Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, a recurring annual ritual, which is passionately practiced by most Muslims across the world. It is obligatory on every healthy Muslim; however, the Qur’an and Islamic teachings specifically exempt people with acute or chronic illnesses from this duty, especially if it might

Micro-Wire Electro-discharge machining (-WEDM) is a nonconventional machining technology which is extensively used for metal based micro fabrication process. This is a non-contact machining process where material removal is taken place by electro-thermal action. -WEDM process is difficult to be applied for semiconductor material like Silicon

Nanofluids have been extensively studied in the past to enhance the heat transfer performance and efficiency of systems. However, corrosion effects have been paid very little attention and thus this work presents an experimental study on the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on corrosion of three different metals under study such as aluminium alloy,

Public surveillance monitoring is rapidly finding its way into Intelligent Surveillance Systems. Street crimes such as snatch theft is increasing drastically in recent years, cause a serious threat to human life worldwide. In this paper, a moving object detection and classification model was developed using novel Artificial Neural Network (ANN) sim

A lack of macrophytes in aquatic ecosystem may suggest a reduced population of wildlife whereas the absence of macrophytes may indicate problems in water quality. However an overabundance of macrophytes may due to excessive nutrients, organic or heavy metals interference. Aquatic macrophytes are well known as a good accumulator for heavy metals in

The role of sound corporate governance in the banking industry is exacerbated following the disastrous effects of the Asian Financial Crisis and the Global Financial Crisis in in 1998 and 2008 respectively. A common theme to the crises was the tendency of banks to engage in risky business such as off-balance sheet and imprudent lending activities,

Video surveillance is an active research topic in computer vision. In this paper, humans and cars identification technique suitable for real time video surveillance systems is presented. The technique we proposed includes background subtraction, foreground segmentation, shadow removal, feature extraction and classification. The feature extraction o

This essay focuses on how members of the Malay community are characterised in Lloyd Fernando‟s Green is the Colour (1993) by highlighting the complexities and nuances surrounding Malay identity. Fernando‟s characterisation of Malays puts focus on discourses of identity and belonging that continue to dominate imaginaries on personal and national

In the last decades, there have been an increasing interest among the researchers to develop robots or robot parts that have close functionally and appearance as human. This paper presents the development of a pair of anthropomorphic robotic hand to perform shoe-tying task to assist the elderly and handicapped, and also for prosthetics and humanoid
