Cover:The design of the cover was fashioned from two figures:• The left of the cover, found on pp. 55 (Figure 17 — SEM micrographs) of an article entitledA Study on the Effects of Environment on Curing Characteristics of Thixotropic and RoomTemperature Cured Epoxy-based Adhesives Using DMTA (pp. 37–58), where researchers fromUniversiti MARA and Universti Putra Malaysia investigated the thermal properties of epoxybasedadhesive reinforced with nano- and micro-particles before and after exposure to thedifferent environmental conditions. The results showed that room temperature cured epoxies wereonly partially cured at room temperature.• On the right of the cover shows a three-dimensional coil structure (Figure 1, pp. 28) in the articleentitled Investigations on Physical Characteristics of Three-dimensional Coil Structure forMEMS Magnetometer (pp. 27–36). Scientists at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia investigated(using FEM simulation) the physical characteristics of three-dimensional coils and its correlationwith magnetic energy. The changing of the dimension size of the coil had an effect on inductance,magnetic energy and magnetic flux density.In Pursuit of Excellence in ScienceVol. 7, No. 1, June 2013 • ISSN : 1823-6782© Academy of Sciences MalaysiaAll rights reserved.
