The absence of tactile sensory feedback in transradial prosthetic hands is one of the major contributing factors for these devices to be rejected by users. This paper reports human psychophysical response to vibrotactile sensations in discriminating surface textures, as a possible non-invasive method to supplement sensory feedback for prosthetic ha

The primary goals of resuscitation are to preserve life, restore health, relieve suffering and limit disability. As nurses, executing the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a patient experiencing cardio-pulmonary arrest is essential in preserving life. However nurses face a dilemma in the decision making to either preserve the patient’s life

Contamination obsession is the commonest subtype of obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), and has been found to be higher among Muslim populations. The presentation of clinical OCD is influenced by one’s religious belief, practice, and culture. Islamic rituals that emphasise on cleanliness or ritual purity could explain why the common contents of o

At present, school bus services play a vital role to transport students in every country region from home to schools. Many of parents are relying very much on the school bus services although they are worried about their children safety. Realizing of that problem, this paper proposed a SMS based solution to assist most of parents to identify their

• Globally, many youth are physically inactive. • 4/5 adolescents don’t attain WHO’s recommended guidelines for physical activity with females being more prominent in sedentary lifestyle. • Globally, around 31% of adults aged 15 and above are insufficiently active in 2008 (men 28% and women 34%). • WHO physical inactivity is a key ri

The forced convection flow in incompressible viscous fluid past a vertical plate is investigated with the effect of magnetic field. The governing equations are solved numerically using automated solution technique which is FEniCS. It is shown that the increasing of magnetic field strength lead to decrease the velocity but increase the temperature f

Health workers, like nurses are tasked to save the lives of their patients, however, there are instances in which health workers have to deal with difficult cases in taking a life, such as abortion. Scholars in the field of healthcare assert that abortion is morally justified if it is sought for health reasons. Nevertheless, there are a number of c

This paper discusses the relief of specific performance (SP) and deals with types and nature of contracts that may be ordered by the court to be specifically performed and those that cannot be specifically performed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to identify the important performance indicators used in assessing public private partnership (PPP) performance in terms of the two aspects of PPP which are “financing and markets” and “innovation and learnings”; and second, to investigate the differences in the perception between public

Estimating functions have been used in estimating parameters of many continuous time series models. However, this method has not been applied to models involving count data. In this paper, we use quadratic estimating functions (QEF) to derive estimators for the joint estimation of the conditional mean and variance parameters of count data models, s
