Unlike general gestures, Sign Languages (SLs) are highly structured so that it provides an appealing test bed for understanding more general principles for hand shape, location and motion trajectory. Hand posture shape in other words static gestures detection and recognition is crucial in SLs and plays an important role within the duration of the m

National governments around the world have taken legislative steps to provide for stronger measures for fear of being struck by cyber-terrorists. Malaysia is not excluded. This paper examines the nature, scope of cyberterrorism and how it threatens the critical information infrastructure and national security. A brief survey is presented on cyberte

Sign Language Recognition systems require not only the hand motion trajectory to be classified but also facial features, Human Upper Body (HUB) and hand position with respect to other HUB parts. Head, face, forehead, shoulders and chest are very crucial parts that can carry a lot of positioning information of hand gestures in gesture classification

Hand gesture is an approach that ha~ gained much anenlion for real-time HUrTIlln 10 Computer llIleraction (1ICI) applications. In lhis chapter, we pro,-ide a survey on Computational Inlelligence Tedmiq""s (CID fot hand g~lIIre recognition for HCI applications in general and Hidden Markov Mood (HMM) in paruculat. Many tnlditional metlKxls ex

The objective ofthis chapter is to list the contribution of AI-Zahrawi in the surgery of swellings and tumours. This chapter explores AI- Zahrawi as a surgeon in the field of inflammatory swellings and tumours. He was known as the most notable Muslim surgeon during the Islamic civilization. His name is Abu-AI-Qasim Khalaf Ibn'Abbas AI-Zahrawi k

Vision-based hand posture detection and tracking is an important issue for Human to Computer Interaction applications. The performance of recognition system fIrst depends on the process of getting effIcient features to represent pattern characteristics [1]. There is no algorithm which shows how to select the representation or choose the features [2

The aim of this chapter is to present a review on the development of vision systems based on hand gesture. Vision-Based Human to Computer Interaction (HCI) systems has the ability of carrying a wealth of information in a natural way and at a low cost. Therefore hand recognition becomes a widely studied topic with a wide range of applications such a

The purpose of this study was to empirically test the Malaysian Technical and Vocational Education Training (VTET) Graduates’ Job Performance inventory. The study involved 287 respondents consisting of job supervisors of the TVET graduates. They were required to respond to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. The inventory originally consisted o

This paper addresses the role of both global quality and strategic planning in the process of enhancing educational excellence and creating value and opportunities for sustainable development.The paper posits that global quality aims at creating global value added to serve global stakeholders & customers in line with global standards. Hence, wh

Most AFMs use piezoelectric tube nanopositioners for scanning. Fast actuation of piezoelectric tubes are restricted due to the presence of low mechanical resonant modes. These resonances, when excited, set off vibrations that cause loss of precision and repeatability of the scans. Thereby restricting the scanning frequencies to less than 1% of the
