INVENTION Threshold Concepts in Military Officers' Education
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Deriving from a doctoral study, this model discusses threshold concepts needed to facilitate
successful ontological shifts in becoming a military officer. Drawing from threshold concept theory,
the model provides a helpful analytical tool to examine the process deemed necessary for
transformation from civilian status to thinking and practising as a soldier and consequently a military
officer. Combined with phenomenography as the research methodology, the research involved
seven higher ranking officers, 24 military trainers, and 29 officer cadets from two reputable military
education institutions in Europe. The findings show that there are two ontological shifts that
transform a civilian to become an officer. During Phase I, the first ontological shift in becoming a
soldier involves the acceptance of discipline and obedience, recognition of a framework of related
ethics and values, loyalty to the unit (collective above individual needs) and a sense of obligation.
Meanwhile, Phase II will require a soldier to understand the concept of personal responsibility for
the execution of mission, putting others before self, and the ‘power to command’ to complete the
transformation in becoming a military officer.

INVENTION Developing A Holistic Ethnic Tolerance Index in Malaysia
RESEARCH FIELD
National Security
In Malaysia, a stable ethnic relations is prerequisite for the country stability and for other types of
developments to proceed. One of the major factors that contribute the strength of ethnic relation is
the tolerant attitude. Even though the government has encouraged people to practice tolerant
attitude, ethnic tension is still prevailing. This study will propose to measure three main variables
that influence the inter-ethnic tolerance which are the religion, ethnic cross relationship and
governance. To fulfil the objectives of the study a survey was carried out among students at three
public research universities in Klang Valley. This location was chosen since there have been many
ethnic clashes occurred here such as Kampong Medan incident. The calculation of the ethnic
tolerant index (ETI) is based on the formula used to determine Malaysian youth index 2015 (IBM
2015). Based on the data obtained it shows that the Malaysian university students of these three
universities is highly tolerated which means they possess high level tolerant attitude.

INVENTION Defence Expenditures of Selected Countries in Southeast Asia
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Most if not all countries in Southeast Asia have continued to increase their defence expenditures
since the end of the Cold War. However, the literature in this area is still lacking and another similar
study merely focuses on countries in the Middle East and the Far East. This study aims: (1) To
analyse the trends in defence expenditures of selected countries in Southeast Asia, namely
Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand and (2) To identify other factors that
may affect their defence expenditures. This study applies a qualitative research method called
content analysis from the Military Balance online database by compiling defence expenditures data
in selected countries in Southeast Asia from 1988 to 2007 for the first aim and reviews existing
literatures on factors that may affect their defence expenditures for the second aim of this study.
Results show that there is a decreasing trend for defence expenditures as a percentage of GDP
and an increasing trend of the actual amount of defence expenditures. This study also indicates that
there are other factors that may affect their defence expenditures: military technological
advancements; quality, prestige and force-multipliers and arms race or maintaining the status quo.
The contribution of the study is to verify evidences that these selected Southeast Asia countries
need to develop their own defence for their national sovereignty and integrity to replace old and
antiquated military equipment, as well as attaining prestige and force-multipliers effects to achieve a
form of national status and enhancing the military capabilities of their armed forces.

INVENTION Nata de coco for propellant used
RESEARCH FIELD
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
Nitrocellulose has attracted great interest amongst researchers due to its uses in wide range of
products including paint and gun propellant. Therefore, this work focuses on the synthesis of
nitrocellulose from bacterial cellulose via nitration method. It is important to obtain cellulose nitrate
with high percentage nitrogen content so that it can be used as an ingredient in propellant. The
sample were characterized by elemental analysis, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy
and field emission electron morphology (FESEM). FTIR shows the presence of NO2 groupin
nitrocellulose, proving that is was successfully synthesized by nitration method. This result was
supported by FESEM result which demonstrates different morphologies between pure and modified
cellulose. As a conclusion the optimum reaction time and temperature obtained in syhtesizing
nitrocellulose is 35min and 35oC with nitrogen content 12.87%

INVENTION Rational Design of Hybrid f-MWCNT/P3HT Based Chemiresistor for Detection of Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA)
RESEARCH FIELD
Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure
Conducting polymer-based sensing devices has been recently the subject of intense scientific
research especially in chemical warfare agent (CWA), volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and
pesticides detection. Hydrogen bonding interaction between the organophosphorus group and
conducting polymer will induce the change of resistivity and photoconductivity making it sensible
operation as chemiresistor. However, due to the poor stability of polymer it may possess significant
limitation in gas sensor application. Therefore, the need of new sensors exhibiting a high selectivity
and a total reliability in connection with smart systems and efficient for pre-detection and post-
detection technology is substantial. Herein, we reported the fabrication of a chemiresistive sensor
using hybrid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT) integrated onto poly(3-
hexyltiophene) (P3HT) matrix. Hybrid f-MWCNT/P3HT film were obtained by drop cast and spin
coated on electrodes prior to chemical and physical analysis. The integration of polymer with
dispersed carbon nanotubes is expected to promote sub-ppm chemiresistive detection by high
surface to volume for gas adsorption and carrier’s mobility. Non-covalent wrapping of the carbon
nanotube will improve the stability of the polymer at ambient temperature. In conclusion, this design
is expected to give fast response, and high sensitivity in the performance of chemiresistive sensors.

INVENTION A New Generation Coolant: Nanocarbon in Ethylene Glycol and Deionized Water Based Nanofluids
RESEARCH FIELD
Climate Change, Environment and Sustainability
The emerging of nanofluids for thermal management systems for new generation of coolant has
attract the attention of many researchers. The addition of small amount nanoparticles may enhance
the thermo-physical properties of the conventional fluids. Therefore, the application of nanofluids in
the field involves high density power with smaller and lighter equipment are crucial. Thus, in this
work, the coolant capability has been tested using a mini heat transfer rig system. A model was built
from the components in a CPU liquid cooling system which consists of water block, heat exchanger,
liquid pump, reservoir tank and tubes which run using the direct current. The thermal analysis then
was conducted by observed the temperature difference of the water block. The resulting result
shows that there is the reduction in the observed temperature of the water block. It can be
concluded that the prepared nanofluids, with good fluidity, stability, and high thermal conductivity, is
a potential advanced coolant in thermal energy engineering and energy consumption saving.

INVENTION Applying Total Quality Management In Supply Chain Management: A Study At Naval Logistics Depots
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
The purpose of this study is to come up with a conceptual framework that examines the relationship
between different practices of total quality management (TQM) and supply chain management
(SCM). Five TQM practices, namely leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, human
resource management and process management were adopted from Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award (MBNQA) to test the relationship between TQM and SCM. This was a cross-
sectional study where the results were based on logistics depots in the naval organisation. Self-
administered survey questionnaires were distributed to the logistics officers and personnel at the
depots. A total of 250 survey questionnaires were collected out of 280 survey questionnaires
distributed which represented a response rate of 90%. The results revealed that leadership,
strategic planning, customer focus, human resource management and process management were
found significantly related to SCM. This study can greatly contribute to the naval logistics depots
focusing on or planning to implement TQM. The results of this study can bring a deeper and better
understanding of the relationship between TQM practices and SCM to top management so that the
related TQM practices can be applied in establishing a systematic and competitive SCM. Besides,
depots which have not implement the two management systems together can gain a better
understanding and able to implement the two systems together efficiently and effectively through
this study.

INVENTION Complexity in the vascular blood vessel model with variable fractional and external disturbances
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
A variable fractional-order vascular blood vessel (VOFVBV) system under the influence of different
external disturbances is proposed. Specifically, those external disturbances includes periodic
forces, stochastic signal and time delay force. Its numerical analysis is then carried out by
employing bifurcation diagram, phase portrait, multiscale C0 complexity measure and multiscale 0-1
test. Rich dynamics including chaos are found in the system. Specifically, the noise and non-
constant derivative order functions make the system more complex such that the risk of vascular
disease is increased. Results obtained provide a reference for diagnosing vascular disease in a
complex environment from human body.

INVENTION Effect of HNO3 treated TiO2 on Structural and Electrical Properties of Hexanoyl Chitosan/Polystyrene-LiCF3SO3-TiO2 Composite Polymer Electrolytes
RESEARCH FIELD
Energy and Water Security
In searching for solutions to reduce battery weight for military applications, films of composite
polymer electrolytes comprised of hexanoyl chitosan/polystyrene containing lithium
trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3) and titanium oxide were prepared using solution casting
technique. Two types of TiO2 filler were used, which are untreated TiO2 and HNO3-treated TiO2.
The effect of untreated and HNO3-treated TiO2 on the structural and electrical behavior of the
prepared electrolyte systems has been investigated by using X-ray diffraction and impedance
spectroscopy, respectively. The ac conductivity was calculated using σ(ω) = σdc + Aωs formula in
the temperature range from 283 K to 353 K. The conduction mechanism of the H-chitosan/PS-
LiCF3SO3-TiO2 and H-chitosan/PS-LiCF3SO3-treated TiO2 can be interpreted based on the
correlated barrier hoping model at 4 and 6 wt.% of TiO2 respectively.

INVENTION Conductive Biopolymer Based on Derivative of Chitosan With Imidazolium Ionic Liquid For Application In Electrochemical Devices
RESEARCH FIELD
Energy and Water Security
Chitosan, the most abundant and basic biopolymer is chosen as a polymer host in this solid
electrolyte film. Derivative of chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan (CM-chitosan) is prepared via
chemical modification where a carboxyl group (COO-) is substituted into the biopolymer matrix. The
sustainability of CM-chitosan that is found in renewable sources such as shells of crustaceans is
important in order to avoid depletion of the raw material and promotes environmental friendly. High
basicity ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim][OAc]), acts as charge carrier and
plasticizer in this system. Flexible and transparent CM-chitosan/[Bmim][OAc] electrolyte film has
been successfully prepared using solution casting technique. The ionic conductivity, (σ) of the
electrolytes increase significantly with the increase of weight percentage, (wt.%) of [Bmim][OAc].
The highest σ attained is (3.05 ± 0.35) x 10-3 Scm-1 at ambient temperature. The complexation and
interactions of CM-chitosan and [Bmim][OAc] was confirmed by FTIR analysis. XRD diffractograms
revealed that inclusion of [Bmim][OAc] has increased the amorphous nature of CM-chitosan. SEM
observations showed the smoother surface morphologies of the polymer electrolytes as the wt.% of
[Bmim][OAc] increases due to the plasticizing effect of the ionic liquid. Linear sweep voltammetry
analysis showed that the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte achieved up to ±2.8 V and
transference number analysis confirmed that ions predominate the conduction of electrolyte with
±0.980 ion transference number. These promising results showed that the electrolytes have
potential to be applied in electrochemical devices and suitable to be utilized in the defence and
security field.

