Sustainable asphalt pavement is important in decreasing material costs by improving the existing material such as modified asphalt binders. It is also needed to provide a quality riding for road users. In achieving quality riding, the material selection and mix design must be correctly examined before using in pavement construction. Then, the aims of this study are to determine suitability of material selected by examining the aggregate properties and modified asphalt binder. In modified asphalt binder, 6% of polyacrylate polymer was added as an additive in 500g of binder content to dissolve. It was checked through Superpave gyratory compactor in determining air voids samples in term of height after compacted. The samples were mixed with different percentages of binder content; 5%, 5.5%, 6% and 6.5% to produce control and polyacrylate modified samples. 8 gyratory for Ninitialand 100 gyratory for Ndesignwere used in compaction of samples to determine air voids in term of height. The results show that 5.5% of binder content of polyacrylate modified samples has lower air voids compare than control samples. Thus, modified binders are able to minimize binder usage and save natural sources and also cost by improving bonding between mixtures to prevent pavement failure
The development of information technology has contributed to the growth in e-learning as an additional educational method. E-learning provides the opportunities for the academician to share their knowledge, resources and expertise in a diverse way. E-learning supports learners with some special capabilities such as interactivity, strong search, immediacy, physical mobility and situating of educational activities, self-organized and self-directed learning, corporate training, personalized learning and effective technique of delivering lesson and gaining knowledge. The model for the framework was adopted from Hassanzaneh, Kannani and Elahi (2012). 100 respondents were the individual students who are currently bachelor's degree students whom used the i-Learn Portal at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Cawangan Kelantan in their learning activities. The findings confirmed that Service Quality; Technical System Quality; and Content and Information Quality significantly influence the intention to use i-Learn Portal at UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. However, the findings also confirm that Educational Quality does not significantly influence the intention to use i-Learn Portal at UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. UiTM Cawangan Kelantan needs to upgrade the educational quality used in order to provide a conducive learning environment for learners for different types of user's learning style and the university should upgrade its Wi-Fi connection bandwith to enable students to open the i-Learn portal anytime, anywhere in the campus.
Generally, most university students are reluctant to speak English in public due to lack of Englishproficiency. This situation has led to lost interest in role-play activity among UiTM Cawangan Kelantanstudents; particularly Integrated Language Skills 1 (ELC121) students. Hence, this project intends toincrease students’ interest in role-play activity as well as enhance students’ proficiency in Englishlanguage especially in role-play assessment. This project focuses on using Interactive DVD as a tool tohelp in motivating the student’s interest and enhancing student’s proficiency level. This interactive DVD iscomprised of notes, samples of dialogues and video presentations meant for teaching and learning roleplay.Based on the outcomes, the students show positive enthusiasms in joining the class and performoutstandingly in role-play test. The Interactive DVD motivates them to actively participate in role playactivity with confidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
