Retinal blood flow (RBF) increases in response to a reduction in oxygen (hypoxia), but decreases in response to increased oxygen (hyperoxia). However, the relationship between blood flow and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen has not been quantified and modeled in the retina in particular the vascular reserve and resting tonus of the vessels.

MRSA is a multi-resistant S.aureus bacteria which can colonize or infect humans either in the community or hospitals. Being increasingly common as a cause of nosocomial infection, active actions need to be taken to control and prevent this costly and serious infection which can lead to mortality. One of the control measures which can be taken in th

Effluents from dye and textile industries are highly contaminated and toxic to the environment. High concentration of non-biodegradable compounds contributes to increased biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater bodies. Dyes found in wastewater from textile industries are carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratoge

In this research, a snake robot is developed using Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC), one of the best artificial muscles from Electro-active Polymer (EAP) group. A novel tendon driven parallel structure is built for a single link of the snake robot. A kinematic analysis has been discussed of the actuator following with the analysis of the IPMC a

Satellite to earth links operating at Ku, Ka, and V bands are strongly attenuated by rain. Rain attenuation is the most significant parameter which degrades the performance of the links. Hence, it is essential for satellite link designer to take into account rain fade prediction accurately before system implementation. Rain rate is the main paramet

RazakSat1 was launched at Near Equatorial Orbit (NEqO) where Trapped Protons/Electrons (TP/TE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) has intensive effect on satellite's memory like SRAM based FPGA. Due to this devastating effect, it is important to investigate the radiation environment of the orbit to predict the SEU rate for 6T SRAM, which is the bui

Floods are one of the major disasters occurring all over the world, including Malaysia. It can lead to the destruction of facilities, infrastructures as well as properties. Minimizing the risk of hazards and loss can be achieved by implementing several measures. Motivated by one of the biggest flood disasters ever occurred in the country, this moni

Tendon driven actuators are getting mature in electroactive polymer (EAP) researches. Research and development of the dielectric elastomer (DE) actuator from EAP family, have produced significant progress for decades. Dielectric elastomer is used in this paper to model a micro actuator platform. The parallel platform designing in this paper consist

The use of Persuasive Technology in various fields is rapidly increasing. It can be applied in many fields such as computing, marketing, sales, environment, education, and health. Persuasive Technology has been found effective in bringing a required change in users' behaviors and attitudes. However, the use of persuasive technology is scarce in

This study aims to present the standard of care used in both traditional and modern medicine with attempts to compare and contrast between each of them. The issue of concern is whether practitioners in both medicine are required to adhere and follow the same standard of care or each one has its own standard differ from other. This should follow by
