Machining of Carbon Fibre Composites (CFCs) particularly drilling, is frequently employed in industry especially when dealing with joining, assembly and structural repair of the parts. However, the nature and heterogeneous structure of CFCs often results in rapid wear of the cutting tool. This research studied the relationship and compared the effe

Acrylamide is a toxic and probably carcinogenic compound and also neurotoxin in humans and animals that is formed naturally in certain foodstuffs, especially those rich in carbohydrate, during heat processing or cooking at high temperatures. This study was carried out to develop and validate the determination of acrylamide in fried snacks using gas

Environmental protection measures regarding industrial emissions and tightened regulations for air pollution led to the selection of a counter-flow wet scrubber system based on applicability and economic considerations. The flow dynamics of gas transporting particulate matter and gaseous contaminants is a key factor which should be considered in th

In this paper, the new modified Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is applied for analytical treatment of differential equations and integral equations. The new modified HPM yields an analytical solution in terms of a rapidly convergent infinite power series with easily computable terms. The efficiency of the new modified technique is examined by s

Rain fade slope has been measured in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia, located in heavy rain zone. The data were collected from MEASAT3 with elevation angle of 77.4 at a frequency of 10.982 GHz with several time interval lengths. The measured fade slope was compared to the ITU-R P.1623 model. Tendency of probability distribution model and measured data is dis

This paper is an attempt to survey the applications of computational intelligence techniques for predicting crude oil prices over a period of ten years. The purpose of this research is to provide an exhaustive overview of the existing literature which may assist prospective researchers. The reviewed literature covers a spectrum of publications on t

أصبح استخدام الحاسوب ضروريًّا في العمليَّة التَّعليميَّة، ومتطلبًا أساسيًّا في جودة التَّعليم، ولا يستطيع أحد أن ينكر دوره في تحقيق تعلم أكثر فعاليَّة. وفكرة هذا البحث تدور حول وضع تصوّر مقت�

This paper presents a conceptual framework for selection of data mining technique based on the 8 selection criteria’s: optimization capability, computation complexity, flexibility, interpretability, scalability, ease of problem encoding, autonomy, and accessibility. The framework is suitable for choosing appropriate technique for application in a

Introduction: Previous studies have proposed the lower waist circumference (WC) cutoffs be used for defining abdominal obesity in Asian populations. Objective: To determine the optimal cut-offs of waist circumference (WC) in predicting cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in the multi-ethnic Malaysian population. Methods: We analysed data from 32,703 r
