Human hand recognition plays an important role in a wide range of applications ranging from sign language translators, gesture recognition, augmented reality, surveillance and medical image processing to various Human Computer Interaction (HCI) domains. Human hand is a complex articulated object consisting of many connected parts and joints. Theref

Spam is the most common problem faced by email users today when they communicate via the Internet or mobile technology. Despite numerous efforts taken, the battle to contain this problem still goes on. This paper describes a proposed model which focuses on the behavior of email users in avoiding spam while using this popular channel of communicatio

It is a general assumption that robotics will play an important role in therapy activities within rehabilitation treatment. In the last decade, the interest in the field has grown exponentially mainly due to the initial success of the early systems and the growing demand caused by increasing numbers of stroke patients and their associate rehabilita

The present study was undertaken to provide an ultrastructural identifi cation of the different cells in the islets of the camel pancreas. Tissue samples were obtained from ten healthy, adult camels and processed for electron microscopy. The islets are composed of abundant, centrally located beta; β-cells, alpha; α-cells are present at the very

More often than not, transportation nodes such as stations, interchanges and terminals were designed without much consideration to the needs, ergonomics and behavior of prospective passengers and public transport users. This research reports the first phase of the validation of data for the capturing of pedestrian behaviours at major interchanges.

Enable the design of a small contact spring for applications requiring high density, high speed and high durability. A low normal force (LNF) contact spring with high performance is fabricated using a unique combined MEMS photo resist lithography and electro fine forming (EFF) technology. Reducing a total contact material cost of a connector, a hig

Introduction: The New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit model is commonly used for the research of posterolateral intertransverse lumbar arthrodesis. The standard approach reported by many researchers are a muscle splitting approach through the intermuscular plane between multifidus and longissimus muscles. Methods: In this research the fusion bed was exp

This research characterizes the first psychometric evaluation criteria for the alternative LCL QAEM constructs of NUC accreditation instruments to gauge the quality assurance evaluation of university educational institutions in Nigerian, comprising five factors: innovation, communication, motivation, pacifier and implementer. This research using Ex

For indoor local area network (LAN) the Polymer optical fiber (POF) is mostly appropriate, because of its large core diameter and flexible material. A 1×2 optical switch for indoor LAN using POF and a shape memory alloy (SMA) coil actuator with magnetic latches was successfully fabricated and tested. To achieve switching by the movement of a POF,
