The objective of this paper is to introduce with a quaternion orientation based quadrotor that can be controlled by Model Predictive Control (MPC). As MPC offers promising performance in different industrial applications, quadrotor can be another suitable platform for the application of MPC. The present study consistently adopts unit quaternion app

Immobilization of palladium nanoparticles onto the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as support Pd/FTO, resulted in a highly active heterogeneous catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and 4-nitrophenol reduction. The Pd/FTO catalyst has been synthesized by immobilization of palladium nanoparticles onto FTO via a simple impregnation meth

This study expands a previous qualitative investigation of students’ experience of existing entities in higher education institutions (HEIs) of Malaysia. We specifically investigated how the experience impacted students’ loyalty which eventually drove them to return to the same university for further studies. The Structural Equation Model with

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer and has an excellent strength, however its inherent brittleness and low impact resistance has limited its application. One of the potential alternatives for enhancing the weakness of PLA is by blending it with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) which possesses several attractive properties such as high

Due to the many applications of micropolar fluid such as blood, paint, body fluid, polymers, colloidal fluid and suspension fluid, it has become a prominent subject among the researchers. However, the characteristics of micropolar fluid flow over a surface of another quiescent fluid with heavier density of micropolar fluid under the effect of const

Several structural and non-structural measures and approaches have been implemented by the Malaysian government in order to overcome and alleviate the flood disaster. To date, Education, Partnership and Research have been identified as crucial components in forming an effective Flood Management system in Malaysia. This argument has been supported b

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) and functional status among older people in Kuantan, Pahang. Method: A cross sectional design was employed in this study. A total of 300 respondents were selected by convenience sampling method from Endocrine Clinics HTAA and

Abstract: Dietary polyphenols exist in two forms; extractable polyphenols (EPP) or compounds solubilised by aqueous/organic solvents, and non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) or compounds remain in the corresponding residues after the extraction. At present, most researchers focus on EEP fractions, while NEPP is neglected. Thus, this study aimed to r

Background and objectives: The initiation of apoptotic death in cancer cells is the aim of many chemotherapeutic strategies. As many anticancer agents have been discovered in natural plant sources, the search for novel phytochemicals displaying anticancer activities continues at a tremendous rate. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
