nitrate with high percentage nitrogen content so that it

can be used as an ingredient in propellant. There are many factors affect NC production includes

molar ratio of acidic mixture of nitration, reaction temperature as well as reaction time. Therefore,

these three factors were investigated in this work. The sample were then characterized by

INVENTION An Antifouling Electrode as a Sensing Platform for the Development of An Electrochemical Immunosensor for the Detection of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

RESEARCH FIELD Medical and Healthcare

In this project, fabrication of an antifouling electrode based on electrode-organic layer-nanoparticles

construct is discussed which will then be utilized as a sensing platform for the development of

electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of HbA1c, a diabetes biomarker. Antifouling

electrode is required to overcome the main challenge in electrochemical biosensors, when they are

exposed to biological media, is the possibility of interference from nonspecific protein adsorption,

referred to as biofouling. An electrochemical immunosensor based on indirect sandwich format is

used for the detection of HbA1c where it is based on the antigen-antibody interaction on the

electrode surface. The determination of HbA1c (antigen) is based on the catalysis of the substrate

by the enzyme labels immobilised on the ‘sandwich’ modified electrode surface, which the reduction

of the substrate will generate an electric signal on the electrode surface. The indirect sandwich

immunoassay was developed using an IgG secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish

peroxidase (HRP) as the enzyme label and ferrocenemethanol (FcMetOH)/H2O2 was used as the

enzyme mediator/substrate system. The reduction current obtained from the electrocatalytic

reaction of mediator is proportional to the concentration of Ab2-HRP conjugate, thus, it is indirectly

proportional to the concentration of HbA1c. The specificity of the immunosensor towards detecting

the HbA1c is achieved against different antigen such as HbA0 and HSA as well as against

unmatched detection antibody, anti-biotin antibody. The results demonstrate great specificity and

antifouling behaviour of the developed immunosensor allowing it for further application in whole

human blood.

INVENTION Kenaf Paper Insulation

RESEARCH FIELD


Electrical insulating paper and press-board have been widely used in transformers for several

years. They are mostly made from softwood pulp. Currently, several tons of paper insulation and

press-board are used in large and medium transformers. With the rapid development of power

industry in the world, the demand for cellulose continues to grow, leading to a bigger challenge

related to the lack of softwood pulp. Moreover, producing paper require vast trees consumption, so

it causes depletion the forest and damaging the environment. Consequently, the search for non-

wood fibers in paper-making industry has been given more attention. Kenaf is one of the non-wood

fiber that can be used for paper production. Kenaf offer many advantages such as to they are

abundant, have short cycles and rapid generation, comparatively low price, and high strength

paper. At present, there is no study conducted to investigate the suitability of Kenaf-paper as

electrical insulating paper. Therefore this project proposes to assess the suitability of Kenaf-paper

as an electrical insulating paper by examining the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of

the Kenaf-paper to confirm whether the value limit is within the required standard. Besides that, a

study will be carried out to investigate the aging performance of Kenaf-paper with insulation oil and

the aging marker of Kenaf-paper. Finally, the electrical performance of Kenaf-paper under uniform

and non-uniform field will be investigated with a different configuration of electrodes. The

introduction of renewable sources such as Kenaf paper insulation in the transformer could help to

reduce the dependency on softwood material and help to utilize the usage of Kenaf. Since electrical

and electronic is part of the National Key Economic Areas-(NKEAs), it is a great opportunity to

explore and utilize this sector as to meet the expectation of highly developed nation with better job

opportunities and living environment.

Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu (SAC0307) lead free solder on Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENiG) and

Immersion Tin (ImSn) surface finish printed circuit board was subjected to blast test. The variation

of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer and hardness properties of soldered sample exposed to

blast wave were intensively investigated using optical microscope and nanoindentation machine.

The formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) due to reaction between solder and substrate

during blast wave have deleterious effect of the metallurgical bond strength and the reliability of

solder joint connections. These microstructural analysis can be view via Infinite Focus

Measurement. The finding of these studies indicate that best surface finished for blast wave test

performance is not necessarily the best difference finish for optimum reliability. ENiG and ImSn

surface finish can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the application, package and

reliability requirements. As a result, most component assemblers are using ENiG and ImSn in order

to improve solderability as well as the wettability between solder and the substrate and to meet

various package requirements.

discussion forums and others to express their views and opinions on certain matters. Therefore, SA

technology is very much needed to analyze the information or content in online media. This

technology is very important and useful to consumers, for example in trading of products, whereby

new users are able to evaluate the quality of a product based on comments and opinions from

previous users who had purchased the product. These comments help them to make decisions in

buying the product. Part-of-speech (POS) tag using a Standard Parser to identify nouns with

tagging nouns, adjectives, and verbs; whereby these words are then extracted from sentences.

Through online product reviews, consumers share their opinions, criticisms, and satisfactions on the

products they have purchased. However, the abundance of product reviews may be confusing and

time-consuming for prospective customers to analyze before buying a product. The unstructured

format of product reviews requires a sentiment mining approach in analyzing customers’ comments

on specific products and its features. In this research, the researchers explore and analyze the

hybrid role of typed dependency relations (TDR) and part-of-speech (POS) tag in detecting the

relation between features and sentiment words. The researchers have also created a list of

combination rules using TDR and POS tag to serve as a guide in identifying the relation between

features and sentiment words in sentences. Results have shown that the hybrid algorithm could

assist in identifying such relationship and could potentially improve performance.

INVENTION Hydraulic Ram Pump: A Practical Solution For Green Energy

RESEARCH FIELD


Hydraulic ram pumps use the hydro power energy in the flowing water such as springs, stream or

river to pump a water. With the continuous flow of water, a ram pump operates continuously on the

principle of water hammering action. No electricity or any power fuel is required to run the pump,

thus environmental friendly and green in nature. In addition, the waste water from the ram pump

can easily be recycle into the river, thus effectively creating zero wastage of water. Hydraulic ram

pump consists of two moving parts, i.e. waste valve and the delivery valve. The unit also consists of

an air chamber and air valve. The operation of ram pump continuously and automatically due to

opening and closing cycles of the waste and deliver valve. The closure of waste valve creates high

pressure rise in the drive pipe. An air chamber is required in the system to transform the high

intermittent pumped flows into a continuous stream of flow. The air valve allow air into the ram

pump to replace the air absorbed by the water due to the high pressure and mixing in the air

chamber. The purpose of this research is to study the potential of hydro ram pump application as

one of the green energy sources. A field and laboratory experimental will be carried out to

investigate the performance of hydro ram pump air chamber using different type of materials and

design towards flow rate of water being delivered. The low cost ram pump will be construct based

on design layout. In addition, the prototype of ram pump will be installed at site and the

performance will be monitor for 6 months. It is expected that at the end of this study, the hydraulic

ram pump can represents a good alternative to conventional pumping devices for green energy

sources with lower financial effort. Additionally, the outcome of this study may contribute to provides

the baseline information about green energy for the welfare of society and that may also help in

INVENTION Apps for Abnormal Human Motion Detection

RESEARCH FIELD


This application proposes an approach to figure out human movements using movement based

method. The movement based method is Horn-Schunck optical flow algorithm is chosen in order to

find the flow vector for all video frames. Optical flow is a popular method to detect the object and

can calculate the motion of each pixel between two frames, and thus it provides a possible way to

get a velocity of the object movement. It is the apparent motion of the brightness pattern in an

image sequence. The video frames are collected using the digital camera. Using this method, the

abnormal and non-abnormal video frames are then analyzed classified and utilized. This application

embarks on the following objectives which are to extract the suitable features that can represent

abnormal movement, to develop an algorithm that can discriminate between abnormal and non-

abnormal features for human movement detection and to adapt into the digital video images.

INVENTION Numerical Simulation of Robot Navigation Algorithms using Laplacian Potentials in Static Indoor Environment

RESEARCH FIELD


One of the key issue in robot navigation is the ability to move from arbitrary start location to a

specified destination without colliding with any obstacles while traveling. The project attempts to

improve the path planning efficiency of mobile robots by solving the navigation problems iteratively

using harmonic potentials to generate smooth and safe paths. The harmonic function applies the

Laplace’s Equation to control the generation of potential function over the regions found in the

mobile robot’s configuration space. The major advantages of harmonic potentials over other

methods are they offer complete algorithm, which guarantees that the solutions will be found if they

exist, or otherwise the algorithm can detect when there’s no solution. Moreover, the paths can be

found very quickly once the harmonic potentials are obtained. By using harmonic potentials, the

navigation compute the potential values of the environment once based on the goal point only.

Therefore, the robot can start from any free space in the configuration space. Thus, a new algorithm

based on modified accelerated method will be developed to speed up the computation of harmonic

potentials.

INVENTION Water As An Alternative Fuel For The Future

RESEARCH FIELD


The need to find an alternative energy that can be generated, environmentally friendly and sustainable such as hydrogen has become increasingly important in order to overcome the dependence on fossil fuel sources and global climate change problem. Hydrogen is a valuable feedstock for the industry and it may play a big role in the energy supply of the future, as a green, high in energy, non-polluting and efficient energy carrier. This new green technology process involves a cycle of a two-step reactions, which comprises a reduction reaction of the catalyst using few reducing agents such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane gas followed by an oxidation reaction to split the water molecules to produce hydrogen. The process is performed in a packed bed reactor using potential catalysts. The catalysts have been selected by a thermodynamic calculation using Gibbs free energy and the preliminary study showed a few potential metal catalysts can gave up to 50 % of hydrogen production yield. Furthermore, modification of the potential catalyst also successfully increase the hydrogen production performance up to 70 %. In addition, the carbon dioxide that we obtained through this reaction will be captured by suitable CO2 capturer. Thus, effectively preventing any carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere and converted to valuable chemicals. This process promises the green technology which is highly valuable to be developed and commercialized, thereby encourage a collaboration from various agencies such as universities, research institutes and industries.

