This paper aims at developing a flexible video analysis system that can be used in wide range of video surveillance applications as well as to detect the human being. The developed system is called here as Smart Video Analysis System. This SVAS is able to detect and track interested objects. It can also detect people and recognize their activities

The multidisciplinary field of tissue-engineering was born as a means to restore or replace diseased tissue with new living tissue that is designed or constructed to meet the needs of each individual patient. Scientific advances in biomaterials, stem cells, growth factors, and biomimetic environments have created opportunities to reconstruct tissue

Identifying the intraocular lens (IOL) material is an important step before further mechanical and optical testing can be done. The characterization of the materials is particularly important during the finite element analysis where the simulation of the lens can be performed in accordance to the well-established standards. The aim of this work is

Our previous works have shown the importance of incorporating mathematical models to provide objective quantification in clinical settings. This includes aiding optometrists to make clinical decision based on validated scientific data, not by mere hunches or instincts. We have demonstrated that with the right tool, the application of machine learni

Objective: Studies reported a high prevalence of low back pain among healthcare-related staff. However, the association between undergraduate students, who are potentially exposed to the same occupational risks has never been demonstrated. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of low back pain, back pain beliefs an

Abstract The upsurge in the morbidity and mortality rate among the bottom 40 categories in Southeast Asia has been attributed to socio-economic inequalities. The potentials of social assistance in alleviating ill-health challenges have been gaining attention in recent times. The underlying rationale is that improving the health and general well-bei

Bringing benefits and repelling harm is one of the main objectives embedded in the divine law of Shariah. The law of Shariah came in its entirety for the preservation of fundamental principles of Allah on the creation such as the five maqāsid al-shari‘ah principles. Since the dawn of the scientific revolution, genetic engineering has triggered s

Given that the co-existence of multimedia applications will be a norm in the future wireless systems, their quality of service (QoS) requirements need to be guaranteed. This has imposed new challenges in the design of packet scheduling algorithms in these systems. To address those challenges, a new packet scheduling algorithm for real time (RT) tra

The use of Hybrid ARQ in wireless networks is to provide fast re-transmits and to lower the overall error rate. The performance of HARQ schemes is a well studied field, with many results to draw from in the literature. An area that is less researched is what impact Hybrid ARQ has on LTE systems. We are, specifically, interested in looking at the sy

Nowadays computer simulation plays a significant role in analyzing the radar signals. The research group at the Radar and Communication Systems (RCS) has developed a maritime radar, called INDERA, that works using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology. In line with the enhancement of the radar system we have alsodeveloped a soft
