This study was performed to enhance the mastery of multiplication facts 6 to 9 amongst the year 5 pupils. The samples of this study were 40 pupils of year 5 from one of primary school at Teluk Intan, Perak. The samples were divided into two groups, the control group and the treatment group where each group consists of 20 pupils respectively. In this study, new multiplication facts technique, known as 'Teknik Sifir Jari' has been introduced to the treatment group. The objectives of the study are to test the effectiveness of the new technique and to increase multiplication fact fluency among pupils. The instruments that have been used in this study are the achievement tests (pre-test and post-test). The data obtained were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 21.A t-test had also been carried out to test the null hypothesis. The results showed that there was an increment in the students' achievement for the students who were taught using the 'Teknik Sifir Jari'. Therefore, the 'Tekni.....

The research aim's is to produce distinguishable shapes of red blood cells (RBC) by utilizing partial differential equations (PDE). This work employs the solution of a fourth-order elliptic PDE in alliance with a group of boundary conditions as a technique to design the shapes, known as the PDE method. This method can generate various surfaces based on a boundary representation with fewer parameters. Furthermore, it is easy to modify the shape of PDE-based surfaces because it is characterized by data scattered around the boundaries. The findings showed that the PDE method is suitable in designing a normal RBC's shape. In addition, two equations have been obtained from the data regarding the normal RBC's radius and height. These equations can be utilized to transform the parametric design of RBC to abnormal cells by changing the value of some parameters. In conclusion, the PDE method is capable to create smooth parametric surface representations of any given blood cells shape, as well a.....
