...So, what is Vision 2020? The Vision 2020 was developed to be a long-term goal for the nation, the goal of Malaysia becoming a “fully developed country” by year 2020 (The Mahathir Years, 2009). In other words, by the year 2020, Malaysia can be a united nation, with a confident Malaysian society, infused by strong moral and ethical values, living in a society that is democratic, liberal and tolerant, caring, economically just and equitable, progressive and prosperous, and in full possession of an economy that is competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient (Wawasan 2020, nd). However, the Vision 2020 equires the Malaysian economy to grow at 7.0% per annum. The 9th Malaysia Plan envisages an annual growth of 6.5%, while the Third Industrial Master Plan targets 6.3% growth for the plan period (Gregore Pio Lopez, nd). Also, Malaysia could not be fully developed until Malaysia has finally overcome the nine central strategic challenges that have confronted us from the moment of our birth as an independent nation. According to Wawasan 2020, it is to be said that one of the challenges of achieving Vision 2020 will be establishing establishing a united Malaysian nation with a sense of common and shared destiny. This must be a nation at peace with itself, territorially and ethnically integrated, living in harmony and full and fair partnership, made up of one 'Bangsa Malaysia' with political loyalty and dedication to the nation. For instance, this can be seen in the big gap between Malay...

...Wawasan 2020 or Vision 2020 is a malaysian ideal introduced by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir bin Mohamad during the tabling of the Sixth Malaysia Plan in 1991. The vision calls for the nation to achieve a self-sufficient industrialized nation by the year 2020, encompasses all aspects of life, from economic prosperity, social well-being, educational worldclass, political stability, as well as psychological balance. In order to achieve Vision 2020, Mahathir lamented that the nation required an annual growth of 7% (in real terms) over the thirty-year periods (1990–2020), so that the economy would be eightfold stronger than its 1990 GDP of RM115 billion. This would translate to a GDP of RM920 billion (in 1990 Ringgit terms) in 2020.Wawasan 2020 is also the title of an article by William Greider about globalization in Malaysia.Mahathir had outlined nine strategic challenges that Malaysia must overcome to achieve Vision 2020. The first challenge is establishing a united Malaysian nation made up of one Bangsa Malaysia (Malaysian Race). The second challenge is creating a psychologically liberated, secure and developed Malaysian society. The third challenge is fostering and developing a mature democratic society. The fourth challenge is establishing a fully moral and ethical society. The fifth challenge is establishing a matured liberal and tolerant society. The sixth challenge is establishing a scientific and progressive society. The seventh challenge is establishing...

...Department of Chemistry PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY I Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium in a Ternary System #03 Anas Ahmed Al-Aidaros 200935483 Sec. 01 Instructor: Dr. Joanna Pajak Introduction: Objective Determination of the solubility limits in a ternary system of water and two other liquids, one of which is completely miscible and the other is partly miscible with water. According to the phase rule of Gibbs the variance F (number of degrees of freedom) of a system at equilibrium is equal to the number of components c minus the number of phases p plus 2, provided that the equilibrium is influenced only by temperature, pressure, and concentration. A system with three independent components has F=5-P degrees of freedom. An invariant point in a ternary system therefore contains five different phases in equilibrium with each other. An invariant point can for example consist of a vapor phase, a liquid phase, and three solid phases in equilibrium with each other. A ternary system with three phases (solid-liquid-vapor) in equilibrium with each other has two degrees of freedom. If the temperature is fixed, one degree of freedom remains. A phase diagram isotherm showing a ternary system with a vapor phase and a liquid phase requires therefore a line to mark the concentration range in which a solid phase is in equilibrium with the other two phases. A point needed to mark concentrations where two solid phases are in equilibrium with liquid and vapor. Experimental: Chemical...

The vessel is then flipped and placed into the pan of water where the glass plate or plastic wrap is removed. 5) A thermometer is not present in the space (or volume) in which the CO2(g) is collected in this experiment. A. How then is the temperature of the CO2 determined in the experiment? The temperature of the CO2 is measured based on the temperature of the water in the pan. B. The mass of a gas is elusive. How is the mass of the CO2 collected over water determined in this experiment? You find the mass of CO2 by first determining the mass of the 200-mm CO2 generator and the remaining contents. You compare this pass to the mass from the beginning of the experiment. After you subtract the mass of the generator and then calculate the mass lost in the sample. 6) A 0.276g sample of a Calcium Carbonate heterogeneous mixture was placed into a gas generator, the total mass of which is 87.719 g is connected to a gas-collection apparatus.

