Piezoelectric material has the ability to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa, making it suitable for use as an actuator and sensor. When used as a controller in sensor mode, the piezoelectric transducer is connected to an external electrical circuit where the converted electrical energy will be dissipated through Joule he

Spectrum congestion in frequencies below 10 GHz is pushing satellite network operators to migrate to higher bands. Nonetheless, availability and system performance can be seriously degraded at higher frequency bands when the operating link experiences severe rainfall intensity. A study has been carried out to investigate the different consequences

Layer-by-layer buildup of material is utilized in the process known as additive manufacturing (AM) to produce prototypes or end products. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the most commonly used AM processes. For FDM, the extruder’s nozzle plays a significant role as it is responsible for creating the build of material layer by layer. Th

The train is one of the main transportations to move or transfer loads, including people and goods from one place to another on wheeled vehicles running on a railways track. Since, the railways were exposed to extreme conditions, the purpose of the design structure for the railways is to overcome the circumstances. Furthermore, the same train runni

Food packaging is held in place on conveyor belts inside custom-made holders to facilitate their filling and sealing. But fabricating holders for every kind of food packaging can be very expensive. Now, IIUM scientists have collaborated with food manufacturing company Organic Gain Sdn Bhd to develop a diverse range of food holders using 3D printing

Managers are expected to make data-driven decisions instead of simply making a decision based on general observations or intuition. In this regard, regression analysis is one of the data analysis techniques that guides managers in forecasting and optimising decision-making. Further, advanced statistical techniques in the research studies of any aca

Purpose This study investigates the relationship between economic growth, international trade, and environmental degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), focusing on the validity of the environmental Kuznets hypothesis (EKC), the pollution havens hypothesis (PHH), and the factor endowment hypothesis (FEH). Design/methodology/approach The study uses

Objectives Dental anxiety is ultimately related to the fear of pain, more evidently seen in surgical dental procedures. This study aimed at comparing the stress parameter differences between patients undergoing minor oral surgery (MOS) with their eyes covered (closed) versus uncovered (open) at our center. Materials and Methods Twenty-three MOS pat

Electronic resources (e-resources) are one of the essential tools for scholars related to the easiness, readability, affordability, and accessibility of the literature type. However, many scholars are accustomed to physical literature rather than electronic one. Thus, it may affect their academic work productivity. This study aims to predict factor