INVENTION Effect of Gamma Radiation on Micromechanical Behaviour In Microelectronics Packaginf for Military Device Application
RESEARCH FIELD
Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure
Electronic packaging is the technology relating to the establishment of electrical interconnections
and it is a major discipline within the field of electronics engineering. Packaging of an electronics
system must consider the protection from mechanical damage, cooling, radio frequency noise
emission and protection from electrostatic charge. Solder had been widely used as interconnection
materials for microelectronic package. Nevertheless, solder joint in radiation need higher resistance
to any damage caused by ionizing radiation. In this study a lead-free solder alloy
96.5Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu Wt.% (SAC) was developed and subjected to various doses of gamma radiation
and used Nano indentation approach in order to investigate the effect of the radiation to
micromechanical properties of the solder. The data were analysed based on Oliver and Phar
method. The results showed that the hardness, H and elastic modulus, E of SAC solder changed
when exposed to gamma rays. The hardness was increased when exposed to the highest dose.
The relationship between H and E are interesting to obtain the plastic deformation behaviour. An
approximate correlation between the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus in indentation is found.

SPSS software. From the descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient, the result
indicates that military are ready in the disaster planning, logistic, human resources, risk
assessment, civil military cooperation and communication. Moreover, the war preparation also can
be use into disaster response depending to the situation. Hence, from the disaster readiness
instruments, the readiness of military preparation for war is more than 80% while the readiness for
disaster response is less than that. However, this result does not indicate that military is not ready
for disaster. The cooperation between military, other agencies and communities are high in
managing the disaster. In future, this study can be used for expanding the knowledge of the
disaster readiness among military and can be used for further research. This study also contributed
in the policy review where the authorities can amendment the old policy in line with time passage.
The finding of this study also practically can be used for any organization in preparing the disaster
management.

RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Disaster is a serious disruption that could result in major deaths, illness, and substantial economic
or social disruption. It also can cause a lot of damage, human suffering, poverty as well as
community’s psychological and emotional disturbance. In Malaysia, disaster such as flood and
landslide are frequent phenomenon. There were also a few cases of earthquake and mudslide in
Sabah and Cameron Highland, Pahang. In all these scenarios, the infantry soldiers are one of the
first mover to provide response and conduct search and rescue. The infantry soldiers’ knowledge,
skills and abilities, training, welfare and morale are important factors to consider in performing their
tasks during disaster response. In addition, infantry soldiers’ commitment also play important roles
towards achieving successful disaster response. The objective of this study is to determine the level
of infantry soldiers’ human resource factors, i.e. knowledge, training, welfare, morale, commitment
and in performing disaster response operations. In addition, this study also aims to determine the
relationship between human resource factors with effective disaster response management and to
determine the most significant contribution toward disaster response and recovery. The research
design of this study is descriptive and correlational, applying quantitative research method. 1764

Data collected through the questionnaire survey were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. From the
descriptive analysis, all human resource factors i.e. knowledge, training, welfare and morale with
commitment have very satisfied level. Then, from the correlation analysis, Knowledge is r= .703,
Training is r= .778, Welfare is r=.708, Morale is r= .739 and Commitment is r=.718. Finding from
regression analysis the largest beta coefficient obtained was Training .278 and this corresponds
with the highest t-statistic of 10.167. This means that this variable make the strongest unique
contribution in explaining the dependent variable Response and Recovery. The findings of this
study suggested that the infantry soldiers do have the knowledge, skills, abilities, training, welfare
and morale in conducting disaster response operations. In conclusion, these human resource
factors are achieving the expected level. This suggest that the infantry soldiers do require additional
knowledge and training in conducting disaster response operations. These human resource factors
can be developed through comprehensive disaster operations training and education.

INVENTION Development of elemental speciation method (HPLC-ICPMS/MS-ESI-MS) for identification of unknown F-compounds
RESEARCH FIELD
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrospray ionisation-mass
spectrometry (ESI-MS) is commonly used to elucidate the structure of compounds depending on
the polarity and ionisability of the compounds. However, this method (HPLC-ESI-MS) is limited to
standard availability, thus the metabolism, by-products or degradation products of organic
compounds not easily be studied. The study focused on fluorinated compounds, which are very
useful in many applications such as pharmaceutical, food security, materials, energy and consumer
products due to its strong C-F bond. These advantageous have led to the continuous production of
different fluorinated formulation, which causes the accumulation of 60-90% of unidentified
fluorinated compounds in the environment. Since fluorine has small mass deficiency, it is not an
easy task to screen successfully all fluorinated compounds including those which are not easy
ionisable. Driven by this issue, a novel non-targeted method has been developed for fluorine-
specific detection by coupling the HPLC simultaneously to inductively couple plasma tandem mass
spectrometry (ICPMS/MS) and ESI-MS. The simultaneous fluorine specific detection with
ICPMS/MS could help in mining the ESI-MS data by identification where the fluorinated compounds
elute so that the mass spectrum of this retention time can be scrutinised for fluorinated compounds.
Although fluorine is not normally detected by ICPMS, the novel approach to transfer F- into [BaF]+
in the argon plasma detected fluorine in sub-ppm level. The method has illustrates that the non-
ionisable fluorine-containing compounds were detected and quantified by the element-specific
detection of ICPMS/MS. Hence, HPLC-ICPMS/MS-ESI-MS can be used as a non-targeted method
of F-compounds to helps the identification of unknown F-compounds in various samples and helps
with mining the huge ESI-MS data.

INVENTION Production enhancement of mutant phosphotriesterase for detection and decontamination of chemical warfare agent (CWA).
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
The wild type of phosphotriesterase (PTE) as an enzyme that able to hydrolyse and detoxify
organophosphate compounds and chemical warfare agents cannot be disputed. G-type of nerve
agents which are tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD) and cyclosarin (GF) are among the most
hazardous compounds known that affects the nervous system and may lead to death. PTE mutant
is the most proficient enzyme reported thus far for the detoxification of G-type nerve agents.
However, the low expression of PTE mutant, hamper the study of this enzyme towards substrate
specificity and not sufficient for the production of industry. To overcome this problem, in silico study
and 3 different growth media were employed. In this study, the recombinant PTE mutant was
successfully cloned into pET51b+ and expressed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) expression system. The
molecular weight of PTE mutant was approximately ~40 kDa as visualized at SDS-PAGE. The
protein of PTE mutant in autoinduction media shown higher compared with commercial media
which is 36.5mg/mL. Moreover, the hydrolysis activity also shown higher in mono phosphate
compound by able to hydrolysis 48.2 U/mL in one min. In addition, in sillico study revealed that
substrate selectivity of PTE mutant favour higher molecular weight base on higher binding energy
between ethyl paraoxon with the active site compared to methyl paraoxon. A suitable growth media
generally enhance the production and hydrolysis activity of PTE mutant. This enzyme may be
utilized for detection and decontamination purposes.

INVENTION Salicydilamidoxime: a potential drug for chemical war agent poisoning treatment
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Chemical war agent poisonings are due to inhibition of acethylcholinesterase (AChE) to breakdown
of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. Discovery of a new broad-spectrum antidote for
organophosphate poisoning treatments will be a major breakthrough in management of chemical
war agent exposure incidents. As part of an attempt to find a new drug for the treatment, an in-
silico and in-vitrro studies to screen for a potent reactivator for organophosphorus poisonings was
carried out. YASARA , the bioinformatics tool was used to perform docking study between
potential reactivators and organophospahate-inhibited AChE. Docking of salicydilamidoxime with
malathion yields a binding energy of 7.0 kcal/mol, with the distance between the nucleophile from
salicydilamidoxime to the phosphorus atom of malathion of 4.05 Å. The high binding energy
suggests that salicydilamidoxime has the potential to release the malathion from the malathion-
AChE complex. The ability of salicydilamidoxime in reactivating of the malathion-inhibited AChE
was further evaluated in-vitro on human whole blood. The increase in AChE level after reactivating
with salicydilamidoxime was observed, therefore supports the in-silico finding that suggests
salicydilamidoxime is a potential compound for malathion-inhibited AChE reactivator.

Maximum limit of human visibility without the assist of equipment is 1000 metre based on
international Commission on Illumination. The use of a camera at a location outside for the purpose
of navigation, monitoring, remote sensing and robotic movement sometimes yield images that are
observed are interrupted by haze, fog, smoke, steam and water drops. Fog is the random
movement of the water drops in the air that normally exists in the early morning. This disorder
causes a differential image observed experience low contrast, obscure, and difficult to identify

obstacles atmospheric particles or drops of water during image observed. Generally, images with
atmospheric particles contains a homogeneous texture like brightness and a heterogeneous texture
which is the object that exists in the atmosphere. This study focusing in single image due to the
more practical method to solve the problem occurred in recent camera application. For the prior
knowledge based is refer to the research made by He that proposed the dark channel prior as main
characteristic to estimate the transmission depth in the image. The result can be occurred with less
atmospheric particles but this method will use much time processing to calculate transmission map,
distort the colour and dependent of model accuracy and image light. Pre-processing method based
on the dark channel prior, statistical measure of contrast vision and prior knowledge, still produces
good image quality but less effective when faced with Halo or ring light, and strong lighting. This
study is estimated to be able to propel the development of machine vision industry aimed at

INVENTION Hybrid Rocket Propellant
RESEARCH FIELD
Climate Change, Environment and Sustainability
Hybrid rocket propellant combines the features of solid and liquid propellants. Hybrid rockets are
safe due to various factors such as distinct physical states of fuel and oxidizer, on-board restart
ability, fuel insensitivity to combustion instability, throttling capability, reduced environmental impact,
and low manufacturing cost. These unique features of the hybrid propulsion system make them
suitable for a variety of space applications such as the sounding rocket, upper stage launch
vehicles, and suborbital and orbital human space flight. Besides the advantages mentioned above,
the solid fuels do have certain drawbacks such as a low fuel regression rate and a varying oxidizer-
to-fuel ratio during the combustion. The diffusion-flame-limited combustion in the hybrid rocket
motor has been cited as the main cause for low regression rate and poor combustion efficiency.
Experimental studies were conducted on palm-based fuel (stearic acid) that can be used for high
regression rate applications in hybrid rocket engines. Regression rates and core data collected are
useful for the preparation of hybrid rocket fuel. This research explore the combined analysis done in
pure palm-based wax that can be used as solid fuel in a hybrid rocket engine. The measurement of
pure palm wax calorific value was performed using a bomb calorimeter. An experimental rocket
engine and static test stand facility were established. After initial measurement and calibration,
repeated procedures were performed. Instrumentation supplies carried out allow fuel regression
rate measurements, oxidizer mass flow rates and thrust and specific impulse measurements.
Calculated data and experiments show that regression rates and higher thrust can be achieved
even in pure-tested palm-based wax. However due to high amount of unburned fuel escaping the
nozzle the thrust and impulse may not be optimized. The unburned fuel is due to low melting point
of stearic acid resulting in layers of unburned liquefied fuel escaping the nozzle.
Additionally, palm-based wax is mixed with aluminium characterized by higher nominal melting
temperatures to increase moisturizing points to higher temperatures without affecting regression
rate values. Calorie measurements and ballistic experiments were performed on this new fuel
formulation. This new formulation promises driving applications in a wide range of temperatures.
Further development of the palm based hybrid rocket fuel shall be carried out using CNT to
increased mechanical strength of palm-based wax without sacrificing regression rates requires
extensive research and development work to meet the needs of high thrust engines.

these three factors were investigated in this work. The sample were then characterized by
elemental analysis, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and surface electron morphology
(SEM). FTIR shows the presence of NO2 groups in nitrocellulose, proving that it was successfully
synthesized by nitration method. This result was supported by SEM result which demonstrates
different morphologies between pure and modified cellulose. As a conclusion, high nitrogen content
was obtained (12.87%) with 1:3 molar ratio of nitration mixture at 35oC for 35 min reaction time.

