Productivity is a very important concern now a day for an industry. Productivity improvement is a vital factor for continuous economic growth and increase in standard of living. Productivity can be improved through time and motion study. Time and motion study plays a very important role to improved productivity of an industry or any production sect

Engineering Education is facing new challenges to improve their outcomes toward higher quality to meet the job market demand and to keep abreast with current technologies. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is the key that might provide accountability and essential ingredient in this quality improvement effort. It is an analytical decision making

This paper presents the design of a passive RFID tag antenna operating at 2.45 GHz. The electromagnetic simulation software called CST is used for design and simulation. A high gain (5.842dB), a good impedance matching with the microchip (-30.0 dB Return Loss) and a satisfactory read range performance (upto 5 m) was obtained. One approach of design

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become great changes in all aspects of life nowadays. The technology developing day by day and ICT has been used widely across the world. In term of education, IT also changes the learning approach in some aspect. ICT infrastructure helps a lot in education aspect especially in the higher academ

Process modeling and optimization are two important issues in today’s manufacturing. It is important, in metal cutting, to select the machining parameters to ensure high quality of machining products, reduce machining costs and increase machining efficiency. Nowadays surface roughness and accuracy of product is getting greater attention in the in

The performance of an ordinary automobile engine was tested with several percentage of industrially made ethanol (99.8%) mixed with gasoline in IIUM Engine Test Bed. Without having any modification to the engine, a 1500 cc. Mitsubishi 4G 15 internal combustion four engine was tested with various percentages of ethanol mixed with gasoline starting t

EMG signal based research is ongoing for the development of simple, robust, user friendly, efficient interfacing devices/systems for the disabled. The advancement can be observed in the area of robotic devices, prosthesis limb, exoskeleton, wearable computer, I/O for virtual reality games and physical exercise equipments. Additionally, electromyogr

The Performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)combined with Phase Shift Keying (PSK) has been analyzed in presence of fiber optic dispersion. The influence of dispersion on the OFDM spectrum is investigated with fiber lengths, bit rates and source linewidths. The inter-channel interference occurs due to dispersion-induced broa

Hydroxyapatite (HA) powder has been prepared through mechanochemical synthesis from a dry powder mixture of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH4)2HPO4. Three different rotation speeds of 170 rpm (M1), 270 rpm (M2) and 370 rpm (M3) were used in this method. The as synthesized powder analyzed by FTIR and XRD confirmed the

Thermal analysis of hydroxyapatite formation through dry mechanochemical method has been studied. The calcium phosphate was synthesized using calcium hydroxide and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate as the precursors. The ball milling of 1/6 ball-powder mass ratio was employed on mixtures of calcium hydroxide and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate in three
