Dalam kajian ini, beberapa gambar telah diproses atau diekstrak untuk mendapatkan maklumat titik sempadan. Kemudian, gambar tersebut telah dipadankan semula dengan mengguna fungsi Ball kubik yang terdiri daripada dua titik kawalan yang boleh digunakan untuk mengubahsuai lengkung yang dibina. Kajian ini telah mengguna kaedah penghampiran secara automatik. Kaedah _Evolusi Pembezaan_ telah diguna untuk mengoptimumkan dua titik yang terdapat pada fungsi Ball kubik. Proses ini telah diulangi berkali-kali sehingga lengkung yang berjaya dibina menghampiri dengan gambar asal. Beberapa keputusan dan gambar rajah dipamerkan dalam kajian ini. Kata kunci evolusi pembezaan, fungsi Ball kubik, kejuruteraan balikan, pemadanan lengkung..

Kajian ini bertujuan membentuk satu model aplikasi DNA Bola Sepak Malaysia yang berkesan terhadap prestasi pemain bawah 16 tahun lelaki MSSM Kedah dengan menggunakan pendekatan kajian mixed method melalui reka bentuk exploratory. Seramai 8 orang jurulatih daripada kalangan guru telah ditemu bual untuk mendapatkan data kualitatif, manakala 88 orang pemain bawah 16 tahun terlibat dalam soal selidik kuantitatif. Pemilihan peserta kualitatif berdasarkan prinsip saturation of information, di mana maklumat yang diperoleh tidak lagi menghasilkan data baharu. Data kualitatif dianalisis menggunakan kaedah thematic analysis (Patton, 2002), manakala data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan perisian SPSS versi 27. Dapatan kualitatif telah menghasilkan tiga tema utama iaitu kompetensi jurulatih, pengurusan jurulatih dan kepimpinan jurulatih, yang menjadi asas dalam pembentukan model aplikasi DNA bola sepak. Dapatan kuantitatif pula menyokong tema ini melalui penilaian pemain terhadap aspek-aspek pen.....

Materials flow management in supply chain applications is a remarkable key as it contributes to the effectiveness and the success in some organisation profile. A dynamic architecture data acquisition network has been proposed as a modern technique during configuration setup without supplier_s or vendor_s configuration software so that the process of monitoring, integration and communication could be done in real time with the employment of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The RFID technology was said to be capable of handling items problems including damage or loss, misplaced from inventory level, shortage during production, error communication and design changes. A new passive RFID Gen 2 with integrated Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and ZigBee 2.4 GHz technology has also been introduced to enhance system connectivity and compatibilities. The RFID technology in materials flow management was reviewed in order to explore the possibilities of system implementation especia.....

Disease mapping is used to display the geographical distribution of disease occurrence. The focus of a disease mapping is to estimate the true relative risk of a disease and to display the disease risk on map so that further attention can be made. In Malaysia, there are no specific methods that are used to estimate the relative risk of Acute and Chronic Hepatitis B. The areas that are reported to have high number of cases are spotted to have a high risk area for the disease, whereas the area with low number of cases spotted as low risk area for disease. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to find a better method to estimate the relative risk of Acute and Chronic Hepatitis B in Malaysia. This study will used the commonest methods that are the Standardized Morbidity Ratio (SMR) and Poisson-gamma model based on count data of Acute and Chronic Hepatitis B in Malaysia. For the Poissongamma model, the data are analysed using WinBUGS software. In this research, the results of re.....

An attempt was made to record the biodiversity and morphological characteristics of marine macroalgae within the littoral and sublittoral zones at Sri Rusa beach, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Peninsular Malaysia. Samples collected during low tides consisted a total of nine species represented by three divisions, six of which were from the Chlorophyta, two from the Phaeophyta and one species of the Rhodophyta. Among the dominant species commonly found in this study area were the Phaeophytes Sargassum polycystum C. Agardh and Padina minor Yamada. For the division Chlorophyta, the genus Caulerpa was the largest, represented by five species, namely C. lentillifera, C. microphysa, C. prolifera, C. racemosa and C. sertulariodes. The genera Cladophora from Chlorophyta and Acantophora from Rhodophyta were each represented by one species, namely Cladophora sp. and Acantophora specifera. Most of the macroalgae found in the littoral and sublittoral zones were attached to sand and rock as their .....

Students come into the classroom with prerequisite theories and conceptions as results from everyday experiences and commonsense beliefs. As they progress through their education, these conceptions will be reinforced and it will be extremely difficult to change. Physics is no exception as the subject matter deals more closely about concepts in everyday situations. In order to teach physics effectively, it is the utmost important to identify these ideas beforehand. This paper provides an overview of some literatures pertaining to misconceptions and difficulties in introductory physics among high school and university students. Misconceptions and difficulties in mechanics are listed and described based on past studies in science education. Consequently, this paper also presents the implications these misconceptions have on teaching and learning physics and its role in conceptual cheas. Keywords misconception, introductory physics, mechanics, teaching and learning physics..

Tujuan utama kajian ini ialah untuk mengesah model struktur sokongan sekolah, efikasi kendiri komputer, pengetahuan teknologi pedagogi kandungan (PTPK) dan tekanan teknologi dalam kalangan guru tadika di Selangor. Pendekatan kuantitatif bersama reka bentuk tinjauan telah digunakan dalam kajian ini melibatkan 739 orang guru tadika di Selangor. Analisis Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) digunakan untuk menguji model, menganalisis faktor pengesahan dan menganalisis kesepadanan dan mengesahkan model. Soal selidik sokongan sekolah, efikasi kendiri komputer dan tekanan teknologi serta PTPK digunakan. Dapatan analisis faktor pengesahan menunjukkan model sokongan sekolah, efikasi kendiri komputer, PTPK dan tekanan teknologi berjaya mencapai indeks kesepadanan (RMSEA=0.049, CFI= 0.981, PGFI=0.656). Dapatan menunjukkan sokongan sekolah mempunyai hubungan negatif terhadap tekanan teknologi dan signifikan (_= -0.274, P=0.000); sokongan sekolah mempunyai hubungan positif terhadap PTPK dan signifi.....

The within-tree distribution of the pupae and larval stages of Paliga damastesalis Walker was studied on young 6-12 month old teak Tectona grandis L. at two different sites outside outbreak periods in the year 2000. At each site, trees below 1.8 m in height with at least four nodes were inspected thoroughly for the presence of larvae or pupae. The larvae were strongly associated with leaves of the upper nodes, which were comparatively younger than those of the lower nodes, indicating that the larvae preferred and actively sought to consume younger leaves. More than 60% of the larvae were found on leaves between the second and fourth nodes. However, oviposition behaviour could have also influenced the larval distribution since the larvae completed their development not far from where the eggs were oviposited. A skewed sex ratio with adult males consistently not exceeding 3.5% of the samples was reported. Keywords Distribution, oviposition behaviour, Paliga damastesalis, Tectona grandis.....