INVENTION An Antifouling Electrode as a Sensing Platform for the Development of An Electrochemical Immunosensor for the Detection of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
RESEARCH FIELD Medical and Healthcare
In this project, fabrication of an antifouling electrode based on electrode-organic layer-nanoparticles
construct is discussed which will then be utilized as a sensing platform for the development of
electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of HbA1c, a diabetes biomarker. Antifouling
electrode is required to overcome the main challenge in electrochemical biosensors, when they are
exposed to biological media, is the possibility of interference from nonspecific protein adsorption,
referred to as biofouling. An electrochemical immunosensor based on indirect sandwich format is
used for the detection of HbA1c where it is based on the antigen-antibody interaction on the
electrode surface. The determination of HbA1c (antigen) is based on the catalysis of the substrate
by the enzyme labels immobilised on the ‘sandwich’ modified electrode surface, which the reduction
of the substrate will generate an electric signal on the electrode surface. The indirect sandwich
immunoassay was developed using an IgG secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish
peroxidase (HRP) as the enzyme label and ferrocenemethanol (FcMetOH)/H2O2 was used as the
enzyme mediator/substrate system. The reduction current obtained from the electrocatalytic
reaction of mediator is proportional to the concentration of Ab2-HRP conjugate, thus, it is indirectly
proportional to the concentration of HbA1c. The specificity of the immunosensor towards detecting
the HbA1c is achieved against different antigen such as HbA0 and HSA as well as against
unmatched detection antibody, anti-biotin antibody. The results demonstrate great specificity and
antifouling behaviour of the developed immunosensor allowing it for further application in whole
human blood.

Electrical insulating paper and press-board have been widely used in transformers for several
years. They are mostly made from softwood pulp. Currently, several tons of paper insulation and
press-board are used in large and medium transformers. With the rapid development of power
industry in the world, the demand for cellulose continues to grow, leading to a bigger challenge
related to the lack of softwood pulp. Moreover, producing paper require vast trees consumption, so
it causes depletion the forest and damaging the environment. Consequently, the search for non-
wood fibers in paper-making industry has been given more attention. Kenaf is one of the non-wood
fiber that can be used for paper production. Kenaf offer many advantages such as to they are
abundant, have short cycles and rapid generation, comparatively low price, and high strength
paper. At present, there is no study conducted to investigate the suitability of Kenaf-paper as
electrical insulating paper. Therefore this project proposes to assess the suitability of Kenaf-paper
as an electrical insulating paper by examining the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of
the Kenaf-paper to confirm whether the value limit is within the required standard. Besides that, a
study will be carried out to investigate the aging performance of Kenaf-paper with insulation oil and
the aging marker of Kenaf-paper. Finally, the electrical performance of Kenaf-paper under uniform
and non-uniform field will be investigated with a different configuration of electrodes. The
introduction of renewable sources such as Kenaf paper insulation in the transformer could help to
reduce the dependency on softwood material and help to utilize the usage of Kenaf. Since electrical

tagging nouns, adjectives, and verbs; whereby these words are then extracted from sentences.
Through online product reviews, consumers share their opinions, criticisms, and satisfactions on the
products they have purchased. However, the abundance of product reviews may be confusing and
time-consuming for prospective customers to analyze before buying a product. The unstructured
format of product reviews requires a sentiment mining approach in analyzing customers’ comments
on specific products and its features. In this research, the researchers explore and analyze the
hybrid role of typed dependency relations (TDR) and part-of-speech (POS) tag in detecting the
relation between features and sentiment words. The researchers have also created a list of
combination rules using TDR and POS tag to serve as a guide in identifying the relation between
features and sentiment words in sentences. Results have shown that the hybrid algorithm could
assist in identifying such relationship and could potentially improve performance.

INVENTION Hydraulic Ram Pump: A Practical Solution For Green Energy
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Hydraulic ram pumps use the hydro power energy in the flowing water such as springs, stream or
river to pump a water. With the continuous flow of water, a ram pump operates continuously on the
principle of water hammering action. No electricity or any power fuel is required to run the pump,
thus environmental friendly and green in nature. In addition, the waste water from the ram pump
can easily be recycle into the river, thus effectively creating zero wastage of water. Hydraulic ram
pump consists of two moving parts, i.e. waste valve and the delivery valve. The unit also consists of
an air chamber and air valve. The operation of ram pump continuously and automatically due to
opening and closing cycles of the waste and deliver valve. The closure of waste valve creates high
pressure rise in the drive pipe. An air chamber is required in the system to transform the high
intermittent pumped flows into a continuous stream of flow. The air valve allow air into the ram
pump to replace the air absorbed by the water due to the high pressure and mixing in the air
chamber. The purpose of this research is to study the potential of hydro ram pump application as
one of the green energy sources. A field and laboratory experimental will be carried out to
investigate the performance of hydro ram pump air chamber using different type of materials and
design towards flow rate of water being delivered. The low cost ram pump will be construct based
on design layout. In addition, the prototype of ram pump will be installed at site and the
performance will be monitor for 6 months. It is expected that at the end of this study, the hydraulic
ram pump can represents a good alternative to conventional pumping devices for green energy
sources with lower financial effort. Additionally, the outcome of this study may contribute to provides
the baseline information about green energy for the welfare of society and that may also help in
future planning for the UPNM green campus.

INVENTION Model Kanak-kanak Fitrah: Inovasi Panduan Kelayakan dan Tanggungjawab Keagamaan Bagi Kanak-kanak Menurut Islam
RESEARCH FIELD Education, Community Development and Social Science
Secara dasarnya, kanak-kanak menurut agama Islam adalah merupakan golongan rentan yang
perlu dipelihara hak mereka tanpa sebarang kompromi. Malangnya, akibat daripada
ketidakfahaman segelintir masyarakat terhadap perkara ini menyebabkan kanak-kanak sering
menjadi mangsa penganiayaan dan dibebani dengan tanggungjawab yang melebihi tahap
kemampuan diri. Maka objektif pengenalan Model Kanak-kanak Fitrah adalah sebagai suatu
inovasi tarbiyyah untuk dijadikan panduan yang tepat dan komprehensif dalam proses memahami
teori tanggungjawab keagamaan mengikut tahap kelayakan bagi diri kanak-kanak bersumberkan
dalil al-Quran dan as-Sunnah. Ia juga bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kepada masyarakat secara
terperinci tentang konsep fitrah menurut Islam yang wujud secara semulajadi pada diri setiap
kanak-kanak. Metodologi pembinaan model adalah melalui pengenalpastian terhadap domain-
domain yang membentuk kerangka asas berdasarkan analisis kepada kandungan dan prinsip
hukum syarak yang dibincangkan secara holistik dalam bab fiqah kanak-kanak. Penghasilan model
ini diyakini mampu memberikan pemahaman yang menyeluruh kepada masyarakat khususnya
golongan ibu bapa dan penjaga supaya sentiasa meletakkan kebajikan diri kanak-kanak sebagai
suatu keutamaan dalam institusi kekeluargaan. Model ini juga amat signifikan untuk digunakan
sebagai rujukan asas kepada pihak berkuasa yang dipertanggungjawabkan secara langsung untuk
menggubal dasar dan melaksanakan undang-undang yang melibatkan hak kanak-kanak tanpa
mengira agama atau etnik di Malaysia.

INVENTION Anti-gout potential of Euphorbia hirta (ara tanah)
RESEARCH FIELD Medical and Healthcare
Gout is a common disease affected by many Malaysian people due to the accumulation of uric acid
in the blood. Nature has blessed Malaysia diverse medicinal plants including Euphorbia hirta (ara
tanah). This plant has been used traditionally to treat gout among Malay people. Therefore, this
study aimed to evaluate the ability of E. hirta as an anti-gout agent using in vitro and in vivo studies.
The xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity in vitro was assayed spectrophotometrically at 295 nm
while the efficacy of this plant was tested using animal model of hyperuricemia for 10 days. Acute
toxicity test also was conducted in vivo for 14 days. For the in vitro study, the results showed that
the water extract of E. hirta aerial part exhibited higher anti-gout potency (66.67% at 100 µg/mL;
IC50 47.68 µg/mL). For the in vivo study, there were no signs of toxicity detected and zero
occurrence of mortality in all rats at dose of 2000 mg kg-1 after 14 days. Moreover, the treatment of
E. hirta extract at 200 mg kg−1 body weight in potassium oxonate‐induced hyperuricemic rats
showed significant (P<0.001) decrease in serum uric acid level by 49.5% as compared to the
hyperuricemic rats on the 10th day. Hence, present findings suggest that the water extract of E.
hirta has a potential as an anti-gout agent which further confirm its traditional uses in the treatment
of gout.

INVENTION Numerical Simulation of Robot Navigation Algorithms using Laplacian Potentials in Static Indoor Environment
RESEARCH FIELD
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
One of the key issue in robot navigation is the ability to move from arbitrary start location to a
specified destination without colliding with any obstacles while traveling. The project attempts to
improve the path planning efficiency of mobile robots by solving the navigation problems iteratively
using harmonic potentials to generate smooth and safe paths. The harmonic function applies the
Laplace’s Equation to control the generation of potential function over the regions found in the
mobile robot’s configuration space. The major advantages of harmonic potentials over other
methods are they offer complete algorithm, which guarantees that the solutions will be found if they
exist, or otherwise the algorithm can detect when there’s no solution. Moreover, the paths can be
found very quickly once the harmonic potentials are obtained. By using harmonic potentials, the
navigation compute the potential values of the environment once based on the goal point only.
Therefore, the robot can start from any free space in the configuration space. Thus, a new algorithm
based on modified accelerated method will be developed to speed up the computation of harmonic
potentials.

INVENTION Water As An Alternative Fuel For The Future
RESEARCH FIELD
Energy and Water Security
The need to find an alternative energy that can be generated, environmentally friendly and sustainable such as hydrogen has become increasingly important in order to overcome the dependence on fossil fuel sources and global climate change problem. Hydrogen is a valuable feedstock for the industry and it may play a big role in the energy supply of the future, as a green, high in energy, non-polluting and efficient energy carrier. This new green technology process involves a cycle of a two-step reactions, which comprises a reduction reaction of the catalyst using few reducing agents such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane gas followed by an oxidation reaction to split the water molecules to produce hydrogen. The process is performed in a packed bed reactor using potential catalysts. The catalysts have been selected by a thermodynamic calculation using Gibbs free energy and the preliminary study showed a few potential metal catalysts can gave up to 50 % of hydrogen production yield. Furthermore, modification of the potential catalyst also successfully increase the hydrogen production performance up to 70 %. In addition, the carbon dioxide that we obtained through this reaction will be captured by suitable CO2 capturer. Thus, effectively preventing any carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere and converted to valuable chemicals. This process promises the green technology which is highly valuable to be developed and commercialized, thereby encourage a collaboration from various agencies such as universities, research institutes and industries.

possibility of using web browser in an attempt to hide one’s activities from conventional digital
forensic tools like EnCase. This application mainly focusses on the implementation of a system
capable of encrypting of browser artefacts using a simplified version symmetric encryption
technique such as AES. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are one of the best-known and most
robust symmetric encryption algorithms. The proposed system makes use of the advantages of
both the methods by presenting a hybrid technique of encoding and encryption, resulting in a much
secure and faster alternative web browser artefacts. Regardless of whether the attacker gets
access to any of the keys, the attacker won’t be in position to unmask the data in an expected
certain amount of time. This system will hopefully contribute to a better web browser over the
existing techniques by doing some minor changes in the implementation framework.

store all registered camp data, PHP language as the main programming language and NetBenas is
used to design the system interface. The Malaysian Army Geographical Information System
(GeoTD) also uses the Web Development system to ensure that all branches of the army camps
can be displayed better.

