This work attempts to design and implement in hardware a transducer with a nonlinear response using potentiometer. Potentiometer is regarded as a linear transducer, while a the response of a nonlinear transducer can be treated as a concatenation of linear segments made out of the response curve of an actual nonlinear transducer at the points of inf

This work is aimed at powering implanted electronic device with sensors meant for collection of biomedical signals. This is done through inductive coupling technique employed not only to transfer power (mW level) but also to make data available to the external world for monitoring purposes. It is primarily an analysis associated with transferring d

Spices are used in food around the world with a view to enhance the flavor/aroma of dietary preparations. Apart from this aspect spices are also used in herbal medicines practice/treatment. Therefore, spices have been studied extensively in relation to their effectiveness in the prevention/control of certain disease conditions. Numerous studies hav

Physicochemical parameters influence the vertical spatial distribution of microbial communities in any water bodies. Based on this perspective, a study on physicochemical parameters and bacterial community was carried out from five stations on January-June 2009 at the Kuantan estuary of Pahang, Malaysia. The temperature was ranged from 25.01-27.48�

Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and large number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources, many based on their use in traditional medicine. Plants have a great potential for producing new drugs of great benefit to mankind. As a part of our drug discovery program, an effort to introduce new effectiv

To assess the nutritional status and the associated risk factors in preschool age children in the District Swabi of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP)-Pakistan. The studies included 140 children (both boys and girls) and were assessed for nutritional status using correlation analysis for association of malnutrition with parent’s income, fami

In the present study Supersonic similitude has been used to obtain stability derivatives in pitch and roll of a delta wing for the attached shock case. A strip theory is used in which strips at different span-wise locations are independent. This combines with the similitude to give a piston theory. The present theory is valid only for attached shoc

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships and effects of information, interaction and design qualities of travel and tour websites on Malaysian tourists’ usage satisfaction. This study adopted a convenience sampling method, employing self‐administered online questionnaire approach targeting Malaysian tourists who have used any t

Islam highlights the role of women not only in the household but also to engage in employment and business activities. It also protects women at the workplace by extending the societal norms that have been shunned for women. This paper shows a comprehensive view of the concept of workplace harassment and Islam while also clarifying some misconcepti

Peppermint oil (PO) is the most prominent oil using in pharmaceutical formulations with its significant therapeutic value. In this sense, this oil is attracting considerable attention from the scientific community due to its traditional therapeutic claim, biological and pharmacological potential in recent research. An organic solventfree and enviro
