Understanding the basic concepts of knowledge sharing in organization

Knowledge sharing is the most vital activities in knowledge management processes. Many organization members are still not realize the importance of sharing their knowledge. The perceptions on the knowledge management are varies but the main intention is; when knowledge is created in organization, it is need to be share and capture the knowledge itself. This paper attempts to give a basic understanding about knowledge sharing types, barriers, and factors that will affect organizational learning performance. The idea and illustration graph adapted from previous literature's in order to make a comprehensive overview about the topic discussed

Approaches to learning and academic achievement in higher education

An approach to learning concerns the dynamic way in which individuals relate to and organise a learning task, and is influenced by prior experiences and perceptions of the requirements of the learning context (Ramsden, 1987). The concept of learning approaches came from Marton and Säljö (1979) based on their seminal work on 30 graduate students at the University of Götenburg in Sweden. The students were interviewed after completing a reading task and questions were asked about the text as well as about the way in which they completed the task. The responses to the questions suggested a variety of differences in the way the students acquired and processed the information. While some students focussed on the intention of the authors and tried to identify the principle ideas (content), others tried to memorise as much as possible and often recalled the examples (signs) cited by the authors rather than the main ideas. The former was seen as a product of deep-level processing and the students had adopted a holistic approach to their activity whereas the latter was a result of surface-level processing and the students had an atomistic approach to the task

Examination timetabling using genetic algorithm case study: KUiTTHO

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is one of the most popular optimization solutions. It has been implemented in various applications such as scheduling. The flows of GA are using selection, crossover and mutation operators applied to populations of chromosomes. This paper reports the powerful techniques using GA in scheduling. Examination timetabling problem is one of the applications in scheduling. In one aspect, it deals with students such that it fulfils the process time slot. These aspects are important for the examination can be done in a smooth way and no students can sit more than one exam in a same time slot. The other constraint is the student workload should be arranged less than three exams in a row. The examination timetabling problem at Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) is introduced and the prototype has been developed using Java language. The prototype suggested several feasible solutions to the user

The effect of centrifugation at 1000 rpm on crude palm oil characteristics / Mohd Faisal Mohd Zaki

Today, almost all energy in the world is extracted from petroleum base. At current rate of usage the source of petroleum will meet it end sooner or later. Alternative energy is needed to replace the current source of energy. Alternative energy can come from various type of source such as plant, solar and etc. Crude palm oil (CPO) is renewable and is safe and easy to handle. CPO is one of the vegetable oil that can be used in diesel engine.. However, using CPO as fuel in diesel engine caused clogging in the fuel system. This study focused on finding out the effect of Centrifugation at 1000 rpm on CPO characteristic. The CPO was centrifuge and the liquid (olein) was collected in order to measure its characteristic in term of viscosity, density, energy content and flash point. Results show that kinematic viscosity of CPO reduced from 64.0593 mm2 /s to 43.065 mm2 /s. Density of centrifuged CPO slightly reduced from 862.2 kg/m3 to 833.2 kg/m3 while energy content remain the same at range of 39000 J/g to 40000 J/g. Flash point for centrifuged crude palm oil is 263°Celsius. At speed of 1000 rpm, percentage of separation between Olein and Stearin increase proportional to increment of temperature

Foundation Fieldbus Interoperability Test, System Development and Configuration - Foxboro (Dissertation)

Fieldbus is a network technology designed to improve overall process or system efficiency in contrast to the current 4-20mA network. Verification of the system interoperability and reliability, including stress test is important for it to be accepted and applicable in the industry. A proper methodology justification and an outline of the methodological approach of the interoperability, reliability and stress test in order for it to be executed within the scope of study and given time frame are elaborated in this report. Segment design validation simulated using P+F Segement Checker with High Power Trunk (HPT) concept

Reproductive Biology And Phenological Observation of Three Calamus Species in Peninsular Malaysia

Knowledge on reproductive biology is important for genetic improvements program. This study aimed at determining the reproductive biology and phenological behavior of Calamus palustris Griff. var. malaccensis Becc., Calamus scipionum Loureiro, and Calamus ornatus Blume., from natural populations. Seven sites throughout Peninsular Malaysia i.e. Hutan Simpan Mata Ayer, Bukit Larik, Setia Enggor, Linggi, Batu Kurau, Bukit Besi and Ulu Serting were chosen for the studies. In the basic study, observations on the reproductive biology including floral morphology, phenology and regeneration behaviour were made. For the study on floral morphology, only C. scipionum and C. palustris were selected. The flower structures of C. scipionum and C. palustris were similar. The differences noted were in the colour and sizes of the flowers. The male flowers of C. scipionum were dark brown and yellowish in C. paiustris. The female flowers of C. paiustris were pale yellow in colour and dark brown in C. scipionum. In terms of flower size, both male and female flowers of C. scipionum were bigger than those of C. paiustris and for each species female flowers were bigger than male flowers. C. scipionum had longer inflorescences and main rachis compared to C. paiustris. However, there were no differences in terms of the number of main rachis and rachilla per inflorescence and rachilla length. In the female inflorescence, C. scipionum had longer inflorescence, longer main rachis and also contained more rachilla compared to C. paiustris. Differences in the timing of flowering and fruiting were observed among the different climatic zones in all the three species. Fruit production took 8-9 months for C. paiustris and 12-13 months for C. scipionum and C. ornatus. However, the variation on number of C. paiustris wildings occurring under the rubber plantation and forested areas showed no significant difference. The information gained for this study can be used for breeding and genetic improvement programme for these species
