Developing and less developing countries (LDCs) are identified in risk of stillbirth due to insufficient emergency medical take-care supports. The regular check-up of the fetal electrocardiography (FECG) could be an earliest prevention of this occurrence. This paper presents a research work aim to implement a simple, customize and portable emergenc

The production of palm oil results in the generation of huge quantities of polluting wastewater commonly known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). POME is a thick brownish liquid that contains high amount of total solids, oil and grease, chemical oxidation demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and if not properly treated, can disrupt the nat

Comprehensive comparison on quarter-car, half-car and full-car models were conducted to analyze the effect of using semiactive control policies, namely skyhook, groundhook and hybrid controls, in improving ride quality of passenger vehicle. Sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection and tire deflection responses were analyzed for measurements

This paper presents experimental results carried out to evaluate brake thermal efficiency and fuel consumption by gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG). In this experiment a 4-cylinders gasoline engine has been modified to bi-fuel engine, then the engine is operated for the condition of fixed load condition to obtain same brake power output fro

This study seeks to describe the teachers’ professional development activities in Bangladesh and explores the hypotheses about the relationship between teachers’ traditional professional development activities and school improvement. Data from a representative sample of City secondary schools from Bangladesh (n = 127) were gathered through ques

This paper presents the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) of an air-cushion system for a swamp peat terrain vehicle and describes the process by which it functions. Cushion pressure is controlled by an electronic proportional control valve and FLC using the output signal of the distance (height) measuring sensor that was attached to the vehicle. The mai

This research designs a new walking support system for the blind people in order to navigate without any assistance from others or using any guide cane. With the help of this device, a user can move independently and able to walk freely almost like a normal person. In this research, a belt for blind wearable around the waist is equipped with four u

Modeling of the dynamic behavior and motion are renewed interest in the improved tractive performance of an intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle (IACTV). This paper presents a new dynamical model for the forces on the developed small scale intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle moving over swamp peat. The air cushion system partially supports t

This paper presents the control system of cushion pressure for the developed intelligent air-cushion track vehicle (IACTV) for operating on swamp terrain and wet fields. A novel auto-adjusting supporting system is designed for the vehicle’s intelligent air-cushion system. Focusing on minimizing the total power demand of the vehicle, an optimizati

This paper presents the fuzzy logic control system of an air-cushion tracked vehicle (ACTV) operating on swamp peat terrain. Vehicle vertical position is maintained by using an inflated air-cushion system attached with the vehicle. It is desired that the vehicle vertical position be maintained at a desired position so that vehicle obtains sufficien
