Hybrid jute-carbon/ epoxy composites, fabricated by hand lay-up method with fiber volume fractions of 0.47, 0.58 and 0.68 were used to investigate water absorption behavior as a function of immersion time and fiber content. The effect of moisture content on impact strength and failure modes was also studied. Results show that the moisture absorptio

In this study, the development of Cardioid based graph photoplethysmogram heart abnormality detection technique is presented. PPG signals in this work were collected from an online public repository called MIMIC II Waveform Database, Version 3 Part 1 with sampling rate of 250 Hz. Each recording has one minute of PPG signals. Distinctive features we

In this study, photoplethysmogram (PPG) based heart abnormality detection method was proposed. PPG signals utilized were obtained from MIMIC II Waveform Database, Version 3 Part 1 with sampling frequency of 250 Hz with the duration of 10 seconds each. The feature of the PPG signals were then extracted using MATLAB and the distances between successi

Background Transtheoretical Model of change has been used successfully in promoting behaviour change. Objective To examine the relationships between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores with the stages of change of adequate physical activity and fruit and vegetables intake. Design This was a cross-sectional study conducted among employees

The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research chall

The use of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EEA) on researches based on certain theoretical frame-works in both social sciences and education cannot be over-emphasized, as such this study employed the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in an attempt to validates the mathematical values inculcation measurement model developed and used in the western cult

Universities are the important place for learning and sharing information internally or externally where the knowledge management (KM) implementation will give sustainable competitive advantage, achieving substantial savings, improve significant performance and establish the long-term existence among the others. The International Islamic University

Catechin-rich oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) leaf extract (OPLE) possesses good ex vivo vasodilation,antioxidant and cardiovascular properties. This study evaluated the beneficial or toxic effects of OPLE on the liver and kidneys of normal and hypertensive rats. The OPLE (500 mg/kg body weight) were administered orally to normal Wistar Kyoto rats, sp

The probiotic (Protexin)® increases the growth rate in broilers. It must interfere with the intestinal cell morphology and absorption. The intestinal epithelium is one of the most rapidly renewed tissues in the body and is renewed by a process of continuous cell division. This study was carried out with an aim to establish a link between the use o

The modal analysis of piping system in air conditioner (AC) outdoor unit is essential to investigate the vibration properties of the system. In view of the growing significance of numerical finite element (FE) model for vibration behaviour prediction, the AC piping elastic end support characterization has been explored. The axial and radial stiffne
