This paper presents a novel approach of modeling human driving behavior in a more realistic way that can be effectively utilized in realizing intelligent transportation systems to ensure efficient, safe, secure and human-friendly vehicle control and transportations. A number of supporting systems based on individual driving behavior are identified.

Currently available various steady state and unsteady state (transient) methods for the measurement of thermal properties of food substances are limited and have several limitations. Modern research is in process of developing a device which is able to overcome these limitations. In this project a new device for measurement of thermal diffusivity w

The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of liberalization of retail sector via the presence of foreign hypermarkets in Malaysia on local retailers. Both quantitative and qualitative methods (survey and interviews) were used to collect and analyze the data. A total of 135 questionnaires were completed. The findings from the

This article conceptualized the framework of the possible impact of using different levels of technology on the roles and responsibilities of instructors in institutions of higher learning. Based on the literature reviewed, there is an indication that employees who use different types of technology in performing their tasks experience different deg

The rapid population growth in different parts of the world, especially in developing countries, necessitates invention of an alternative protein-rich food source, which is an important dietary component. Agricultural wastes and cheap carbon and high energy sources, for example wheat flour, can be used for producing the value-added bioprotein. A la

There are high demands for animal and human food supply especially protein, which is an important dietary component. Agricultural wastes, cheap carbon sources- which are rich and have high energy, can be used for producing the value added bioprotein. A lab scale study was carried out to optimize the media composition for bioprotein production from

The safety and the health of society can be affected by the presence of high concentration of environmental contaminants such as copper ion in wastewater. However, it was found that nanotechnology have shown remarkable results in the removal of the contaminants concentration from water by using nanomaterials. Thus, this study was carried out to eva

The problem of estimating the parameters of transient signals consisting of real decay constants has for long been a subject of study by many researchers. Such signals arise in many problems in Science and Engineering like nuclear magnetic resonance for medical diagnosis, deep-level transient spectroscopy, fluorescence decay analysis, etc. Many tec

Noise reduction in deconvolution process has been a challenge to researchers in the field of signal processing. The problem is ill-posed and various algorithms have been developed to reduce noise enhancement. The effect of using multiple noise-compensating parameters in the deconvolution of multiexponential signals is considered in this paper. Thre

Screening study was done to obtain the most potential substrate from agricultural wastes such as pineapple, honeydew and durian skins as main carbon source for bioprotein production utilizing potential strain of P. chrysosporium (PC 13) by liquid state bioconversion. In this study, two different media conditions have been used for selected substrat
