Introduction: Women with history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have four-fold increased risk to develop cardiovascular diseases later in life. It has been postulated that the transient increase in blood pressure (BP) during pregnancy leads to ongoing endothelial dysfunction even though BP is normalized during postpartum. A balanced p

Efficient routing is an essential requirement for the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) protocols to overcome inherent challenges and to meet hardware and resource constraints. An energy-efficient scalable routing algorithm based on ant colony optimization (ACO) for WSNs is presented here to find the optimal path of data transmission while co

This study investigates the feasibility of a lie detector based on Photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. Lie detector records physiological change of a subject under Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT). This study involved 6 subjects of age range between 23 and 24 years. Real time PPG signals were captured from a sensor that is capable of measuring the blood p

Cleaning the polluted river involves a considerable cost. For Baram and Miri river in Sarawak, the problem had become worst due to rapid growth. Thus, e -hailing app is proposed to reduce the problem faced. This paper will examine on the important features of the app and major function where towards the end, river pollution can be kept low with ful

A series of meiobenthic sampling were carried in Tioman Island coral area between July to September 2016 and from August until October 2017. Four species from three different genera were identified as family members of Miraciidae Dana, 1846: Robertgurneya smithi Hamond, 1973, Typhlamphiascus typhloides Sars G.O, 1911, Typhlamphiascus lutincola Soye

The methods to achieve efficient routing in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a fundamental issue in networking research. A novel approach of ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm for discovering the optimum route for information transmission in the WSNs is proposed here for optimization and enhancement. The issue of path sele

Flood is usually caused by heavy precipitation that eventually lead to river spillage. In some rare cases, inundation could happen due to the accumulation of water on land cover resulting in stagnant flooding. Pekan sub-district is chosen as the ideal study area to determine the type of flood in this location. Using Geographic Information System (G

Recent Kim Kim River toxic pollution incident has raised eyebrows and sparked anger of Malaysian public about the irresponsible act of water pollution. Although this is an extreme pollution case of toxic proportion, day-to-day mining activities will leave behind mine wastes which may contain toxic chemicals such as arsenic that might be leached out

Waiting time among diabetic patients is becoming an important issue considering the increasing number of this population requiring to follow up in primary care clinic. Diabetic patients have multiple stations to be visited, causing them to have a longer waiting time compared to other patients. Their dissatisfaction should be investigated for furthe

Food wastage is a serious problem reported currently, and their disposal at landfills caused environmental problems such as leachate and odour. Apart from being disposed, FW is biodegradable, and hence it can be treated through composting. Composting involves the activity of microbes to convert the FW into compost which can be used as organic ferti
