Online Sport Booking System
This paper reports that the functionality and usability ofthe online system on internet. In
using web technology, it will delivers the promise of access to information from
anywhere in the world. Booking sport facilities is difficult nowadays because people are
quite busy and do not have enough time to go to sport council just for making a
reservation. To overcome this problem, this project will helps their residents to organize
the data and the information into better style and format and also to their customers so
they can make a reservation easily through internet connection because in Perak, the
government has taken a good advantage ofInformation and Communication Technology
(ICT) by built K-Perak. Every council or department also must take this opportunity in
improving and update their e-services regularly because in this new era, people are start
using e-service in order to save their time and money. Ifother country can make used of

Piezoelectric properties of zinc oxide nanostructure synthesized via chemical bath solution
We report our investigation on the growth of ZnO nanostructure on a patterned interdigitated microelectrode (IDE) using chemical bath deposition (CBD). Piezoresponse force microscopic techniques were used to characterise the piezoelectric material domain of the grown ZnO nanostructures. The synthesised ZnO nanostructures exhibits a hexagonal wurtzite structure with the c-axis preferred crystal orientation in the (002) plane. The average thickness of the ZnO seed layer was 467.5 nm, whereas the diameter and length of ZnO nanostructure were measured to be 2.73 μm and 6.96 μm respectively. The combine effect of Zinc nitrate and HTMA concentration and seed layer thickness are considered as the main reason for crystal morphology evolution. The ZnO nanostructures exhibited a phase switch of the response and hysteresis in the plot of phase versus dc voltage, as evidenced by the polarization exchanging of its ferroelectric behaviour. These results provide a fundamental understanding of piezoresponse ZnO nanostructure for future energy applications
Silicon nanowire interface circuit for DNA detection
Detection and quantification of DNA is critical to many areas of life sciences and health care, from disease diagnosis to drug screening. The transduction of DNA through electrochemical methods have a fast response rate and with a conductometric device like the silicon nanowire which can be fabricated to have a similar diameter of the DNA molecule being targeted, detection is real-time. Critical to this is the interfacing of a current-source and an amplifier capable of achieving a maximum of 10 pico ampere input bias. In this project, we fabricated a silicon nanowire using the top down approach and built a circuit that can mimic the output signal as low as 12 nA and achieved a gain of 1 million to be interfaced with the nanowire for real-time DNA detection
Applying UTAUT in predicting ESL lecturers intention to use flipped learning
Flipped learning empowers learners to take an engaging role in learning while educators assist the learning process. The employment of flipped learning has been confirmed to enhance the teaching and learning of English as a second language in previous studies. This study aimed to explore the application of the unified theory of technology acceptance and use of technology towards ESL lecturers’ intention to use flipped learning. This study used a quantitative research framework where a set of online questionnaires was used in collecting the data. A total of 206 English as a second language lecturers from four different universities participated in this study. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The result of this study indicates that only social influence is significant in predicting English as a second language lecturers’ intention to use the flipped learning approach. Furthermore, this study enriches the literature on 21st century education and the integration of technology in teaching and learning. In addition, this study could help educators and stakeholders in adapting or enhancing the flipped learning approach by distinguishing the distinct predictors of technology acceptance

Design and fabrication of silicon nanowire based sensor
This paper reports the process development of silicon nanowires sensor requires both the fabrication of
nanoscale diameter wires and standard integration to CMOS process. By using silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) wafer as a starting material, the nanowires is fabricated using a top-down approach which
involved Scanning Electron Microscope based Electron Beam Lithography method. The silicon
nanowires are well developed with the smallest dimension is 65nm in width. The effect of line width
and exposure dose on the pattern structure is investigated experimentally using the negative photoresist
ma-N2403 for EBL. The exposure doses for the resist layer are varied in the range of 50µC/cm2 to
180µC/cm2 at 20 kV accelerating voltage with a beam current of 0.075nA. The nanowires resist masks
are well developed with dimension less than 100 nm in width for the dose exposure parameters of
80µC/cm2, 100µC/cm2 and 120µC/cm2. Subsequently, the two metal electrodes which are designated
as source and drain are fabricated on top of individual nanowire using conventional lithography
process. Morphological, electrical and chemical characteristics have been proposed to verify the
outcome of the fabricated device. Finally, the fabricated device is performed as pH level detection.
Three types of standard aqueous pH buffer buffer solutions which are pH 4, pH 7 and pH 10 are used
to test the electrical response of the device. The SiNWs sensor show the highest resistance value for
pH 4 and the lowest resistance value for pH 10. In terms of sensitivity, the device with smaller
nanowire is found to be more sensitive than larger nanowire as a result of the high surface-to-volume
ratio
A Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) : Malaysian ESL lecturers’ attitude in adapting flipped learning
Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3) is an inclusive and complex model where it emphasizes the processes
that relate to perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The model suggests that predictors for perceived
usefulness will not influence the perceived ease of use and vice versa. This quantitative research investigates
the relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety (two elements in TAM3) and Malaysian
English as a Second Language (ESL) lecturers’ attitude in integrating flipped learning approach. A set of
questionnaires was responded by 206 Malaysian ESL university lecturers and the data was analysed using
structural equation modelling (SEM). Even though there are a few other studies that show a significant
relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety and ESL lecturers’ attitude in integrating
flipped learning, this study found the relationship to be insignificant. According to responses, Malaysian
ESL lecturers have no problems in managing basic computer skills. The findings could contribute to future
studies that aim to understand user acceptance behaviour. This study could also help decision makers or
Malaysian universities in employing or improving the existing flipped learning by identifying the dominant
predictors in user acceptance
Analysing UTAUT in flipped learning implementation
The flipped learning approach focuses on meaningful learning and it is based on responsibility shared by
educators and learners. Flipped learning also authorises learners to take an engaging role in learning whilst
educators facilitate the learning process. While the implementation of flipped learning has proven to enhance
ESL teaching and learning in the previous studies, flipped learning in terms of Malaysian ESL lecturers in public
universities has yet to be explored. This study aims to explore the utilization of Unified Theory of Technology
Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) towards Malaysian ESL lecturers’ attitude in implementing
flipped learning. This study employs a quantitative research where a set of online questionnaire is used in
collecting the data. Four public universities are chosen and 206 ESL lecturers participated in this study. The data
was analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The result of this study indicates that performance
expectancy and effort expectancy are the strong predictors in predicting Malaysian ESL lecturers’ attitude
towards the implementation of flipped learning. Furthermore, this study enriches the literature in 21st century
education as well as the integration of technology in teaching and learning. In addition, this study could help
educators and stakeholders in adapting or enhancing the flipped learning approach by distinguishing the distinct
predictors in technology acceptance
Flipped learning in malaysia
The 21st century of education demands for student-centred learning rather
than conventional teacher-centred learning. There are several new models
and approaches to be adapted to meet the demand. One of the popular
models in Malaysia is flipped learning. Flipped learning focuses on
meaningful learning, and it also promotes a student-centred learning style.
This paper explores flipped learning studies done by researchers regardless
of the disciple and level of education