INVENTION Methylphosphonic Acid (a Main Hydrolysis Product of Nerve Agents) Detection Test Kit
RESEARCH FIELD
National Security
Chemical warfare agents are inexpensive and relatively easy to produce, even by small terrorist groups, to create mass casualties with small quantities which cause a greater threat to national and global security. A particularly hazardous class of chemical warfare agents are the nerve agents. Their rapid and severe effects on human health originate in their ability to block the function of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is vital to the central nervous system. One of the most hazardous nerve agents is VX. It can react with moisture to form main hydrolysis products such methylphosphonic acid (MPA). Conventional techniques used for the detection of MPA are sensitive but time consuming, expensive, and require expertise. Therefore, a simple and rapid quantitative test kit was developed based on colorimetric and image processing techniques to detect MPA.

INVENTION A selective and rapid detection of combat wound infections using graphene based electrochemical sensor
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
War wound infections among military personnel who developed combat related-injuries during and
after war conflict can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-
negative bacteria is frequently associated with combat wound infections. It is difficult to control and
treat these infections due to its remarkable ability to form biofilms that are highly resistant to
multiple antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucially important for early diagnosis of P. aeruginosa in wound
for successful wound management and effective local antibiotic treatment. Current diagnosis of P.
aeruginosa infections are based on the laboratory technique (Isolate-microbial culture and
Molecular biology technique) that are not suitable for on-site detection in military environment.
Among of the toxin molecules produced by P. aeruginosa, only pyocyanin is unique in this species
and exhibits the redox active properties that it is only can be measured electrochemically. This give
us an idea to develop a low-cost, rapid and alternative detection based on the redox current of
pyocyanin as a biomarker of P. aeruginosa using screen-printed electrode via electrochemical
technique. To enhance an electrochemical signal of pyocyanin, we successfully modified screen-
printed electrode surface with graphene nanocomposites before being used. Results demonstrated
that our graphene electrochemical sensor was able to discriminate the redox current signal with and
without the presence of pyocyanin in samples. Under optimal condition, the developed
electrochemical pyocyanin sensor exhibited a good linear range for the determination of pyocyanin
at a clinically relevant concentration range of 1-100 µM. By measuring of pyocyanin level, this
graphene electrochemical sensor offers a significant advantage such as can eliminates sample
preparation, low volume sample requirement and allow fast identification of p. aeruginosa in real
samples which take less than a 5 min to complete. This electrochemical detection gives us an
important output to design a portable sensor or smart bandage incorporated with electrochemical
sensing to monitor the wound for future military personnel application.

INVENTION Knowledge, Attitude and Acceptance of Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination among Pre-clinical Medical Students in Malaysia Military University
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections. Cervical cancer is the third most common malignancy among the women worldwide. The primary tool for prevention of cervical cancer is through the HPV vaccination. Pre-clinical year medical students must have background knowledge about HPV vaccination as they become healthcare providers, who will play an important role in influencing patients’ decision to receive. If the knowledge on the HPV is still low, which will result in poor attitude towards its prevention. This study was aimed to determine the knowledge of HPV vaccine and cervical cancer as well as the acceptance of HPV vaccination among pre-clinical year medical students. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 83 pre-clinical year medical students in National Defence University of Malaysia(NDUM). A set of self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the respondents to gather the data. Most of the respondents were not aware the indication of HPV vaccination (46.3%). However, 64.6 % of pre-clinical year students perceived that HPV vaccine can protect against the cervical cancer and it is important as Hepatitis B or Haemophilus influenzae vaccine in Malaysia (54.9%) although 47.6% of them disagreed that HPV vaccination will diminish the need for annual Papanicolaou (Pap) smear testing. Being a pre-clinical year student does not warrant good knowledge and prevention of HPV infection. There is a need to obtain more information about HPV vaccination effects on cervical cancer in their medical school teaching and from the social media.

INVENTION Level of Disaster Readiness
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Level of Readiness is referring to the state of being prepared in doing something and also the
willingness to do something. Flooding has become a common occurrence which is the Northeast
monsoon season brings floods to many parts of peninsular Malaysia states especially in East Coast
regions. The frequency of flood disasters has been increasing over the years, resulting in loss of
life, damage to property and destruction of the environment. At the same time, military intervention
in disaster management are not a new phenomenon as flood disasters 2014 in East Coast of
Peninsular Malaysia as the army have conducted evacuations, established emergency shelters,
operationalized evacuation centers and provide relief assistance to affected families. Disaster refers
to a serious disruption of the functioning of a society and community which involving the widespread
of material, human, environmental and economic losses (United Nations International Strategy for
Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), 2009). In recent years, Malaysia was vulnerable to various natural
hazards including large floods, tsunami, cyclonic storms and landslides that emerged from
climatological changes (Shaluf et al, 2003). Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop an
instrument for measuring military readiness for disaster management. This study used descriptive
research design and method which questionnaire distributed with some respondents from the
Malaysian Armed Forces infantry personnel who are involved in disaster readiness. Out of a total of
2300 questionnaires distributed, about 1764 (76.6 percent) usable and valid questionnaires were

The role of militaries and civil agencies play an importance role in disaster response and recovery. These include an increase in the scale and incidence of natural disasters, a concurrent trend towards militarization of humanitarian response in conflict situations and increased interest in disaster response on the part of militaries. Hence, the Malaysian Armed Forces and civil agencies and a selected community play an effective role to ensure the effectiveness of managing the disaster response in that area. This study used descriptive research design and method which questionnaire distributed with some respondents from the Malaysian Armed Forces infantry personnel and selected Community who are involved in disaster response and recovery. For the purpose of this research, quantitative research method is applied where quantitative method is use for questionnaires with officers and other ranks. A total of five focus groups discussions and 36 interviews were conducted covering all regions in Malaysia. The second stage of data collection uses questionnaire survey. Out of a total of 2300 questionnaires distributed, about 1764 (76.6 percent) usable and valid questionnaires were received. Qualitative data received were analysed descriptively for themes and categories. Quantitative data were analysed using bivariate and multivariate analysis on SPSS software Version 3.0 and Smart PLS 3.0 to get the information about Leadership, CIMIC & Ethics during Disaster Response in a selected community. The Malaysian Armed Forces must ensure that the level of civil military coordination, civil military cooperation and civil military activities of the personnel both good and high. This is because, civil military coordination greatly affects the current disaster response and recovery of the personnel at the infantry unit. In addition, high civil military coordination also can be prepared in disaster management. However, there are also of problems when the relationship between military and civilian having dissent then is led to a relation between the civil and military during the disaster response and recovery will cause an impaired. It is important to the both civil and military have a good and healthy relationship to plays an important role in managing the disaster.

INVENTION The Response of Ion Selective Electrode Based on Aryl Methyl Carbonylamino Thiazole Derivatives as Ionophore
RESEARCH FIELD
Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure
Thiazole derivatives have been known to form a very stable complexes with metal ions. The properties of thiazole derivatives have made these compounds become a suitable ionophore which is a sensing material of Ion Selective Electrode (ISE). Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) based on ionophore is a liquid membrane sensor that having an attachable membrane on the bottom part of an electrode. This electrode is made up of four parts; body, silver electrode, internal filling solution and membrane. The membrane is consisting of four components, ionophore, polymeric membrane, ionic additive and plasticizer. This experiment is conducted to study the potential of aryl methyl carbonylamino thiazole derivatives as ionophore and its response in electrochemical set up. The response of ion selective electrode is depending on the compatibility of plasticizer and ionophore, and the composition of an ion selective membrane. The experiment conducted used the same plasticizer which is benzyl acetate (BA), and the same ratio of the component; 5.0:30.0:2.0:63.0 (Th:PVC:NaTPB:BA) by weight percentage; where Th is thiazole derivatives, PVC is polyvinyl chloride, NaTPB is sodium tetraphenylborate and BA is benzyl acetate. These components are acting as ionophore, polymeric matrix, ionic additive and plasticizer respectively. The Nernstian response for Cd2+ that obtained the best response with 26.96 mV/decade is when thiazole derivative of 2-chloroaniline is used as ionophore. The linear working range for this response is 1.0×10^-6 to 1.0×10^-3.

INVENTION Local Bacterial Isolates for Chemical War Agent-Degrading Enzyme Production
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Organophosphate poisoning is a serious cause for concern, especially when organophoshate-based chemical nerve agents such as VX, Sarin and Tabun are used as chemical war agents or in terrorist attacks. Even though the production and use of nerve agents are banned worldwide, their uses as chemical weapons are still frequently reported. Since these chemicals are very toxic but relatively easy to acquire, the availability of a compound that can neutralize and/or degrade them is essential for the contamination management. In line with this issue, a research to identify local bacterial isolates that are capable of producing an organophosphate-degrading enzyme known as phosphotriesterase (PTE) to be used in pre and post nerve agent exposure treatments is carried out. Soil samples from several types (palm, rice and rubber) of plantations were collected and screened for degradation of an organophosphate (Malathion) and 9 different species of bacteria that are capable of hydrolyzing organophosphate compounds to harmless substances were isolated. These bacteria will be then further characterized to explore the possibility to mass produce the PTE enzyme and use it as an active ingredient for pre and post treatments of nerve agent exposure incidents.

INVENTION Opinion Mining Technique for Student Feedback Analysis Using Lexicon Based Approach
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Opinion mining is an interesting research area as it represents an individual’s ideas, belief, assessment, and evaluation of his/her surroundings, which can be used as guidance by other individuals, or by organisations and communities during their decision-making processes. This study explores opinion mining technique to determine the polarity of a student’s feedback as it has substantial significance for measuring the quality of lecturers’ teaching skills. Due to differing opinions being expressed in unstructured texts, it is impossible to manually summarise these information. Most online lecturer teaching assessment systems are focused on the quantitative part of the questionnaire since it is easy to analyse. On the contrary, the qualitative part, which requires students’ textual feedbacks, is often omitted and neglected, and the level of opinion results are excluded. To address this problem, a system that could automatically analyse students’ textual feedbacks was developed. This system applies an opinion mining technique to reveal the teaching assessment results, which are underpinned by sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis is a common textual data quantification method that can analyse the sentiment tendency of a student’s textual feedback. A database of English sentiment words, known as the Vader Lexicon, was utilised as a lexical source to determine the polarity of words. By analysing the sentiment words, which included intensifier words extracted from students’ textual feedbacks, the system was able to determine the opinion results of the lecturer teaching assessment by describing the level of positive, negative, or neutral opinions. This system was also able to present the opinion results in an improved form of graphical user interface. Ultimately, this newly developed system will provide useful information to educational organisations for improving lecturers’ teaching skills and course materials as well.

