In this study, photoplethysmogram (PPG) based heart abnormality detection method was proposed. PPG signals utilized were obtained from MIMIC II Waveform Database, Version 3 Part 1 with sampling frequency of 250 Hz with the duration of 10 seconds each. The feature of the PPG signals were then extracted using MATLAB and the distances between successi

Munk-Multhop's method is usually used for estimation of pitching moment of fuselage of conventional aircraft but application of the same for hybrid lifting fuselage had not been earlier explored. CFD methods can also be applied for the said purpose but it is difficult to separate out the portion of the moment caused by the fuselage, since the w

Hybrid jute-carbon/ epoxy composites, fabricated by hand lay-up method with fiber volume fractions of 0.47, 0.58 and 0.68 were used to investigate water absorption behavior as a function of immersion time and fiber content. The effect of moisture content on impact strength and failure modes was also studied. Results show that the moisture absorptio

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death in the world. Previous works have been performed to overcome this issue, however, a simple yet effective detection technique scarce. Thus, in this study, photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal which are easily acquired from the fingertip, low cost, and requires low power consumption, is used. These

The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research chall

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique that is commonly used for studying thermal effects. In food science, it is used to study physical behavior during storage and processing of fat and oils, carbohydrates, water or alcohol, proteins, and food packaging. Furthermore, it is well known as a simple, rapid, and environ

The Ministry of Education (MOE) had decided to abolish ‘The Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English’ (PPSMI) policy and replace it with a new policy ‘To Uphold Bahasa Malaysia and to Strengthen the English Language’ or better known as MBMMBI in 2012. The MBMMBI policy was implemented by MOE to ensure the usage of Malay L

This paper reports on the results of an exploratory factor analysis procedure applied on the e-learning readiness data obtained from a survey of four hundred and seventy-five (N = 475) teachers from secondary schools in Nablus, Palestine. The data were collected using a 23-item, self-developed Likert questionnaire measuring e-learning readiness bas

Corporate Internet Reporting (CIR) is the communication process between corporation and stakeholders via the Internet medium. The Malaysian economy in 2015 was ranked 14th in the world and 5th in countries with a population exceeding 20 million, is one of the most competitive countries in the world. The use of CIR by Malaysian corporations in diver

Nipa (Nypa fruticans Wurmb.) is a useful and widely distributed palm in Southeast Asia, but its habitats are declining due to industrial development. Information on genetic diversity, geographical differentiation, and phylogenetic relationships among the populations is important in order to develop conservation strategies for this species. In this
