THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAMILY SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF FRIENDS IN INFLUENCING THE EXPATRIATE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES MALAYSIA
Authors: Othman Irma Wani
Published: January 2020

The identification of family structure and friendship relations is vital in influencing the expatriate’s experience. A family is defined as a group of individuals who have a family bond through marriage or descent who live together in a life led by a family leader and made up of living spouses, children and immediate family. While friendly relationships refer to good social networks with local employees in creating a conducive environment at work. This study examines the experience of expatriates on their own initiative in pursuing expatiations with family influence and supportive friendships. The question raised is whether expatriates who face less conflict between work and life tend to bring positive aspects of daily life born of a stable family system to work. The choice of case study as the design of the study is to deepen the occurrence of events related to the interaction of the environment of a social unit consisting of individuals, groups, organizations or local communities. The research was carried out by qualifying in-depth qualitative interviews with 30 expatriate academics selected from four Malaysian public universities. Family members' interpretations of the meaning of their experiences of expatriate experience give expatriates a right to remain in their host country. While the moral support of the friendship provides a positive indication of the performance exhibited by the expatriates in the context of their work during their international assignments.

Abstract Development of psychological thought in the contemporary Islamic world background by Islamization movement science and technology. This wave is sweeping across the region, including Indonesia Muslims. Particularly in Indonesia, recent decades among Indonesian Muslim psychologists appear on the psychology of Islamic discourse. The emergence of Islamic discourse psychology can be viewed from two sides. On the one hand, this is an indication of the influence of the waves and the spirit of Islamization of science and technology that have started to emerge since the 1980s. On the other hand, is a reflection of the consciousness of most Indonesian Muslim psychologists are beginning to understand the limitations of psychology in explaining the reality of human existence in the plenary. Enthusiasm for the emergence of Islamic Psychology encourages the implementation of various symposia, seminars, and publishing a book on the psychology of Islam. But this movement is still periferial, although it should be recognized that these discourses have led to fundamental problems, or in other words, some psychologists Muslim Indonesia began in earnest to realize the limitations of psychological theories that have been established in expressing real human existence. Thus the need to conduct a study of alternatives in discussing human. To realize this, of course not impossible though not without obstacles. Some of the main inhibiting factor is the attitude of Muslim psychologists are not uniform, namely: apathy, fanatical, secularists, and idealistic antagonist. Other inhibiting factors are partially psychologist Muslim fascination with theories that have been established and developed that does not come from Islam. Keywords: Psychological of Islamic,  social-education

Spread spectrum communication is a communication method that deliberately makes the bandwidth of the transmitted waveform larger than would be required to transmit the data over the channel.One of the most encouraging multiplexing techniques for present and forthcoming telecommunications services, such as private communications, ad-hoc wireless communications, third-generation cellular telephony and sensor networks, is the CDMA(code division multiple access) implemented with direct-sequence (DS) signaling. DS-CDMA's benefits include superior operation in multi-path settings, flexibility in channel allocation, enhanced capacity in fading settings, and the capability to share bandwidth with narrowband communication technologies without deteriorating the efficiency of either system. In our work,we are proposing a new know-ba strategy to dismissing interference where originally monitoring signal environment with high precision is called from the library and subsequently based on data that is appropriate for dismissing interference. Various interference scenarios are simulated using computer simulations to show the efficiency of the method.

The signal propagation over wireless channels cannot be predicted perfectly due to numerous factors such as fading, channel interference and obstacles. An interference footprint is required to be estimated accurately for evaluation of the spatial spectrum opportunity. It is difficult to determine the spatial spectrum opportunities available in uplink bands of cellular networks due to different location of primary users at different times. In this research work, spatial spectrum opportunity in uplink bands of cellular network is determined using an efficient computational geometry tool for realistic scenario. Our results shows that the performance of umbrella footprints based approach is better than that of conventional circular footprints based approach in terms of false alarm and missed detection probabilities.