INVENTION Emergency Management Plan (EMP) for Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC)

RESEARCH FIELD


As an integrated downstream oil and gas plant, the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex

(PIPC) is a major hazard installation located near international shipping lanes in Pengerang,

Johore. While the complex was developed at a sheltered harbour with few environmentally sensitive

areas, the extensive operations and systems within the complex itself are highly hazardous and

pose formidable health, safety, security and environmental risks. The development of an

emergency management plan (EMP) for PIPC is a consultancy project for Johor State National

Security Council and Johor Petroleum Development Corporation (JPDC). The EMP aims to address

all possible emergency situations at PIPC for the purpose of protecting lives and reducing damages

and losses to the stakeholders. It was formulated in compliance with relevant legislative

requirements including the National Security Council (NSC) Directive No. 18, No. 20, and No. 21.

The EMP was presented to, and accepted by both Johor State NSC and JPDC upon completion of

the project. In addition, a presentation was made to the National Disaster Management Agency

(NADMA) as Malaysia’s focal point for disaster and emergency management. The implementation

of this EMP as part of an integrated emergency management strategy for PIPC reflects the integrity

of local and federal statutory agencies and committees in ensuring the safeguard of all stakeholders

As researchers and practitioners alike become increasingly concerned with the residual data

generated via web browsers, residual data visibility in everyday life bound to increase accordingly.

Particularly regarding activities including visited URLs, cookies, cache, search words, downloaded

records are tend to be recorded on the local machine. The purpose of this system is to evaluate the

possibility of using web browser in an attempt to hide one’s activities from conventional digital

forensic tools like EnCase. This application mainly focusses on the implementation of a system

capable of encrypting of browser artefacts using a simplified version symmetric encryption

technique such as AES. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are one of the best-known and most

robust symmetric encryption algorithms. The proposed system makes use of the advantages of

both the methods by presenting a hybrid technique of encoding and encryption, resulting in a much

secure and faster alternative web browser artefacts. Regardless of whether the attacker gets

access to any of the keys, the attacker won’t be in position to unmask the data in an expected

certain amount of time. This system will hopefully contribute to a better web browser over the

existing techniques by doing some minor changes in the implementation framework.

INVENTION A Simple and Rapid Sensing Method for Acephate (a Simulant of Nerve Agent) Detection

RESEARCH FIELD

National Security

Acephate is an organophosphate (OP) which is widely used as pesticides. It is also utilised as a

simulant of nerve agents due to its ability to deactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme

which controls acetylcholine concentration in our body. Conventional detection methods of OPs

require high specification instruments which are expensive and time consuming. In this

communication, a simple and rapid detection of acephate which was developed based on

colorimetric and image processing techniques is described. The detection can be conducted by just

adding a reagent into sample solutions and followed by capturing the image of the colour complex

formed using a portable microscope and image digitization. Through digitization of the images,

detection accuracy is enhanced. Using this sensing system, acephate of as low as 100 ppm can be

detected in 10 seconds.

INVENTION Fungal strains isolated from corroded parts of a military helicopter used under a tropical environment.

RESEARCH FIELD Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)

Materials and equipment which are manufactured to be used under a temperate climate may improperly function when they are operated in a tropical environment. The tropical environment, which is a combination of high humidity level and temperature, is favourable condition for fungal growth, consequently accelerates deteriorating of many materials and equipment through damaging of the materials structure, loss of strength and discoloration. A study was conducted to phenotypically and genotypically identify fungi species that corrodes a military helicopter (AgustaWestland A109 LOH). Fungi samples from the deteriorated surfaces and components of the helicopter were collected by using cotton swabs, cultured in a potato dextrose agar, isolated them based on their morphology and confirmed their identification by molecular study. Morphological identification of the fungi isolates was carried out by direct macroscopic observation and microscopic examination. Molecular identification was performed by targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA). This study reveals that there are ten (10) fungi species that infect the helicopter and they are Cladosporium Cladosporoides, Penicillium Oxalicum, Aspergillus Aculaetus, Aspergillus Ochraceus, Nigrospora Sphearica, Athrinium Pheospermum, Phoma Herbarum, Trichoderma Asperellum, Lassiodiplodia Theobromae and Curvularia Lunata.

RESEARCH FIELD

National Security

Chemical warfare agents are inexpensive and relatively easy to produce, even by small terrorist groups, to create mass casualties with small quantities which cause a greater threat to national and global security. A particularly hazardous class of chemical warfare agents are the nerve agents. Their rapid and severe effects on human health originate in their ability to block the function of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is vital to the central nervous system. One of the most hazardous nerve agents is VX. It can react with moisture to form main hydrolysis products such methylphosphonic acid (MPA). Conventional techniques used for the detection of MPA are sensitive but time consuming, expensive, and require expertise. Therefore, a simple and rapid quantitative test kit was developed based on colorimetric and image processing techniques to detect MPA.

INVENTION A selective and rapid detection of combat wound infections using graphene based electrochemical sensor

RESEARCH FIELD


War wound infections among military personnel who developed combat related-injuries during and

after war conflict can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-

negative bacteria is frequently associated with combat wound infections. It is difficult to control and

treat these infections due to its remarkable ability to form biofilms that are highly resistant to

multiple antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucially important for early diagnosis of P. aeruginosa in wound

for successful wound management and effective local antibiotic treatment. Current diagnosis of P.

aeruginosa infections are based on the laboratory technique (Isolate-microbial culture and

Molecular biology technique) that are not suitable for on-site detection in military environment.

Among of the toxin molecules produced by P. aeruginosa, only pyocyanin is unique in this species

and exhibits the redox active properties that it is only can be measured electrochemically. This give

us an idea to develop a low-cost, rapid and alternative detection based on the redox current of

pyocyanin as a biomarker of P. aeruginosa using screen-printed electrode via electrochemical

technique. To enhance an electrochemical signal of pyocyanin, we successfully modified screen-

printed electrode surface with graphene nanocomposites before being used. Results demonstrated

that our graphene electrochemical sensor was able to discriminate the redox current signal with and

without the presence of pyocyanin in samples. Under optimal condition, the developed

electrochemical pyocyanin sensor exhibited a good linear range for the determination of pyocyanin

at a clinically relevant concentration range of 1-100 µM. By measuring of pyocyanin level, this

graphene electrochemical sensor offers a significant advantage such as can eliminates sample

preparation, low volume sample requirement and allow fast identification of p. aeruginosa in real

samples which take less than a 5 min to complete. This electrochemical detection gives us an

important output to design a portable sensor or smart bandage incorporated with electrochemical

sensing to monitor the wound for future military personnel application.

INVENTION Applying Total Quality Management In Supply Chain Management: A Study At Naval Logistics Depots

RESEARCH FIELD


The purpose of this study is to come up with a conceptual framework that examines the relationship between different practices of total quality management (TQM) and supply chain management (SCM). Five TQM practices, namely leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, human resource management and process management were adopted from Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) to test the relationship between TQM and SCM. This was a cross-sectional study where the results were based on logistics depots in the naval organisation. Self-administered survey questionnaires were distributed to the logistics officers and personnel at the depots. A total of 250 survey questionnaires were collected out of 280 survey questionnaires distributed which represented a response rate of 90%. The results revealed that leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, human resource management and process management were found significantly related to SCM. This study can greatly contribute to the naval logistics depots focusing on or planning to implement SCM. The results of this study can bring a deeper and better understanding of the relationship between TQM practices and SCM to top management so that the related TQM practices can be applied in establishing a systematic and competitive SCM. Besides, depots which have not implement the two management systems together can gain a better understanding and able to implement the two systems together efficiently and effectively.

INVENTION Knowledge, Attitude and Acceptance of Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination among Pre-clinical Medical Students in Malaysia Military University

RESEARCH FIELD


Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections. Cervical cancer is the third most common malignancy among the women worldwide. The primary tool for prevention of cervical cancer is through the HPV vaccination. Pre-clinical year medical students must have background knowledge about HPV vaccination as they become healthcare providers, who will play an important role in influencing patients’ decision to receive. If the knowledge on the HPV is still low, which will result in poor attitude towards its prevention. This study was aimed to determine the knowledge of HPV vaccine and cervical cancer as well as the acceptance of HPV vaccination among pre-clinical year medical students. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 83 pre-clinical year medical students in National Defence University of Malaysia(NDUM). A set of self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the respondents to gather the data. Most of the respondents were not aware the indication of HPV vaccination (46.3%). However, 64.6 % of pre-clinical year students perceived that HPV vaccine can protect against the cervical cancer and it is important as Hepatitis B or Haemophilus influenzae vaccine in Malaysia (54.9%) although 47.6% of them disagreed that HPV vaccination will diminish the need for annual Papanicolaou (Pap) smear testing. Being a pre-clinical year student does not warrant good knowledge and prevention of HPV infection. There is a need to obtain more information about HPV vaccination effects on cervical cancer in their medical school teaching and from the social media.

