Prompt treatment of patients is important to prevent the spread of infection, especially because it has become resistant to multiple antibiotics including methicillin (thus Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus au

This paper highlights the potential of using prosthetic devices to sense surface textures; an important characteristic of a lower arm that is often neglected. An artificial finger equipped with a piezoelectric sensor, mounted on a fingertip, has been designed to detect surface textures of different dimensions. Signal frequencies generated during th

The high demand of seaweed for their polysaccharide namely carrageenan leads to the commercial production of carrageenophytes through mariculture. Based on literatures it is well documented that growth rate and carrageenan yield depend on environmental factors such as salinity, pH, temperatures, light intensity and water movement. In this study, gr

A Watson-Crick Petri net is an extension of a Watson-Crick automaton where the control by finite automaton is replaced by a Petri net. By adapting the different types of Petri nets, various variants of Watson-Crick Petri nets and Watson-Crick Petri net controlled grammars such as reverse Watson-Crick Petri net and many more can be defined. In this

This investigation deals with the effect of temperature on the optical and morphological properties of Zinc Oxide thin films prepared by radio-Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. In the present work, zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates from 50°C to 300°C by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The effec

Hydrogen has been recognized as one of the potential alternative energy sources which can be used for many different purposes. It can be produced from microbial cultivation with waste organic materials. However, the amount of biohydrogen produced is still at an unsatisfactorily level. Besides, raw material cost is another concern for making the who
