Fiber based optical sensors have been widely used in many industries today to detect parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibrations, concentrations and many more. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) is well known for its compact structure and small size which are advantageous for sensing purposes. In this project, an MZI with a singlemode-mul

Dealing with consultations and appointments can be problematic if one of the parties does not commit to the appointment without any prior notice. Without any confirmation, whether he/she is in the office or not, students and other staff members may be indirectly affected with regards to their time management. Difficulty in determining this also aff

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a major global health concern worldwide. The fact that it is a lifelong chronic illness contributes to the increasing tendency of seeking traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM), yet study regarding this remains limited. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of T&CM use among diabetic patients a

In this new age of technological advancement, the usage of vibration for harvesters to provide electrical power for devices can be optimized with the implementation of an energy storing system. This research investigates how a dual-energy harvester that consists of piezoelectric and electromagnetic assembly could store the energy it produced so it

The halal food industry is founded based on the concept of Halalan Toyyiban (HT), as commanded in the Qur’an. However, as reflected in the current halal standards, requirements, and practices, the current approach of HT may overlook some components that are supposed to be an integral part of the concept. This article utilises the modern food syst

This document is one of a number of specialty modules that form the Malaysian National Postgraduate Medical curriculum. It represents the collaboration between the Malaysian Public Universities and the Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide a single, agreed programme for the training of psychiatrists throughout the country. Universities and Ministry o

A general search is presented for a low-mass τ−τ+ resonance produced in association with a bottom quark. The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The data are consistent with the standard model ex

A search is presented for a heavy spin-1 resonance Z decaying to a top quark and a vector-like top quark partner T in the lepton + jets final state. The search is performed using a data set of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 as recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

A search is presented for excited electrons and muons in ``γ final states at the LHC. The search is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector in 2016. This is the first search for excited leptons at √ s = 13 TeV

K-nearest neighbors (KNN) has been extensively used as imputation algorithm to substitute missing data with plausible values. One of the successes of KNN imputation is the ability to measure the missing data simulated from its nearest neighbors robustly. However, despite the favorable points, KNN still imposes undesirable circumstances. KNN suffers