INVENTION Level of Disaster Readiness

RESEARCH FIELD


Level of Readiness is referring to the state of being prepared in doing something and also the

willingness to do something. Flooding has become a common occurrence which is the Northeast

monsoon season brings floods to many parts of peninsular Malaysia states especially in East Coast

regions. The frequency of flood disasters has been increasing over the years, resulting in loss of

life, damage to property and destruction of the environment. At the same time, military intervention

in disaster management are not a new phenomenon as flood disasters 2014 in East Coast of

Peninsular Malaysia as the army have conducted evacuations, established emergency shelters,

operationalized evacuation centers and provide relief assistance to affected families. Disaster refers

to a serious disruption of the functioning of a society and community which involving the widespread

of material, human, environmental and economic losses (United Nations International Strategy for

Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), 2009). In recent years, Malaysia was vulnerable to various natural

hazards including large floods, tsunami, cyclonic storms and landslides that emerged from

climatological changes (Shaluf et al, 2003). Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop an

instrument for measuring military readiness for disaster management. This study used descriptive

research design and method which questionnaire distributed with some respondents from the

Malaysian Armed Forces infantry personnel who are involved in disaster readiness. Out of a total of

2300 questionnaires distributed, about 1764 (76.6 percent) usable and valid questionnaires were

received. Based on the questionnaire used for the survey method for this study, information was

obtained from the respondent and subsequently analyzed by quantitative analysis, Statistical

Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 to get the information about military readiness in

Disaster. This study found that most of the respondents are 50.6 percent satisfied with the level of

readiness. For the Readiness factors which is Policy, Planning, Logistic, Human Resources, Risk

Assessment, Data Management, Civil Military Cooperation, Communication, Leadership Style and

Organizational Culture, majority of the respondents was very satisfied about that. In addition, it is

found that only Policy and Organizational Culture contribute strongly to level of disaster readiness

and these factors contribute 53 percent towards level of disaster readiness.

INVENTION Leadership, CIMIC & Ethics During Disaster Response In A Selected Community

RESEARCH FIELD


The role of militaries and civil agencies play an importance role in disaster response and recovery. These include an increase in the scale and incidence of natural disasters, a concurrent trend towards militarization of humanitarian response in conflict situations and increased interest in disaster response on the part of militaries. Hence, the Malaysian Armed Forces and civil agencies and a selected community play an effective role to ensure the effectiveness of managing the disaster response in that area. This study used descriptive research design and method which questionnaire distributed with some respondents from the Malaysian Armed Forces infantry personnel and selected Community who are involved in disaster response and recovery. For the purpose of this research, quantitative research method is applied where quantitative method is use for questionnaires with officers and other ranks. A total of five focus groups discussions and 36 interviews were conducted covering all regions in Malaysia. The second stage of data collection uses questionnaire survey. Out of a total of 2300 questionnaires distributed, about 1764 (76.6 percent) usable and valid questionnaires were received. Qualitative data received were analysed descriptively for themes and categories. Quantitative data were analysed using bivariate and multivariate analysis on SPSS software Version 3.0 and Smart PLS 3.0 to get the information about Leadership, CIMIC & Ethics during Disaster Response in a selected community. The Malaysian Armed Forces must ensure that the level of civil military coordination, civil military cooperation and civil military activities of the personnel both good and high. This is because, civil military coordination greatly affects the current disaster response and recovery of the personnel at the infantry unit. In addition, high civil military coordination also can be prepared in disaster management. However, there are also of problems when the relationship between military and civilian having dissent then is led to a relation between the civil and military during the disaster response and recovery will cause an impaired. It is important to the both civil and military have a good and healthy relationship to plays an important role in managing the disaster.

INVENTION The Response of Ion Selective Electrode Based on Aryl Methyl Carbonylamino Thiazole Derivatives as Ionophore

RESEARCH FIELD


Thiazole derivatives have been known to form a very stable complexes with metal ions. The properties of thiazole derivatives have made these compounds become a suitable ionophore which is a sensing material of Ion Selective Electrode (ISE). Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) based on ionophore is a liquid membrane sensor that having an attachable membrane on the bottom part of an electrode. This electrode is made up of four parts; body, silver electrode, internal filling solution and membrane. The membrane is consisting of four components, ionophore, polymeric membrane, ionic additive and plasticizer. This experiment is conducted to study the potential of aryl methyl carbonylamino thiazole derivatives as ionophore and its response in electrochemical set up. The response of ion selective electrode is depending on the compatibility of plasticizer and ionophore, and the composition of an ion selective membrane. The experiment conducted used the same plasticizer which is benzyl acetate (BA), and the same ratio of the component; 5.0:30.0:2.0:63.0 (Th:PVC:NaTPB:BA) by weight percentage; where Th is thiazole derivatives, PVC is polyvinyl chloride, NaTPB is sodium tetraphenylborate and BA is benzyl acetate. These components are acting as ionophore, polymeric matrix, ionic additive and plasticizer respectively. The Nernstian response for Cd2+ that obtained the best response with 26.96 mV/decade is when thiazole derivative of 2-chloroaniline is used as ionophore. The linear working range for this response is 1.0×10^-6 to 1.0×10^-3.

INVENTION Local Bacterial Isolates for Chemical War Agent-Degrading Enzyme Production

RESEARCH FIELD


Organophosphate poisoning is a serious cause for concern, especially when organophoshate-based chemical nerve agents such as VX, Sarin and Tabun are used as chemical war agents or in terrorist attacks. Even though the production and use of nerve agents are banned worldwide, their uses as chemical weapons are still frequently reported. Since these chemicals are very toxic but relatively easy to acquire, the availability of a compound that can neutralize and/or degrade them is essential for the contamination management. In line with this issue, a research to identify local bacterial isolates that are capable of producing an organophosphate-degrading enzyme known as phosphotriesterase (PTE) to be used in pre and post nerve agent exposure treatments is carried out. Soil samples from several types (palm, rice and rubber) of plantations were collected and screened for degradation of an organophosphate (Malathion) and 9 different species of bacteria that are capable of hydrolyzing organophosphate compounds to harmless substances were isolated. These bacteria will be then further characterized to explore the possibility to mass produce the PTE enzyme and use it as an active ingredient for pre and post treatments of nerve agent exposure incidents.

INVENTION Opinion Mining Technique for Student Feedback Analysis Using Lexicon Based Approach

RESEARCH FIELD


Opinion mining is an interesting research area as it represents an individual’s ideas, belief, assessment, and evaluation of his/her surroundings, which can be used as guidance by other individuals, or by organisations and communities during their decision-making processes. This study explores opinion mining technique to determine the polarity of a student’s feedback as it has substantial significance for measuring the quality of lecturers’ teaching skills. Due to differing opinions being expressed in unstructured texts, it is impossible to manually summarise these information. Most online lecturer teaching assessment systems are focused on the quantitative part of the questionnaire since it is easy to analyse. On the contrary, the qualitative part, which requires students’ textual feedbacks, is often omitted and neglected, and the level of opinion results are excluded. To address this problem, a system that could automatically analyse students’ textual feedbacks was developed. This system applies an opinion mining technique to reveal the teaching assessment results, which are underpinned by sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis is a common textual data quantification method that can analyse the sentiment tendency of a student’s textual feedback. A database of English sentiment words, known as the Vader Lexicon, was utilised as a lexical source to determine the polarity of words. By analysing the sentiment words, which included intensifier words extracted from students’ textual feedbacks, the system was able to determine the opinion results of the lecturer teaching assessment by describing the level of positive, negative, or neutral opinions. This system was also able to present the opinion results in an improved form of graphical user interface. Ultimately, this newly developed system will provide useful information to educational organisations for improving lecturers’ teaching skills and course materials as well.

INVENTION Developing A Systematic Framework Assessment Tool and Model for Military Combat Readiness

RESEARCH FIELD

National Security

Militaries worldwide foresee the military force as coercive arms to be the eventual measure of power because military capabilities enable countries to act against internal and external threats. Malaysia’s military forces including other security agencies lack a model of framework and an assessment instrument as a means of combat readiness to measure individual and collective team preparedness before deploying for any operations including international peacekeeping operations and human disaster relief operations within the country. The current combat preparedness of security agencies is in piece meal assessment working is silos which often create discrepancies and compatibility issues especially when they are required to work in cohesiveness during a combat operation for both local and international duties. A systematic approach of assessment for all security forces must be developed to address such issues and challenges especially when required to as very often they are required to join forces in working together in concert with other forces for operations. Using a mixed-method approach the research will investigate the factors on the current assessment of combat readiness for most security forces prior for combat duties and eventually proposing a systematic model and framework assessment for combat readiness which can be used by all security forces in Malaysia especially when working together in combined and joint operations. The aim of this research is to address the current gap of assessment in security forces and propose a systematic model and developing an assessment instrument to determine the combat readiness for all security forces in Malaysia namely Malaysian Army, Royal Malaysian Air Force, Royal Malaysian Navy, Royal Malaysian Police, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and other relevant security forces in Malaysia to work in cohesion and provide some distinctive operations procedures as an agency or in teams working together in any operations both local and international duties.

