In this paper, a portable anti forgery recognition for attendance system using fingerprint based biometric is presented. Portability and security are the main purpose of applying biometric characteristics in a portable attendance system. An independent energy source and its miniature design make the system more efficient in terms of the portability

Cancer patients often have concurrent physical and psychological symptoms. These problems may become barriers towards the healing process. Antidepressants seem to be beneficial for the purpose of palliative care in this type of patients. One of the useful medications is mirtazapine, which is known as noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepr

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging system that incorporates many technologies from different areas. In this paper, we present the implementation of IoT in an agriculture industry, particularly in monitoring an automated fertigation system. The monitoring system comprises a web-based system, an automatic fertigation system and a communication n

Prophetic (sunnah) foods are gaining an upsurge interest among Muslim community in Malaysia. This is shown by huge number of prophetic food products manufactured by local Muslim companies. This has demonstrated an increased awareness in practicing the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. No study has examined the perception of Malaysian elderly on pro

This study investigated the heavy metal resistance capabilities towards chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) of bacteria isolated from marine sediments of three locations, namely, Teluk Chempedak, Pantai Batu Hitam and Pantai Balok. Majority of the isolates from Pantai Balok area exhibited high resistance to Cr, Ni,

An increasing number of CCTV have been deployed in public and crime-prone areas as demand for automatic monitoring system is increasing to counterbalance the limitation of human monitoring. To have a good monitoring system in such places, a good background model is needed in order to reduce amount of the video processing needed for tracking, classi

Context-aware computing is a class of mobile computing that can sense its physical environment and adapt its behavior accordingly; it is a component of the ubiquitous or pervasive computing environment that has become apparent with innovations and challenges. This chapter reviews the concept of context aware computing, with focus on the user activi

Background: Smoking is the leading preventable cause of non-communicable disease worldwide. Therefore effort for effective measure in smoking cessation will be beneficial. However, relapse is the central problem in the treatment of nicotine addiction. Understanding the relapse phenomena in smoking cessation program will promote better informed inte

Multi-User navigation within an environment with the aid of 3D mobile support provides end users with additional mobility thought and improves mobility services’ efficiency. A necessary approach of using mobile device for navigation aid is to display only a section of the view-front and to let users control the portion shown by conceptually movin

Interactive navigation within an environment with the aid of 3D map of the environment in mobile devices’ provides end users with mobility support and improves mobility services’ efficiency and effectiveness. Accurate and ubiquitous multi-user localization is one of the key prerequisites for realizing the potential of interactive navigation bas
