The Intelligent Air-Cushion Tracked Vehicle (IACTV) is given focus as an alternative to conventional off-road vehicles, which are driven by track and air-cushion systems. To make the IACTV as effi cient as possible, proper investigation of the vehicle’s performance is essential. The most relevant factors that affect the competitive effi ciency of

An algorithm has been developed for the simultaneous measurement of the fetal and maternal heart rates from the maternal abdominal electrocardiogram during pregnancy and labor. The algorithm is based on digital filtering, adaptive thresholding, statistical properties in the time domain and differencing of local maxima and minima. The technique has

A sub-bituminous high sulphur Indonesian coal, namely Banjarmasin Hj. Ali-Aliansar (BMHA) has been treated with peroxyacetic acid, a mild oxidising agent at temperature of 70°C and at atmospheric pressure. Initial findings have shown that this reagent is capable of removing up to 60 % of the total sulphur in the coal. Almost all pyrite together wi

In pursuing application potential-based compounds,heteroatom donor ligands were specifically designed,synthesized and characterized with single-crystal X-ray diffraction that is a non-destructive analytical technique that provides very detailed information about theinternallatticeofcrystallinesubstancesofthesesynthesizd ligands.Dipotassium disulfan

This article examines the role of the Muslim majority states in the international system by looking at the features of and acheievements of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). The first section of the article presents a brief description of the international society from the perspective of Islam. The second secrion analyses the nature of

Field sampling was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of Pseudo-nitzschia Peragallo species in eight locations along the coast of Malaysian Borneo. A total of 108 strains of Pseudo-nitzschia species were isolated, and their morphology examined with SEM and TEM. Additionally, molecular data from nuclearencoded partial LSU rDNA, and ITS regions

This work describes the aerodynamic characteristic for aircraft wing model with and without bird feather like winglet. The aerofoil used to construct the whole structure is NACA 653-218 Rectangular wing and this aerofoil has been used to compare the result with previous research using winglet. The model of the rectangular wing with bird feather lik

The rapidly expanding urban areas of the world constitute an environmental challenge for the 21st century that requires both new analytic approaches and new sources of data and information in micro and macro level. Management of land use sprawl in urban area especially in developing countries using GIS and Remote sensing tools still in vague althou

Urban sprawl is one of the contemporary issues of cities all over the world nowadays, contributes to the inefficient use of land resources, energy and large scale absorption of open space that can otherwise be used more effectively for a land use development activities. It is refers to a specific form of urban development characterized by low-densi

Rapid urbanization strains a country’s capacity to meet new urban developments, and the consequences brought serious losses of arable land, forest, transforming the spatial pattern of urban land uses worldwide and polluting water bodies. Urban expansions have not only increased the exploitation of natural resources but it has also changed the lan
