This paper demonstrates optimization of collocated sensor-actuator location and the controller gains of active vibration control system. Ant colony optimization algorithm is employed for this purpose. Instead of using equation-based modeling for the system, the plant is a finite element model developed in COMSOL Multiphysics software, which later i

Our aim was to study changes in wheat proteomes across different growth locations as the first step in linking protein composition with functional changes in grains produced using commercial production systems. Soluble and insoluble proteins were extracted sequentially from grain of three commercial wheat cultivars grown at four locations in New So

Continuous advancement in wireless technology and silicon microfabrication has fueled exciting growth in wireless products. The bulky size of discrete vibrating mechanical devices such as quartz crystals and surface acoustic wave resonators impedes the ultimate miniaturization of single-chip transceivers. Fabrication of acoustic wave resonators on

The objectives of this study were to assess how functional properties of proteins in whole meal wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour vary across different growth environments. Grain from three commercial, Australian hard, milling wheat cultivars was analysed from four growth locations in 2008, and from two of the corresponding cultivars and locations

Studies have shown that the implementation of workplace ethics is a challenging task, but in the face of organisational change, a necessary effort. Therefore, the use of an adequate strategy to implement workplace ethic policies in general and Islamic work ethics (IWE) in particular, has been recommended. Implementing the Islamic work ethics in an

This paper demonstrates the implementation of virtual experiment using COMSOL Mutiphysics – MATLAB integration for optimization in active vibration control system. The benchmark model is a simply supported thin plate excited and attenuated by two piezoelectric patches. Instead of using equation-based modeling to represent the system, optimization

In this work, we predict the surface acoustic wave characteristics by 2D COMSOL finite element modeling. The dispersion of simulated acoustic mode shapes, acoustic phase velocity and coupling coefficient were performed on a CMOS-compatible 1.4 GHz SAW resonator. C-axis oriented Aluminium Nitride (AIN) was chosen as the piezoelectric material due to

Laporan ini mengetengahkan peranan Perawatan komuniti asertif (ACT) dalam merawat sebuah keluarga yang kebanyakan ahlinya menghidap penyakit mental; skizofrenia. Kami melaporkan satu kes iaitu seorang wanita dalam usia pertengahan yang menghidapi penyakit skizofrenia resistan pada rawatan (TRS) yang tinggal bersama dua lagi ahli keluarganya yang me

The present study seeks to shed some light on a workable model of George’s rapid prototype (2000) for the use and development of a mobile application for learning through an e-portfolio. In particular, this application focuses on sharing various types of artifacts, reflective journal writing, and learning experiences between students and their pe

Several studies have demonstrated that adiponectin has strong association with metabolic syndrome and its factors like obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease. A total 152 subjects were registered in this study. Among the respondents 76 were with metabolic syndrome (based on the criteria of the Interna
