The traditional set theory is constructed on the steady state, the bivalent logic and the fixed set boundary. However, the development of fuzzy set or rough set inspires us that an element, which membership degree to a specified set could be multivalent (fuzzy set) and the set boundary could also be undetermined (rough set). No mattering from the s

This paper presents a method of robust control system design foe aircraft flight control systems with the existence of uncertainty parameters such as stability and control derivatives resulted by parameter identification process using real test data. A nonlinear model of aircraft turn coordination system is considered. The problem is to find the op

In order to explore problems facing by local Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in adopting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, this paper seeks to investigate what are the barriers to ERP system adoption by SMEs? The research was conducted in a Malaysian medium-sized company that planned to adopt ERP systems. Prior researches have identified

Constipation is a debilitating medical condition with a wide range of aetiological factors. The two most common causes include pelvic floor dyssynergia and slow transit constipation. Eventhough constipation is not a life threatening, it does have an adverse effect on patient quality of life and associated with significant morbidity and financial im

An analysis of falling fi lm evaporation of saltwater has been carried out for a vapor compression desalination pilot plant. Detailed modeling and simulation have been used to fi nd the temperature and concentration variation inside the fi lm on a vertical tube evaporator. The heat and mass transfer phenomenon were analyzed using basic conservation

Problem statement: The benefits of easier manufacture of hardened steel components can be substantial in terms of reduced machining costs and lead times compared to the traditional route involving machining of the annealed state followed by heat treatment, grinding/EDM and manual finishing. But machinability of hard material through conventional ma

In this paper, the cutting of Tungsten Carbide ceramic using electro-discharge machining (EDM) with a graphite electrode by using Taguchi methodology has been reported. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyse the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics, and to predict the optimal choice for each

Assessing leaner’s answers is very time consuming for educators and limits them to be involved in other activities. In many cases, exam papers comprise of questions that require learners to write at least one or two sentences toe express their understanding. However, there are not many computer-based assessment tools due to limitations in compute

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is associated with an increase in oxidative stress. We aimed to study the effects of palm tocotrienol rich fraction (palm TRF) on proatherosclerotic changes in aorta of rats fed a high methionine diet. Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups. The first group was t
