This paper proposes the PSO-FOPID controller, which is a Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller tuned using particle swarm optimization with spreading factor algorithm for height position control of a scissor mechanism platform. The tuning process of five control gains in the FOPID controller is technically challenging

In conjunction with the rise of the Muslim population and beauty awareness, the halal cosmetic industry is expected to grow significantly. This growth serves as an opportunity for the cosmetic industry in Malaysia to bring out a lot of new cosmetic products into the industry. However, it can lead to strengthen the market competition which then resu

Mangroves forests provide a support to the coastal livelihood, ecosystem, socioeconomic and also the environment. In Malaysia, the mangroves forest has been in declining rate causes by a few factor such as conversion to shrimps ponds, urban development and tourism. Such threats led to increasing demand for detailed mangrove maps for the purpose of

Introduction:Stretching is known for its benefits in preventing sports injury due to hamstring tightness. This study aims to examine the effect of passive and active stretching on hamstring tightness by hamstring flexibility through active knee extension (AKE) and hamstring activation through surface electromyography (EMG) evaluation.Methods: Analy

Introduction: The present study was designed to assess the knowledge of complementary feeding practices among parents who send children to nurseries in Kuantan, Pahang. Method: This research was a cross-sectional survey conducted on 137 parents. A convenient sampling method was used to choose ten selected nurseries in Kuantan, Pahang. A research qu

The new equation derived in the previous paper within the framework of the hydrodynamical model and on the basis that the stretching is quantized is used to produce the energy states in the ground state bands for nuclei in the actinide region and in beta bands for some nuclei selected randomly. The formula showed excellent agreement with experiment

This study explored the prevalence of sejahtera living—an idea rooted in the belief that Islam is a way of life—among students at an Islamic university in Malaysia, and tested the extent to which the students’ responses to the questionnaire items on the concept constituted meaningful and interpretable facets of sejahtera living. A total of 59

Control over a lamellar-like-structured high entropy alloy (HEA) system is found to be possible by replacement of aluminium with boron into the FeCoNi(Bx Al1-x)0.1Si0.1 composition in the range of x = 0 to 1.0. The BCC/B2 microstructure of FeCoNi(Al0.1Si0.1) HEA is changed into a multiple phase system comprising of BCC/B2, FCC and Fe2B-type interme

The mechanical properties of a material reflect the relationship between its response to or deformation from an applied load or force. It determines the range of usefulness of a material and establishes the service life that can be expected. The importance of mechanical properties includes strength, hardness, ductility and stiffness. These properti
