The history of medicine and the healing environment we promote today in healthcare design is not a new phenomenon. It has been a continuous effort through centuries by caregivers that recognizes environment as contributing factors to human wellbeing with or without scientific evidences, to provide appropriate environment under their care. It is an

This paper described the signal from the eye muscles that is called electrooculogram which is generated at different eye movement’s directions and levels. The eye movement signal data is captured by using Al/AgCl electrodes and passed through the g.USBamp from G.TEC Medical Engineering GMBH eye movement data collection. The eye movement data is p

Otoacoustic emission (OAE) suppression is an objective, and non-invasive clinical test that has been used to study the efferent central auditory nervous system pathways. This study was conducted to understand the pattern of OAE suppression if prolonged contralateral acoustic stimulation is given over different type of suppressor. The major aim of t

Research on rail passenger crowding often tacitly subscribes to a measurement of crowding based on density (i.e. physical conditions involving space limitations) and rarely considers the possible role psychological factors may play in measuring this construct. This paper describes the development of an instrument that captures the dimensionality of

The impact of commuting stress has been addressed by only a few studies, most of which have been conducted in developed countries. Far less research has looked at the subjective, psychological effects of commuting on employees’ wellbeing within the Malaysian context.

In this paper we present a real-time skin region detection method for high resolution video on embedded platforms. In the implementation, the region of interest is detected using two algorithms, running in parallel. One algorithm eliminates the background and the other one, detects the skin color patches in the image. To allow images to be processe

Mathematics is a branch of knowledge that becomes the building blocks for other areas of knowledge. For example, a simple calculation of the area of a square could become into something more serious such as calculating the number of bricks needed to build a wall, which is part of quantity surveying. Although students have been exposed to the calcul

Schizophyllum commune (SC) is an edible mushroom which can be found worldwide except Antactica area. This type of mushroom has attracted attention because of its medicinal important. Optimization of the media composition is required for the higher production of SC mycelium mass in order to meet the demand particularly in pharmaceutical industries.

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activities of four different parts of Malaysian Donax grandis. Dried fruit, root, leaf and stem powder of D. grandis was successively extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol using Soxhlet method. All extracts were screened for its antibacterial and antifungal activi
