    • Modeling cad performance with Fuzzy Cognitive Map 

      Thum, Peng Chew, Ir. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2005-12)
      This paper demonstrates how Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is used to model CAD performance in an engineering consultancy environment by simulating the effects of certain conditions and actions on CAD service quality. A knowledge ...

    • Analysis and design of jobs for control of cumulative trauma disorders: Plastic forks/spoons packing job 

      Law, Puong Ling, Dr.; Ng, Chee Khoon, Ir.; Ha, How Ung; Lau, Hieng Ho (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2005-09)
      Cumulative trauma disorders caused by repetitive hand and arm movements were studied in this paper for a plastic forks/spoons packing job. The job was categorised into several work elements associated with the trunk, hand ...

    • Mapping of the Malaysian regional total electron content (TEC) latitude and longitude profile 

      Ahmad Faizal, Mohd. Zain, Ir. Prof. Dr.; Ho, Yih Hwa; Harlisya, Harun (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2005-09)
      The ionosphere plays a vital role in radio communications whose usable frequencies for signals propagation are mainly affected by its electron content. Determination of the electron content in the ionosphere will aid in ...

    • Menu driven intelligent tutoring for power system modeling 

      Marizan, Sulaiman; Zainuddin, Mat Isa (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2005-09)
      The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the user with interactive visual communication to analyse and model the power systems. Applying the advantages of the GUI, new menu driven intelligent tutoring system was ...

    • Simulation of the distributed rainfall-runoff process 

      Huang, Yuk Feng; Lee, Teang Shui (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      A deterministic model to simulate rainfall runoff from pervious and impervious surfaces is presented. The surface runoff model is based on an established one-dimensional, variable width, kinematics wave approximation to ...

    • Hazards analysis of LPG storage installation in Universiti Putra Malaysia: A preliminary study 

      Mohanad, El-Harbawi; Sa’ari, M.; Choong, Thomas Shean Yaw, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Chuah, T. G.; Abdul Rashid, M. S. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      A preliminary risk analysis on the impact of LPG storage explosion to the community in the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) is studied. This paper is aimed to evaluate the physical effects of the ...

    • Application of boundary element method for the analysis of potential flow field and wave resistance in finite depth of water 

      Md. Shahjada, Tarafder; Gazi, Md. Khalil (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      A boundary element method is presented for solving a nonlinear free surface flow problem for a ship moving with a uniform speed in shallow water. The free surface boundary condition is linearized by the systematic method ...

    • Aerodynamic design and aircraft family concept for an advanced technology regional aircraft (ATRA) 

      Prasetyo, Edi; Arora, Prithvi Raj; Mohammad Saleem (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      The aim of this work is to make a feasibility study of the application of combined Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) - Variable Camber Wing (VCW) to the ATRA aircraft family. The VCW can be used as a lift control during ...

    • Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil by Using Chemical Stabilization 

      Yin, Chun Yang; Md Ghazaly, Shaaban; Hilmi, Mahmud (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      The effectiveness of ordinary portland cement (OPC) in the immobilization of heavy-metal contaminated soil was investigated in this study. Heavy metal contaminated soil was collected from a scrap metal yard within the ...

    • Agriculture drainage affects river water quality 

      Ayob, Katimon; Azraai, Kassim; Fadil, Othman; Johan, Sohaili; Zulkifli, Yusop; Normala, Hashim (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)
      The acidic level of the freshwater is a major concern to water treatment plant operators. Extremely acidic freshwater could affect the operation of the treatment plant in many ways. The cost to neutralisation the water ...
