Failure of hip bone joint is commonly caused by injuries, arthritis or aging factor. Currently, Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been dominating for medical applications; with uses extending across many orthopedic, dental and maxillofacial devices as well as the cardiovascular products. The production technique with this material is not economical and thus, les

This paper presents the development of graphical user interface (GUI) for Humanoid Head Robot Amir-II. The GUI serves as a monitoring tool for the robot operation which includes the visual input from a webcam as its eye and the positioning of the Dynamixel AX-12 robot actuators. Matlab Graphical User Interface Development Environment (Matlab GUIDE)

Recent research in video surveillance system has shown an increasing focus on creating reliable systems utilizing non-computationally expensive technique for observing humans’ appearance, movements and activities, thus providing analytical information for advanced human behavior analysis and realistic human modeling. In order for the system to fu

It is vital to test the response, reliability and to determine image artifacts produced by the nuclear medicine tomography systems due to some systemic limitations before their use in clinical studies. That cannot be reliably achieved by scanning patients. Different types of test phantoms are commercially available with accurately/precisely known c

This study focussed on heavy-metal concentrations in sediment off the coast of Kemaman. Sampling was conducted at 21 stations during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Sediment was analysed for total concentration of Co, Pb and Zn using ICP-MS after total acid digestion. The grain size of the sediment samples were measured by dry sieving and

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of the aqueous crude extract of Olea europaea on serum glucose level and histopathological changes in islets of Langerhans in an induced-diabetic mellitus in mice. The experimental recommended 60 male mice were divided into three groups contained 20 mice each. The fi rst group was the con

Proteus mirabilis has previously been shown to be capable of persisting in the rat kidney for up to 8 weeks and induces many physiological changes following a single inoculation of the urinary bladder. The present study examined kidney tissue from infected animals for evi-dence of renal damage. The earliest histologic changes seen on the 2nd and 4t

Wavelets have been applied successfully in signal and image processing. Many attempts have been made in mathematics to use orthogonal wavelet function as numerical computational tool. In this work, an orthogonal wavelet function namely Haar wavelet function is considered. We present a numerical method for inversion of Laplace transform using the me

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite is one of expensive material which is widely used in aerospace application because of its properties. During machining, several problems arose which are due to the existence of the carbon in CFRP. Abrasive wear can be easily found on the cutting tool during machining CFRP which shorten the life of th

ZnO thin films were deposited on Teflon substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperature and different RF power. In this work, we investigated the dependence of the deposition rate and also the ZnO physical and electrical properties on the substrate temperature and RF power. It is observed that the deposition rate increased