During propagation of the compression seismic P-waves, the tunnels are subjected to ovaling deformations. In cases where the soil stiffness is varying along the tunnel cross-section, tunnel lining may take sharper deformed shapes and subjected to magnified bending moments and thrust forces. This paper investigates the effect of the soil stratification on the seismic behavior of circular tunnels under P-waves loading. A 2D finite element models with time history earthquake (EQ) analysis were performed accounting for different tunnel/soil interface slippage conditions. The finite element analysis results were compared with recent analytical solution for calculating the seismic forces of the tunnel lining. The study proved that soil stratification has a great effect on the tunnel seismic forces and it should be considered in the analysis and design. Illustrative curves were presented in this paper to give approximate magnification factors for the anticipated forces. It should be used as a guide in the preliminary design stage.

Earthquake is a natural calamity. It has been observed that the earthquake has proved to be more fatal in today’s time. The prime reason for this catastrophe is the extermination of the man-made structures during the earthquake, Lack of lateral strength and stability in the man-made structure is the prime reason for their demolition during the earthquake. Mostly man-made structure is multistory buildings for this reason that is necessary for the multistory building to withstand against seismic activities. For the past few decades, some new methods have been adopted to make multistory building laterally strong and stable, a shear wall is one of them which are a structural member which provides lateral stiffness and strength to the structure. The earthquake can be even more lethal on sloping land. This paper studies the influence of shear wall in the multistory building built on sloping ground. For this purpose, four different models have been taken. Modal one is the conventional rigid frame building and the remaining three models are kept with the shear wall. All conditions (ground slope, material, seismic zone, soil condition, etc.) Except for the size of the shear wall are identical. The linear static analysis has been carried out to evaluate the story shear and its reduction as a result in all three cases. The entire analysis is done on software called sap: 2000.

This paper projects a high performance decoupled current control using a dq synchronous reference frame for single-phase inverter. For the three-phase inverter the conversion from AC to DC with Proportional Integral controller grants to obtain steady state error for AC Voltages and currents but has a few challenges with the single-phase systems. Hence, an orthogonal pair (β) is created by shifting the phase by one quarter cycle with respect to the real component (α) which is needed for the transformation from stationary to rotating frame. The synchronous reference frame control theory helps in controlling the AC voltage by using DC signal as the reference with the proportional integrator controllers. The implementation of the control is done with two-stage converter with LCL filter for a single-phase photovoltaic system. A modified MPPT Incremental conductance algorithm along with decoupled current control helps in regulating the active and reactive power infused into the grid where the power factor is improved, the efficiency of the system is increased above 95% and total harmonic distortion for current is also reduced to3%. The results have been validated using MATLAB.

Rehabilitation of patients suffering from post-stroke injuries via robots is now adapted word widely. The aim of this therapy is to restore and improve the dysfunction and the performance of the affected limbs doing repetitive tasks with the help of rehabilitation robots, as robots are best way to perform repetitive task without any monotony failure. Control of these rehabilitation robots is an important part to consider because of nonlinearity and uncertainty of the system. This paper presents nonlinear sliding mode controller (SMC) for controlling a 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) upper limb robotic manipulator. Sliding mode control is able to handle system uncertainties and parametric changes. One drawback of using SMC is high frequency oscillations called as chattering. This chattering can be reduced by using boundary layer technique. Experiments have been carried out under perturbed conditions and results have shown that SMC performs well and remain stable and thus proves to robust controller for upper limb robotic manipulator.

The two major concerns in today’s electrical distribution system are the potential damage from fault stress and the costs associated with power outages. The optimal way to limit fault stress is to clear the fault in the shortest amount of time. Unfortunately, clearing the fault within the shortest amount of time might sacrifice coordination and lead to broader power outages. Zone Selective Interlocking Coordination assures the possible sustaining of faults for over currents and voltages with different faults. The circuit breaker operation and principle depend upon the open and close operation for the continuity of supply/service. To reduce the stress on the system, generated energy during fault conditions to be considered and its coordination to be checked.

