In this work, a Figure-9 (F9) bismuth-doped fiber laser (BiDFL) operating in the dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) regime is presented. The 1338 nm laser used a BiDF as the active gain medium, while a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) in an F9 configuration was employed to obtain high energy mode-locked pulses. The wave breaking-free rectan

Penterjemahan metafora sering dikira sebagai salah satu masalah ketidakbolehan menterjemah. Hal ini kerana metafora umumnya terkait dengan sesuatu secara tidak langsung. Oleh yang demikian ia rumit dan sukar diterjemah. Metafora juga dipengaruhi oleh budaya. Maka, penterjemah harus teliti dalam penterjemahan metafora. Justeru, kajian ini menfokuska

This research investigates the factors during manufacturing process that affect the existence of pinholes in surgical gloves. The effects of eight variables on the number of pinholes were identified to determine the optimal condition to reduce the defects. Since there are multiple variables, a two-level fractional factorial design 28-4 were used to

knowledge sharing communities like Wikipedia and automated extraction like DBpedia enable a large construction of machine processing knowledge bases with relational fact of entities. These options give a great opportunity for researcher to use it as a domain concept between low-level features and high level concepts for image retrieval. The collect

Ontology based retrieval is gaining popularity due to the limitation posed by the conventional bag-of-words retrieval system. To semantically search for images, textual descriptions are usually used since low level features provide little meaningful information. As such conventional searching and retrieving of images are currently being employed. C
