The paper aims to investigate the individual and situational factors that are believed to influence motivation to learn ICT among public senior officials in the Malaysian government. Based on Colquitt et al (2000) theoretical framework, a conceptual model was proposed to show the relationship between the factors investigated. Five factors, namely,
This study incorporates the computation of load distribution for an intelligent air-cushion track vehicle (IACTV) based on optimal power consumption (PC). A novel design auto adjusting air-cushion system has been designed and developed to minimise the PC. Focusing on optimising total PC,three main issues were studied in this paper. First, a theoret
There is growing interest in human activity recognition systems, motivated by their numerous promising applications in many domains. Despite much progress, most researchers have narrowed the problem towards fixed camera viewpoint owing to inherent difficulty to train their systems across all possible viewpoints. Fixed viewpoint systems are impracti
Fuzzy logic approach is used in this study to predict the tractive performance in terms of traction force, and motion resistance for an intelligent air cushion track vehicle while it operates in the swamp peat. The system is effective to control the intelligent air –cushion system with measuring the vehicle traction force (TF), motion resistance
Human posture recognition is gaining increasing attention in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer vision due to its promising applications in the areas of personal health care, environmental awareness, human-computer interaction and surveillance systems. Human posture recognition in video sequences is a challenging task which is part
This paper describes the unique structure of an intelligent air-cushion system of a hybrid electrical air-cushion track vehicle working on swamp terrain. Fuzzy expert system (FES) is used in this study to control the swamp tracked vehicle’s intelligent air cushion system while it operates in the swamp peat. The system will be effective to control
This paper describes the unique structure of an intelligent air –cushion system for an intelligent air-cushion track vehicle (IACTV) working on swamp terrain and its performance. Based on the total motion resistance and driving force analyzing for IACTV, the load distribution for the intelligent air-cushion system and propulsion system are invest
This paper presents the numerical analysis by means of the finite element method (FEM) to perform experiment findings of a model tracked vehicle-terrain interaction. A static analysis was performed with three different vehicle loading conditions of 1.96 kN, 2.45 kN, and 2.94 kN, respectively, to obtain the performance of the track frame design. Fin
In this paper, we describe a new scanning technique for fast atomic force microscopy. In this method, the sample is scanned in a spiral pattern instead of the well established raster pattern. AÂ spiral scan can be produced by applying single frequency cosine and sine signals with slowly varying amplitudes to the x -axis and y -axis of an atomic fo