INVENTION A safe, halal and ecofriendly wax for army camo face paint

RESEARCH FIELD


The army camouflage face paint that is currently used by Malaysian military personnel contains ingredients that might be harmful to them. Commonly used chemicals like propylene glycol and mineral oil are side products from petroleum refining process thus may contain harmful impurities while paraben as preservative interrupts hormones in the body's cells. In the proposed product, food grade chemicals and vegetable fats are used. The ingredients for this camouflage face paint are vegetable oils, beeswax, plant-based glycerin, shea butter and , and food dyes. In addition to retaining moisture content in the skin, beeswax helps to preserve wax structure and acts a natural antibacterial agent. Since the food colorings used are edible, it is expected the products will not be toxic to the skin. Preliminary characterizations indicate that these vegetable oil based color waxes have similar properties compared to that of the commercialized product which is currently used by the army.

Specifically, it aimed at investing the strategies to prolong the asset life cycle which improved the asset performance and opportunities for cost savings. The motivation for conducting this study was driven by the inadequate findings in the literature concerning asset management related to aging asset. Due to this insufficiency, a new research stream was proposed to address the gap by investigating the strategies that may better explain aging asset management. Accordingly, this study explored different theories such as the Product Life Cycle Theory, the Life Cycle Costing Theory, the Renewal Theory, the Replacement Theory and the Integrated Logistics Support Approach to identify the components in developing a new framework for aging asset management. This study engaged a multiple-case studies approach. 29 research participants were interviewed , and related documents were selected for primary data collection. Data from the interview and the related documents were analysed by using the content analysis technique before it was cross -analysed to determine the pattern. Then the findings were discussed and theoretically validated to produce a conceptual framework. The conceptual framework was validated through a Subject Matter Expert focus group to produce the final framework. The results revealed that by implementing life extension, obsolescence management and refit in managing aging asset, the organization improved the aging asset performance and had the opportunities for costsavings . This study also found that the current asset management framework was not applicable in aging asset management. Therefore, this study offers a new aging asset management framework and activities model in every stage of asset life. Finally, contibutions to the literature, the industry and the Government policy, and recommendations for future research were discussed.

INVENTION Bulk Meter Servicing (BMS) Program for Cleaner Drinking Water Supply and Better Solid Waste Management in Selangor

RESEARCH FIELD


Pipeline is the most efficient way of water distribution for public purpose. Demand for water is inclined due to modernization and industrialization in Selangor. Thus, increase demand of more water meter supplies in this state. Corrosion can occur and corroded metals may be transported over a long distances in the underground steel pipelines. This could be even worse if salt water and sulphur are present. Therefore, potable water quality is affected and unsafe for public consumption. In fact, potable water meters tend to deteriorate with age, and as the results, meter would read the water consumption inaccurately. Inaccurate readings is not allowable since it causes loses in terms of income to water concessionaires. This will affects information about water usage which impacts system audits and leak detection efforts. In this case, water meters which are used to read and measure water consumption would be treated as waste because they are no longer accurate. In this study, 200 units of water meters are selected to undergo site inspection and site servicing for the BMS program. The performances of water meters are compared based on two categories; i) data collected from secondary resources of meter sent to meter store for disposal and ii) data collected after the implementation of BMS activities. For category (i) analysis is mainly based on the trending of quantity of water meters sent to the meter stores whereas category (ii) rely on consumption differences, billing amounts and water quality for 3 months of operations. The SWOT analysis is also conducted to ensure the BMS program can be recommended for future benefits in order to reduce the massive number of old water meters as solid wastes. The BMS program is highly potential to improve solid waste management, reduce risk of human health problems and economically cost saving.

INVENTION Polymer Based Nanoparticles Modified Electrode as Chemiresistive Aptasensor for Application in Detection of Selective Chemical Nerve Gas Agent


Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) known as one of significant threats towards human bodies and being marked as a weapon with mass destruction. CWAs can be divided into two main groups such as G-series and V-series. Sarin gas is in G-series group along with tabun, soman and cyclosarin. G-series group is commonly come in hazardous vapour and enable to dissipate rapidly in wider area while mainly attack the inhalation part of body. Due to this effect, a sensor with an ability to quickly detect, monitor and identify gas is in urge of need. Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) is a simulant of sarin used due to its much lower toxicity while having almost similar chemical structure. Previous research has been reported that polypyrrole material has high sensitivity towards gases of volatile organic compound and easily to prepare. To increase the selectivity of the sensor, we proposed to use an aptamer as a DMMP molecular capture. Polypyrrole nanoparticles was mixed with iron oxyhydroxide and being drop-cast on the interdigitated electrode to avoid contact resistance between the particles and electrode surface. Aptamer was added on top of these materials as a capture to the DMMP molecules. The polypyrrole, iron oxyhydroxide, aptamer and electrode were the main elements in the fabrication of this chemiresistor aptasensor. The data and results obtained from previous work reported have proven that sensor with the presence of these elements able to detect the occurrence of DMMP accurately.

Konflik yang berlaku di sempadan Syria-Turki sehingga kini masih berterusan dan secara jelas ianya mengancam keselamatan nasional serta antarabangsa.Walaupun kedua-dua buah negara pernah menjadi sekutu rapat tetapi isu-isu seperti kewujudan pemberontak Syria, jumlah pelarian yang terlalu ramai di Turki, kewujudan pemberontak Kurdish yang menentang Turki di Syria dan penularan militant DAESH memburukkan lagi hubungan dua hala negara tersebut. Penglibatan kuasa besar iaitu Amerika Syarikat dan Rusia yang bertindak sebagai proxi tidak membantu menyelesaikan masalah ini secara keseluruhan. Militan DAESH yang berpengkalan di Syria merupakan ancaman global yang wujud sehingga kini. Ancaman DAESH di sempadan Syria-Turki merupakan contoh betapa pentingnya menjaga sempadan negara dari penularan ideologi dan kebangkitan kumpulan ini. Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa sempadan negara merupakan antara tunggak kedaulatan serta keamanan dalam sesebuah negara. Sebelum ini tidak ada kajian yang menyeluruh yang dilakukan berkenaan persempadanan negara terutama isu militant DAESH di Utara Semenanjung Malaysia.

INVENTION Palm oil emulsion formulation as a base for a chemical warfare agent reactive skin decontamination lotion

RESEARCH FIELD

National Security

Organophosphorus compounds (OPs), which are very toxic and widely used as insecticides and occasionally exploited as chemical warfare agents, become a major threat for both civilians and military. Since the compounds penetrate human skin effectively, the body surface decontamination is vital to prevent victims poisoning. One of the treatments proposed for after dermal exposure is to use a reactive skin decontamination lotion. However, currently accessibility of this product for Malaysian defence and security agencies is limited due to its costs and availability as the lotion is an imported product. As a part of our attempt to produce our own, we have successfully prepared and characterized a palm oil emulsion that can be further developed into a reactive skin decontamination lotion using locally available chemicals. The characterizations indicate that the emulsion is stable and not contaminated by fungi, and maintains its pH and emulsion structure homogeneity, during the six month-storage observation. In addition to incorporating OP chelating and degradation agents to develop a skin reactive decontamination lotion, the possibility of exploiting the emulsion as cosmetic products will be also carried out.

INVENTION Virtual Reality (VR) Technology for Map Terrain Visualization in Military

RESEARCH FIELD


This research is concerned with application of 3D Geographic Information System (GIS) to broaden

military experience on terrain visualization during rehearsal of operation. In current years, the need

for 3D information is rapidly increasing since 2D GIS has its own limitation in some situation. The

developments in the area of 3D GIS are pushed by a growing need for 3D information from one

side and new technologies on the other side. With more and more concerned of the 3D GIS, the 3D

application system receives quick support from the application units because it is more realistic than

the 2D in visual. Compared with 2D GIS, 3D GIS provides a more abundant and more realistic

platform in displaying of spatial information, which to visualize difficult spatial information. The

availability of 3D representation tools has increased the demand for 3D terrain visualization. 3D

terrain visualization of GIS has been generated to build on the better representations of current

environments in efficient real-time.

Terrain visualization techniques will help military to imagine actual operation in better approach and

improve limitation of visualization. Therefore, the aim of this research is to enhance the current

method of terrain map interpretation using 3D Visualization using Virtual Reality (VR) technology.

Techniques will be discussed in this research will have their own strength and weakness which will

aid to solve the weakness of current terrain model being used in military rehearsal techniques. This

research will help military to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of VR visualization

approach of 3D terrain in order to improve developing graphic to mirroring the actual plan.

INVENTION Circular Plasma Reflector Antenna (CPRA)

RESEARCH FIELD

The 4th state of matter with complex permittivity that can be exploited to offer advantages in communication system is known as plasma. Its negative permittivity has been studied in many research papers and it was proven to have similar characteristics as metal material in terms of electrical conductivity. While keeping permeability in the positive region, plasma will respond to electromagnetic waves in the similar manner as metal. Therefore, this project aimed to use plasma as an alternative to metal in the construction of reconfigurable antennas. The first part of this project is dedicated to characterizing a plasma model based on the commercially available plasma source. The second part presents the realization of plasma reflector antennas. A unique plasma reflector antenna has been simulated, fabricated and measured at 2.4 GHz and this antenna is named as circular plasma reflector antenna (CPRA). The CRA that has been introduced in this project is a novel design since it integrates compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) on a single ground plane. The CPRA offers more than one beam shape which are electrically switchable from one shape to another and this beam switching can be used for 360-degree scanning purposes with small HPBW as small as 27 degree. The CPRA was simulated, fabricated and finally its performances were validated throughout a series of agile measurements. The measured reflected radiation patterns are in good agreements with the simulation ones. The measured gains of CPRA is 4 dB higher than the gain of classical monopole antenna with an identical size of finite ground plane.

