Pedestrian movements in crowd motion can be perceived in terms of agents who basically exhibit patient or impatient behavior. We model crowd motion subject to exit congestion under uncertainty conditions in a continuous space and compare the proposed model via simulations with the classical social force model. During a typical emergency evacuation

A research study on boundary layer flow of a dusty viscous fluid past a stretching sheet of another dusty viscous quiescent fluid is conducted. The upper lighter fluid imposes downward on a lower heavier fluid. The existence of solid particles in a dusty fluid either naturally or deliberately in the form of dust, ash or soot suspended in the fluid

The aim of this study is to compare different robust regression methods in three main models of multiple linear regression and weighting multiple linear regression. An algorithm for weighting multiple linear regression by standard deviation and variance for combining different robust method is given in SAS along with an application.Journal of M ode

The effects of alkali treatment on the mechanical properties, void contents and morphological of Pennisetum purpureum/glass-reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were studied. The composites were produced using the vacuum infusion method. Pennisetum purpureum fibres were treated with 5 and 10% dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for 6 h. The epoxy

The study carried out in this report proposes the best keypoint detection, description, and pose estimation algorithm combination for Quranic Arabic words. Oriented-FAST Rotated-BRIEF (ORB) and Accelerated-KAZE (AKAZE) are used as the keypoint detection and description algorithms while Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) and Least Median Squares (LMED

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the implementation of ‘Islamic built environment’ (IBE) concept in public open spaces in Malaysia. Granting the development of IBE must be the basis in every concept of national development in Malaysia. Thus, this research believes that the adaptation of true Islamic concept is the very crucial in p

The aimed of this study is to evaluate the potential effect of orthopaedic metal implant (plate) coated with silver composite in in vivo experiment setting using rabbit as animal model. Our hypothesis was that orthopaedic implant coated with silver would exert both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against certain microorganisms.With the appr

The objective of this study was to induce open tibial fracture in New Zealand White Rabbit model via exposing the fracture site for six hours. Our hypothesis was that infection would be induced when the underlying bone is exposing for six hours. In this research, we performed open tibial fracture via anterolateral approach by exposing the underlyin

This study explicates the relationship between media and citizenship through the experiences of the Malaysian bloggers. The theoretical idea of Citizen’s Media explains and makes sense of this relationship. The areas of focus are: (1) the blogging experience, (2) the types of blog, and (3) representation of citizenship. A purposive sample of 30 M

This study looks at women’s religious conviction as a form of political agency that can be both resistant and submissive. The narratives of the women in this study showed that women can be political within religious submission. These women who had been conditioned by the religious and political culture to accept and adopt a secondary role to men
