A model reference adaptive control and a fixed gain LQR control were implemented in the height controller of a quadrotor that has parametric uncertainties due to the act of picking up an object of unknown dimension and mass. It is shown that an adaptive controller, unlike the fixed gain controller, is capable of ensuring a stable tracking performan

Subcontracting is a long-established practice in the construction industry to capitalize on the skills of trade specialists and to cope with the fluctuating construction demand. The main contractors relying so much on subcontractors to perform portion of works in construction projects that their performance may have significant effects to the overa

Extract of Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) is a lipophilic substance with low solubility in aqueous solution. As this may compromise its handling, bioavailability, and bio-absorption, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion is formulated. Briefly, dried flower buds of cloves were grounded into a fine dry powder and macerated in absolute ethanol solvent for 48 h du

The polyamine biosynthesis is a ubiquitous pathway with a significant role in cell growth , both normal and malignant. As polyamines are crucial in cellular growth and differentiation, they are linked to the development of cancer, with higher polyamine level observed in cancerous cells than in healthy cells. Accordingly, suppressing the polyamine p

Background Many tumors undergo dysregulation of polyamine homeostasis and up-regulation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, which can promote carcinogenesis. The polyamine conjugate has shown promising chemopreventive activity against a range of human tumor cell types, but little is known about the effect of this agent on leukemic cell lines

The recent surge in multidrug-resistant pathogens combined with the diminishing antibiotic pipeline has created a growing need to optimize the use of our existing antibiotic armamentarium, particularly in the management of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Optimal and timely pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment has been assoc

This study examined the effectiveness of using website in learning Arabic language for the purpose of tourism at the Department of General Studies at the College of Poly-Tech MARA, Kelantan Darul Naim. Descriptive study is used to describe briefly about the Arabic Language for Specific Purposes and analyze the effectiveness of website as a main too

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate students’ collocational competence by examining the relationship between the knowledge of lexical collocation among them. The respondents were 30 students of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). A lexical collocation test (LCT) was constructed to gauge the knowledge of collocation, while a speaking proficien

Polyamine is a group of aliphatic amine that is necessary for cell growth and development. However, potential of developing cancer is enhanced with the increase of polyamine levels in the body. Since polyamines can be obtained through diet intake, it is essential for cancer patients to consume foods that have low level of polyamines. Therefore, thi

EEG data contamination due to artifacts, such as eye blink, muscle activity, body movement and others pose as an issue in EEG analysis. This study aims to classify three different types of artifacts in EEG signal, namely; ocular, facial muscle and hand movement using statistical features coupled with neural networks as classifier. Temporal averages
