This Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been widely used to capture brain signals for affective recognition through computational modelling of affective states based on valence, arousal and dominance. Not until recently wireless EEG machines are introduced to record brain signals during physical activities and high range of mobility. Nevertheless, such

This paper focuses on the development of a zirconia-toughened alumina ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 ceramic composite by means of microwave sintering at 2.45 GHz within the range 1200 °C–1400 °C, with a dwell time of 5–20 min. It is aimed at attaining improved microstructure and properties at a lower sintering temperature and shorter soaking time, compared

This paper presents an optimization work on hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain using Genetic Algorithm (GA) method. It focused on optimization of the parameters of powertrain components including supercapacitors to obtain maximum fuel economy. Vehicle modelling is based on Quasi-Static-Simulation (QSS) backward-facing approach. A combined cit

The relationship between greenspace and health is important to be explored because it relates to health issues, which are prevalent among city citizens. Urban greenspace can improve residents' lifestyle for healthier living. The paper presents a review of evidence that links greenspace and health through various conceptual models. The literatur

In this paper, passively Q-switched fiber laser is demonstrated and the laser output energy is stabilized by using 2.4 m Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a graphene oxide used as saturable absorber (GO-SA). According to the experimental results in the Q-switched configuration, the laser cavity emits a wavelength centered at 1,558.75nm, and by i

This study examined TESL pre-service teachers’ motivation level to integrate critical thinking in their teaching and the influence of ‘year of study’ towards their motivation. A total of 106 TESL students from a Malaysian public university participated in a questionnaire survey that measures motivation on a 5-point Likert scale. The data were

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the drivers of the behaviour intention to use the Silver-Backed Mobile Payment System (SBMPS) among the residents of Kattankudy, Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach Based on technology adoption model theory, a conceptual framework was devised, which was later tested via structural equation mode

The air industry is very competitive. Operating costs are high. To survive and earn profits, it is imperative for airlines to save substantial costs. This can come from selling tickets online. However, in many developing countries including Malaysia, a lot of consumers still refuse to buy flights online. Perceived risk of the internet is a key like

Numerous studies comparing native and non-native English teachers have found that ESL students prefer native teachers for teaching speaking skills and pronunciation. In other words, non-native teachers are viewed as less superior in matters related to spoken language. This study explores international students' views on spoken English of Malays

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been the interest in many researchers. It has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Quadrotor UAV is a small helicopter and is highly unstable without any flight controller. Therefore, a proper control on the UAV’s dynamic need to be applied for stabilization. An accurate model of the vehicle dynamics
