Review of speed limit for FR222 access road to Gambang toll

This thesis presents a review of speed limit on a straight road that relate with road accidents. The main objectives of this study are to investigate excessive speed that can cause road accidents and to recommend appropriate measures for road safety improvement. This study focused on the straight road which is along MEC Highway start from FR222 Access Road to Gambang Toll. This spot speed study was conducted in six days by using radar gun to record the speed based on type of vehicles that passing through on this road. The type of road on this location is Federal Road and area type is Rural categorized as R5. From this study, the result that have obtained able to show the 15 th , 50th 85 th and 95 th speed percentile from the cumulative frequency distribution curves graph. The speed limit that has been set by Department of Work (JKR) on this road is 90 km/hr. The result of this study shows that the highest frequency of vehicle most in speed group 90-99 km/hr. Speed limit that have been obtained from six points on this location of study are 3.62km/br,93.80km/br,98.46km/hr,101.67km/br, 99.74km/br, and 86.02km/hr. The average speed that obtained at six points on this study location is most over the speed limit allowed. The number of drivers that drive over the speed limit is more than the number of drivers that drive under the speed limit. This situation occur maybe due to nonexistence of speed limit signboard and condition of straight road that make drivers tend to drive at excessive speed that can cause road accidents. Suggestions to placement the speed limit signboard, warning to slow down speed signboard and Automated Enforcement System (AES) have been proposed for road safety and accident free in Malaysia

The juvenile courts an overall view / Zainon Mahat

Among the Malaysian public, there exists an ignorance of the existence of a special court in dealing with juvenile offenders. Most people think that these juvenile offenders are dealt by the same court that deals with adult offenders. This ignorance should not go unchecked. Therefore the purpose of my writing this paper is to make known to the public, the 'behind-the-scenes' of a Juvenile Court. To achieve a more realistic understanding of this topic, I have make special references to the Kuala Lumpur Juvenile Court, the welfare Department of Wilayah Persekutuan and other relevant authorities which deals with juvenile problems. The thread of analysis of this paper will touch on the practice and procedure adopted by the Juvenile Court from the time a child or a young person is apprehended by the police until his case is determined by the court, acting in pursuant to the provisions of the Juvenile Courts Act, 1947

Themain objective of the project is to perform research anddevelop a subsonic wind tunnel in UTP and also to study and perform the flow visualization experiments on the developed wind tunnel. Without a wind tunnel, the learning and understanding process on topics related to flow behavior become more difficult. Also, since the wind tunnel's working medium, air is not visible under normal conditions, flow visualization method is essential to make the flow visible. Those are the problems that trigger the idea to initiate this project. This project will cover scope of works on the research of the available wind tunnel design criteria, research on flow visualization methods, the selection of the most suitable design recommendation on wind tunnel, selection of most suitable flow visualization method, the design and fabrication of the wind tunnel and model to be used, the experimental procedure of the selected flow visualization method, materials required to perform the experiments and also results and findings from the performed flow visualization experiments. Various methods used in undertaking this project in order to obtain the best results, which include project planning, researching, weekly meetings with supervisor and technicians, and performing the experiments. A lot of findings have been obtained from this project. The findings obtained are in term of wind tunnel dimensions and final design, materials to fabricate the wind tunnel, fan selection result for designed wind tunnel, flow visualization experiment procedures, materials required for experiments, model and test section design, findings from both flow visualization experiments, coat estimation and conceptual design of a smoke generator. From the designed wind tunnel, the air speed inside test section is 12 m/s with test section cross sectional area of 30cm x 30 cm. Byproper work, this project can yield a great output. This project can bring a lot of benefit to all parties involved if done successfully

A review of blood transfusion reaction cases at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar / Muhammad Zulfikri Zainon

The aim of the present study was to ascertain the blood transfusion reaction cases at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar. A total of 263 transfusion reaction cases, occurred in the period of January 2014 to August 2015, from Transfusion Medicine laboratory were collected and analysed. From the 263 transfusion reaction cases, the month of March 2014 recorded the highest number of cases, while the month of August 2014 recorded the lowest number of cases. Symptom of mild allergic reactions, itchiness, was found to be the commonest transfusion reaction. Patients of age group 40 to 75 constituted the largest group having transfusion reactions. Packed red cells was the most implicated component causing transfusion reactions. Since this study intends to provide the statistic of transfusion reaction cases at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital from January 2014 to August 2015, the findings can be a very useful “alert” to raise awareness among personnel who are involved throughout the blood transfusion process

Effect of cylic stress range on crack growth of aluminium alloy under axial loading

This thesis presented about the fatigue life of the material, which is focus on aluminium alloy. There are some important analysis needs to be done including stress analysis, and also fatigue analysis. People might prefer predict the fatigue life of aluminium alloy using experimental approach. But in this thesis, it comes out with different ways, by using software. The software used is MSC PATRAN with MSC NASTRAN as a solver and MSC Fatigue. The model is developed using the SOLIDWORKS. The results from initial analysis will be proceeding with second analysis which is fatigue simulation. Finally, the crack growth graph will be constructed. The effect of stress ranges of aluminium alloys on fatigue crack growth rate was simulated using the Compact Tension specimen as a model. The Fatigue Crack Growth curve, da/dn as a function of stress intensity factor, ΔK was plotted in order to analyze the crack growth properties of aluminium alloys. It has been done using MSC FATIGUE software. 4 different stress ranges were selected in range (4-10) kN in order to investigate the effect of stress range on crack growth rates. The model were simulated by means of Mode I loading in constant temperature and frequency. The constant value of C and gradient, m according to Modified Paris Law equation, are 1.2E-10 and 4.06 respectively. The life cycle graph (S-N curve) of aluminium alloy under this simulation will be compared to the established life cycle graph. It was show that the aluminium alloys have endurance limit of 95MPa

Results of the analysis carried out shows the three leadership styles do not have a significant relationship with the creativity of employees. All leadership styles tested in this study have negative relationship with employee creativity except laissez-faire leadership style which has positive relationship. The study also found that all three leadership styles did not significantly influence the creativity of workers and there was no different level of employee creativity based on demographic factors

DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSMITTER FOR SEABED LOGGING (SBL) IN REAL AND SCALED ENVIRONMENT

Electromagnetic (EM) technology called Seabed Logging (SBL) has recently been used for hydrocarbon exploration. Seabed logging (SBL) is an application of marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) method which is used to detect the location of oil reservoir. A recently developed transmitter IS usmg Horizontal Electric Dipole (HED) transmitter 1=1 on electromagnetic (EM) surveying technique. The technique has proven particularly useful for detecting thin and highly resistive layers of hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, to detect the hydrocarbon reservoirs at very deep seawater still remains a challenge. There are many limitations of the conventional HED transmitter in terms of depth penetration for deep target (~2.5km). This project has come out to further improve the current design of transmitter that can penetrate more below the seafloor. This project consists of simulation and modeling the prototype of EM antenna. Aluminum is the best material to this design since it is easy to fabricate, light, cheaper than copper and has high resistive corrosion. The shape of half ring antenna gives greatest improvement on the amplification of 102.19% as compared to the straight shape and 20.66% compared to ring shape. Further improvement to the current design was done by combining four half ring antennas which is called Quadrapole antenna. The Quadrapole antenna with parallel connection and feeding points at the center gives percentage difference of 196.77.88%. The combination of magnetic feeders and Quadrapole antenna enhance the output of EM wave with 445.76% increment compared to the Quadrapole antenna without magnetic feeders
