Automated security systems are a useful addition for today's home where safety is essential. Vision-based security systems have the greater advantages over the traditional security systems such as using the lock, observing by the security guard, using alarm signal etc. This paper proposed an integrated dual-level vision-based home security syst

This paper presents a method or technique that identifies physical intrusion detection in an indoor environment that is based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI) on radio frequency identification. The objective of this paper is two folds. Firstly, is to characterize the signal behavior in an indoor environment using statistical measures. S

The continued growth of the world construction sectors has resulted in high demand for concrete materials. The innovation of using filler as a replacement for cement is becoming a trend in order to reduce the cement consumption and provide benefit in various ways. Hence forth, 10% of cement was replaced by the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in this stud

Abstract. Concrete is a common material that widely used in construction industry. Excessive usage of this material causes exhaustibility to its components, especially fine aggregate or sand. In this regard, the use of manufactured sand is considered as a part of the solutions to fix this problem as it is readily available. In this research, the ma

Abstract. Conventional concrete does not have durability and higher strength as produced by high performance concrete (HPC). It is known that the HPC possess the following three properties which are high workability, high strength, and durability. The introduction of polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizer was proved to enhance the workability

Renewable resources can create a platform to substitute petroleum-based polymers through innovative bio-based polymers. Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) is the most reliable biodegradable polymer that can be substitute for the application of petrochemical-polymer. Suitable biodegradable plasticizer was studied to examine the effect of the incorporation of p

People acknowledge the effort of Modern science in bringing cosmos into reality. The research made in space has made what was once considered impossible possible and has opened the cosmos wide for further investigations and discoveries. Modern western empirical science has surely been the most impressive intellectual development since the 16th cent

Islam is considered to be the only complete code of life available for the whole human kind on this planet. It comprises principles and rulings for all aspects of this worldly life and life hereafter, which are combinedly called SharÊÑah or Islamic Shari`ah.
