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

Availability is a major concern to measure the QoS of Free Space Optical (FSO) communication link. In tropical areas, rain is the most dominant factor affecting the FSO link availability; whereas haze has no significant impact on FSO link availability compare to rain. In this paper,availability assessment of FSO was examined based on predicted atmo

Free Space Optics is a promising optical wireless technology in broadband networks. It uses laser as a medium of transmission between two transceivers. In tropical climate, haze is one of the weather phenomenons which reduce the visibility. Low visibility increases atmospheric attenuation and reduce the availability of optical signals for free spac

Floods refers to the condition of great overflow of water over a dry land. In malaysia, monsoon flood which cause by the heavy rain in monsoon seasons regularly hits the country. A criteria of the cloud based on horizontal and vertical profile of radar reflectivity have been analyzed in this paper to estimate flood event. The values of the thicknes

The majority of maps we deal with in different fields of research, particularly in Engineering, are nonlinear maps. For application, calculation, approximation and theoretical purposes the representation of such maps by matrices, around a fixed point, is important. The current paper deals with this problem in general finite dimensional case. The ma
