The increasing use of microprocessors and microcontrollers in measurement and data acquisition systems has necessitated the need for obtaining sensor response in a digital format, thus avoiding the need for an analog-to-digital conversion stage. Further, in quite of a number of automation applications, there is the need of wireless transmission of

Video surveillance can be a very powerful tool in the fight against crime, by accurately monitoring human activities. Nevertheless, most surveillance systems today provide only a passive form of site monitoring. Extensive video records may be kept to help find the instigator of criminal activities after the crime has been committed but preventive m

This paper discusses the performance of die sinking EDM due to the shape configuration of the electrode. The effect of electrode shape on material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), wear ratio (WR), and average surface roughness (Ra) has been investigated for mild steel work material and copper electrode. The shapes of the electrodes we

In this paper, a multi-branch power line is modeled using ABCD matrix to show its worth as a communication channel. The model is simulated using MATLAB in an effort to investigate the effects of multiple loading, multipath, and those as a result of load mismatching. The channel transfer function is obtained and investigated using different cable le

Fasting is performed in different communities with different believes and for the management of body weight but in Islam the Muslim observes fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadan as an obligation. Therefore, this study was designed to know the effect of fasting on the body weight and blood lipids. Twenty five volunteers (male & female) from the

One of the chapters in the Sahih of al-Bukhari (d.256 A.H.) is “Kitab al-Qadar” (Chapter on Predestination). It contains twenty seven (27) traditions. The message conveyed through these reports is that the human life is preordained in all its detail. A critical examination of all these Ahadith shows that despite their authenticity from the angl

The generation of intensive heat during grinding not only accelerates wheel wear but also impairs the machined surface by inducing tensile residual stresses, micro-cracks and thermal damage. The application of conventional cutting fluids does not help to remove these problems effectively, particularly under heavy cutting conditions. Moreover, conve

In this project we investigate the feasibility of using the pseudo-rigid-body modelling technique in examining a simple modular compliant mechanism. An optimum design is tested through a modelling technique built around the concept of the pseudo-right-body. A mathematical model is constructed to determine the non-linear behavior of large-deflection

The overall purpose of this study is to explore and obtain empirical evidence on the selection criteria of independent non-executive directors INEDs) of Malaysian public listed companies, based upon social capital characteristics. Results derived from face-to-face interviews with 27 company directors representing companies listed on the stock excha
