Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare, with an incidence of about 0.06–1.3 percent of all patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation. They are commonly asymptomatic, but potentially serious lesions may lead to myocardial ischaemia, infarction and/or sudden cardiac death. The occurrence of a concomitant stenotic lesion is exceedingly rare

Background The prevalence of hypertension in Malaysia is alarmingly high. The National Survey in 2006 showed 43% of people above 30 years old have hypertension and only 8% reached target blood pressure (BP) of <140/90 mmHg. Among treated patients, only 26% reached target BP. We aimed to evaluate BP control among hypertensives attending Speciali

In the present study, ultrasound-assisted extraction of crude oil from winter melon seeds was investigated through response surface methodology (RSM). Process variables were power level (25–75%), temperature (45–55 °C) and sonication time (20–40 min). It was found that all process variables have significant (p < 0.05) effects on the resp

Human face and hand detection, recognition and tracking are important research areas for many computer interaction applications. Face and hand are considered as human skin blobs, which fall in a compact region of colour spaces. Limitations arise from the fact that human skin has common properties and can be defined in various colour spaces after ap

This research introduces a survey on the impact of the existing and developed Automatic Sign Language Translator (ASLT) and Speech Translator (ST) systems on the hearing/speech impaired societies. The objective of the study is to examine whether these automatic systems are able to split the communication barriers between hearing/speech impaired peo

An algorithm for undertaking indoor localisation of multi-robot reconnaissance mission through collaboration has been presented in this paper. A set of communication techniques, an algorithm for sharing behavior for positioning of agent robots, and appropriate attitude which is useful for a group of robots to work together, are developed for collab
