Allocation of land for the disposal and treatment of toxic waste is difficult in many developed nations; this more than often leads to dumping of the said waste into either the ocean or into developing nations. The latter option being the easier and more cost-effective of the two, due to the lack or lax of related regulations, the ethical aspect of

Pereskia is the only cactus genus that has green leaf unlike other genera of large Cactaceae family. Pereskia is well known in scientific community for their heterogeneous, morphological and botanical characteristics. Although Pereskia genus originates in Latin American countries but it is also widespread in tropical areas like Malaysia, Indonesia.

Generated rain attenuation time series plays an important role for investigating the rain fade characteristics in the lack of real fade measurements. A suitable conversion technique can be applied to measured rain rate time series to produce rain attenuation data and be utilized to understand the rain fade characteristics. This paper focuses on app

Based on Shannon’s capacity theorem, high frequencies offer high recompense. The implementation of high frequencies for satellite communication system is imperative to be thoroughly studied and explored, especially in the tropical environment where rain is copious. In this region, hydrometeors effect especially rain attenuation is the factor that

Nowadays, real-time applications become immensely popular and available over wireless devices. An emerging technology IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) has brought users to have trendy gadgets like smart phones, tablets and laptops. These applications require a fast and efficient handover that guarantee a service of security and Qualit

Free Space Optic (FSO) vulnerability towards atmospheric phenomena is becoming a main issue towards its implementation. A lot of studies have been conducted to estimate the climatological effects on FSO links but most of them are based on terrestrial link with short path lengths and centred in temperate regions.Hence, this paper aims to analyse the

Gait recognition is usually referred to signify the human identification by the style/way people walk in image sequences. Our aim is to implement the traditional gait recognition algorithm and to show the variation in gait recognition when subject is observed parallel to camera under three conditions- walking normal, carrying a bag and wearing a co

Light weight composite materials for automotive application influence on energy saving as well as performance in automotive systems. Brake rotor is identified as a crucial system which halts the kinetic action in vehicles when the situation becomes unsafe due to undesirable conditions. Currently, cast iron is widely used for rotor application but i

The rapid growth of mobile technology will push educational institutions to adopt mobile learning (m-learning). It has the potential to allow students to more closely integrate with learning activities in their lives. However, its adoption and level of use is low in Thailand compared to other countries. This study aims to identify factors that affe
