Purpose – The aim of this paper is to investigate hydraulic system performance using vegetable-based palm oil as hydraulic fluid. Design/methodology/approach – The hydraulic system performance test at different operating conditions, such as pressure, speed and oil ageing, was performed using a Yuken vane pump test rig. The endurance system perf

The field of digital watermarking has recently seen vast interests covering theoretical studies, novel techniques, attacks and analysis. This is due to the fact that over the last 15 years, the watermarking community has focused on developing and introducing new techniques for watermark embedding and detection. Analysis of these techniques leads to

Fuzzy logic enables designers to control complex systems more effectively than traditional approaches as it provides a simple way to arrive at a definite conclusion upon ambiguous, imprecise or noisy information. In this paper, we describe the development of two miniature LEGO robots, which are the line following and the light searching mobile robo

This information offers new opportunities for input into the urban spatial data infrastructure of many global cities, apart from also able to provide spectral information that when processed accordingl

Information system success continues to be the subject of interest among IS researchers. The literature nevertheless offers limited understanding in regard organizational factors influencing IS success particularly in the public sector organizations. Using perceptual measures, this study aims to investigate the influence of organizational factors o

This study attempts to reconstruct Western critical pedagogy from an Islamic perspective and to explore its contribution to the resolution of the crisis in the Muslim mind and Islamic education. It analyses the underlying assumptions behind critical theory, compares it with the Islamic philosophy of education, and with the Islamization of Knowledge

The paper describes the research and development of a virtual project based on the visualisation of measured architectural and construction details and extended research into a heritage building i.e. a 16th century Islamic complex undertaken as part of an architectural curriculum subject entitled ‘Heritage studies’. The modelling was focused on