INVENTION Explosive Pressing and Compaction Machine: Able to press/compact specimen beyond 10,000 Ton

RESEARCH FIELD


In Malaysia, most powder metallurgy laboratory in Public University (UA) has 10 ton pressing

machine for pressing powder. Most Universal Testing Machine (UTM) in UA is limited to 300 ton

press machine. The heaviest press machine is 800 ton press forge belong to a company in

Balakong. At university level, High Velocity Compaction (HVC) is used to press samples beyond

300 ton press. However HVC is not available in Malaysia. There is one HVC in Tohoku University,

Japan. The maximum press force for one inch diameter specimen is 6800 ton. Earlier FRGS project

(FRGS 9003-00542) used explosive method to press iron powder. Using 2 kg of emulsion

explosive, the press force achieved more than 100,000 ton press. The pressed iron powder has

superior hardness and material properties as compared to most metal. The research leads to a new

method for manufacturing of heavy press product which is much cheaper than traditional heavy

press machine. This project is aligned with Chapter 6 in National Defence Policy is "Supporting

National Defence Industry". Direct outcome from this project is development of armor plate for army

tanks. As for academic sector, this is a frontier technology as no known research institution in

ASEAN region has done pressing beyond the limits of UTM machine. With this explosive pressing /

compaction equipment, Malaysia can be a leader for material pressing beyond 10,000 ton press

which is much cheaper than traditional heavy press machine. Many postgraduates’ students can be

borne by using this apparatus. This apparatus is a result from collaboration between the lead

Now days, in Malaysia B-40 is the important issues need looking forward to give attention for harmonies well-being. The problem of poverty in Malaysia has a focus an area of public concern and the elimination of poverty has become a national goal. This research focus on the expenditure patterns of B-40 household. Schools, educational institution and household could be determined for humanities society affairs. In this study, poverty for low or middle income and expenditure behavior in Malaysia has become an area of public concern and the elimination of poverty has being a national goal. Hence, a substantial amount of useful data exists, there is a lack of research which analyzes the income and expenditure behavior among B-40 Malaysian, and how that pattern can give effect on food security consumption. In developing countries like Malaysia, poses a threat to food security. With growing population growth, demand for food is expected to increase by 70 to 100% by 2050. Consequently, food security needs to be given more serious attention as it is an important element in Malaysia's economic growth while meeting the basic needs of millions especially those with the B-40 income group. It seeks to provide estimates of the differences in the reaction of expenditures on five budget categories as well as differences in the reaction of expenditure on these categories to changes in income for B-40 households of differing characteristics. Household characteristics are a major factor in determining the way and behavior of household consumption. It’s because, households are different according to size; age; race, education, and job status of the head of household; and other features. In general, it is hoped that households with different characteristics will have different features of use. Although there are many empirical studies that have been made regarding the pattern of household consumption, there have been no attempts to study the effects of household characteristics, on food, clothing, household size and impact on the food security for a long-term effect in big data overview.

INVENTION Automated human age at death estimation system from long bones histology

RESEARCH FIELD


Determination of human age after death from their bone cells is an important and frequent

requirement in current forensic sciences and in developing demographic profiles. Over the past two

decades, many areas in biological sciences have turned from traditional manual data collection to

digitally automated data collection. This has been brought about by the introduction of faster

computers and inexpensive digitizing equipment. One area of biological science that has not

benefited from digital automation is that of micro bone structure analysis. Micro bone structure

analysis can be used to determine the age of humans at death from a mid-shaft slice of femur, tibia

or fibula bones, obtained from autopsy material.

The aim of this study is to facilitate forensic experts in crime scene investigation and disaster victim

identification by developing a system that can estimate human age at death automatically and can

store the information in digital database which can be used for further research.

Even though histological methods of age estimation has been proven beneficial over morphological


methods, yet manual observation of bone microstructures is a time consuming process and can

lead to increase the observer error. These limitation could be reduced by automating the process of

observation and computation with the help of digital equipment and computer algorithms. This study

is dedicated to investigate the characteristics of human long bone microstructures with increasing

age in Malaysian population, addressing the complication of Malaysian histological age at death

estimation method and rectifying those complications by developing automatic histological age

estimation system for Malaysian population.

Unlike traditional manual methods, automated system has been developed, that can automatically

find the relation of bone microstructures with increasing age, generate age regression equation that

can be updated with inclusion of new samples and automatically estimate human age at death from

bone microstructures of Malaysian population. The system has the capability to store the

information of bone histological and morphological parameters in digital database for further

analysis. The automatic system has been tested to estimate human age after death from

morphological parameters (cortical thickness, medullar cavity) and histological parameters

(Haversian canal parameters). The system successfully generated age regression equation and

estimated the age within 8 years of range for Malaysian population. The results of automatic system

were compared to existing manual techniques and it was concluded that the automatic system is

robust, time efficient and more accurate compare to manual techniques.

INVENTION Shoulder Air Bag

RESEARCH FIELD


Shoulder Air Bag (SAB) is a patient positioning device invented with a purpose for elevating patient’s shoulder from operation table and thus providing neck extension. It is indicated to position a patient during tonsillectomy, thyroidectomy and maxillofacial related procedures. It comprises an irrigation fluid bag with one inlet and outlet, characterised by the inlet that is connected to a hand-held pump to inflate the bag with air for adjusting the positioning of a patient who lies on the bag. The inlet is connected to the hand-held pump with an elongated flexible tube, where the elongated flexible tube has two ends and a hollow extending between the two ends. Before surgery, flattened irrigation bag will be placed onto operation table and cover with underpad; a patients moves onto operation table and the bag will be adjusted under the patient’s shoulder. After induction of anaesthesia, irrigation fluid bag will be inflated with hand-held pump, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to close. The pressure of the irrigation fluid bag will be monitored every thirty minutes. After surgery, the irrigation fluid bag will be deflated by turning the adjusting screw anticlockwise and the patient’s body weight will flatten the irrigation fluid bag. SAB improves patient safety as the patients will be positioned before induction of anaesthesia. This prevents excessive movement that may lead to dislodgement of endotracheal tube, which is patient’s only source of oxygen from anaesthesia machine. As the patient still awake during positioning, only one operating room personnel is required to position a patient and this will save time. In addition, irrigation fluid bag is cost-effective and its flexibility does not create pressure points which impede blood circulation that may damage body parts. SAB provides a cheaper, adjustable, easy to use alternative which simplifies patient positioning procedures and improves patient safety.

Preventing fires should be the responsibility of every person especially the head of the household. But the purpose of this intended invention is more for `escape’ should a fire occur with no lessening emphasis on preventing the fire in the first place. If a person is already trapped in a fired at the second or third floor of a home, this device would allow quick escape via the bedroom window as long as the person is able bodied. Other people like the handicapped, crippled, young children and elderly will be equipped with other devices that would need the assistance of an able bodied person to help them escape. The only escape route from a linked house for people trapped in the bedrooms upstairs is via the windows or balcony at the back and in front of the house. There is not route at the sides of the house for the intermediate units. This invention would come with guidelines for using the device and a program to assist in `fire drill’ for the whole family, the first of which would be conducted by the company handling the device. As such the use of this device, the protocol for it’s usage and the education of the public as well as housing developers should go hand in hand which means that there has to be a training of the trainer and a training of the people using the device. Eventually, this would be a multi-sectorial approach involving the fire department, the inventors, housing developers, engineers and educators.

INVENTION Application of Novel Cellulose-Kevlar Nanocomposite for Military Helmet and Plate of Armour Vest


Cellulose Micro Nano Fibre (CMNF) was successfully extracted from various plants (banana pseudo stem, pineaple leaf, Resak, Merbau wastes and rice straw using acid and alkaline treatments. Peaks of functional group analysis is in the range of 1310-1320cm-1 which indicate the presence of cellulose I. The percentage of CMNF crystallinity was in the range of 70%-80% and the crystallite size of CMNF particles ranges between 5-10 nm. The best processing method for mixing the CMNF in epoxy resin is prepared by hand lay-up method to produce CMNF – Kevlar composites. The highest CMNF/epoxy/Kevlar composites mechanical strength achieved is 591.24 MPa which is three times stronger than that of Kevlar-29, (181.19 MPa). Nanoindentation test shows that reduce modulus (Er) and hardness of CMNF nanocomposite increases 28.25% and 0.6% respectively compared to those of neat epoxy. Degassing agent content and sonication period are found to be the most significant factors that affect the fracture toughness of CMNF/epoxy composites. The optimum fracture toughness is achieved when the degassing agent content, stirring period and sonication period are at 1.34 wt. %, 5 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. Preparation of a prototype of armour plates and military helmets used only 19 layers (commercially 28 layers) of CMNF/epoxy/Kevlar composites are used to prepare a prototype of military helmet. The ballistic impact test shows that the plate of armour vest produced withstands 9 mm ammunition impact at the velocity range of 320 m/s to 440 m/s and the military helmet prototype at the velocity range of 330 m/s to 360 m/s. CMNF/epoxy plate at the centre of the composite requires twice energy to break and has higher impact resistant compared to those of the other positions. The inclusion of CMNF in the epoxy enhances the impact resistance by double & rigidity of the composite.

