This paper proposes a meta-heuristic technique to optimize controller parameters for upper extremity rehabilitation robot. The exoskeleton used in this study is a three-degrees-of-freedom system facilitating shoulder and elbow joint movements. The robot exoskeleton is designed for facilitating shoulder abduction/ adduction, extension/ flexion, hori

The QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is known to have an important role in monitoring heart’s electrical activity because the presence of QT interval prolongation can be associated with life-threatening cardiac events. This interval can be identified and measured using either manual or automated techniques. Currently, studies on

Nanocoating acted as a barrier to avoid the transportation of corrosive species. Nanoparticles provide the resin or coating with a continuous, solid and protective network layer. Silicon wafer p-type substrate <101> was used as standard materials while tungsten wire of 0.15mm diameter was used as tip for scanning operation. Nanoeducator sho

The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Parent Rating Scale of attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) symptoms (M-SNAP-IV). For this purpose, the SNAP-IV scale was translated into the Malay language and was pilot-tested on 91 parents of children aged 8 to 11 y

The objective of this research is to investigate the interfacial compatibility of metal oxide nanoparticles and epoxy as the nanocoating. The sol is synthesized by the copolymerization of epoxy resin and hardener with the incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles, which is Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Silica (SiO2). Epoxy and hardener acted as a host whil

Also agreeing to the fact that Malaysian rivers are rejuvenating due to the MCO is International Islamic University Malaysia biotechnology engineering lecturer Professor Nassereldeen Ahmed Kabbashi. According to Nassereldeen, because of the MCO, the river's eco-system has been given a chance to recover while multiplying the reproduction of the

Urban Traffic System constitutes a group of interdependent and interrelated traffic and related components which are intended to form a unified entity to accomplish smooth, orderly and safe movement of vehicles in an urban area. The number of trips being attracted to urban areas is normally very high due to the presence of high density commercial a

Gelatin is an important protein produced through partial hydrolysis of collagen from animal parts and byproducts such as cartilage, bones, tendons, and hides. The ability of gelatin to form a thermo-reversible gel at normal body temperature and high water content make it an exceptional food ingredient. A good quality gelatin is translucent, brittle

Teachers play an important role in the successful implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for students with complex communication needs. The goal of this two-phase, mixed-methods study was to explore Malaysian teachers’ use of, experience with, and perceptions about AAC. Phase 1 involved 252 teachers who completed a que

Cellulose is commonly known for its uses in the production of products and materials due to its fascinating structure and properties, and it is also an almost unlimited organic polymeric raw material. In this research, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) from cocoa pod husks (Theobroma cacao L.) CPH is extracted using alkaline and minimal concentration of
