This paper provides a comparative study on the performances of standard PID and adaptive PID controllers tested on travel angle of a 3-Degree-of-Freedom (3-DOF) Quanser bench-top helicopter. Quanser, a well-known manufacturer of educational bench-top helicopter has developed Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) controller with Linear Quadratic

Nutrient pollution of aquatic environment through disposal of industrial and domestic wastewater poses serious problems for reusing surface water and aquatic life. This study reports the feasibility and kinetics of Chlorella vulgaris in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) for protection of surface wa

Background: Leukemia is one of the common cancers worldwide. Although the treatment options available for most type of cancers, but some of them remain incurable and the re-occurrence of disease is also common in many patients. Furthermore, modern therapy also leads to many side effects. All of these lead us to study on the possible anticancer acti

In modern cars, there are a number of controllers that play a major role in the overall operations of the vehicles. The secure and updated firmware of these controllers is crucial to the overall security and reliability of the vehicle and its electronic system(s). Therefore, the life cycle of these controllers should be carefully managed. In this p

The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has been committed to the integration of Islamic values with the modern fields of knowledge. This study attempts to investigate academics‟ perceptions of Islamization of Knowledge (IOK), examine their practices of integration in the IIUM curriculum and establish indicators to measure the integr

This paper presents a design of portable heart rate monitoring system which is part of a project called Home-smart Clinic. Home-smart Clinic is developed in order to connect medical personnel and patients remotely. Remote health monitoring system is beneficial to the patients and society where the implementation of such system will save hospital bi

This paper presenting a study on hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), using backward facing approach simulation or QSS approach and fuzzy logic power management controller for HEV. The software being used for modelling of HEV and fuzzy logic power management controller is MATLAB/Simulink. A comparison study was completed to investigate fuzzy logic power

Coating possesses superior wear resistance which makes the material suitable for components subjected to dynamic applications under sever wearing condition and high temperature applications. In this study, TiC coating layer was synthesized by preplacing a 1 mg/mm2 of fine size (~40 μm) TiC powder on the surface of AISI 4340 steel. The composite la

This paper presents the effect of electron beam radiation on water absorption of kenaf-glass (KG) mat reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) hybrid composite which has been compounded using sheet molding compound (SMC) process. Hybrid synthetic and natural fiber composite materials are attractive structural materials because of natural fibers resou
