It is important to explore further the issues on safety culture in the construction sites since it has become one of the most highlighted issues in the Malaysian industrial context. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the factors that affect safety culture in construction sector in Malaysia. The sample of this study focuses on construction companies in Sarawak that are registered with CIDB as Grade 7 contractor. The informants who were chosen using convenience sampling method were sourced from three different Divisions in Sarawak namely Kuching, Miri and Limbang. An in-depth face-to-face interview was used to gather relevant information from the informants. The findings revealed that there are six factors namely the enforcement from authorities, cost allocation, cooperation and commitment from all parties, workers' background, relationship between management and workers, and appropriate incentives that have greater influence on safety culture. It is hoped that this study could provide readers and practitioners further information on whether safety culture is being practiced or not by most construction companies in Malaysia and the elements that gives more prominent influence towards the implementation.

This is an attempt to develop an expert system for computer-guided of serial pathological bacterial testing to facilitate determination of antimicrobial therapy. If deem successful, the system could indirectly help reduce the cost of pathological testing and increase the efficiency of assignment of antimicrobial therapy to patients. Six common pathological tests, 19 infectious bacteria, and 16 recommended antimicrobial therapies were screened, identified, and selected. Decision table and decision tree are used in developing the knowledge base. Bayesian reasoning is employs for uncertainty management. Four user interface testers and one domain expert reviewer tested the usability of the system. The system has good potential but required further rigorous knowledge acquisition techniques, more breadth and depth in knowledge base contents, and better help facilities.

Successful knowledge transfer is an important process which requires continuous improvement in today's knowledgeintensive economy. However, improving knowledge transfer processes represents a challenge for most of the small and medium size consulting firms. In recent years, the terminology ‘knowledge management’ initiative has been introduced. The concept of knowledge management (KM) is seen as the solution through the inculcation of knowledge sharing via various tools and techniques in managing the knowledge within parties in construction. Through intranet as one of the KM tools, the organisations are able to create, acquire and transfer knowledge. The aim of this research paper was to investigate how quantity surveying (QS) consulting firms is exploiting intranet technology in facilitating knowledge management in order to deliver quantity surveying services efficiently. A qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews was adopted as the method used to establish current knowledge management practices and the tools used for sharing knowledge and learning. The study finds that the use of intranet has not been used to its fullest potential due to the barriers and challenges in using intranet as KM tools. Thus has created some problems with regard to deliver quantity surveying services efficiently. A discussion is also included on the future research direction for the development of a conceptual framework to support the integration of quantity's surveyor services with relevant knowledge management initiative.

Malaysia has seen at least 40 cases of landslide due to slopes failures from 1961 to 2008 which have claimed at least 128 lives. This emphasizes the importance of monitoring such slopes for safety and maintenance purposes. However the monitoring of them could be both expensive and dangerous. Therefore this study provides alternative of monitoring the slope using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derived from close-range photogrammetric data. Mass movement on the slope area can be detected by comparison of DEMs derived from two or more epochs data. In this study the DEMs were generated from stereo photographs captured from two different times (13/05/2007 and 07/04/2008). This method used commercial pocket camera for its data capture, thus indicates its low cost and its suitability for monitoring inaccessible and risky areas remotely. Restitution of stereo model is performed by involving Ground Control Points (GCP) to yield camera parameters, positions and orientations of each photo. Having these parameters, positions of all sampling points on stereo photos can be transformed into ground coordinate system. Terrain data sampling points in this research were performed by regular sampling methods. To measure the quality of the generated DEM, they were compared with a set of data measured by reflector-less Total Station (TS). The result yield DEMs with centimeters accuracy in elevation and less than 0.5 % in volume difference. The result shows that for the period of one year there were significant terrain changes on ground surface. It was indicated by distribution of gain and loss areas on the slope, and extreme changes in longitudinal and cross sections profiling.