Optimizing the Distribution of Memristance Values of Memristive Synapses for Reducing Power Consumption in Analog Memristor Crossbar Based Neural Networks
Authors:   HCMC University of Technology and Education, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam., Truong Son Ngoc
Published: January 2020

Memristor circuits have become one of the potential hardware-based platforms for implementing artificial neural networks due to a lot of advantageous features. In this paper, we compare the power consumption between an analog memristor crossbar-based a binary memristor crossbar-based neural network for realizing a two-layer neural network and propose an efficient method for reducing the power consumption of the analog memristor crossbar-based neural network. A two-layer neural network is implemented using the memristor crossbar arrays, which can be used with analog synapse or binary synapse. For recognizing the test samples of MNIST dataset, the binary memristor crossbar-based neural work consumes higher power by 19% than the analog memristor-based neural network. The power consumption of the analog memristor crossbar-based neural network strongly depends on the distribution of memristance values and it can be reduced by optimizing the distribution of the memristance values. To improve the power efficiency, the bias resistance must be selected close to high resistance state. The power consumption of the analog memristor-based neural network is reduced by 86% when increasing the bias resistance from 20KΩ to 160KΩ. For the bias resistance of 160KΩ, analog memristor crossbar-based neural network consumes less power by 89% than the binary memristor crossbar-based neural network.

Columns are the primary element of a structure and are the first element to face the effect of lateral load during an earthquake. To resist such lateral seismic loading high strength and ductile steel frames with higher energy absorption capacity are generally preferred. The nominal ductile capacity of the steel can be boosted up with additional wrapping that could optimize the seismic performance significantly. The present work deals on the behaviour of cold-formed steel beam and cold formed steel column wrapped with latex layers for strengthening. The specimens were subjected to reversed quasi-static cyclic loading to partially simulate the seismic forces. Experimental results shows significant increase in strength capacity of beam-column with latex layer wrapping.

To have the maximum benefits of nanofluid for high film coefficient, like hybrid composite materials in the material’s revolution, the hybrid nanofluid was prepared and its performance was realized by experimentation. In this investigation, the prepared Al2O3 (50%) – CuO (50 %)/water hybrid nanofluid was used as a coolant for making pen barrel in injection moulding machine. For experimentation, the three process parameters viz., Volume Fraction (VF), Volume Flow Rate (VFR) and Temperature (Temp) were controlled and optimized by using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array to yield the maximum film coefficient. To optimize it, total nine different experiments were conducted by controlling these factors. All these three parameters were considered in three levels. Regression equation was established to predict film coefficient by incorporating independently controllable process parameters. Based on the optimization result, it was found that the high film coefficient was achieved at 0.2 %, 6 LPM and 35 °C of VF, VFR and Temp of hybrid nanofluid respectively.

Tainting devastate the feat of bushings. Conductors are insulated inside the bushing that carry a high voltage current through a grounded enclosure. An aspiration is to study the pollution performance of bushings tainted by Nitrates.Arc flash tests of 1kV,11kV,17.5kV bushings are tainted by three types of salts such as NaCl, NaNO3, KNO3. The morsels are negotiated under habitual environment as per IEC 60507. The impact of tainting salts with their solubility on Equivalent Salt Deposit Density (ESDD) and bushings arc flash voltage are scrutinized. The effect of tainted salts on arc flash fruition, the sway of volume conductivity and Equivalent Salt Deposit Density (ESDD) under different percentages are also scrutinized. The research upshot reveals that the Equivalent Salt Deposit Density (ESDD) rate escalated with escalating salt content. When salt concentration gets escalated then conductivity also get escalated. When Equivalent Salt Deposit Density (ESDD) get Escalated then the arc flash voltage and leakage current get slacken. Finally, the graphs are drawn between ESDD and Arc flash voltage, Conductivity and Salt concentration, Arc flash voltage and Leakage current are obtained using MATLAB software.

