Piezoelectric materials produce charges when subjected to dynamic strain. These materials can be used to capture and store vibration energy and then used to power up small devices. This paper presents analytical estimation of voltage production of piezoelectric cantilever beam when subjected to base excitation with and without attaching proof masse

The focus of this work is the mechanical characterization of biomaterials produced by 3D printing based on fused filament fabrication (FFF) process that has been mainly used for prototype rather than functional components due to the limited mechanical properties of pure thermoplastics parts. Addition of reinforcements from natural fiber has been ad

The effect of internal diffusion on the overall reaction rate in a biocatalyst having slab geometry containing an immobilized enzyme or cells have been investigated theoretically. Zero-order, first-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics were studied. The exact solutions for zero-order and first- order reactions were studied to verify our numerical alg

Tourists are more likely to seek hotel and resort reviews before making a reservation. However, the advertised products are sometimes not in accordance with their actual staying experience. Experience is conceptualized as a combination of senses, influence, and cognition. This research aims to find out the sensory experience by the Resort’s guest

Penyakit asma adalah penyakit keradangan paru-paru yang kronik. Ia merangkumi sejarah gejala- gejala pernafasan seperti bunyi berdehit (wheezing), kesukaran bernafas, sesak dada dan batuk. Sekiranya ada gejala-gejala tersebut, doktor akan menjalankan ujian lanjutan yang dipanggil spirometry untuk mengesahkan diagnosis penyakit asma. Pemeriksaan ini

This paper discusses the issues and challenges associated with conducting systematic reviews using the existing guidelines (e.g. the Cochrane and Campbell systematic reviews). While these guidelines are appropriate for reviews involving predefined study criteria with fixed procedures and techniques or concerning assessment of effect sizes in establ

While it is officially accepted as a main feature of Malaysian society, multiculturalism’s ideological aims of recognizing, celebrating and maintaining cultural identities in order to promote and encourage social cohesion and unity have, nonetheless, often been limited by resistance against extending equitable status to the distinct cultural, rel

The presentation provide an overview of hospital planning and design to with emphasis on the need to integrate design aesthetics to clinical settings. Case studies of hospitals in the country and abroad are potrayed in the lecture.INTEGRATING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TO THE CLINICAL AREAS OF A HOSPITAL Presented by Assoc. Prof. Ar. Datin Norwina Mohd N

The question of aesthetic is an age long enigma in many societies with various conceptions and perceptions through philosophers of yore till the present day. Beauty, as part of aesthetics, carries along its intonation in more that just physical expressions but to experiencing life itself in the manner manifested by the Creator for mankind surpassin

Recognizing faces in a crowd in real-time is a key feature which would significantly enhance intelligent surveillance systems. Using a smart camera as a tool to extract faces for recognition would greatly reduce the computational load on the main processing unit. Main processing unit would not be overloaded by the demands of the high data rates of
