Limb loss is a growing problem in Malaysia and the rest of the world due to the increasing number of industrial accidents, diseases and armed conflicts. After a tragic incident resulting in an amputation or paralysis, the disabled individual needs to be assisted with all possible technological means to improve his quality of life. A cybernetic pros

High quality ZnO thin films are required to produce CMOS SAW resonators operating with low losses and high Q. This work intends to develop high performance CMOS SAW resonators through optimization of both the quality of the ZnO and the design of the SAW resonator. Zinc oxide was chosen for this work as the piezoelectric material due to its superior

In this paper, a person identification mechanism implemented with Cardioid based graph using electrocardiogram (ECG) is presented. Cardioid based graph has given a reasonably good classification accuracy in terms of differentiating between individuals. However, the current feature extraction method using Euclidean distance could be further improved

This paper demonstrates subject recognition using electrocardiogram (ECG) signal in different physiological conditions. A total of 30 subjects used in this study were obtained from a non-invasive measurement called the Revitus ECG module. Each subject performed six physiological activities which are walking, going upstairs, going downstairs, natura

Upper limb amputation that includes finger amputation is increasing every year due to accidents, diseases and congenital amputation. The loss of finger especially thumb could limit the proper hand functions and thus affect human daily activities. As a solution, a prosthetic thumb can be worn as a replacement to the real thumb. Natural controlled of

Objectives: In Malaysia dietary supplements are ram- pantly consumed for general health and well-being and therefore, available in community pharmacies, health food stores, night markets, grocery stores and even obtained via internet. However, gap in the level of Malaysian consumer’s awareness regarding the toxicity of dietary supplements is a ma

Stroke is the third largest cause of death in Malaysia. Only heart diseases and cancer kill more. It is considered to be the single most common cause of severe disability involving deficits of motor function, and every year, an estimated 40,000 people in Malaysia suffer from stroke. Any form of solutions that could help a stroke patient regain usef

Objectives: Developing countries are struggling with the high cost of treatment and generic medicines could be instrumental in curtailing the cost of treatment and reduce healthcare expenditures. Pakistan is not an exception to this issue. This study is a mere attempt to explore the knowledge and perception of Pakistani consumers towards generic me

A free media is a bedrock of democracy as espoused by the Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd Najib since without a free media reporting uncomfortable truths about the government how could the populace participate in governance. However, absolute freedom has no place in any country since absolute freedom will lead to anarchy. The task then is to stri

This research evaluates the failures of the international community to solve the long standing political impulse that has generated humanitarian crisis as well as political, social and military instabilities in Somalia and in the horn of Africa. The nucleus objective of the research is to explicate critically the causes of the failures. Prior to th
