In this paper, a systematic robust control design and analysis for a single axis precise positioner is presented. The effects of uncertainties on closed-loop stability and performance are considered in the H∞ robust controllers design. v-gap met- ric is utilized to validate the intelligently estimated uncertainty. The robust controllers are formu

Lead chalcogenides (LCs) exhibit non-stability and lower device efficiency due to smaller bandgap (Eg) leading to poor optical properties for photovoltaic (PV) applications. In this work, optical properties of transition metals (TMs) such as (Mn and Fe) co-doped with LCs especially PbS in the framework of DFT+U (8 eV) and L/APW+lo method are theore

A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher-level networks. Three deadlock-free adaptive routing algorithms called link-selection, channel-selection, and a combination of link-selection and channel-selection was

Computer malwares are major threats that always find a way to penetrate the network, posing threats to the confidentiality, integrity and the availability of data. Network-borne malwares penetrate networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in networks and systems. IT administrators in campus wide network continue to look for security control solutions

Under-reporting of self-reported energy intake (EI) has been described in female, overweight, and pregnant subjects but little is known about its prevalence in severely obese pregnancy. This study aimed to assess this in severely obese pregnant women (body mass index ≥40 kg/m2 ) who completed a food frequency questionnaire at 28 weeks gestation f

Women's rights in Islam have remained a controversial subject for decades, partly contributed by misconceptions in translating the law into practical reality. In another dimension; many cultural practices commonly practised by Muslims; particularly in Muslim countries often reflect negative treatment towards women. Therefore, this chapter will

The haruan (Channa striatus) is an indigenous, predatory freshwater fish of Malaysia. It is a common food fish among the local populace with traditionally identified pharmacological benefits in treating wound and pain and in boosting energy of the sick. Channa striatus is also a subject of renewed interest in Malaysian folk medicine in the search f

Ulam or traditional vegetables in Malaysia comprise more than 120 species representing various families ranging from groundcovers, shrubs to trees. Ulam grow well and wild in the forest and forest fringes, in wastelands and wetlands, along streams and ditches, in paddy fields or in backyard gardens. The leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits, roots and rh

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H12Cl2N2OS, contains two crystallographically independent molecules with different conformations: the benzene ring and the thiourea fragment form dihedral angles of 74.32 (11) and 89.39 (11)°. One amino group in each molecule is involved in intramolecular N-HO and intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonding:
