An increasing safety and reducing road accidents, thereby saving lives are one of great interest in the context of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Apparently, among the complex and challenging tasks of future road vehicles is road lane detection or road boundaries detection. It is based on lane detection (which includes the localization of the

script are at an early stage compared to their equivalent for the recognition of Latin and Chinese. In this paper, different approaches used for handwritten Arabic word recognition were reviewed. An introduction to the Arabic script is given, followed by a description of algorithms for the process involved: segmentation, feature extraction, classif

Vehicles handling and ride comfort are essential subject because these vehicles operate at different environments. Improving the comfort ability enables the drivers to derive for a long time at critical situations with full activity. This paper deals with dynamics and control policies analysis of semi-active suspension systems for off-road vehicles

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as new substrate for the production of citric acid through solid state bioconversion (SSB) in laboratory scale by Aspergillus niger. The experiment was carried out to observe the productivity of citric acid with treated and non-treated EFB

One of the commercial cell line that gained attention for the study of viral vaccine was an immortalized cell line derived from chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells. Unlike CEF cells, DF-1 cells have higher proliferation rate and also can be subcultured infinite number of times. In this study, the growth profile of DF-1 cell line was investigated

Honey dressing has been used to promote wound healing for years but scanty scientific studies did not provide enough evidences to justify it benefits in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. We conducted a prospective study to compare the effect of honey dressing for Wagner's grade-II diabetic foot ulcers with controlled dressing group (povido

Purpose – When genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were put into the international trade, people in many countries, especially European countries, became skeptical of them. A perception developed that they are harmful to human, animal, plant life and health, and destructive to the environment. It is true that if there is no safe use of genetica

The traditional use of papaya to treat many diseases, especially skin conditions and its prohibition for consumption during pregnancy has prompted us to determine whether papaya extracts both from green and ripe fruits improve wound healing and also produce foetal toxicity. Aqueous extracts of green papaya epicarp (GPE) and ripe papaya epicarp (RPE

Hybrid composite of thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) reinforced with Hibiscus cannabinus, L fiber (kenaf fiber: KF) and short glass fiber (GF) were prepared via melt blending method using internal mixer, at various temperatures, speed and time. TPNR matrix is a blend of polypropylene (PP), liquid natural rubber (LNR) and natural rubber (NR) at a

This study investigates whether the town planning system can and should make a substantial contribution to coastal management by conducting primary research that focuses on the application of theory on practice. Perspectives of Malaysian town planners were viewed by carrying out questionnaire survey for data collection. Coastal management requires
