This paper presents a model for analysing and improving performance of R&D in Malaysian universities. There are various general models for R&D analysis, but none is specific for improving the performance of R&D in Malaysian universities. This research attempts to fill a gap in the body of knowledge with regard to developing countries by explicitly focusing on factors that are relevant for analysing and improving R&D performance in Malaysian universities.\ud The project's methodology essentially entails a deductive route to identify and progressively refine the factors that determine R&D performance. It is based on extensive literature study aimed at developing a model that is appropriate for researching and improving R&D in an emerging economy. The paper addresses the development of the model and the research project’s approach. This model will be applied in collecting data from surveys and a number of field studies. The results will be used to improve the model as well as recommending points of improvement for Malaysian universities

The legal certainty in peer to peer lending shall be fulfilled so that peer to peer lending business activities are not categorized as an illegal bank and so that this business is able to provide legal standing for all the parties

Effect of Thermal Soak Time Towards Polyimide Based-Carbon Tubular Membrane

Tubular carbon membrane (TCM) was prepared form BTDA-TDI/MDI (P-84) polyimide (PI) has a main precursor that combines with nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) through controlled carbonization condition. Consideration of the thermal soaking time through the heating process is needed to maintain the proficiency of resultant TCM’s. Thermal soaking time of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes was investigated to study the gas properties of the final TCM’s. In the course of TCM’s separation, single gas permeation experiments of CO2 and N2 are performed to investigate the transport mechanism. The PI / NCC TCM’s developed at 120 min of thermal soak time from this study showed the most impressive CO2/N2 performance, selectivity of 66.32±2.18 respectively
