—Objective screening mechanism using paralinguistic cues to enhance current diagnostic on detecting depression is desirable, which resulted in the rise of research on this area. However, to date, there has been no research done using dataset of Malay speakers. This paper presented an acoustic depression detection classification using Linear and Q

Production of lactic acid and ethanol from inedible cassava starch and leaves was investigated. Prior to fermentation, hydrolysis of the starch and leaves was conducted. Hydrolysis was optimized by manipulating at three levels each four particular factors, namely acid concentration, starch concentration, temperature, and reaction time. Maximum gluc

While electrical stimulation has proven to produce positive outcome among patients, electrical stimulation in post stroke rehabilitation faced one main limitation – muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue limits the training time, hence, affecting the recovery process. This work analyzes the occurrence of muscle fatigue with respect to the different stimu
