Human like sovereign system that is capable to adapt itself with the changes of its environment and continue to reach its goal is considered as Humanoid Robot. In recent years much progress has been done in the design and development of humanoid and still there have a lot of opportunities in this field. Strategies of lower torso are concern for man

In this work, a combination of artificial neural network (ANN), Fourier descriptors (FD) and spatial domain analysis (SDA) has been proposed for the development of an automatic fruits identification and sorting system. Fruits images are captured using digital camera inclined at different angles to the horizontal. Segmentation is used for the classi

Advances in neonatal care now enable more infants to be kept alive despite clear clinical evidence of inevitable or imminent death on a life-support system. It is therefore no longer acceptable to the society that a patient is left to die in the hospital, without any form of treatment or intervention. We report a case of severe birth asphyxia, hypo

A common method of handling the problem of missing variances in meta-analysis of continuous response is through imputation. However, the performance of imputation techniques may be influenced by the type of model utilised. In this article, we examine through a simulation study the effects of the techniques of imputation of the missing SDs and type

Endoglucanase is an industrially important enzyme involved in degradation of cellulosic materials into constitutive monomers synergistically with other cellulase enzymes. In this study, overexpression of (His)6-tagged endoglucanase I from Fusarium oxysporum sp. in E. coli BL21(DE3) resulted to high tendency of endoglucanase I in the form of inactiv

Void formation in oxide scale during high temperature oxidation is a common phenomenon.Over a long period of time voids will affect the mechanical property of scales by influencing the cracking and spalling. Voids formed in dry environment are different than that of formed in humid environment. With the presence of water vapor in humid environment

With the progressive number of COVID-19 cases, this pandemic has adversely immpacted the Takāful market in different forms containing liquidity impact, financial market volatility and solvency capital. This study describes the Malaysian takāful and insurance market throughout the COVID-19 crisis as well as its response to alleviate the burden fac

Biodiesel is a non-toxic, renewable and environmental friendly fuel. This study involved the production of biodiesel from sludge palm oil (SPO), a low-cost waste oil via enzymatic catalysis. The enzyme catalyst was a Candida cylindracea lipase, locally-produced using palm oil mill effluent as the low cost based medium. The results in solvent system
