With the advancement of wireless technology, our dependency on smart system has increases to a higher level than before. Without doubt, integration between different technologies becomes inevitable in order create affordable surveillance system. This paper presents the development of with web-based surveillance system with a dedicated Android-based

Hybrid electric vehicles have become increasingly popular recently. Switching from internal combustion engine to battery as a clean source of energy is considered as a solution to reduce city pollution due to vehicle emissions. PHEV is a viable balance between the two sources of energy to achieve higher fuel economy with lower emissions. For a mult

Roll control reversal of a variable swept wing is investigated in the present paper. The wing model is based on the Rodden-Love forward swept wing which is modified in the present work so that it can swept forward and backward. The flexural and torsional wing flexibilities are considered in the analysis so that their influence on the aileron contro

A novel hydrogen (H-2) sensor was developed using acid-etched optical fiber coated with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. The sensing performance was done by comparing the acid-etched fiber coated with ZnO nanorods with and without decorated Palladium (Pd). The conventional optical single-mode fiber (SMF) with a diameter of 125 mu m has been modified as a

Current growth in aquaculture production is parallel with the increasing number of disease outbreaks, which nega-tively affect the production, profitability, and sustainability of the global aquaculture industry. Vibriosis is among themost common diseases leading to massive mortality of cultured shrimp,fish, and shellfish in Asia. High incidence of

This chapter attempts to determine the factors that affect trade by investigating the international trade structure of Oman with her five major trading partners namely China, USA, Singapore, Japan and Korea. It employs scaled and unscaled gravity model on a series of bilateral trade flows using time series and panel estimations during the period of

Urbanization has been a key driver of Malaysia’s success in economic growth. Yet growing challenges in urban mobility dampen the benefits of urbanization and threaten Malaysia’s ambitions of becoming a sustainable and inclusive high-income nation. Over the years, in big cities and towns, the mobility of people has been greatly affected because

Despite being the largest arm of the Malaysian Islamic financial sector, the Malaysian Islamic banking system has always been an active target of critics for the lack of structural reforms to fortify core Islamic values, such as, risk-sharing and real sector growth. Often, the blame is thickly laid on strategic management entities, such as the exec

Gelatine as the product of collagen extraction from animals is widely used in the food industry. In a glance, the physical properties of gelatine from several sources such as fish, bovine and porcine are similar. Therefore, distinguishing between the sources of gelatine is a tedious task. The differentiation of the gelatine from its sources require

The Bees Algorithm is a population-based optimisation algorithm inspired by the food foraging behaviour of honey bees. Over the years, this algorithm has been successfully applied to many optimisation problems. In order to enhance its accuracy and convergence rate, it is proposed to employ the Nelder and Mead (NM) method to implement the local sear