INVENTION Portable Stress Biosensor

RESEARCH FIELD


Army personnel are at risk of experiencing stress due to the nature of their job. Stress has been demonstrated to have great impact on physical performance and combat readiness. Continuous monitoring of stress levels through regular assessments therefore is paramount important. Currently the methods of assessing stress levels are through questionnaires or laboratory tests. These methods however, are respondent-dependent, need trained medical personnel and are time consuming. The laboratory test also requires complex instrumentations and sample processing and labourious. The innovation: We have invented a prototype to detect cortisol in standard solution and human serum. The prototype will be further modified to measure blood cortisol level to detect stress level in human at the point of care. It consists of two major components: modified screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and portable electrochemical potentiostat reader (PEPR). It can detect cortisol in standard solution and human serum in a wide linear range of 0.001 μg/mL to 10μg/mL. The range covers cortisol levels during normal and stress situations.

INVENTION Automated Fire Safety Inspection System Based On AI

RESEARCH FIELD


Damaged wires and refrigerant leakage are most common causes of fire breakouts in dilapidated buildings or old malls. Preventive inspection for early detection of these faults is usually neglected as it requires highly trained specialists to conduct the inspection and incurs high cost. In this project, we proposed a real-time mobile safety inspection system. This system consists of an artificial intelligent (AI) unit which integrates multiple sensors to detect any typical gases and also damaged wirings. Our system is able to access to the platform at where the electrical wires are installed by transforming its shape to be able to sneak around and adapt at the congested and limited space. The system consists two main parts. The main body consists of batteries, motherboard, motors, wheels and etc. An expandable tube with installation of mini camera and sensors at the tip of the tube, is connected to the main body. The tube is elongated with the air supply to enable sensors to reach the certain areas which are not reachable by the whole robot. Our system is intelligent with capability to sense hazard based on the situation given based on previous data recorded in the memory. Once nascent situation is detected, the system will send a warning signal to the operators. In order for the operators to have the first hand information of the search area, a video camera can be installed.

INVENTION Synthesis of Antidotes Conjugation of Oximes for Chemical Warfare Agents

RESEARCH FIELD


Organophosphate compounds (OPs) are widely used as pesticides, softening agents, lubricant additives and therapeutic agents. Some OPs are declared as nerve agents such as sarin, soman, tabun, cyclosarin, O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothionate (VX) and Russian VX. The history of these compounds began before World War II in Germany. OPs compounds act by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is fundamental for the control of nervouse impulses transmission. As the result of AChE inhibition, the over accumulation of acetylcholine (ACh) at cholinergic receptor sites produces continuous stimulation of cholinergic nerves throughout the central and pheripheral nervous system which causes several cholinergic crises, seizures, respiratory arrest and fatal. It is well known that oximes are effective for the reactivation of OPs-inhibited AChE. 2-pyridinealdoxime (2-PAM) is one of the most favored reactivators of inhibited AChE. However, AChE activity in the central nervous system (CNS) was not significant. 2-PAM cannot penetrate into the CNS because the blood brain barrier (BBB). The BBB only allows free diffusion of small lipophilic and uncharged molecules. It was reported that, the BBB penetration of 2-PAM was approximately only 10%. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to develop a new reactivator that can easily penetrate the BBB. Novel conjugation of glucose-oximes is a great approach to increase the BBB penetration. This is because, the presence of the sugar moiety would be recognised by the facilitative glucose transporter in BBB. Thus, higher reactivation potency of inhibited AChE could be achieved. The conjugate of glucose and 2-PAM will be characterized and identified by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis. The relatively high reactivation activities will be examined by in vitro and in vivo study using rat. The limit of detection, quantification range and linearity of the calibration curve of the 2-PAM reactivator will also be determined. This glucose-oxime conjugate holds great promise for the medical treatment of OPs poisoning in CNS.

INVENTION Trapped Vortex Miniature Liquid Fuel Combustor

RESEARCH FIELD


Miniature power generation that used a miniature liquid fuel combustor required confine combustion inside the combustor chamber. Higher heat loss, weak fuel vaporization rate and low mixing residence time becoming problems to confined the flame. Thus a new method is used to overcome the issue by using novel reverse vortex trapped combustor. It consists of two parts, top part consists of the double chamber (inner tube and outer tube) and at the bottom, a vortex-trapped chamber is attached to anchor the flame. A combustor was operated using n-heptane liquid fuel at fuel flow rate of 1.0 ml/min to 2.5 ml/min and air flow rate of 7.0 l/min to 20.0 l/min. Results showed a confined combustion was obtained inside the combustor chamber at fuel lean regime. Combustion confinement was demonstrated through enhancement of fuel vaporization rate, increase in mixing residence time and mixing rate. This is attributed to flow and heat recirculation.

INVENTION BEASMART: Smart Library System using Beacon Technology

RESEARCH FIELD


Library is one of the important place in any educational institution. Normally in a library, books are organized in shelves based on the categorization and classification of subjects. However, there is a lot of movement of these books in and out of the library’s shelves. Therefore, there is possibility that these books become misplaced. When such misplacement of books occurs, it becomes challenging for both librarians and users to search books. Although the OPAC or an online library management system provides book-racks and access numbers, it is always difficult to find the rack, especially in huge libraries. This scenario can become worse if the books are misplaced. This research aims to provide a working prototype that integrate an IOT technology to the traditional library system to provide IOT based Smart Library System with capabilities to issue, return and even track book-racks using a smart phone. BEASMART is a smart range detector and is equipped with user-friendly mobile application and integrated Beacon technology or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors to navigate the library users to the desired book’s location by using a smart phone application. Therefore, the book can be found via smart phones. With the full integration of IOT into the library management system makes both the library users and staff’ s task easy , smart, convenient and practical.

INVENTION Palm Olein Liquid Soap for CWA Decontamination (POLS-DECON)

RESEARCH FIELD


Decontamination is an important stage in a management of chemical warfare agent (CWA) incidents to avoid any further contamination. The common process of the decontamination is typically to use a soap solution to remove the chemicals from the contaminated surfaces. However, the decontamination using this solution may not be effective means as the chemicals may be still active, therefore the waste solution is dangerous to be discarded. Hence, the aims of this project are to synthesize and characterise a palm oil-based liquid soap that can be used as a base for synthesizing an effective CWA decontamination soap. The soaps were synthesised by treating the oil sample with a saponification agent and characterized by studying its physicochemical properties such as pH value, foam stability, viscosity, moisture content and cleaning effectiveness. The best formulation of the POLS-DECON requires, in addition to palm oil as a major component, a small amount of coconut oil. The characterization showed that it has comparable properties to those of the commercial liquid soaps and is suitable to be used as a base soap for adding active ingredients that can deactivate and degrade the CWAs into nontoxic compounds.

INVENTION Vegetable Oil Solid Soap for Organophosphate Deactivation Active Ingredient Matrix of A Decontamination Agent

RESEARCH FIELD


Organophosphates are widely used as pesticides in agricultural industry and due to their high toxicity, they are also frequently developed as chemical nerve agents which are used in wars and terrorist attacks. When these toxic compounds are released into the environment, in addition to inhaling process, they can enter our body through skin penetration. Since organophosphate poisonings are very harmful and can be associated with health risks which can worsen to cause loss of life, immediate and effective decontamination is crucial. Decontamination of organophosphates using ordinary soap solutions may remove away and dilute the chemicals but does not capable to neutralize and destroy them. For preliminary stage, this project aimed to synthesized and characterized solid soaps from palm olein and virgin coconut oil. The best formulation of soap produced will be further modified to incorporate active ingredients that capable to capture and degrade the nerve agents extracted from contaminated surfaces so that the washing liquid wastes are safe to be discharged into the environment.

INVENTION Recognising Student’s Attention Level Using Brain-Computer Interfaces

RESEARCH FIELD


During the learning process in classes and lectures, the ability of students to concentrate on the learning material greatly influences their learning efficacy. However, it proves to be difficult to obtain the attentiveness of the students by just their physical expressions. With the development of brain computer interfaces, the student’s attention level can be captured. Therefore, by analysing the student’s attention levels, the lecturers are able to modify their teaching style and remind the students to remain focus. This is to ensure that the students are able to learn attentively. This project recognises the student’s attention level by analysing the brainwave signals from the EEG sensor. This is done by using a brainwave controlled robot as an attention level indicator by using forward-chaining algorithm. Forward-chaining algorithm will analyze the alpha and beta brainwave signals and translate the waves pattern into commands. The robot can moves forward and backward depending on the levels of the attention. This project can be applied in various applications such as sport, health, education and military. In health, it can help patients to move their wheelchair by using brainwave signals. In sports, it can improve an athlete’s peak performance to perform at their best. Meanwhile, in military, it can improve cognitive abilities of a soldier. While in education, students can maximise their learning potentials and improve attention in class.

INVENTION Blaststop

RESEARCH FIELD


Steel beams and columns usually incorporate protective systems, such as fire protection. Some of these protective systems, e.g. intumescent coating, do not have any energy absorption ability; therefore, the effects of blast are directly and completely imposed on the steel structure. However, some systems, such as fire protection systems in which boards are used and there is some space between the fire protection and the steel structure, the protective system may have some energy absorption capacity to reduce the effects of blast on the steel structure. In the market, there are many types of gypsum boards available. The strongest available gypsum boards are impact resistant gypsum boards. From the blast test, the impact rated board have small energy absorption capacity. The improved boards, Blaststop board, has been tested and can withstand a blast over-pressure from 400g of Amulex at distance 500 mm without any surface deterioration.

