A charge controller that includes an input interface that receives input DC electrical signals. A converter section converts the input DC electrical signals to output DC electrical signals. Control means is operably coupled to the converter section. The control means includes means for operating the converter section at an estimated maximum power p

Human beings, unlike other biological species, had always and still have the universal desire or instinct of improving quality of life. This inherent instinct has caused previously unimagined explosion of amenities of life, change in life style, improvement of standard of living and resulted sharp growth of global population and life expectancy. Be

In this research, an experimental investigation was carried out at the International Islamic University Malaysia - Low Speed Wind Tunnel facility on a generic model of a hybrid lifting hull. Based on the historical trends of non-rigid airships, the fineness ratio of the said hull has been selected equal to 4. Free stream velocity was kept at 20 mâˆ

There seem to be a lot of robots that have been built up until today. Basically, the creation of robot is supposed to be a helper for a human. Robot will replace human whenever the task is really difficult or dangerous to be done by human. Recently, the robots that have been created were made reconfigurable. The purpose is to make the robot to func

As many of the high-end functions and services have been increasingly supported by the expansion of information technology (IT), it has become salient to explore any factor that may make individuals more prone to use it. When it comes to the user, technological and contextual features, there may be quite a difference in settings that are profession

This study investigates Human Sciences (HS) students’ acceptance of IIUM.FM, their newly established online campus radio, by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical background. An external variable, knowledge, was added to the original model. The objectives of this study are to (1) find out the patterns of listening among stude

This study investigates Human Sciences (HS) students’ acceptance of IIUM.FM, their newly established online campus radio, by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical background. An external variable, knowledge, was added to the original model. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to gather data through a self-administere

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a frequently encountered clinical condition in children. Based on DSM IV-TR criteria it can be sub-classified into three distinct types namely hyperactiveimpulsive, inattentive and combined. Materials and Methods: In the present study, salivary antioxidant activity (AOA) in children w

We describe a patient with empyema thoracis that had eroded through the apical chest wall to the supraclavicular fossa and lung parenchyma, ultimately leading to a bronchopleural fistula manifesting as lobulated, localized subcutaneous emphysematous swellings over the chest wall and supraclavicular fossa. This is a rarely reported phenomenon and th

In this paper, the tool life and tool wear performance of PCBN tool in end milling of AISI D2 hardened steel under room and preheated machining conditions is presented. The tool life and tool wear patterns were examined through tool maker microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the dominant modes of tool wear observed wer
