Traditionally, surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators are key components in transceiver systems. SAW devices can act as high pass or low filters, high quality resonators and are usually fabricated on piezoelectric substrates such as quartz or lithium niobate. Recently, there has been interest to design the SAW devices using complementary metal-oxid

Studies using different methods have been carried out of older adults’ use of mobile technology in Malaysia and the UK. Preliminary results suggest that there are significant differences in the results which are culturally dependent.Investigation of Cultural Dependency in Mobile Technology and Older Adults Abstract Studies using different methods

There is a growing international discourse on the public responsibility for higher education and its emerging roles in human and social development (GUNI, 2008). Various forums and publications have focused on how higher education institutions (HEIs) could contribute to a systematic and proactive analysis to develop critical discourses with which s

The paper is based on a study that compares data collected from two methods, namely, individuals acting as respondents and individuals acting as informants. The former involves self-rating while the later asks individuals to rate other’s beliefs, preferences, and actions. The study objective was to examine the role of social desirability factor i

Background: Tympanojugular paragangliomas (TJPs) with intradural extension can be successfully treated by a single or staged procedure with low surgical morbidity. Objectives: To present the clinical findings and treatment methods used for surgically treating TJP with intradural extension, as well as to discuss the complications of treatment and th

The power of branding is most often powerful than the product itself. Renowned brands like Procter and Gamble paid Richardson-Vicks 2.6 times of its book value. Nabisco was sold for 3.2 times of its book value and General Motors was sold for 3.5 times its book value. Whilst these corporations succeeded in using their brand as a source for their com

This study focuses on the prediction of effluent removal through Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) in Septic Sludge Treatment Plant (SSTP) located in Sarawak. The SBR is a fill-and-draw activated sludge system for wastewater treatment plant. The current system practiced has successfully produced a high efficiency of effluent removal, namely Chemical Oxy

Amongst the major challenges in post-stroke rehabilitation are the repetitiveness nature of rehabilitation procedure, and the accessibility of therapists for long-term treatment. In manual rehabilitation procedure, the patient is subjected to repetitive mechanical movement of the affected limb by the therapist. In one of the techniques called activ

Normally, humans were born with five fingers connected to each of the hands. These fingers have their own specific role that contributes to different hand functions. Among the five fingers, the thumb plays the most special function as an anchor to many of hand activities such as turning a key, gripping a ball and holding a spoon for eating. As a re

The paper presents a real-time affective state detection namely the engagement level detection by using fuzzy classifier that can be applied to human-robot interaction. In order to develop the fuzzy classifier, the engagement model is developed using the data collected from a controlled design experiment. In the experiment, the data collected are f
