A study on position of the state secretary in Selangor: the law and practice / Mazni Ibrahim, Nur Huda Mohamad and Siti Asmath Che Man

The topic on "A Study on Position of the State Secretary in Selangor: The Law and Practice'' was proposed following the incident in Selangor in December 2010 where there was a conflict between the appointment of the State Secretary by the Federal and the State. A State Secretary is the Head of the State Civil Servant which represents the civil servants of a state as a whole. Generally, the Public Services Commission has jurisdiction over the Federation, Malacca and Penang. The jurisdiction is extended to any state which has no State Services Commission. However, there seems to be an overlapping in terms of jurisdiction as highlighted in the incident that has happened in the state of Selangor on the appointment of a senior public officer, the State Secretary. This study contains a brief introduction on the principle of federalism as well as the key to the study as to the words "appropriate service Commission". The objective of the study is to analyse related procedures and provisions and, where possible related recommendations. The scope and limitation as well as the significance of the study are spelled out with the purpose of doing the study in relation to the appointment of a State Secretary. The literature review is the opinion of academicians and legal practitioners. Besides that, the proposal is also coded with a qualitative research and interview as the methodology for the study. We hope this study will be a guide for those who would like to understand the legal position of a public servant in theory and practical as well as the legal aspects and its implications on the above issue

Battery Parameters Identification Analysis using Periodogram

Batteries are essential components of most electrical devices and one of the most important parameters in batteries is storage capacity. It represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain specified condition. This paper presents the analysis of charging and discharging battery signal using periodogram. The periodogram converts waveform data from the time domain into the frequency domain and represents the distribution of the signal power over frequency. This analysis focuses on four types of batteries which are leadacid (LA), lithium-ion (Li-ion), nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal-hydride (Ni-MH). This paper used battery model from MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the nominal voltage of each battery is 6 and 12V while the capacity is 10 and 20Ah, respectively. The analysis is done and the result shows that varying capacity produce different power at a frequency and voltage at DC component

High capacity and miniaturized flexible chipless RFID tag using modified complementary split ring resonator

This paper aims to produce a high data capacity and miniaturized flexible chipless RFID tag based on the frequency signature using the Modified Complementary Split Ring Resonator (MCSRR). The proposed 19 bits chipless RFID tag using the frequency shifting technique consists of five slotted overlaying MCSRR with Different Width (MCSRR with DW) structures and the dimension of 48 mm x 48 mm. The structure is designed by using a flexible (Polyethylene Terephthalate ) PET substrate with permittivity of 0.2. The operating frequency is between 0.9 GHz and 2.7 GHz. The advancement of slotted overlaying MCSRR with DW structures has successfully miniaturized the chipless RFID tag structure to about 107 mm2/ bit, 0.02/2 mid =bit and 0.09 GHz/bit by maximizing the number of resonators in a limited space and minimizing the frequency separation between the resonators. The omnidirectional tag antenna is incorporated with the proposed MCSRR structure using the retransmission measurement method. The log-periodic antenna with a gain of 5-7 dBi is used for this measurement to improve the range distance between tag and reader system. Based on the retransmission measurement involving the antenna tag, the 19 bits chipless RFID tag which consists of five MCSRR with DW structures can be detected with a maximum range distance of 30 cm and a power transmitted level of 30 dBm

Development of PI controller for disc speed

This paper discuss about the development of Proportional and Integral (PI) controller for disc speed by involving the disturbance at the feedback control. The effect of the disturbance to the disc speed system is eliminated by Proportional and Integral (PI) controller. The PI controller is tuned heuristically from the MATLAB/simulink at which integrated with the disc plant. The performance of the disc plant is analyzed in real-time. Based on the analysis in real-time, this paper shows that the performance of the PI controller with disturbance and without disturbance. The result with disturbance shows that the output response quite closes to the result without disturbance even though the overshoot is about 8 percent. By the way, the rise time and settling time of the disc speed with disturbance is reduced for the time less than 0.01 and 0.95 seconds each. From the results with and without disturbance, this paper concludes that the development of PI controller for this speed in simulation give less error about 0.02 compared to the real-time system