Militaries worldwide foresee the military force as coercive arms to be the eventual measure of power because military capabilities enable countries to act against internal and external threats. Malaysia’s military forces including other security agencies lack a model of framework and an assessment instrument as a means of combat readiness to measure individual and collective team preparedness before deploying for any operations including international peacekeeping operations and human disaster relief operations within the country. The current combat preparedness of security agencies is in piece meal assessment working is silos which often create discrepancies and compatibility issues especially when they are required to work in cohesiveness during a combat operation for both local and international duties. A systematic approach of assessment for all security forces must be developed to address such issues and challenges especially when required to as very often they are required to join forces in working together in concert with other forces for operations. Using a mixed-method approach the research will investigate the factors on the current assessment of combat readiness for most security forces prior for combat duties and eventually proposing a systematic model and framework assessment for combat readiness which can be used by all security forces in Malaysia especially when working together in combined and joint operations. The aim of this research is to address the current gap of assessment in security forces and propose a systematic model and developing an assessment instrument to determine the combat readiness for all security forces in Malaysia namely Malaysian Army, Royal Malaysian Air Force, Royal Malaysian Navy, Royal Malaysian Police, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and other relevant security forces in Malaysia to work in cohesion and provide some distinctive operations procedures as an agency or in teams working together in any operations both local and international duties.

The army camouflage face paint that is currently used by Malaysian military personnel contains ingredients that might be harmful to them. Commonly used chemicals like propylene glycol and mineral oil are side products from petroleum refining process thus may contain harmful impurities while paraben as preservative interrupts hormones in the body's cells. In the proposed product, food grade chemicals and vegetable fats are used. The ingredients for this camouflage face paint are vegetable oils, beeswax, plant-based glycerin, shea butter and , and food dyes. In addition to retaining moisture content in the skin, beeswax helps to preserve wax structure and acts a natural antibacterial agent. Since the food colorings used are edible, it is expected the products will not be toxic to the skin. Preliminary characterizations indicate that these vegetable oil based color waxes have similar properties compared to that of the commercialized product which is currently used by the army.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the aging asset management in the organization that owns the aging asset. Specifically, it aimed at investing the strategies to prolong the asset life cycle which improved the asset performance and opportunities for cost savings. The motivation for conducting this study was driven by the inadequate findings in the literature concerning asset management related to aging asset. Due to this insufficiency, a new research stream was proposed to address the gap by investigating the strategies that may better explain aging asset management. Accordingly, this study explored different theories such as the Product Life Cycle Theory, the Life Cycle Costing Theory, the Renewal Theory, the Replacement Theory and the Integrated Logistics Support Approach to identify the components in developing a new framework for aging asset management. This study engaged a multiple-case studies approach. 29 research participants were interviewed , and related documents were selected for primary data collection. Data from the interview and the related documents were analysed by using the content analysis technique before it was cross -analysed to determine the pattern. Then the findings were discussed and theoretically validated to produce a conceptual framework. The conceptual framework was validated through a Subject Matter Expert focus group to produce the final framework. The results revealed that by implementing life extension, obsolescence management and refit in managing aging asset, the organization improved the aging asset performance and had the opportunities for costsavings . This study also found that the current asset management framework was not applicable in aging asset management. Therefore, this study offers a new aging asset management framework and activities model in every stage of asset life. Finally, contibutions to the literature, the industry and the Government policy, and recommendations for future research were discussed.

INVENTION Bulk Meter Servicing (BMS) Program for Cleaner Drinking Water Supply and Better Solid Waste Management in Selangor
RESEARCH FIELD
Energy and Water Security
Pipeline is the most efficient way of water distribution for public purpose. Demand for water is inclined due to modernization and industrialization in Selangor. Thus, increase demand of more water meter supplies in this state. Corrosion can occur and corroded metals may be transported over a long distances in the underground steel pipelines. This could be even worse if salt water and sulphur are present. Therefore, potable water quality is affected and unsafe for public consumption. In fact, potable water meters tend to deteriorate with age, and as the results, meter would read the water consumption inaccurately. Inaccurate readings is not allowable since it causes loses in terms of income to water concessionaires. This will affects information about water usage which impacts system audits and leak detection efforts. In this case, water meters which are used to read and measure water consumption would be treated as waste because they are no longer accurate. In this study, 200 units of water meters are selected to undergo site inspection and site servicing for the BMS program. The performances of water meters are compared based on two categories; i) data collected from secondary resources of meter sent to meter store for disposal and ii) data collected after the implementation of BMS activities. For category (i) analysis is mainly based on the trending of quantity of water meters sent to the meter stores whereas category (ii) rely on consumption differences, billing amounts and water quality for 3 months of operations. The SWOT analysis is also conducted to ensure the BMS program can be recommended for future benefits in order to reduce the massive number of old water meters as solid wastes. The BMS program is highly potential to improve solid waste management, reduce risk of human health problems and economically cost saving.

Many wounds are unresponsive to current available treatment techniques and therefore there is an immense need to explore suitable materials including biomaterials, which could be consider as the crucial factor to accelerate the healing cascade. In this study, we fabricated polyhydroxyalkanoate based antibacterial mats via electrospun technique. One-pot green synthesized graphene decorated silver nanoparticles (GAg) were incorporated into the fibres of poly-3 hydroxybutarate-co-12 mol% hydroxyhexanoate (P3HB-co-12mol% HHx), a co-polymer of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) family which is highly biocompatible, biodegradable and flexible in nature. The synthesised PHA/GAg biomaterial has characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), elemental mapping, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In-vitro antibacterial analysis were performed to investigate the efficacy of PHA/GAg against gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) strain 12600 ATCC and gram negative Escherichia coli (E.coli) strain 8739 ATCC. The results indicated that the PHA/GAg demonstrated significant reduction of S.aureus and E.coli as compared to bare PHA or PHA-rGO in 2 hours of time. The p value (p< 0.05) was obtained by using 2 sample t-test distribution.

INVENTION Polymer Based Nanoparticles Modified Electrode as Chemiresistive Aptasensor for Application in Detection of Selective Chemical Nerve Gas Agent
RESEARCH FIELD Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) known as one of significant threats towards human bodies and being marked as a weapon with mass destruction. CWAs can be divided into two main groups such as G-series and V-series. Sarin gas is in G-series group along with tabun, soman and cyclosarin. G-series group is commonly come in hazardous vapour and enable to dissipate rapidly in wider area while mainly attack the inhalation part of body. Due to this effect, a sensor with an ability to quickly detect, monitor and identify gas is in urge of need. Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) is a simulant of sarin used due to its much lower toxicity while having almost similar chemical structure. Previous research has been reported that polypyrrole material has high sensitivity towards gases of volatile organic compound and easily to prepare. To increase the selectivity of the sensor, we proposed to use an aptamer as a DMMP molecular capture. Polypyrrole nanoparticles was mixed with iron oxyhydroxide and being drop-cast on the interdigitated electrode to avoid contact resistance between the particles and electrode surface. Aptamer was added on top of these materials as a capture to the DMMP molecules. The polypyrrole, iron oxyhydroxide, aptamer and electrode were the main elements in the fabrication of this chemiresistor aptasensor. The data and results obtained from previous work reported have proven that sensor with the presence of these elements able to detect the occurrence of DMMP accurately.

RESEARCH FIELD National Security
Konflik yang berlaku di sempadan Syria-Turki sehingga kini masih berterusan dan secara jelas ianya mengancam keselamatan nasional serta antarabangsa.Walaupun kedua-dua buah negara pernah menjadi sekutu rapat tetapi isu-isu seperti kewujudan pemberontak Syria, jumlah pelarian yang terlalu ramai di Turki, kewujudan pemberontak Kurdish yang menentang Turki di Syria dan penularan militant DAESH memburukkan lagi hubungan dua hala negara tersebut. Penglibatan kuasa besar iaitu Amerika Syarikat dan Rusia yang bertindak sebagai proxi tidak membantu menyelesaikan masalah ini secara keseluruhan. Militan DAESH yang berpengkalan di Syria merupakan ancaman global yang wujud sehingga kini. Ancaman DAESH di sempadan Syria-Turki merupakan contoh betapa pentingnya menjaga sempadan negara dari penularan ideologi dan kebangkitan kumpulan ini. Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa sempadan negara merupakan antara tunggak kedaulatan serta keamanan dalam sesebuah negara. Sebelum ini tidak ada kajian yang menyeluruh yang dilakukan berkenaan persempadanan negara terutama isu militant DAESH di Utara Semenanjung Malaysia. Oleh itu, kajian ini bermula atas inisiatif dari penyelidik Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia untuk memahami kegiatan-kegiatan yang berlaku di sempadan Utara Semenanjung Malaysia terutama DAESH yang mula menular dalam kalangan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM). Justeru itu, fokus kajian adalah kepada anggota Rejimen Sempadan (RS) yang melibatkan Markas Briged ke-30 Infantri (MK 30 Bgd) Kangar, Perlis; Kem Batu 11 (1 RS) Tanah Merah, Kelantan; Batalion Ke 2 Rejimen Sempadan (2 RS) Jeli, Kelantan; Kem Pengkalan Hulu (3 RS) Perak; Kem Grik (4 RS) Perak dan Kem Bukit Kayu Hitam (5 RS) Kedah.

INVENTION Palm oil emulsion formulation as a base for a chemical warfare agent reactive skin decontamination lotion
RESEARCH FIELD
National Security
Organophosphorus compounds (OPs), which are very toxic and widely used as insecticides and occasionally exploited as chemical warfare agents, become a major threat for both civilians and military. Since the compounds penetrate human skin effectively, the body surface decontamination is vital to prevent victims poisoning. One of the treatments proposed for after dermal exposure is to use a reactive skin decontamination lotion. However, currently accessibility of this product for Malaysian defence and security agencies is limited due to its costs and availability as the lotion is an imported product. As a part of our attempt to produce our own, we have successfully prepared and characterized a palm oil emulsion that can be further developed into a reactive skin decontamination lotion using locally available chemicals. The characterizations indicate that the emulsion is stable and not contaminated by fungi, and maintains its pH and emulsion structure homogeneity, during the six month-storage observation. In addition to incorporating OP chelating and degradation agents to develop a skin reactive decontamination lotion, the possibility of exploiting the emulsion as cosmetic products will be also carried out.

