Problem statement: Digital watermarking provides security to medical images. Watermarking in Region Of Interest (ROI) however distorts medical images but it is known that the resulting loss of fidelity is visually imperceptible. Approach: Clinical assessment will objectively evaluate the distortion on medical images to see whether or not medical di

We report a sudden hypoxaemia during intubation and after extubation in patient was smoking few hour before surgery. The cause of his desaturation was not related to secretion in the upper airway but may be due to reduced oxygen tension in the body prior to surgery. We able to secure the airway and prevent prolonged of desaturation by intubating th

Continuous spinal anaesthesia (CSA) has been found to produce good haemodynamic control and prolongation of anaesthetic and analgesic. This is particularly useful in patients with cardiovascular compromise. In contrast to general anaesthesia, CSA allow us to communicate with the patient throughout the operation and thus give us information regardin

We report a case of intermittent femoral nerve block to assist in physiotherapy after knee arthroplasty. A 25-year-old factory worker sustained right anterior cruciate ligament tear after sport injury and had undergone a reconstructive surgery. One month after the operation, he developed arthrofibrosis and experienced severe pain with limited joint

A models and modeling perspective led to Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs), authentic mathematical modeling problems, being introduced into a first-year engineering program in 2002. A design research perspective then led to iterative improvements in the design of these activities, strategies for their implementation, and strategies for assessing st

The present study attempts to analyze the long-run equilibrium relationship between real exchange rate and export demand by non-linear cointegration tests. The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test is expanding to incorporate an exponential smooth-transition error correction term (ESTAR model) as it is expected that there might be non-linear ad

Of late, many have shown great interests in the area of energy harvesting or energy scavenging. Researchers have been venturing into methods that can generate acceptable level of voltage since decades ago. In line with the spirit of green technology, energy harvesting will be a major contributor towards saving our environment in near future. Vibrat

Particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are potential materials for various applications due to their advantageous of physical and mechanical properties. This paper presents a study on the performance of stir cast Al2O3 SiC reinforced metal matrix composite materials. The results indicate that the composite materials exhibit improved

This is a book project illustrating the documentation of the heritage studies course. The book is a compilation of the fieldwork data of heritage studies 2011 course. Among the heritage buildings documented were Sultan Abdullah Masjid, Pekan, Pahang, Lal Bargh Fort, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sunan Giri Masjid, Gersik, Surabaya and Sunan Ampel Masjid, Sura

Stir casting method is used in the production of SiC reinforced-aluminium metal matrix composite (AMMC) to enhance the properties of base metal. Different weight fraction of Silicon carbide, SiC (5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt %) particulate-reinforced AMMCs are fabricated and characterizations of physical and mechanical properties of the materials are pe
