This paper presents a disturbance decoupled fault reconstruction (DDFR) scheme using two sliding mode observers in cascade. Measurable signals from the first observer are found to be the output of a fictitious system that is driven by the fault and disturbances. Then the signals are fed into a second observer which will reconstruct the fault. Suffi

In order to attain a higher sugar yield, a study was carried out to investigate the effect of main factors of the hydrolysis process, namely, amount of subs

The technology, where the ground was used as a heat sink to produce cooler air, has been an area of interest in Malaysia even before National Green Technology Policy was launched in 2009.

Massive haemoptysis can occur in lung abscess. Massive haemoptysis itself may be life threatening due to asphyxiation or respiratory failure secondary to acute large airway obstruction by blood clots. Prompt removal of the obstructing blood clots save life. We describe a case of lung abscess causing massive haemoptysis resulting in acute airway obs

Heritage building is very important in preserving the culture and to the tourism potential. Hence, the proper budget allocation to the prevention of fire loss is critical.

Two 4-methoxybenzoylthiourea of propionic acid namely 2-[3-(4- Two 4-methoxybenzoylthiourea of propionic acid namely 2-[3-(4-methoxybenzoyl)thioureido]phenylpropionic acid (I) and 2-[3-(4-methoxybenzoyl) thioureido]-3-(1H-indole-3-yl)propionic acid (II) have been successfully synthesized. The compounds were analyzed and characterized by elemental a

Banking performance has been regarded as a crucial factor of economic growth. Banks collect deposits from surplus and provide loans to the investors that contribute to the total economic growth. Recent development in the banking industry is channelling the funds and participating in economic activities directly. Hence, academic researchers are grad
