Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) benefit from muscle training with functional electrical stimulation (FES). For safety reasons and to optimize training outcome, the fatigue state of the target muscle must be monitored. Detection of muscle fatigue from mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) feature of mechanomyographic (MMG) signal using su

This paper focuses on Malaysia’s policy towards the Rohingya refugees in the country. It is divided into four parts. The first part of this Chapter analyses the reasons for the Rohingyas to choose to come to Malaysia. The next part discusses the Immigration Act 1967 as part and parcel of any adopted policy. Interviews and related documents have b

This study aims to explain a brief biography of Said Hawwa, one of prominent and influential Islamic scholar that lived in 19th century, and to analyse his book which titled Al-Asās fī Tafsīr from the critical thinking perspective. To obtain the result, the writer use two methods; descriptive method and analytical method. The first method used t

Many Waqf institutions face difficulties in financing Waqf projects, developing them and transforming them into productive endowments, with higher and more efficient revenues in their developmental contribution. Endowments in Singapore are models that guide the endowments produced efficiently and effectively, and contribute significantly to economi

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of proteinases that are involved with the enzymatic breakdown of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane components. These enzymes are important in regulating vital physiological functions such as embryonic development, wound healing and tissue remodelling. However, several disorders may result fr

Concrete construction industry is one of the major sector utilizing natural resources to produce concrete for building constructions. The rapid increase in building constructions and the demand for natural aggregates has resulted in depletion natural resources at an alarming rate. Uncontrolled mining activity worsens the situation. Thus serious awa

To determine the similarities and differences categories of the assessments between the Malaysian green assessment tool for residential building with other countries, six (60 green assessments from six (6)different countries had been chosen; the United State (US) to represent the American region, the United Kingdom (UK)to represent Europe, Japan to

Trigger finger is characterized by locking or painful snapping when flexing the. Multiple approaches can be used to treat a patient with trigger finger. It can be divided into two major groups, either conservative o

The purpose of this study was the improvement of cold flow and lubricity characteristics of biodiesel produced from the palm-sesame oil blend. Extreme learning machine (ELM) and response surface methodology (RSM) techniques were used to model the production process and the input variables (time, catalyst amount, methanol to oil ratio, and duty cycl

Protective ligands are key components of ligand-protected metal nanoclusters (NCs), as they offer good stability and multiple functionalities to the metal NCs in solution. Herein, we demonstrated that the ligand landscape on the NC surface could also be used to modulate the catalytic active sites of metal NCs in solution thus to direct the catalyti