INVENTION Circular Plasma Reflector Antenna (CPRA)
RESEARCH FIELD
The 4th state of matter with complex permittivity that can be exploited to offer advantages in communication system is known as plasma. Its negative permittivity has been studied in many research papers and it was proven to have similar characteristics as metal material in terms of electrical conductivity. While keeping permeability in the positive region, plasma will respond to electromagnetic waves in the similar manner as metal. Therefore, this project aimed to use plasma as an alternative to metal in the construction of reconfigurable antennas. The first part of this project is dedicated to characterizing a plasma model based on the commercially available plasma source. The second part presents the realization of plasma reflector antennas. A unique plasma reflector antenna has been simulated, fabricated and measured at 2.4 GHz and this antenna is named as circular plasma reflector antenna (CPRA). The CRA that has been introduced in this project is a novel design since it integrates compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) on a single ground plane. The CPRA offers more than one beam shape which are electrically switchable from one shape to another and this beam switching can be used for 360-degree scanning purposes with small HPBW as small as 27 degree. The CPRA was simulated, fabricated and finally its performances were validated throughout a series of agile measurements. The measured reflected radiation patterns are in good agreements with the simulation ones. The measured gains of CPRA is 4 dB higher than the gain of classical monopole antenna with an identical size of finite ground plane.

Schools, educational institution and household could be determined for humanities society affairs. In this study, poverty for low or middle income and expenditure behavior in Malaysia has become an area of public concern and the elimination of poverty has being a national goal. Hence, a substantial amount of useful data exists, there is a lack of research which analyzes the income and expenditure behavior among B-40 Malaysian, and how that pattern can give effect on food security consumption. In developing countries like Malaysia, poses a threat to food security. With growing population growth, demand for food is expected to increase by 70 to 100% by 2050. Consequently, food security needs to be given more serious attention as it is an important element in Malaysia's economic growth while meeting the basic needs of millions especially those with the B-40 income group. It seeks to provide estimates of the differences in the reaction of expenditures on five budget categories as well as differences in the reaction of expenditure on these categories to changes in income for B-40 households of differing characteristics. Household characteristics are a major factor in determining the way and behavior of household consumption. It’s because, households are different according to size; age; race, education, and job status of the head of household; and other features. In general, it is hoped that households with different characteristics will have different features of use. Although there are many empirical studies that have been made regarding the pattern of household consumption, there have been no attempts to study the effects of household characteristics, on food, clothing, household size and impact on the food security for a long-term effect in big data overview.

INVENTION Automated human age at death estimation system from long bones histology
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Determination of human age after death from their bone cells is an important and frequent
requirement in current forensic sciences and in developing demographic profiles. Over the past two
decades, many areas in biological sciences have turned from traditional manual data collection to
digitally automated data collection. This has been brought about by the introduction of faster
computers and inexpensive digitizing equipment. One area of biological science that has not
benefited from digital automation is that of micro bone structure analysis. Micro bone structure
analysis can be used to determine the age of humans at death from a mid-shaft slice of femur, tibia
or fibula bones, obtained from autopsy material.
The aim of this study is to facilitate forensic experts in crime scene investigation and disaster victim
identification by developing a system that can estimate human age at death automatically and can
store the information in digital database which can be used for further research.
Even though histological methods of age estimation has been proven beneficial over morphological
DEFENCE, SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY EXHIBITION 2019 61
methods, yet manual observation of bone microstructures is a time consuming process and can
lead to increase the observer error. These limitation could be reduced by automating the process of
observation and computation with the help of digital equipment and computer algorithms. This study
is dedicated to investigate the characteristics of human long bone microstructures with increasing
age in Malaysian population, addressing the complication of Malaysian histological age at death
estimation method and rectifying those complications by developing automatic histological age
estimation system for Malaysian population.
Unlike traditional manual methods, automated system has been developed, that can automatically
find the relation of bone microstructures with increasing age, generate age regression equation that
can be updated with inclusion of new samples and automatically estimate human age at death from
bone microstructures of Malaysian population. The system has the capability to store the
information of bone histological and morphological parameters in digital database for further
analysis. The automatic system has been tested to estimate human age after death from
morphological parameters (cortical thickness, medullar cavity) and histological parameters
(Haversian canal parameters). The system successfully generated age regression equation and

INVENTION Shoulder Air Bag
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Shoulder Air Bag (SAB) is a patient positioning device invented with a purpose for elevating patient’s shoulder from operation table and thus providing neck extension. It is indicated to position a patient during tonsillectomy, thyroidectomy and maxillofacial related procedures. It comprises an irrigation fluid bag with one inlet and outlet, characterised by the inlet that is connected to a hand-held pump to inflate the bag with air for adjusting the positioning of a patient who lies on the bag. The inlet is connected to the hand-held pump with an elongated flexible tube, where the elongated flexible tube has two ends and a hollow extending between the two ends. Before surgery, flattened irrigation bag will be placed onto operation table and cover with underpad; a patients moves onto operation table and the bag will be adjusted under the patient’s shoulder. After induction of anaesthesia, irrigation fluid bag will be inflated with hand-held pump, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to close. The pressure of the irrigation fluid bag will be monitored every thirty minutes. After surgery, the irrigation fluid bag will be deflated by turning the adjusting screw anticlockwise and the patient’s body weight will flatten the irrigation fluid bag. SAB improves patient safety as the patients will be positioned before induction of anaesthesia. This prevents excessive movement that may lead to dislodgement of endotracheal tube, which is patient’s only source of oxygen from anaesthesia machine. As the patient still awake during positioning, only one operating room personnel is required to position a patient and this will save time. In addition, irrigation fluid bag is cost-effective and its flexibility does not create pressure points which impede blood circulation that may damage body parts. SAB provides a cheaper, adjustable, easy to use alternative which simplifies patient positioning procedures and improves patient safety.

INVENTION Knowledge Web Portal for Military Tacit Knowledge
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
There are variety of knowledge management system (KMS) have been developed for organizations to provide access to data and knowledge across the enterprise. Nevertheless, very limited KMS focus on military personnel in collecting their valuable knowledge for conducting military operations. Currently, there is no formal method in collecting this valuable knowledge from military personnel which they gathered through experience and training skills. Therefore, this study proposes a KMS that is capable of sharing, capturing and storing military tacit knowledge gained through lessons learnt experiences and training skills among officer cadets at UPNM. This KMS is designed to assist the officer cadets in collecting the military tacit knowledge through a number of sources such as chatting, discussion and online forums. Later, this tacit knowledge will be applied as a dataset for further text analysis.

INVENTION Application of Novel Cellulose-Kevlar Nanocomposite for Military Helmet and Plate of Armour Vest
RESEARCH FIELD Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure
Cellulose Micro Nano Fibre (CMNF) was successfully extracted from various plants (banana pseudo stem, pineaple leaf, Resak, Merbau wastes and rice straw using acid and alkaline treatments. Peaks of functional group analysis is in the range of 1310-1320cm-1 which indicate the presence of cellulose I. The percentage of CMNF crystallinity was in the range of 70%-80% and the crystallite size of CMNF particles ranges between 5-10 nm. The best processing method for mixing the CMNF in epoxy resin is prepared by hand lay-up method to produce CMNF – Kevlar composites. The highest CMNF/epoxy/Kevlar composites mechanical strength achieved is 591.24 MPa which is three times stronger than that of Kevlar-29, (181.19 MPa). Nanoindentation test shows that reduce modulus (Er) and hardness of CMNF nanocomposite increases 28.25% and 0.6% respectively compared to those of neat epoxy. Degassing agent content and sonication period are found to be the most significant factors that affect the fracture toughness of CMNF/epoxy composites. The optimum fracture toughness is achieved when the degassing agent content, stirring period and sonication period are at 1.34 wt. %, 5 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. Preparation of a prototype of armour plates and military helmets used only 19 layers (commercially 28 layers) of CMNF/epoxy/Kevlar composites are used to prepare a prototype of military helmet. The ballistic impact test shows that the plate of armour vest produced withstands 9 mm ammunition impact at the velocity range of 320 m/s to 440 m/s and the military helmet prototype at the velocity range of 330 m/s to 360 m/s. CMNF/epoxy plate at the centre of the composite requires twice energy to break and has higher impact resistant compared to those of the other positions. The inclusion of CMNF in the epoxy enhances the impact resistance by double & rigidity of the composite.

Damaged wires and refrigerant leakage are most common causes of fire breakouts in dilapidated buildings or old malls. Preventive inspection for early detection of these faults is usually neglected as it requires highly trained specialists to conduct the inspection and incurs high cost. In this project, we proposed a real-time mobile safety inspection system. This system consists of an artificial intelligent (AI) unit which integrates multiple sensors to detect any typical gases and also damaged wirings. Our system is able to access to the platform at where the electrical wires are installed by transforming its shape to be able to sneak around and adapt at the congested and limited space. The system consists two main parts. The main body consists of batteries, motherboard, motors, wheels and etc. An expandable tube with installation of mini camera and sensors at the tip of the tube, is connected to the main body. The tube is elongated with the air supply to enable sensors to reach the certain areas which are not reachable by the whole robot. Our system is intelligent with capability to sense hazard based on the situation given based on previous data recorded in the memory. Once nascent situation is detected, the system will send a warning signal to the operators. In order for the operators to have the first hand information of the search area, a video camera can be installed.

INVENTION Synthesis of Antidotes Conjugation of Oximes for Chemical Warfare Agents
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Organophosphate compounds (OPs) are widely used as pesticides, softening agents, lubricant additives and therapeutic agents. Some OPs are declared as nerve agents such as sarin, soman, tabun, cyclosarin, O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothionate (VX) and Russian VX. The history of these compounds began before World War II in Germany. OPs compounds act by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is fundamental for the control of nervouse impulses transmission. As the result of AChE inhibition, the over accumulation of acetylcholine (ACh) at cholinergic receptor sites produces continuous stimulation of cholinergic nerves throughout the central and pheripheral nervous system which causes several cholinergic crises, seizures, respiratory arrest and fatal. It is well known that oximes are effective for the reactivation of OPs-inhibited AChE. 2-pyridinealdoxime (2-PAM) is one of the most favored reactivators of inhibited AChE. However, AChE activity in the central nervous system (CNS) was not significant. 2-PAM cannot penetrate into the CNS because the blood brain barrier (BBB). The BBB only allows free diffusion of small lipophilic and uncharged molecules. It was reported that, the BBB penetration of 2-PAM was approximately only 10%. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to develop a new reactivator that can easily penetrate the BBB. Novel conjugation of glucose-oximes is a great approach to increase the BBB penetration. This is because, the presence of the sugar moiety would be recognised by the facilitative glucose transporter in BBB. Thus, higher reactivation potency of inhibited AChE could be achieved. The conjugate of glucose and 2-PAM will be characterized and identified by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis. The relatively high reactivation activities will be examined by in vitro and in vivo study using rat. The limit of detection, quantification range and linearity of the calibration curve of the 2-PAM reactivator will also be determined. This glucose-oxime conjugate holds great promise for the medical treatment of OPs poisoning in CNS.

Miniature power generation that used a miniature liquid fuel combustor required confine combustion inside the combustor chamber. Higher heat loss, weak fuel vaporization rate and low mixing residence time becoming problems to confined the flame. Thus a new method is used to overcome the issue by using novel reverse vortex trapped combustor. It consists of two parts, top part consists of the double chamber (inner tube and outer tube) and at the bottom, a vortex-trapped chamber is attached to anchor the flame. A combustor was operated using n-heptane liquid fuel at fuel flow rate of 1.0 ml/min to 2.5 ml/min and air flow rate of 7.0 l/min to 20.0 l/min. Results showed a confined combustion was obtained inside the combustor chamber at fuel lean regime. Combustion confinement was demonstrated through enhancement of fuel vaporization rate, increase in mixing residence time and mixing rate. This is attributed to flow and heat recirculation.

