Maqamat (Assemblies) of al-Hariri
No full text6 figures (3 men, 3 women); one woman playing lute; two male figures and one female holding glasses1) "A second, equally distinctive style emerged during the second quarter of the 14th century. The earliest example is found in a copy of the Maqamat (1333–4; Vienna, Österreich. Nbib., MS. A.F. 9). The style of illustration has many similarities with contemporary Koran illumination (see §3(i) above) and the chinoiserie style found in Iranian manuscripts of the same period (see §§(b) and (c) below). All the manuscripts in this tight group are lavishly decorated. The paintings are executed on a gold ground and have a thick gold frame surrounded by a ruled blue line with finials at each corner. The text is ornamented with whirling gold rosettes and illuminated chapter-headings in the manner of contemporary Korans. Despite the gold ground, the illustrations experiment with landscape and composition; they use the frame to create spatial tension and allow figures or animals to break out of it for increased dramatic effect. These spatial experiments and the exotic flora and fauna depicted—lotuses, peonies, gnarled trees, phoenixes and dragons—show the impact of Chinese pictorial conventions, which were probably received via Persian illustrated manuscripts as well as from the Chinese textiles and porcelains so popular at the Mamluk court. A new figural type with heavy Mongol features and thick black hair is probably intended to resemble members of the Mamluk élite."
2) "Before the end of the 14th century most patrons and collectors of illustrated literary manuscripts were not the Turkish-speaking Mamluks but educated members of the Arabic-speaking middle class, which included the sons of Mamluks. Several illustrated manuscripts contain the names of sons of Mamluks, and, although Arab patrons were not in the habit of adding their names to manuscripts, the name of a tax inspector from Damascus appears on a copy (1323; London, BL, Add. MS. 7293) of the Maqamat (‘Assemblies’) of al-Hariri, which he bought in 1375–6. Many of the texts popular with these patrons—the tales of the roguish adventurer Abu Zayd that al-Hariri brought together in his Maqamat..."full view, 200
Development of welding lung assessment (WELA) as a prognosis tool of lung impairment from heavy metal exposure among Malaysian welder
No full textWelding is a fundamental process of metal joining in metal industries and widely used for mild steel and stainless-steel components. Despite the number of advantages which human can adopt from this technology, this process also produces hazardous gaseous and toxic fumes which later on may affect welder’s health and contribute to environmental pollution. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop the risk prediction model on the lung deterioration upon metal based industrial workers specifically in automotive industry. As for data collection, an experimental study includes physical assessment, questionnaire, biological monitoring will be conducted in both pilot test and industrial case study. Based on the statistical correlation analysis, the risk prediction model will be developed and verified in another metal base industry (Case study 4). A user-friendly software program will be developed by using R-Graphical User Interface (RGUI). The expectation outcome from this study is to develop a new lung risk prediction model on that able to detect on early symptoms of lung deterioration. Hence, it can contribute to better understanding on the effects of heavy metals exposure,.
Behavior and impact of polyamide nylon to the indoor air quality during SLS powder handling process
No full textThe increasing trend associated with Additive Manufacturing (AM) on the application of polyamide-nylon in selective laser sintering (SLS) prototype printing is due to economic and environmental factors. However, number of conducted researches regarding the hazard of exposure to human from powder handling during 3D printing process is very limited especially in the usage of polyamide nylon powder. The emitted particles from the SLS powder handling process were found as a cause to respiratory and cardiovascular disruptions including asthma and lung cancer to the operators. Given AM technology is one of the key focus areas under the National Policy on Industry 4.0, this study aims to support the 4th strategy of Occupational Safety and Health Master Plan 2016-2020 in protecting workers rights to a safe, healthy and conducive working environment. Usually, SLS requires operators to mix virgin and recycle powder or known as refresh rate to feed into SLS chamber. The usage of several type of polyamide nylon which is virgin, recycle and mix powder (refresh rate) appear to be a potential source of dust concentration. This research undergoes characterization to investigates the behaviour of polyamide nylon powder (PA12) in terms of morphology and particle size distribution of polyamide nylon. .
Association between thermal condition, thermal acceptability and student's performance in naturally ventilated classroom for school building enhancement
No full textMalaysian comfort standard based on the MS 1525: 2019 have established for acceptable indoor conditions for comfort cooling in non- residential building. However, no comfort standard for young children had yet been established. Determinants of thermal comfort were assumed to be similar for both children and adults. However, metabolic rate, clothing and limited adaptive behaviour of children may cause differences. The new ASHRAE comfort standard 55-2013 specifies an extension of naturally ventilation standard with elevated air movement up to 0.8 m/s (without personal control) and 1.2 m/s (with personal control). Malaysia has high temperature, high humidity level, and the usage of only ceiling fans in the school buildings may result in the needs of higher air movement than the limit specified by ASHRAE 55-2013 standard. It has been established that thermal comfort is vital to student's perception, health and performance. A conducive classroom should consider both the thermal acceptability range and its effect on the performance of the students. Thus, this study aims to study the relation of thermal acceptability with student's performance and enhance the thermal comfort condition of students in the classroom with ceiling fans through CFD analysis. Physical measurement parameters such as indoor temperature, air velocity, relative humidity and, mean outdoor temperature will be measured along with subjective measurement on thermal acceptability, and performance assessments. .

Conceptual design of a small non-rigid airship with particular attention to its static and dynamic stability
No full textSmall size airships are traditionally designed and built based on experience
rather than scientific approaches. Hence, its design approach has only been
discussed in a very limited number of literatures. Thus, with these challenges at
hand, a conceptual design study of airship in Malaysia was done to identify and
explore the basic technology of airship design. This study focused on the conceptual
design, determination of basic specifications and preliminary design of small size
non-rigid airship for monitoring missions in Malaysia. The preliminary design
focused on static stability, dynamic stability and development of a virtual simulator.
The mathematical model of the designed airship for dynamic stability was rederived
based on literatures and is then programmed to Graphical User Interface (GUI) with
the aid of Matlab software. The airship was designed to fulfill the design
specification suitable for monitoring with maximum speed of 40 km/h, cruising
speed of20 km/h, operating altitude of 120 m and able to carry payload of at least of
6 kg. The dimension of 10 m length with maximum diameter of2.3 m was chosen
with a pair of 0.25 hp engines to accomplish the desired specification. The designed
airship was statically stable with trimmed angle of attack of approximately 0.18
degree. Through mathematical model of airship dynamics, following a detailed
procedure including stability considerations, the airship had been analyzed and found
to be dynamically stable with low control power and the time taken for the
longitudinal response of elevator and vectored thrust to become stable was in the
order of approximately 80 seconds while the lateral response of rudder becomes
stable in approximately 30 seconds. The result of this study concluded that the
designed airship fulfilled the design specification for monitoring mission and the
designed airship was statically and dynamically stable during cruising speed. The
virtual simulator also effectively provides a better understanding of the response of
the designed airship through visualization
