This research investigates the factors during manufacturing process that affect the existence of pinholes in surgical gloves. The effects of eight variables on the number of pinholes were identified to determine the optimal condition to reduce the defects. Since there are multiple variables, a two-level fractional factorial design 28-4 were used to

knowledge sharing communities like Wikipedia and automated extraction like DBpedia enable a large construction of machine processing knowledge bases with relational fact of entities. These options give a great opportunity for researcher to use it as a domain concept between low-level features and high level concepts for image retrieval. The collect

Ontology based retrieval is gaining popularity due to the limitation posed by the conventional bag-of-words retrieval system. To semantically search for images, textual descriptions are usually used since low level features provide little meaningful information. As such conventional searching and retrieving of images are currently being employed. C

The food system, an interlinkage of activities involving the way we produce, process, transport, market, and consume our food to the way we manage our food waste, has a significant impact on our diet. A flawed food system restricts access to a healthy diet and promotes a low-quality diet, a diet that may be halal but not toyyib. Self-motivation and

This study looks into the influence of ageing on the carbon epoxy composite when impact is applied. Three different stacking sequences were investigated, one sequence with the classic lay-up, whereas the other two have quasiisotropic and quasi-homogeneous behaviour. The specimens were aged up to 2100h (3 months) in a climatic chamber with a tempera

Recent advances in photovoltaic technology have made materials (other than silicon) in combination attractive for the design of solar cells. Designers layer semiconductor materials with differing band gap energies to result in higher conversion efficiencies. In this work multijunction cells consist of multiple thin films produced using electrochemi

Due to the widespread prevalence of diabetes and the severity of complication, extensive research are underway to find more effective remedies to improve the life of those affected by the disease. Diabetes mellitus is chronic disease caused by inhered and/or acquired deficiency in production of insulin by the pancreas which results in increase conc

This conceptual paper proposes a theoretical framework in examining the reaction of employees in the Malaysian public sector towards HRIS, and to examine the relationship of HRIS use with the organization performance. In Malaysia, HRIS is one of the pilot projects under the Electronic Government Flagship. Pertinent literature is reviewed and a few

Oyster has been reputed since ancient time to increase sexual performance. This myth has been around for many years and still going strong until today. However, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim. Therefore, this study was conducted to screen the aphrodisiac property in local oyster of Crassostrea iredalei. Mounting behaviour and

Throughout the internet’s evolution , debates on cyber ethics had raised concerns within the educational system. New ethical dilemmas turned to emerge out of compounding facebook communication among users. Ethical behaviour involving computer networking has immense power in promoting not only valuable academic networking, but could be shifted for