INVENTION Harvesting Ocean Energy in Sabah Remote Islands using Floating Wave Energy Converter

RESEARCH FIELD


Sabah is known worldwide for its beautiful islands that attract tourist all year round. At the same time, it is also frequently being targeted by kidnapping pirates who made a living out of the ransoms paid. One of the ways to protect the islands is by locating military and police personals on every islands to patrol and guard the islands from the attack of the pirates. However, some islands are very remote and only depend on diesel generators which provide them with a limited hours of electricity supply based on the diesel ration received on a regular basis. Due to the limited electricity supply, the personnel on the islands are not able to live comfortably on the during their assignments. The ocean surrounding them is actually a huge storage of energy in the form of ocean waves. The energy from the waves is present during day and night and all year round, but remains unutilised. Hence, this project investigates a device called Floating Wave Energy Converter (WEC) to harvest energy from the waves and converts into electricity to be used by the personnel on the islands. This is a new form of clean and renewable energy replacing the energy generated from the diesel generators.

INVENTION Car Crash Notifier With Geographic Coordinator Using Android Application

RESEARCH FIELD


In the event of an accident involving the victim being unconscious, of course the victim will not be able to contact the security to get help immediately. Typically, witnesses at the scene would make an emergency call to inform on the accident. Similarly, a family member or close relative of the victim, will be informed immediately about the accident. This will be even more serious if there is no witness at the accident scene and the victim is alone when the accident occurred. The security shall be notified immediately so that it is possible for a witness who saw the accident. This would cause a delay in the delivery of emergency assistance to the victims. Hence, this product will function as a transmitter of customized alerts.

Notify Crash System is one alternative for motorists to help themselves or accident victims during accidents by using mobile smartphones available on most road users. By using this system, users no longer need to type messages to inform the victims’ next-of-kin. The phone will automatically notify the next-of-kin, as well as emergency services and will also identify the location as Global technology Positioning System (GPS) is loaded into the application of the developed system. It is hoped that this system will contribute to road users for performance and quality of road safety.

INVENTION Surfactant Biocatalyst By Newly Isolated Bacteria For Decolourization Of Recalcitrant Textile Dyes

RESEARCH FIELD


Pollution by dyes effluent is becoming increasingly alarming with the increasing use of a wide variety of dyes by the textile and the dyestuff industries. Textile dyes are recalcitrant molecules and may contain a high level of chemicals, BOD, COD, pH and colour which poses a major threat to aquatic environments, killing or adversely affecting fish and other aquatic organisms. In the current scenario, microbial treatment offers an indispensable, eco-friendly and cost-effective solution towards restoring dye polluted ecosystems and could help to reduce the enormous water consumption compared to physicochemical methods. Therefore, the aims of this study are to scrutinize the utilization of renewable substrate by new isolated for biosurfactant production to decolorize textile dyes. In this study, 5 bacteria (KH1, KH2, KH4, KH5 and KH7) successfully isolated from textile effluent were cultivated in molasses to produce biosurfactant. Emulsification index (E24), hemolytic activity and oil displacement technique were used as a preliminary screening for potential biosurfactant bacteria. The determination of microbial phytotoxicity will also be conducted. The best result was obtained with potential isolates grown in mineral medium

supplemented with 7.0 % w/v molasses for 72 h at 40 ℃ 130 rpm. Emulsification index (E24), haemolytic activity and oil displacement technique revealed that KH1 had the highest E24 of 67%, diameter greater than 1 cm and 25 mm respectively. The performance of decolorization achieved 100% of efficiency using KH1 as dye degrading bacteria.

An electroencephalography (EEG) device called Mindwave Mobile has been used to obtain data on brainwave generated in terms of attention level, blink detection and eyebrow movement. There are five aspects of robot movement namely forward (F), right (R), left (L), backward (B) and stop (S). The movement of the integrated robot can be controlled by the level of attention and the mode of the robot movement is selected by the blink detection to move forward, right, left or backward. Stop movement can be selected when the user lifts up the eyebrow as the poor quality signal is produced. By doing this research, the improvement of integrated robot’s movement using BCI system can be done.

INVENTION RIVERPROTEC

RESEARCH FIELD


The purpose of developing the RiverProtec from these biocomposite materials comes from the issue of protecting the riverbanks from water erosion and scouring. Current Protection systems are using mangrove pile also known as ‘Bakau Pile’ and a steel Protection system known as ‘sheet pile’. The bakau pile are using mangrove trunk due to its excellent properties serving underwater as erosion and scouring barrier. However, the dimensional design of mangrove trunks which are cylindrical in shape thus permitting some penetration by the river current making the barrier less effective to Protect the riverbanks against scouring effect. In another view, reports from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage has indicated that natural mangrove pile can only last for approximately 6 months before being decayed due to wet and dry climate cycle and it is imperative that a substitute material could be found as replacement of natural mangrove piles. Furthermore, the use of mangrove trunk as riverbank scouring Protector has claimed the coastal ecosystem in the mangrove forest and weakens the natural coastal Protection system against tidal waves and tsunamis. Steel sheet pile, pre-cast concrete are the existing retaining structure for river channel forming a riverbank Protection system. However, the cost per unit of steel sheet pile and pre-cast concrete retaining structure could reach thousands of Ringgit per meter run. Furthermore, sheet pile and pre-cast concrete retaining structure installation methods are very costly due to involvement of a number of heavy machineries such as lifting crane and pile driving machines and also transportation of these piles are difficult to deliver to project sites. Nuclear Malaysia has the knowledge and know how on the production of Agro-fibres polymer composite materials. The blend of Agro-fibres such as oil palm fibres, rubberwood fibres, coconut fibres, kenaf etc with polymeric materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene have been well established and used by Nuclear Malaysia to develop end products. Compounds for the RiverProtec are one of such products that can be produced by Nuclear Malaysia using the facilities that are available at the polymer processing facility of the Radiation Processing Technology Division of Nuclear Malaysia. The development of the RiverProtec from Agrofibres-plastic composite could provide a cost effective solution as well as preserving the precious natural mangrove forest along Malaysia’s coastal area. The unique design feature of this product also provides an easy installation method and has a good river current barrier system due to its innovative interlocking system. Riverprotec has been developed to serve as an alternative riverbank scouring protection system to replace the usage of mangrove piles which is a green technology and easy handling. The development of Riverprotec from agrofibers-plastic composite could provide a cost effective solution as well as preserving the precious natural mangrove forest along Malaysia’s coastal area.

INVENTION Duipers

RESEARCH FIELD


Duipers is a device that can be inserted into any conventional diaper to read moisture levels and able to send a notification to a programmed smart phone through Internet of Things (IoT). Duipers is an innovation that eases healthcare in hospitals for nurses that are taking care of coma patients and immobile senior citizens. To invent the device, we used a software called Arduino to programme a motherboard or ‘brain’ of the device. A moisture sensor is connected to the motherboard and will read moisture levels when dry, moist or wet. When the readings are in the ‘wet’ range, the motherboard will send a signal to the cloud (a place where data is stored using the internet. A custom-made application on a smartphone that is connected to the cloud will receive the data and will trigger a notification. The moisture sensor can sense moisture on a scale of 0-950, where 0-50 is dry, 51-200 is moist, and above 200 is considered wet. Many tests have been conducted and results show that there was no problem with the readings of the sensor. Tests were done using moist soil and water, and has been successful every time. Internet connectivity is also a main factor that may change the results and timing of the notification to appear. Overall, a good internet connection is required for the device to work. To conclude, Duipers is a device that can aid nurses to check their patient’s diaper at the right time. For now, nurses are still checking their patient’s diaper at a fixed time everyday, but with the Duipers, they will know exactly when their patient’s diaper needs to be changed. This will save the nurses’ or caretaker’s time and also maintain patient’s hygiene.