Cement production is one of the major C02 emitter which contributes around 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. So the Engineers are in the need of developing alternate material for cement to reduce the effect of vulnerable climatic changes in the world. This paper aims at presenting the experimental study on effect of combination of silica rich minerals with fly ash based geopolymer concrete. Fly ash was found to be successful in enhancing the performance of geopolymer concrete. The Utilization of more industrial wastes will promisingly contribute for reducing the environmental pollution. To determine the effective admixture combination with fly ash in geopolymer concrete, industrial wastes such as silica fume, GGBS, Metakaolin, palm oil fly ash were used. The concrete mixes were designed with 60 percentile of fly ash and 40 percentile of other industrial wastes to replace the cement in Geopolymer concrete. The Concrete specimens were casted and cured at different conditions namely Oven curing, Steam curing and sunlight. The Compressive, tensile and flexural strength behaviors were determined for the designed concrete mixes and the results were presented.

Spatial data, also called geospatial data, is term needed to describe data linked to or containing knowledgeable data about a particular location on Earth’s surface. Spatial data mining's primary goal is to uncover hidden complicated information from spatial & non-spatial information in spite of their enormous quantity and find the spatial relations density. Spatial Data Mining techniques, however, continue to be an expansion of individuals utilized in standard data mining. Spatial Data is an extremely challenging area since enormous quantities of spatial data have been obtained from the remote sensed to the GIS (Geographic Information Systems), ecological estimation, computer cartography, planning and many more. In a given paper, we only focus on an essential type of spatial vagueness termed as spatial fuzziness. Spatial fuzziness intakes the property of several spatial objects in certainty which don’t contain boundaries of sharp type and interiors or whose boundaries as well as interiors can't be determined in precise form. This paper provides the method for finding fuzzy spatial data of association rule. Association rules provided valuable data in the assessment of important correlations observed in big databases. Compared to the previous research work, the current approach for there search highlights the superiority over the same dataset in terms of time taken and generated rules. The rules generated tell about the occurrence of attributes. The results show that the current research is more efficient than that of the previous work and also less time-consuming.

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed in this paper for the design of a wide bandwidth, high gain and directive CPW-fed slot-dipole antenna. The proposed antenna is built on a FR4 substrate that is cheap and easy to produce. Genetic Algorithm is used to select parameters that reflect antenna geometry to achieve wider bandwidth and reduced return loss (parameter S11) and high gain values at resonant frequency. The antenna design shows a wide operating bandwidth of 1.4 GHz (simulated) and 1.3 GHz (measured) over the X-band, a return loss (S11) of -25.83 dB (simulated) and -23.08 (measured) and a gain and directivity of 5.61 dB (simulated) and 11.87 dB (simulated) at 10.5 GHz resonating frequencies. In this work, all simulations were performed using the ANSYS HFSS v14.0 software. A prototype antenna was produced and then characterized using VNA to validate the design. Measurement results were in good agreement with the results simulated using ANSYS HFSS.

The enormous consumption of energy has led to the fact of saving it at large. To negate the loss of energy, the present work commences research in the field of Thermal Energy Storage in its latent form incorporating Phase Changing Material (PCM) in circular oriented copper Ball Structure. Heating of PCM (by an electric heater) inferred in these copper balls continues till 85˚C(well beyond the melting point of selected PCM), and then when disconnected, PCM discharges gradually giving off the heat accumulated within. Considering 30litres of water in Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Tank(LHTES), for a family of four, the research intends to investigate the prolonged duration of time required to keep the water warm. The consequence presents that the time required to charge(heat) water is 4.6 hours(270minutes) and discharge(heat is given off) is 29hours(1740 minutes). Thus proving significant potential in keeping water warm for better performance in a circular orientation.