INVENTION BEASMART: Smart Library System using Beacon Technology
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
Library is one of the important place in any educational institution. Normally in a library, books are organized in shelves based on the categorization and classification of subjects. However, there is a lot of movement of these books in and out of the library’s shelves. Therefore, there is possibility that these books become misplaced. When such misplacement of books occurs, it becomes challenging for both librarians and users to search books. Although the OPAC or an online library management system provides book-racks and access numbers, it is always difficult to find the rack, especially in huge libraries. This scenario can become worse if the books are misplaced. This research aims to provide a working prototype that integrate an IOT technology to the traditional library system to provide IOT based Smart Library System with capabilities to issue, return and even track book-racks using a smart phone. BEASMART is a smart range detector and is equipped with user-friendly mobile application and integrated Beacon technology or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors to navigate the library users to the desired book’s location by using a smart phone application. Therefore, the book can be found via smart phones. With the full integration of IOT into the library management system makes both the library users and staff’ s task easy , smart, convenient and practical.

INVENTION Palm Olein Liquid Soap for CWA Decontamination (POLS-DECON)
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Decontamination is an important stage in a management of chemical warfare agent (CWA) incidents to avoid any further contamination. The common process of the decontamination is typically to use a soap solution to remove the chemicals from the contaminated surfaces. However, the decontamination using this solution may not be effective means as the chemicals may be still active, therefore the waste solution is dangerous to be discarded. Hence, the aims of this project are to synthesize and characterise a palm oil-based liquid soap that can be used as a base for synthesizing an effective CWA decontamination soap. The soaps were synthesised by treating the oil sample with a saponification agent and characterized by studying its physicochemical properties such as pH value, foam stability, viscosity, moisture content and cleaning effectiveness. The best formulation of the POLS-DECON requires, in addition to palm oil as a major component, a small amount of coconut oil. The characterization showed that it has comparable properties to those of the commercial liquid soaps and is suitable to be used as a base soap for adding active ingredients that can deactivate and degrade the CWAs into nontoxic compounds.

When these toxic compounds are released into the environment, in addition to inhaling process, they can enter our body through skin penetration. Since organophosphate poisonings are very harmful and can be associated with health risks which can worsen to cause loss of life, immediate and effective decontamination is crucial. Decontamination of organophosphates using ordinary soap solutions may remove away and dilute the chemicals but does not capable to neutralize and destroy them. For preliminary stage, this project aimed to synthesized and characterized solid soaps from palm olein and virgin coconut oil. The best formulation of soap produced will be further modified to incorporate active ingredients that capable to capture and degrade the nerve agents extracted from contaminated surfaces so that the washing liquid wastes are safe to be discharged into the environment.

INVENTION Recognising Student’s Attention Level Using Brain-Computer Interfaces
RESEARCH FIELD
Education, Community Development and Social Science
During the learning process in classes and lectures, the ability of students to concentrate on the learning material greatly influences their learning efficacy. However, it proves to be difficult to obtain the attentiveness of the students by just their physical expressions. With the development of brain computer interfaces, the student’s attention level can be captured. Therefore, by analysing the student’s attention levels, the lecturers are able to modify their teaching style and remind the students to remain focus. This is to ensure that the students are able to learn attentively. This project recognises the student’s attention level by analysing the brainwave signals from the EEG sensor. This is done by using a brainwave controlled robot as an attention level indicator by using forward-chaining algorithm. Forward-chaining algorithm will analyze the alpha and beta brainwave signals and translate the waves pattern into commands. The robot can moves forward and backward depending on the levels of the attention. This project can be applied in various applications such as sport, health, education and military. In health, it can help patients to move their wheelchair by using brainwave signals. In sports, it can improve an athlete’s peak performance to perform at their best. Meanwhile, in military, it can improve cognitive abilities of a soldier. While in education, students can maximise their learning potentials and improve attention in class.

INVENTION Blaststop
RESEARCH FIELD
Frontier, Defence Technology and Defence Infrastructure
Steel beams and columns usually incorporate protective systems, such as fire protection. Some of these protective systems, e.g. intumescent coating, do not have any energy absorption ability; therefore, the effects of blast are directly and completely imposed on the steel structure. However, some systems, such as fire protection systems in which boards are used and there is some space between the fire protection and the steel structure, the protective system may have some energy absorption capacity to reduce the effects of blast on the steel structure. In the market, there are many types of gypsum boards available. The strongest available gypsum boards are impact resistant gypsum boards. From the blast test, the impact rated board have small energy absorption capacity. The improved boards, Blaststop board, has been tested and can withstand a blast over-pressure from 400g of Amulex at distance 500 mm without any surface deterioration.

INVENTION Harvesting Ocean Energy in Sabah Remote Islands using Floating Wave Energy Converter
RESEARCH FIELD
Energy and Water Security
Sabah is known worldwide for its beautiful islands that attract tourist all year round. At the same time, it is also frequently being targeted by kidnapping pirates who made a living out of the ransoms paid. One of the ways to protect the islands is by locating military and police personals on every islands to patrol and guard the islands from the attack of the pirates. However, some islands are very remote and only depend on diesel generators which provide them with a limited hours of electricity supply based on the diesel ration received on a regular basis. Due to the limited electricity supply, the personnel on the islands are not able to live comfortably on the during their assignments. The ocean surrounding them is actually a huge storage of energy in the form of ocean waves. The energy from the waves is present during day and night and all year round, but remains unutilised. Hence, this project investigates a device called Floating Wave Energy Converter (WEC) to harvest energy from the waves and converts into electricity to be used by the personnel on the islands. This is a new form of clean and renewable energy replacing the energy generated from the diesel generators.

Pollution by dyes effluent is becoming increasingly alarming with the increasing use of a wide variety of dyes by the textile and the dyestuff industries. Textile dyes are recalcitrant molecules and may contain a high level of chemicals, BOD, COD, pH and colour which poses a major threat to aquatic environments, killing or adversely affecting fish and other aquatic organisms. In the current scenario, microbial treatment offers an indispensable, eco-friendly and cost-effective solution towards restoring dye polluted ecosystems and could help to reduce the enormous water consumption compared to physicochemical methods. Therefore, the aims of this study are to scrutinize the utilization of renewable substrate by new isolated for biosurfactant production to decolorize textile dyes. In this study, 5 bacteria (KH1, KH2, KH4, KH5 and KH7) successfully isolated from textile effluent were cultivated in molasses to produce biosurfactant. Emulsification index (E24), hemolytic activity and oil displacement technique were used as a preliminary screening for potential biosurfactant bacteria. The determination of microbial phytotoxicity will also be conducted. The best result was obtained with potential isolates grown in mineral medium
supplemented with 7.0 % w/v molasses for 72 h at 40 ℃ 130 rpm. Emulsification index (E24), haemolytic activity and oil displacement technique revealed that KH1 had the highest E24 of 67%, diameter greater than 1 cm and 25 mm respectively. The performance of decolorization achieved 100% of efficiency using KH1 as dye degrading bacteria.

INVENTION RIVERPROTEC
RESEARCH FIELD
Climate Change, Environment and Sustainability
The purpose of developing the RiverProtec from these biocomposite materials comes from the issue of protecting the riverbanks from water erosion and scouring. Current Protection systems are using mangrove pile also known as ‘Bakau Pile’ and a steel Protection system known as ‘sheet pile’. The bakau pile are using mangrove trunk due to its excellent properties serving underwater as erosion and scouring barrier. However, the dimensional design of mangrove trunks which are cylindrical in shape thus permitting some penetration by the river current making the barrier less effective to Protect the riverbanks against scouring effect. In another view, reports from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage has indicated that natural mangrove pile can only last for approximately 6 months before being decayed due to wet and dry climate cycle and it is imperative that a substitute material could be found as replacement of natural mangrove piles. Furthermore, the use of mangrove trunk as riverbank scouring Protector has claimed the coastal ecosystem in the mangrove forest and weakens the natural coastal Protection system against tidal waves and tsunamis. Steel sheet pile, pre-cast concrete are the existing retaining structure for river channel forming a riverbank Protection system. However, the cost per unit of steel sheet pile and pre-cast concrete retaining structure could reach thousands of Ringgit per meter run. Furthermore, sheet pile and pre-cast concrete retaining structure installation methods are very costly due to involvement of a number of heavy machineries such as lifting crane and pile driving machines and also transportation of these piles are difficult to deliver to project sites. Nuclear Malaysia has the knowledge and know how on the production of Agro-fibres polymer composite materials. The blend of Agro-fibres such as oil palm fibres, rubberwood fibres, coconut fibres, kenaf etc with polymeric materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene have been well established and used by Nuclear Malaysia to develop end products. Compounds for the RiverProtec are one of such products that can be produced by Nuclear Malaysia using the facilities that are available at the polymer processing facility of the Radiation Processing Technology Division of Nuclear Malaysia. The development of the RiverProtec from Agrofibres-plastic composite could provide a cost effective solution as well as preserving the precious natural mangrove forest along Malaysia’s coastal area. The unique design feature of this product also provides an easy installation method and has a good river current barrier system due to its innovative interlocking system. Riverprotec has been developed to serve as an alternative riverbank scouring protection system to replace the usage of mangrove piles which is a green technology and easy handling. The development of Riverprotec from agrofibers-plastic composite could provide a cost effective solution as well as preserving the precious natural mangrove forest along Malaysia’s coastal area.

INVENTION Duipers
RESEARCH FIELD
Medical and Healthcare
Duipers is a device that can be inserted into any conventional diaper to read moisture levels and able to send a notification to a programmed smart phone through Internet of Things (IoT). Duipers is an innovation that eases healthcare in hospitals for nurses that are taking care of coma patients and immobile senior citizens. To invent the device, we used a software called Arduino to programme a motherboard or ‘brain’ of the device. A moisture sensor is connected to the motherboard and will read moisture levels when dry, moist or wet. When the readings are in the ‘wet’ range, the motherboard will send a signal to the cloud (a place where data is stored using the internet. A custom-made application on a smartphone that is connected to the cloud will receive the data and will trigger a notification. The moisture sensor can sense moisture on a scale of 0-950, where 0-50 is dry, 51-200 is moist, and above 200 is considered wet. Many tests have been conducted and results show that there was no problem with the readings of the sensor. Tests were done using moist soil and water, and has been successful every time. Internet connectivity is also a main factor that may change the results and timing of the notification to appear. Overall, a good internet connection is required for the device to work. To conclude, Duipers is a device that can aid nurses to check their patient’s diaper at the right time. For now, nurses are still checking their patient’s diaper at a fixed time everyday, but with the Duipers, they will know exactly when their patient’s diaper needs to be changed. This will save the nurses’ or caretaker’s time and also maintain patient’s hygiene.

