This work aims at achieving an optimized vehicle front-end profile for improved protection for both adult and child pedestrian groups. A seven parameter simplified vehicle front end model is used in which the Central Composite Design(CCD) is utilized to generate a Plan of Experiments for the adult and child pedestrian cases each. Head Injury Criter

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) or Laser Sintering (LS) allows functional parts to be produced in a wide range of powdered materials using a dedicated machine, and is thus gaining popularity within the field of Rapid Prototyping (RP). One of the advantages of employing LS is that the loose powder of the building chamber can be recycled. The propert

Oxygen consumption is very important starting from inside mother’s womb and throughout life. Decrease of oxygen intake is disadvantageous to our body. Common symptoms from the mildest are drowsiness, blurred vision, headache, increase of blood pressure, and the worst are unconsciousness to death. The integrated orofacial massage is a new inventio

Coastal waters are the ultimate receivers of the organic waste materials generated by upstream cities and towns. This waste can cause dissolved oxygen depletion due to increased oxygen demand, affecting the natural ability of water bodies to withstand certain amount of pollution - the Waste Assimilative Capacity. The pollution load (Biochemical Oxy

Introduction: Total femur endoprosthesis is an alternative reconstruction option following resection for massive malignant bone tumour with intramedullary extension or skip lesions. Methodology: We reviewed cases with primary bone tumours underwent total femur resection and replacement with megaprosthesis at our centre for the past 15 years. Result

This article articulates the hypothesis that people do not perceive health as a single dimensional phenomenon of a physical absence of disease. In contrast, health can be determined by multi-dimensional factors that include people’s lifestyle, their perception of health and illness, and their health-seeking behaviour. By exploring available liter

This study proposes a method of achieving an optimised vehicle front-end profile for improved protection for both adult and child pedestrian groups, which at the same time is able to avoid designs that may cause Run-over scenarios. A hybrid model of a seven-parameter vehicle front-end geometry and a pedestrian dummy is used. Latin Hypercube samplin

The monsoon-dominated Mandovi estuary is located in Goa state – a global tourist destination along the centralwest coast of India. In addition to factor analyses of water quality data, the water quality index (WQI), trophic state index (TSI) and percentage of freshwater volume in the estuary are calculated in order to infer the general waste assi

Objective of the study is to look at the efficiency of Malaysia in terms of its effectiveness in achieving the national policies on higher education as stipulated by a blueprint called Pelan Strategik Pengajian Tinggi Negara (PSPTN or National Higher Education Strategic Plan, NHESP). Accordingly, 9 variables have been selected in such a way that th

In the process of learning a second language, it is suggested that there is a standard developmental trajectory of every linguistic feature that L2 learners follow. Although L2 learners experience common stages in their process of acquisition, the rate of attainment in the process is different. In Malaysian ESL context, the local students at the te
