Caliber of the retinal blood vessel is widely used for risk assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Accurate and automatic caliber measurement requires a precise model to be made for the vessel profile. In this paper, we present a new approach for retinal vessel profiling in which the background noise, uneven illuminations and specular reflections h

Recently, many industries are aims to reduce the usage of petroleum based product or synthetic fibre due to the increment of the environmental consciousness. This has lead to the extensive research on the natural fibre in order to produce eco–friendly product that will replace the existing petroleum based products. Natural fibre can be derived fr

The world is changing by the unbeatable pace, technology progresses, globalization is taking place and a man is stuck in that vicious cycle. In order to cope up with change man needs to learn constantly, othenvise he is doomed. The environment has changed drastically from the time of Revelation and Prophethood. As the consequence of the drastic cha

Liquid cargo contained in a partially filled tank is known to experience sloshing movement when subjected to maneuvering disturbances. Large amplitude of liquid slosh can be induced within a partially filled road tank vehicle under mild to severe maneuvers, within may severely affect the structural integrity of the tank. A comprehensive experimenta

In this research, Barre granites are subjected to localized impacts of spherical projectiles with density variation. Three kinds of projectiles have been used, namely chrome steel, copper 102 and pure lead. The amount of damage is studied on both brittle target as well as ductile projectile. The result shows significance of intact time for free edg

A system and method of quantum key distribution between a transmitter (100) and a receiver (200), wherein the system comprises at least one transmitter (100), at least one receiver (200, and a transmission means (26) for sharing a secret key securely through the means of generating quantum signals in random phase modulation and random frequency mod

This research investigates the factors that affect the existence of pinholes in surgical gloves during the manufacturing process. Since eight factors affect the existence of pinholes in surgical gloves, a two-level fractional factorial design 28-4 was used to study the main effects and the first-order interactions of the multiple variables. Multipl

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are known as self-assembled, non-replicative and non-infectious protein particles, which imitate the formation and structure of original wild type viruses, however, lack the viral genome and/or their fragments. The capacity of VLPs to encompass small molecules like nucleic acids and others has made them as novel vessels

Many first language acquisition (FLA) studies have found a strong correlation between lexical and grammatical development in early language acquisition. For bilingual first language acquisition (BFLA), the development of grammar is also found to be correlated with the size of the lexicon in each language. This case study investigates how a Malay-En

It is undeniable facts that many maids whom have been abused sexually, physically, mentally, and psychologically by their employers or employer’s family or relative. Therefore, this study examines how Shari’ah punishment can be applied as a deterrent punishment and lesson to others. It is individual rights to work as employee based on his or he
