The growing demand of wireless sensor networks has created the necessity of miniature, portable, long lasting and easily recharged sources of power. Traditional, hazardous batteries are rendered unacceptable and the viability of ‘green’ MEMS energy harvesters has become even more dominant. This paper reviews the state-of-theart MEMS piezoelectr

A Driver's behavior is a major factor that contributes to the high accidents rates. However, if we are able to identify their behavior, it may be possible for us to detect driving idiosyncrasies that may prevent accidents. Therefore, this paper presents some simple and effective methods for an in-car data acquisition in collecting real time dri

The experiments were carried out to assess the effect of Mach number on base pressure and control effectiveness in a suddenly expanded duct. In the present study the Mach number at the nozzle exit and the nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) are the flow parameters considered. The area ratio (i.e. ratio between cross sectional area of the sudden expansion d

The growing demand of portable electronic devices has created the demand of long lasting recharged source of power. Non-environmental friendly conventional batteries with limited lifetimes are no longer a feasible option. This paper proposes a piezoelectric, vibration based energy harvester. The design and simulation of a MEMS piezoelectric cantile

Massive haemoptysis is the most dreaded of all respiratory emergencies. Bronchial artery embolisation is known to be a safe and effective procedure in massive haemoptysis. Bronchial artery of anomalous origin presents a diagnostic challenge to interventional radiologists searching for the source of haemorrhage. Here, we report a case of massive hae

Energy harvesting devices, capable of converting wasted ambient energy to electrical power are rapidly gaining popularity as a source of green and renewable energy. This work presents the design and simulation of MEMS based piezoelectric cantilever beam which can both harvest energy as well as monitor critical vibration frequencies in power plant g

تعد لوحات المفاتيح من وسائل الإدخال الأساسية لأجهزة الحاسوب الشخصية وأجهزة الهواتف النقالة. ومع ذلك، لم تعد لوحات المفاتيح الطريقة الوحيدة لإدخال البيانات إلى أجهزة الحاسوب والهواتف لعدة أس�

The aims of this study were to identify the retrieval features for online databases; difficulties faced by users; and retrieval features expected by users. A total of 25 databases were surveyed and 40 users were interviewed after the training sessions. Common retrieval features included Boolean operators,phrase searching, match of exact words or ph

This research aims to design 5R character-based halal industry players (Ringkas, Rapi, Resik, Rawat, Rajin) or 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), as well as their debriefing for UNY and IIUM students in supporting the Halal industry related to Good Aquaculture Practices. This area has been selected, due to some factors. The first

High-intensity rainfall has been recognized as the main factor of the landslide events in Cameron Highlands. Locating at an abrupt altitude with high intensity rainfall annually caused many attempts of slope failures in this area. This catastrophe weakens the socio-economy and situates the people of Cameron Highlands in difficulty since they lost t
