Abstract: The goal of this study is to identify success factors
that could influence the ISMS self-implementation in government
sector from qualitative perspective. This study is based on a case
study in one of the Malaysian government agency. Semi-structured
interviews involving five key informants were conducted to examine
factors addressed in the conceptual framework. Subsequently,
thematic analysis was executed to describe the influence of each
factor on the success implementation of ISMS. The result of this
study indicates that management commitment, implementer
commitment and implementer competency are part of the success
factors for ISMS self-implementation in Malaysian Government
Sector.
Abstract: In this study concept of experimental design is
successfully applied for the determination of optimum condition to
produce PP/SWCNT (Polypropylene/Single wall carbon nanotube)
nanocomposite. Central composite design as one of experimental
design techniques is employed for the optimization and statistical
determination of the significant factors influencing on the tensile
modulus and yield stress as mechanical properties of this
nanocomposite. The significant factors are SWCNT weight fraction
and acid treatment time for functionalizing the nanoparticles.
Optimum conditions are in 0.7 % of SWCNT weight fraction and 210
min as acid treatment time for 1112.75 ± 28 MPa as maximum tensile
modulus and in 216 min and 0.65 % as acid treatment time and
SWCNT weight fraction respectively for 40.26 ± 0.3 MPa as
maximum yield stress. Also after setting new experiments for test
these optimum conditions, found excelent agreement with predicted
values.