INVENTION Model Air Cooled System Using Peltier Module

RESEARCH FIELD


Pengenalan: Sejak Kolej Vokasional (KV) melalui proses tranformasi dan diperkenalkan pada tahun 2013 oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, banyak perubahan telah berlaku kepada sistem pendidikan di kolej vokasional. Telah wujud beberapa modul kursus baru yang telah diperkenalkan bagi memenuhi keperluan dalam Kurikulum Standard Kolej Vokasional (KSKV) secara umumnya. Implikasi daripada transformasi ini menyebabkan banyak KV mengalami kekurangan peralatan dan memaksa kementerian mengeluarkan belanja yang sangat besar sehingga di luar kemampuan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan sistem ini. Permasalahan: Bidang Teknologi Penyejukan dan Penyaman Udara (PPU) juga dilihat tidak dapat lari daripada perubahan ini, yang mana dengan perubahan ini menyebabkan banyak peralatan dan teknologi baru diperlukan bagi tujuan pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP) dan juga bagi tujuan pentaksiran. Antara peralatan dalam bidang yang diperlukan adalah sistem komersial AIr Cooled Chiller Pakage Unit (ACPU). Walau bagaimanapun, untuk memiliki unit komersial ini memerlukan kos yang besar merangkumi kos unit, kos pemasangan dan kos baik pulih yang tinggi. Sistem ini merangkumi 3 bahagian iaitu Chiller, Air Handling Unit (AHU) dan ducting yang menggunakan bahan pendingin memerlukan satu sistem yang besar dan kompleks yang merangkumi pemampat, penyejat dan pemeluwap untuk beroperasi. Cara penyelesaian: Penggunaan teknologi peltier menawarkan kebolehan memindahkan haba yang cekap dengan bantuan sedikit tenaga elektrik dan berpotensi dalam melakukan penyejukan ruang kecil tanpa penggunaan sistem konventional penyejukan bahan pendingin. Teknologi dengan saiz yang kecil ini dilihat mampu untuk memindahkan haba dari sesuatu ruang yang ingin disejukan ke persekitaran. Objektif: Oleh itu, kelebihan peltier ini telah digunakan dalam mereka bentuk satu model alat bahan bantu mengajar (ABBM) iaitu ABBM Air Cooled System Menggunakan Teknologi Peltier sebagai ganti kepada sistem air cooled system sebenar di KV. Melalui pembangunan projek ini dapat sedikit sebanyak membantu pelajar di KV memahami kursus yang ditawarkan. Selain itu pelajar dapat melihat sendiri bagaimana sistem air cooled ini berfungsi dari air cooled chiller sehingga kepada sistem ducting model rumah. Methodologi: Melalui projek ini, satu model rumah mini bersaiz 60 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm telah direka dan dibangunkan yang mengandungi ruangan lengkap sebuah rumah. Sebanyak 2 peltier module 12 volt telah digunakan sebagai unit penyejukan (chiller) dan akan menyejukkan ruang dalam model AHU besaiz 13 cm x 10 cm sebelum angin sejuk ini dihembus keluar oleh blower seterusnya disalurkan ke bilik-bilik di dalam model rumah yang dibina. Keupayaan teknologi peltier ini dikaji dalam keberkesanannya menyejukkan dan menyamankan udara bagi setiap ruang bilik (model rumah). Projek kemudiannya akan diuji dengan mendapatkan suhu pada setiap ruangan bilik didalam rumah. Kesimpulannya, model ABBM ini dilihat mampu beroperasi dengan baik bagi mencapai objektif yang dicari iaitu bacaan suhu di dalam ruangan bilik telah turun sehingga mencapai 20̊C dengan suhu model chiller sebanyak 10̊C.

INVENTION Eco Farm Guard - A Plant Based Insecticide

RESEARCH FIELD


The invention and research of plant based insect repellent that make use of plants secondary metabolite to protect agriculture plants from pests. The invention is not only safe and natural but also yields more production and save us from negative effect of chemicals. There are two ways plants protect themselves. First is Mechanical and second are secondary metabolites. In mechanical defence plants uses hairs, trichomes, thorns, spines and thicker leave to protect themselves. While secondary metabolites is chemical compounds such as terpenoids and alkaloids which used by plants either to kill or retard the development of insects. Plants too used indirect defences by releasing blend of volatiles that attract natural enemies by providing food and housing too them. Secondary metabolites are the compounds that do not affect the normal growth and development of a plant but reduces the palatability of the plant tissues in which they are produced. Nowadays as we all know many dangerous chemical used to protect our vegetables and fruits in farm which can cause serious illness in short term and long term. Our objective of the research is to identify and select commonly found plants that have secondary metabolite which repels insects and use it as protection for vegetables and fruits in farm.

INVENTION ECO-BIOPAD

RESEARCH FIELD


Women around the globe are facing menstruation every month. In these modern days sanitary pads and tampons are created to ease their life during menstruation. Unfortunately, they are non-biodegradable contain plastics and cotton containing chemicals which takes thousands of years to degrade into the soil. This will increase the soil pollution which is already affecting the environment badly. Some sanitary pads are disposed in an incinerator which costs a high amount of money. Secondly, the commercialised sanitary pads which also contain chemicals such as dioxins, synthetic fibres and petrochemical additives which may lead to diseases such as abnormal tissue growth in the abdomen and reproductive organs. Lastly, the commercialised sanitary pads are also unaffordable by the underprivileged ones and causes them to use an unhygienic material for a period of menstruation. Thus, a biodegradable Eco-Biopad is created to solve these problems. Sugarcane bagasse is used as the main absorbent core to absorb liquid as it has the ability to absorb water. Its efficiency in absorbing liquid can be increased by soaking it with Sodium Hydroxide solution (NaOH). Sodium hydroxide solution hydrolyses lignin and hemicellulose to reduce the crystalline nature of the bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse is also be chosen because it is an organic waste substance which can naturally degrade into the soil. It is a plastic-free sanitary pads as the plastics are substituted with washable fabric. Thus, diseases which can lead to cervical cancer and vagina cancer can be avoided. Sugarcane bagasse which can be easily get from Asian countries can be bought in low price and be afforded by the people from low income background. In the process of modifying this nature-friendly sanitary pad, firstly, the sugarcane is separated from its cellulose. Then, the bagasse is left to dry completely in the oven to destroy the microorganisms which are present in it. Later, they are grinded into finer pieces using blender. After that, they were immersed into the sodium hydroxide solution. This is to increase its ability in absorbing liquids. Lastly, they were compressed using a compressor according to our desired shape and is left to dry again.

INVENTION The Replacement of Paper Box With Chicken Feather

RESEARCH FIELD


Wood pulp usage in paper products is alarming as it becomes one of the cause of deforestation, which endangers ecosystems. In this projects, we suggest chicken feathers which are usually thrown away as waste to replace wood pulp. The materials used to make chicken feather sheet are only chicken feathers mixed with epoxy resin and its hardener. Chicken feathers are actually used widely in poultry production such as pillow stuffing, diapers, insulation and papers. In this project, we will substitute the uses of wood pulp in production of paper boxs into chicken feathers in order to prevent deforestation. In this project, we use specific ratio of chicken feathers to an epoxy with its hardener. After that we put them into a mold plate that are covered with Mylar plastic and compress the mixture by using a compressor machine. Then we leave it to dry overnight. The product is examined with two different types of test which are tensile strength and water absorbency. We found out that chicken feathers sheet have lower tensile strength compared to paper box, but it absorbs less water than paper box. This shows our product can stand humidity and wet condition higher than paper box. Usage of chicken feathers to replace wood pulp would reduce wastage of chicken feather and be one of the measures to control deforestation.

INVENTION Production of Silver Nanoparticles As An Alternative Antibacterial Agent Using A Newly Discovered Isolated Bacteria In Malaysia

RESEARCH FIELD


Multi-drug resistance is a growing problem in the treatment of infectious diseases and the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics has produced antibiotic resistance for many human bacterial pathogens. Hence, the development of new antimicrobial compounds or the modification of those that already exist in order to improve antimicrobial activity is a high priority area of research. Silver has a strong antimicrobial potential because its toxicity to human cells is considerably lower than to bacteria. The effectiveness of silver nanoparticles is greater compared to a bulk of silver. In this project, the biologically-synthesis route was chosen. Firstly, bacterial-producing silver nanoparticles are cultured. When left overnight, there is growth of bacteria. Next, silver nanoparticles are generated as there was change in colour from yellow to dark brown. Afterwards, we do disk diffusion assay. Six petri dishes with agar that were labelled as blank disc, distilled water, silver nitrate , silver nanoparticles, 25μg/μL ampicillin, and 30μg/μL kanamycin were prerpared. Then, E. Coli in all of the petri dishes were cultured. After that, a blank disc is put in a petri dish. When left overnight, it can be seen that zone of inhibition ring for silver nanoparticles is the highest, whereas the lowest is for 25μg/μL ampicillin. The methods that were used in this experiment is all environmental friendly. In conclusion, silver nanoparticles generated from a newly discovered Bacillus sp. strain bacteria from Malaysia resulted in higher inhibition zone that commonly used antibiotics. Thus, this silver nanoparticles can be used for many purposes such as silver coating in washing machine and screens of gadgets.

INVENTION Cockle Shell And Sugarcane Baggase As Replacement Of Gravel In Making Concrete Block

RESEARCH FIELD


Concrete is an important part of the construction industry. However, the manufacture of concrete using natural course aggregate will result in lack of useful gravel in future construction. The cockle shells that are often removed are highly potential in replacing gravel as an aggregate course. In this project, the quantity of cockle shell removal can be reduced and can preserve the existing natural coarse aggregate for future use. Additionally, partial recycled concrete blocks that are suitable to be used can be produced. Cockle shells thrown away by restaurants are taken and cleaned. Then, crushed using a crusher to produce smaller sizes in accordance with the concrete mixer and mixed with cement, water and sand. Subsequently, the mixture is poured into a mould and is burned in the dry oven to dry and harden the concrete. The maximum force that can be exerted on the cockleshell concrete block is 87.30kN while the commercial concrete block is 52.68kN. Cockleshell concrete absorbs less water than the commercial concrete and also has higher resistance towards fire than the commercial concrete. Cockleshell concrete is heavier than commercial concrete in the market which is 2.68kg compared to the commercial concrete which is 2.58kg. However, the cost of construction is cheaper because it uses waste. This means that cockle shell are a good material in replacing gravel in production of concrete.

INVENTION Green Energy Brick

RESEARCH FIELD

In recent days, the increasing of waste product have become a problem as the there are not enough space to placed them. The increasing waste tyres and polystyrene in our country have become somewhat worrisome. The cost of solid waste collection, and transporting the waste to the landfill, is very high. Moreover, improper solid waste management caused negative impact on people and the environment. An initiative to solve this problem is by recycling these waste product and uses it for something useful. Therefore method of recycling is one of the best alternative to reduce the number of solid waste. This product was developed using a combination of shredded waste tyres, expended polystyrene (EPS), sand and cement to develop Green Energy Brick. These bricks can be used to reduce the temperature effect in a house and also act as a sound buffer. Automatically the energy usage can be reduced too. The result shows that the composite brick can also save the cost by reducing the sand and cement ratio in the overall building construction.
