Existing RGB-D object recognition methods either use channel specific handcrafted features, or learn features with deep networks. The former lack representation ability while the latter require large amounts of training data and learning time. In real-time robotics applications involving RGB-D sensors, we do not have the luxury of both. In this pap

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have historically been considered as the main player in domestic economic activities, as they provide a large number of total business establishment, employment and hence generating primary or secondary source of income for many households including in Indonesia.

Background: The National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2011 estimated that 35.1% (5.7 million) of Malaysian adults aged 18 and older suffer from hypertension. Hypertension is still treated by conventional medicine despite its exact aetiology being unknown. Studies showed that oxidative stress and low availability of nitric oxide (NO) causes an inc

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common cause of amputations in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the predictive factors for major lower limb amputation among patients with type 2 DM (T2DM) who were admitted to a hospital, in order to reduce its likelihood. METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 218 patients with T2DM who were admitted

The proposed placement of Avicennia L. into Acanthaceae had been made based only on molecular data. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether anatomical leaf characteristics of the Avicennia species support this placement. This study also aims to determine the leaf anatomical characteristics and their taxonomic value for some selec

Introduction Management of segmental tibial defect depends not only on clinical ground but also the acceptance and patients social circumstances . The incidence of pin site infection is higher during high temperature season. In our center, autologous bone grafting stabilized with plate osteosynthesis is the preferred method of managing tibial defec

We report a case of a 38 year-old engineer presented with left ankle pain for 2 years and initially treated as gouty arthritis because of high serum uric acid. A year later his left ankle become swollen and plain radiograph showed soft tissue swelling around the ankle with normal articular surface and bone. An MRI investigation reported as gouty ar

Femtocell is a recently developed technology in cellular wireless networks, which extends network coverage indoors, and is used to serve a small number of users. Synchronisation is one of the most significant technical challenges in femtocell networks and it guarantees an acceptable clock offset and frequency error (skew). Clock offset and skew lea
