Video wiper / Nik Adnan Nik Abdullah and Zulkefle Husain
No full textThe main objective of designing the video wiper is to produce a blanked out modulation signal of the video input signal at the beginning of each frame and controlling it during the periods required. The modulation signal of the video input signal will be clipped of the diode clipper circuit but leaves the sync signal intact. The wipe effect can be obtained applying a suitable signal to the control input of the electronic changeover switch. When the picture is required, the direct video signal is switched through to the output. When the lanked screen is required the clipped signal in fed through to the output
Public finances of Selangor and Kelantan: a comparative study / Nik Ibrahim Bin Nik Abdullah
No full textUnit commitment solution in electrical power using Turbo C++/ Nik Ibrahim Nik Abdullah
No full textThe objective of this project is to apply Priority List Method as a method solving of Unit Commitment in electrical power system. Fundamental to the economic operating of a power generation unit is heat rate characteristic. Every generator unit operates at different modes and none of the generator has similar heat rate characteristic. Therefore by manipulating this characteristic, Unit Commitment plans the best set of units to be available to supply the forecasted load demand. Turbo c++ will be used to process the data. Functions such as while, if and for are used to search generator or load status and to make decision for Unit Commitment by considering the start up and shut down rules. In this project, turbo c++ will be used to plan the Unit Commitment on actual daily load data from TNB according to Priority List Method
Improving flux regulation of DTC induction motor drive by modifying the index to the FPGA-based lookup table
No full textDTC is known for its fast torque response, robustness against parameter variation and simple implementation. The performance of DTC drive, however, deteriorates at low speed due to its poor flux regulation. This paper proposes a technique to improve the flux regulation, and it only requires minor changes to the index of the look-up table. With this method, the simple structure of the DTC is retained and the same look-up table can be used. Experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness and viability of the proposed method. It is shown that flux regulation at low speed is improved and rated flux can be established even at zero speed; improvement in the flux regulation significantly improves the torque dynamic.</p
Intellectual capital disclosure: annual report and website / Nik Anis Idayu Nik Abdullah
No full textThis study seeks to explore how companies in Malaysia disclose their intellectual capital (IC) information in the annual reports and websites. It examines the IC reporting practice of top 100 Malaysian companies based on market capitalization by analyzing IC disclosure both in annual reports and websites. This study also compares the annual reports and websites as medium of reporting IC information. In addition, this study analysed the association of various corporate governance mechanisms; board size, board composition, role duality, audit committee size and frequency of audit committee meeting with IC disclosure in both reporting mediums. The data was obtained from the annual reports for the year ended from 31 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 whereas data for companies’ websites were examined from 1 May to 31 May 2013. This study also employed a content analysis based on word count to determine the extent of IC disclosure in annual reports and websites. Inferential statistics were computed to examine the association between corporate governance mechanisms and IC disclosure. The study found that Malaysian companies disclosed more IC information in the annual report as compared to the websites. The analysis shows that none of the corporate governance variables have an association with IC disclosure both in annual reports and websites. This study would be of interest to accounting standard setters because it provides insight into the extensiveness of IC disclosure practices in Malaysia and also enhances their understanding on the need for framework for voluntary disclosures in the annual reports and websites
Synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies / Nik Khairunissa Nik Abdullah Zawawi
No full textBenzimidazoles which form a vital part of vitamin B12 are of wide interest because of their diverse biological activity and clinical application. This privileged structure has gained our interest to explore some new benzimidazole derivatives by combining with other biologically active moieties such as hydrazone, oxadiazole and thiourea. The first part of our work was to synthesize and characterize a total of 61 benzimidazole derivatives bearing different substituents such as hydrazone, oxadiazole and thiourea, by reacting benzimidazole benzoyl hydrazide and various aromatic aldehydes, aromatic acids or phenylisothiocyanates under certain conditions. The second part is to evaluate the synthesized compounds for their cytoprotective activity against cytokine-induced apoptosis in β-cells (20 compounds), α-glucosidase (43 compounds) or β-glucuronidase (18 compounds) inhibition activities. The final part is to construct a structure-activity relationship (SAR) and molecular docking studies in order to understand the mechanism of inhibition. For the first series, twenty six benzimidazole bearing hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for cytoprotective activity against cytokine-induced apoptosis in β-cells and Baker’s yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. In the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines, compounds 208, 211 and 217 were the most potent among all the analogues, in which they increased the cellular ATP levels, inhibited caspase-3 activity, decreased nitrite production and restored GSIS in a dose-dependent manner
Enterprise architecture knowledge for top management / Nik Hazliana Nik Abdullah Hafaz
No full textEnterprise Architecture or EA continues to gain global recognition as the management tool that would improve organization efficiency and productivity and streamline operations. Realizing these benefits depend on extensive assimilation of the tool in the organization. Literature however found that lack of EA knowledge hinders the utilization of EA. It is posited that top management participation has a strong influence on the success of IS innovation assimilation in an organization. Therefore, this research sets out to gauge EA knowledge required for top management to support EA usage. Based on a qualitative research methodology using a single case study approach, this research investigates on the top management roles and EA roles in an organization. The research then identifies the relevant roles and synthesizes the roles to determine the EA knowledge required for top management. A conceptual model of enterprise architecture knowledge is proposed that describes the relationships between the roles of top management and EA knowledge. The data analysis revealed two sets of EA knowledge for top management; business knowledge and technology knowledge. Findings from this research provide academicians and practitioners with knowledge of how to improve EA usage and a structured roadmap for understanding EA in order to achieve high business value
Penyertaan belia dalam program pembangunan kerohanian di Malaysia
No full textKajian ini dijalankan untuk melihat sejauhmana penyertaan belia dalam program
pembangunan kerohanian yang dijalankan di Malaysia. Kajian ini dilaksanakan menggunakan
kaedah tinjauan melalui borang soal selidik yang diedarkan kepada seramai 4,703 orang
golongan belia yang berusia di antara 15 hingga 40 tahun daripada pelbagai bangsa, agama
dan latar belakang di seluruh Malaysia. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan kaedah persampelan
rawak berstrata. Data yang diperoleh telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan ujian deskriptif,
ujian-t dan ujian analisis varians (ANOVA). Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan penyertaan
belia Malaysia dalam program pembangunan kerohanian berada pada tahap yang tinggi iaitu
dengan nilai min = 7.70 daripada 10. Tahap penyertaan belia juga didapati berbeza mengikut
kategori jantina, etnik, agama, kategori sekolah rendah dan menengah, kelayakan akademik
tertinggi dan status dalam program pembangunan kerohanian. Namun, tahap penyertaan belia
ini masih mempunyai ruang untuk ditingkatkan. Ini kerana program pembangunan kerohanian
sepatutnya disertai oleh lebih ramai belia Malaysia kerana program ini disasarkan khusus
kepada belia. Pihak penganjur program perlu melaksanakan program-program yang lebih
mesra belia dan sesuai dengan generasi Y untuk menarik minat mereka
