The mission for photo-realism plants modeling areas yet open test. Within the L-System, non-regular and complex plant turn out to be all more numerically sensible. In any case, some control parameters should be adjusted again and to get the correct L-System axioms and productions protocols so as produce the good plants modeling. In this paper, an cross-compiling l-Systems stage are created for developing plant models from squiggly structures of computer graphics application to genuine numerically based representations. The determinations are worked using enabling the standards JSON IDE (Java Script Object Notation Integrated Development Environment) within primitive custom-made to LSystems algorithms. Besides, from plant modeled, a music score based on scientific pitch notation is generated. Toward the finish of this paper, various outlined programming precedentis gives through graphic interpretations on L-System...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the game elements based on Gagne Nine Events of Instruction and to develop instrument which will be use to analyze the game elements needed in the development of digital educational games. The study was conducted using qualitative design where the interview and observation involved. A total of 20 students from a school in Tanjong Malim Perak participated in this survey. The findings of the study show that eight game elements are analyzed based on Gagne Nine Events of Instruction that are mystery, action, challenge, being at risk, uncertainty of outcome, opportunity for mastery, visible signs of progress and emotional content. These elements will be aligned with Gagne Nine Events of Instruction to develop an instrument. In conclusion, this study will further enhance the digital educational games design process and further promote innovation in teaching and learning in line with the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025.   ..

The purpose of this study is to design a selfexplanation prompts or help element in iFractions educational game software. The self-explanation prompts was developed using the cartoon concept. In the previous research students who used the self-explanation prompts showed significantly better achievements. Students who used iFractions with selfexplanation prompts found that it has helped them make the fractions abstract concept concrete and facilitate the proper construction of fractions schema. Therefore, the design of any educational software must be constructive in parallel with the combination of scaffolding element which is the self- explanation prompts...

This study aimed to determine the anthropometrics of athletes representing Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) during the Malaysian Inter-varsity Sports (MASUM) tournament, 2018. In this study, 50 athletes consisted of 15 hockey players, 12 netball players, 13 volleyball players and 10 volleyball players were recruited as participants. Percentage of body fat was measured using formula by Jackson, Pollock and Ward (1980) while somatotype were determine using the scale by Heath and Carter. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. The results of the anthropometric profile indicate that almost all teams have an endo-meso (more muscular) body, but the results of the relationship showed that significant relationship between the anthropometric profile and the performance were only found in the bowling team, r = 0.13, p= 0.14, p < 0.05. For hockey, netball, and volleyball teams did not show significant relationship (r = 0.15, p = 0.74, p> 0.05), (r =0.12, .....

In this study, hybrid RPCA-spectral biclustering model is proposed in identifying the Peninsular Malaysia rainfall pattern. This model is a combination between Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) and biclustering in order to overcome the skewness problem that existed in the Peninsular Malaysia rainfall data. The ability of Robust PCA is more resilient to outlier given that it assesses every observation and downweights the ones which deviate from the data center compared to classical PCA. Meanwhile, two way-clustering able to simultaneously cluster along two variables and exhibit a high correlation compared to one-way cluster analysis. The experimental results showed that the best cumulative percentage of variation in between 65%-70% for both Robust and classical PCA. Meanwhile, the number of clusters has improved from six disjointed cluster in Robust PCA-kMeans to eight disjointed cluster for the proposed model. Further analysis shows that the proposed model has smaller variatio.....

One of the popular approaches in modifying the Conjugate Gradient (CG) Method is hybridization. In this paper, a new hybrid CG is introduced and its performance is compared to the classical CG method which are RivaieMustafa-Ismail-Leong (RMIL) and Syarafina-Mustafa-Rivaie (SMR) methods. The proposed hybrid CG is evaluated as a convex combination of RMIL and SMR method. Their performance are analyzed under the exact line search. The comparison performance showed that the hybrid CG is promising and has outperformed the classical CG of RMIL and SMR in terms of the number of iterations and central processing unit per time..

This study aimed to examine the relationship between transparency and corporate financial performance. This study based on a sample of 25 corporations listed on Iraq stock exchange (ISX). Information related to research variables is for 2014-2017 (4-year period). To investigate the association between variables of this research, the transparency (ownership structure and stakeholder’s rights (OWSR), financial and nonfinancial information (FNF) and board of directors (BOD) dimensions) as independent variable and corporate financial performance based on accounting data, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on investment (ROI) as dependent variable are considered. In this study, to analyze research data and the models estimation, the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression test was used. For this purpose, 80 items were analyzed in three indictors which are ownership structure and stakeholder’s rights, financial and non-financial information and board structure using.....

This study aimed to explore how religious values are integrated into entrepreneurial activities among students in Public Higher Education Institutions (PHEI) to develop holistic and entrepreneurial students in Malaysia. The study was conducted at three public higher education institutions in the state of silver. Respondents consist of staff and students involved in entrepreneurship programs or activities. Quantitative and qualitative approaches are used to gain a more accurate picture of the integration of religious values and entrepreneurial activities. Descriptive analysis is used to analyze quantitative data, while thematic analysis is for qualitative data. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the level of religious and moral values in student entrepreneurship activities. The findings also showed a high degree of application of religious values in entrepreneurship activities. However, there are no specific policies for integrating religious values into en.....

In this article, we describe the construction and operation of a low-cost experimental system to demonstrate the fundamental concepts of solar photovoltaic cells. The major goal of this project is to provide students with basic instrumentation and methodologies to learn fundamental concepts of solar photovoltaic cell and its application. The system runs under the Windows operating system and is composed of an Arduino UNO ATmega328p data acquisition board as well as current and voltage sensing elements. A software written under the open-source programming language platform was used to program the microcontroller while the sun path simulation software was used for tracking the sun. The site location coordinates were determined by using a Google maps application. The experiments were performed throughout the day and the current and voltage data were automatically captured and graphically presented in an excel spreadsheet. It was found that the fill factor and power conversion efficiency o.....

Flood disaster that occurred in the Kuala Krai district has caused property damage and important data loss in government premises such as schools, rural clinics, and so on. Service record book is among the important documents that were also destroyed. This book is important because all information related to service management will be recorded in the book. A prototype of teacher service record book was built to help solve the problem of such information loss. Meanwhile, usability evaluation was conducted on the system to identify whether it meets user needs. Usability evaluation on the prototype was carried out using four attributes, namely efficiency, effectiveness, ease of learning, and security...
