Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, whi

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) resulting in red discoloration of coastal waters in Sepanggar Bay, off Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia, were first observed in January 2005. The species responsible for the bloom, which was identified as Cochlodinium polykrikoides, coincided with fish mortalities in cage-cultures. Determinations of cell density betwe

This paper shall firstly presents the nanotechnology research, investment, education, etc. in the developed countries such as North America, European Union, Japan, etc. Then, the present activities and future action plan for Malaysian nanotechnology were compared. This was done as Malaysia is a fast developing country with its promising vision of 2

In recent years, with the increasing demands of security in our networked society, biometric systems for user verification are becoming more popular. Iris recognition system is a new technology for user verification. In this paper, the CASIA iris database is used for individual user’s verification by using support vector machines (SVMs) which bas

A lab scale study was carried out to produce cellulase enzyme using two types of media: Media B consist of domestic wastewater sludge (DWS), microgranullar cellulose and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and Media M consist of DWS, microgranullar cellulose, oil palm EFB and addition of methanol. The 3% (v/v) inoculum of Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 (

This paper discussed focused ion beam micro nano machining to fabricate MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) such as optical elements, trimming of atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, nanopillar, micromilling tool, microcavity for replication is discussed. The trimmed AFM tip was tested in measurement and imaging of high aspect ratio nanopillars whe

The proposed RFID traffic control avoids problems that usually arise with standard traffic control systems, especially those related to image processing and beam interruption techniques. This RFID technique deals with a multi-vehicle, multilane, multi road junction area. It provides an efficient time management scheme, in which a dynamic time sched

This article discusses the investigation and optimization of the process parameters of conventional wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of a copper substrate for microfabrication. The effect of discharge current, pulse-on time, and gap voltage on surface finish were studied. The average surface roughness (R a ) and peak-to-valley height (R t

Exact reliability evaluation of large size complex networks becomes intractable with conventional techniques due to the exponential scaling of the computation complexity as the size of network scales up. In this paper we develop a scalable model for the exact evaluation of system reliability of scalable complex networks of the n-tuple bridge type b

Development gaps happen when there is a difference in either the per capita income or other social development between countries or regions. The enlargement process in the ASEAN widened further the existing developmental gap. Using GDP per capita, HDI index and information technology data, this paper examines the extent of the developmental gap in