...oxygen transfer as well as examining the relationship between KLa and other fermenter variables like speed of the impeller and air flow rate, thereby calculating the values α and β in the KLa correlation: KLa = K[Pg/V]α (Vs)β KLa is the volumetric liquid phase mass transfer coefficient indicative of the mass transfer of oxygen dissolved in the liquid to the cell. It is calculated using the dynamic method which is usually used for vessels which are less than 1m in height because there is nitrogen gas hold-up in the vessel when air is reintroduced and the measurement of concentration of oxygen in the liquid does not reflect the kinetics of simple oxygen transfer until a hold-up of air in established. The measured parameters included gassed power (Pg), impeller speed, flow rate (indirectly superficial gas velocity) and DOT%. It was seen that as the power input was increased, the KLa increased for the same flow rate and that this increase was greater than increase in the flow rate of the gas, which shows confirms the results described in the literature. Introduction (326 words) Cells in aerobic cultures require oxygen for metabolism and growth. The rate of oxygen transfer from aerated liquid to the cell is especially important at high cell densities, when cell growth is likely to be limited by the availability of oxygen in the medium. The solubility of oxygen in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and pressure is only about 10 ppm, (Doran, 1998) which is quickly consumed by...

...CHARACTERISTICS OF REFRIGERANTS Pure R-12 (CC 1425F425) is colorless. It is odorless in concentrations of less than 20 percent by volume in air. In higher concentrations, its odor resembles that of carbon tetrachloride. It has a boiling point of -21°F at atmospheric pressure. At ordinary temperatures under a pressure of approximately 70 psig to 75 psig, R-12 is liquid. Because of R-12’s low boiling point at atmospheric pressure, you must always protect your eyes from contact with liquid R-12; the liquid will freeze the tissues of the eyes. Always wear goggles if you is to be be exposed to R-12. R-22 (CHC1F425) and R-11(CC1435F) are colorless, nonexclusive, nonpoisonous refrigerants with many properties similar to those of R-12. Because of the similarities between R-22, R-11, and R-12, only R-12 is discussed. Mixtures of R-12 vapor and air, in all proportions, will not irritate your eyes, nose, throat, or lungs. The refrigerant will not contaminate or poison foods or other supplies with which it may come in contact. The vapor’s nonpoisonous. However, if R-12 concentration becomes excessive, it can cause you to become unconscious or cause death because of lack of oxygen to the brain.R-12 is nonflammable and nonexclusive in either liquid or vapor state. R-12 will not corrode the metals commonly used in refrigerating systems.R-12 is a stable compound capable of undergoing the physical changes required of it in refrigeration service...

...approximately 760 mm Hg; i.e., the weight of a column of mercury measuring 1 mm2 and 760 mm tall. This equates to about 29.7 inches of mercury. If we reduce the pressure above the sample that we are heating, we can reduce the boiling point of the liquid. This is referred to as a vacuum distillation or carrying out a distillation in vacuo. For example, while water boils at 100oC (or 212° F) at 760 mm Hg, it boils around 22oC at 20 mm Hg. The boiling point of a liquid is a physical characteristic of a compound. Many factors go into the estimation of the boiling point of a liquid such as the shape (round, oval, elongated), the mass and most importantly, hydrogen bonding (H-bonding). Methane with a mass of 16 does not engage in H-bonding and is a gas at room temperature while water (mass 18) boils at 100oC. While we can often guess the relative boiling points of a series of compounds, it is rather difficult to calculate a boiling point based on first principals. Similarly,...

...Module 6 – Written Assignment – Analysis of a Specific Medical Advancement – Jeffrey Fischbein – 2/11/14 Rocket-Powered Prosthetic Arm We have all heard the cliché “you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone”. For some it can be a materialistic thing as a car or a cellphone. Others are boyfriends or girlfriends that recently broken up. But for some, it can be something much more than that. Something that is more personal to them. To others it can be a limb that was lost from war, an accident, and diseases such as diabetes. We can only imagine on how hard life can be without the use of our hands. Unfortunately it is a brutal reality to others who do live day by day with only one or no arms at all. Prosthetic arms have very limited actions as some don’t bend with just a hook at the end of it. Some of the other more advanced prosthetic arms only bend and move from two places, the elbow and the wrist. With today’s technology increasingly advancing, and with the help of a university professor, the six million dollar man with robotic limbs is not too far from becoming a reality. Professor Michael Goldfarb from University Vanderbilt and his team have developed what looks to be the beginning of new prosthetic arms to be human like and very functional. “The prototype can lift (curl) about 20 to 25 pounds – three to four times more than current commercial arms – and can do so three to four times faster. "That means it has about 10 times as much power as other arms despite...