Project success is defined as the overall achievement of project goals and expectations. However, the way project success was measured changed over the life of the project, with time and cost typically being the most important priorities during the project definition to execution phases. This study examines the key factors that influencing the successful completion of construction project from client and contractors' perspectives. The findings from the questionnaire survey of 141 respondents have identified fifteen 15 major influence factors and this has further confirmed by the subject matter experts through interview sessions. Factor analysis is performed on data collected from Public Work Department (PWD) and contractor in separate cases in order to study the differences of major influence factors from both parties' perspectives. A Principal Component analysis with varimax orthogonal rotation method revealed the following results: 6 latent factors from PWD perspective and 5 latent factors from contractor perspective which representing underlying structure for the success of project completion. Finally, the paper discusses and compares the underlying reasons of the key factors from the client and contractor point of view. This paper will highlight the key factors that project team must pay closer attention to in order that their projects can be completed within budget and schedule, to acceptable level of quality, and to owners' satisfaction.

High water discharge due to prolonged heavy rainfalls will result in an undesirable condition for the stability of a channel embankment. Due to this natural disaster, channel embankment failures may occur causing losses to life and property in flood-prone areas. In this work, the stability conditions of channel embankments are investigated using computer software that utilizes a finite element method (FEM). The embankment is modeled in four typical stability conditions that may cause failure namely: at the end of construction, during average service conditions, during flooding, and during rapid drawdown conditions. For comparison, the embankment was reinforced with nonwoven geotextiles to study the effect on these stability conditions. A proposed analytical method consisting of seepage, stress-deformation, and stability analyses is performed. The modelling technique proposed not only facilitates the computation of factor of safety but also the deformation due to embankment consolidation.

The article presented finite element analysis work on modelling impactor shape effects on plain woven fabric puncture damage. Woven fabric models were developed with ABAQUS finite element analysis software package. Large scale woven fabric models consisting of 112 yarns in both warp and weft direction were developed with ABAQUS preprocessor module prior to simulation analysis. Woven fabric model development procedure for finite element analysis was based on the validated uniaxial tensile model reported in the earlier publication. Four impactor shapes for the simulation were flat, hemispherical, conical and ogival. The simulation results were analyzed in terms of stress-strains, post-impact kinetic energy and damage evolution. The research proposed that crimp interchange and yarn extension are two important mechanisms in woven fabric puncture.

Thiourea complex encapsulated into functionalized-MCM41 was carried out in four stages. First stage is synthesized the MCM41 framework by using Ludox as silica source and Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as surfactant. Second stage is modification of surface MCM-41 with organic group which is 3-aminoprophyltriethoxysilane. Next stage is encapsulation of 2-thiouracil into functionalized-MCM41 and then was incorporated with copper acetate monohydrate to produce thiourea complex. The Cu(OAC)2-Thio-APS-MCM41 catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen desorption-adsorption isotherm, single-point BET, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The catalytic potential of Cu(OAC)2-Thio-APS-MCM41 catalyst was investigated in oxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide. The oxidation reaction was monitored by gas chromatography. It was observed that Cu(OAC)2-Thio-APS-MCM41 catalyst displayed good properties of catalyst for oxidation reaction by giving high percentage conversion of cyclohexene and selectivity of 2-cyclohexen-1one. The catalytic activity was compared with the reaction without catalyst.

This paper reports a study which aimed to produce useful guidelines for producing artwork for printmaking artist. Employing the content analysis approach as the main research method, the study develops printmaking guidelines for artwork which consists of two critical components, namely definition and characters. The definition components is further broken down into “matrix”, “transferring” and “by product” while the character components are divided into “multiple”, “duplication” and “mass product”. The developed guidelines should be useful to not only contemporary printmaking artist but also higher learning institution and the general public.

More papers are written about Active Anti-roll bars (AARB) in automotive and mechanical field. These systems are usually designed for vehicles to change the roll stiffness of the vehicle, thus preventing a potential roll-over. In this present paper, the use of AARB will be analysed from two different perspectives in ride and handling. First, this paper proposed the basic vehicle dynamic modeling with four DOF (degree of freedom) on half car model are described that show, why and how it is possible to control the handling and ride comfort of the car, with the external forces on the front anti-roll bar. Basically, this paper is focused on understanding the vehicle dynamic behaviour under the influence and the effects of anti-roll bar mechanism. Simulated tests are presented, that shows how the characteristics of the body roll angle and roll rate responses by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. By simulation analysis, the design model is validity and the performance under control of PID controller is achieved. Finally, some basic conclusions are drawn about the applicability of the possible control strategies will be investigated for such system in the future.