Pengenalan: Sejak Kolej Vokasional (KV) melalui proses tranformasi dan diperkenalkan pada tahun 2013 oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, banyak perubahan telah berlaku kepada sistem pendidikan di kolej vokasional. Telah wujud beberapa modul kursus baru yang telah diperkenalkan bagi memenuhi keperluan dalam Kurikulum Standard Kolej Vokasional (KSKV) secara umumnya. Implikasi daripada transformasi ini menyebabkan banyak KV mengalami kekurangan peralatan dan memaksa kementerian mengeluarkan belanja yang sangat besar sehingga di luar kemampuan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan sistem ini. Permasalahan: Bidang Teknologi Penyejukan dan Penyaman Udara (PPU) juga dilihat tidak dapat lari daripada perubahan ini, yang mana dengan perubahan ini menyebabkan banyak peralatan dan teknologi baru diperlukan bagi tujuan pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP) dan juga bagi tujuan pentaksiran. Antara peralatan dalam bidang yang diperlukan adalah sistem komersial AIr Cooled Chiller Pakage Unit (ACPU). Walau bagaimanapun, untuk memiliki unit komersial ini memerlukan kos yang besar merangkumi kos unit, kos pemasangan dan kos baik pulih yang tinggi. Sistem ini merangkumi 3 bahagian iaitu Chiller, Air Handling Unit (AHU) dan ducting yang menggunakan bahan pendingin memerlukan satu sistem yang besar dan kompleks yang merangkumi pemampat, penyejat dan pemeluwap untuk beroperasi. Cara penyelesaian: Penggunaan teknologi peltier menawarkan kebolehan memindahkan haba yang cekap dengan bantuan sedikit tenaga elektrik dan berpotensi dalam melakukan penyejukan ruang kecil tanpa penggunaan sistem konventional penyejukan bahan pendingin. Teknologi dengan saiz yang kecil ini dilihat mampu untuk memindahkan haba dari sesuatu ruang yang ingin disejukan ke persekitaran. Objektif: Oleh itu, kelebihan peltier ini telah digunakan dalam mereka bentuk satu model alat bahan bantu mengajar (ABBM) iaitu ABBM Air Cooled System Menggunakan Teknologi Peltier sebagai ganti kepada sistem air cooled system sebenar di KV. Melalui pembangunan projek ini dapat sedikit sebanyak membantu pelajar di KV memahami kursus yang ditawarkan. Selain itu pelajar dapat melihat sendiri bagaimana sistem air cooled ini berfungsi dari air cooled chiller sehingga kepada sistem ducting model rumah. Methodologi: Melalui projek ini, satu model rumah mini bersaiz 60 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm telah direka dan dibangunkan yang mengandungi ruangan lengkap sebuah rumah. Sebanyak 2 peltier module 12 volt telah digunakan sebagai unit penyejukan (chiller) dan akan menyejukkan ruang dalam model AHU besaiz 13 cm x 10 cm sebelum angin sejuk ini dihembus keluar oleh blower seterusnya disalurkan ke bilik-bilik di dalam model rumah yang dibina. Keupayaan teknologi peltier ini dikaji dalam keberkesanannya menyejukkan dan menyamankan udara bagi setiap ruang bilik (model rumah). Projek kemudiannya akan diuji dengan mendapatkan suhu pada setiap ruangan bilik didalam rumah. Kesimpulannya, model ABBM ini dilihat mampu beroperasi dengan baik bagi mencapai objektif yang dicari iaitu bacaan suhu di dalam ruangan bilik telah turun sehingga mencapai 20̊C dengan suhu model chiller sebanyak 10̊C.

The invention and research of plant based insect repellent that make use of plants secondary metabolite to protect agriculture plants from pests. The invention is not only safe and natural but also yields more production and save us from negative effect of chemicals. There are two ways plants protect themselves. First is Mechanical and second are secondary metabolites. In mechanical defence plants uses hairs, trichomes, thorns, spines and thicker leave to protect themselves. While secondary metabolites is chemical compounds such as terpenoids and alkaloids which used by plants either to kill or retard the development of insects. Plants too used indirect defences by releasing blend of volatiles that attract natural enemies by providing food and housing too them. Secondary metabolites are the compounds that do not affect the normal growth and development of a plant but reduces the palatability of the plant tissues in which they are produced. Nowadays as we all know many dangerous chemical used to protect our vegetables and fruits in farm which can cause serious illness in short term and long term. Our objective of the research is to identify and select commonly found plants that have secondary metabolite which repels insects and use it as protection for vegetables and fruits in farm.

This will increase the soil pollution which is already affecting the environment badly. Some sanitary pads are disposed in an incinerator which costs a high amount of money. Secondly, the commercialised sanitary pads which also contain chemicals such as dioxins, synthetic fibres and petrochemical additives which may lead to diseases such as abnormal tissue growth in the abdomen and reproductive organs. Lastly, the commercialised sanitary pads are also unaffordable by the underprivileged ones and causes them to use an unhygienic material for a period of menstruation. Thus, a biodegradable Eco-Biopad is created to solve these problems. Sugarcane bagasse is used as the main absorbent core to absorb liquid as it has the ability to absorb water. Its efficiency in absorbing liquid can be increased by soaking it with Sodium Hydroxide solution (NaOH). Sodium hydroxide solution hydrolyses lignin and hemicellulose to reduce the crystalline nature of the bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse is also be chosen because it is an organic waste substance which can naturally degrade into the soil. It is a plastic-free sanitary pads as the plastics are substituted with washable fabric. Thus, diseases which can lead to cervical cancer and vagina cancer can be avoided. Sugarcane bagasse which can be easily get from Asian countries can be bought in low price and be afforded by the people from low income background. In the process of modifying this nature-friendly sanitary pad, firstly, the sugarcane is separated from its cellulose. Then, the bagasse is left to dry completely in the oven to destroy the microorganisms which are present in it. Later, they are grinded into finer pieces using blender. After that, they were immersed into the sodium hydroxide solution. This is to increase its ability in absorbing liquids. Lastly, they were compressed using a compressor according to our desired shape and is left to dry again.

INVENTION The Replacement of Paper Box With Chicken Feather
RESEARCH FIELD
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
Wood pulp usage in paper products is alarming as it becomes one of the cause of deforestation, which endangers ecosystems. In this projects, we suggest chicken feathers which are usually thrown away as waste to replace wood pulp. The materials used to make chicken feather sheet are only chicken feathers mixed with epoxy resin and its hardener. Chicken feathers are actually used widely in poultry production such as pillow stuffing, diapers, insulation and papers. In this project, we will substitute the uses of wood pulp in production of paper boxs into chicken feathers in order to prevent deforestation. In this project, we use specific ratio of chicken feathers to an epoxy with its hardener. After that we put them into a mold plate that are covered with Mylar plastic and compress the mixture by using a compressor machine. Then we leave it to dry overnight. The product is examined with two different types of test which are tensile strength and water absorbency. We found out that chicken feathers sheet have lower tensile strength compared to paper box, but it absorbs less water than paper box. This shows our product can stand humidity and wet condition higher than paper box. Usage of chicken feathers to replace wood pulp would reduce wastage of chicken feather and be one of the measures to control deforestation.

INVENTION Production of Silver Nanoparticles As An Alternative Antibacterial Agent Using A Newly Discovered Isolated Bacteria In Malaysia
RESEARCH FIELD
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
Multi-drug resistance is a growing problem in the treatment of infectious diseases and the wide- spread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics has produced antibiotic resistance for many human bacter- ial pathogens. Hence, the development of new antimicrobial compounds or the modification of those that already exist in order to improve antimicrobial activity is a high priority area of research. Silver has a strong antimicrobial potential because its toxicity to human cells is considerably lower than to bacteria. The effectiveness of silver nanoparticles is greater compared to a bulk of silver. In this project, the biologically-synthesis route was chosen. Firstly, bacterial-producing silver nanoparticles are cultured. When left overnight, there is growth of bacteria. Next, silver nanoparticles are generated as there was change in colour from yellow to dark brown. Afterwards, we do disk diffusion assay. Six petri dishes with agar that were labelled as blank disc, distilled water, silver nitrate , silver nanoparticles, 25μg/μL ampicillin, and 30μg/μL kanamycin were prerpared. Then, E. Coli in all of the petri dishes were cultured. After that, a blank disc is put in a petri dish. When left overnight, it can be seen that zone of inhibition ring for silver nanoparti- cles is the highest, whereas the lowest is for 25μg/μL ampicillin. The methods that were used in this experiment is all environmental friendly. In conclusion, silver nanoparticles generated from a newly discovered Bacillus sp. strain bacteria from Malaysia resulted in higher inhibition zone that commonly used antibiotics. Thus, this silver nanoparticles can be used for many purposes such as silver coating in washing machine and screens of gadgets.

INVENTION Cockle Shell And Sugarcane Baggase As Replacement Of Gravel In Making Concrete Block
RESEARCH FIELD
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM)
Concrete is an important part of the construction industry. However, the manufacture of concrete using natural course aggregate will result in lack of useful gravel in future construction. The cockle shells that are often removed are highly potential in replacing gravel as an aggregate course. In this project, the quantity of cockle shell removal can be reduced and can preserve the existing natural coarse aggregate for future use. Additionally, partial recycled concrete blocks that are suitable to be used can be produced. Cockle shells thrown away by restaurants are taken and cleaned. Then, crushed using a crusher to produce smaller sizes in accordance with the concrete mixer and mixed with cement, water and sand. Subsequently, the mixture is poured into a mould and is burned in the dry oven to dry and harden the concrete. The maximum force that can be exerted on the cockleshell concrete block is 87.30kN while the commercial concrete block is 52.68kN. Cockleshell concrete absorbs less water than the commercial concrete and also has higher resistance towards fire than the commercial concrete. Cockleshell concrete is heavier than commercial concrete in the market which is 2.68kg compared to the commercial concrete which is 2.58kg. However, the cost of construction is cheaper because it uses waste. This means that cockle shell are a good material in replacing gravel in production of concrete.

INVENTION Biomass Dry Cell
RESEARCH FIELD
Climate Change, Environment and Sustainability
Usage of common dry cell leads to high electronic wastage and environmental issues as carbon rod in dry cell is primarily manufactured using petroleum, a non-renewable method. Disposal of the dry cell itself gives negative impacts to environment. In order to overcome this critical issue, the dry cell carbon electrode should be made from renewable sources. Moreover, the dry cell should be designed in a way that carbon electrode can refilled time-to-time to reduce electronic wastage. By designing a sustainable dry cell, in which the carbon content of it is produced from biomass and can be refilled continuously can help prevent the aforementioned problem.

INVENTION Green Energy Brick
RESEARCH FIELD
In recent days, the increasing of waste product have become a problem as the there are not enough space to placed them. The increasing waste tyres and polystyrene in our country have become somewhat worrisome. The cost of solid waste collection, and transporting the waste to the landfill, is very high. Moreover, improper solid waste management caused negative impact on people and the environment. An initiative to solve this problem is by recycling these waste product and uses it for something useful. Therefore method of recycling is one of the best alternative to reduce the number of solid waste. This product was developed using a combination of shredded waste tyres, expended polystyrene (EPS), sand and cement to develop Green Energy Brick. These bricks can be used to reduce the temperature effect in a house and also act as a sound buffer. Automatically the energy usage can be reduced too. The result shows that the composite brick can also save the cost by reducing the sand and cement ratio in the overall building construction.
