This study designed to eval

Beneficiation of Malaysian iron ore is becoming necessary as iron resources are depleting. However, the upgrading process is challenging because of the weak magnetic properties of Malaysian iron ore. In this study, bio-char derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) was utilized as an energy source for reduction roasting. Mixtures of Malaysian i

In this paper, a new approach of genetic algorithm called knowledge-based Genetic Algorithm (KBGA-Clustering) is proposed for multidimensional data clustering. Basically, this method adopts knowledge of what called as appropriate cluster centre for a fixed number of kcluster. The chromosome which has inappropriate genes will be penalised with maxim

Contrast Detail phantom is used to evaluate the Contrast Detail performance of imaging system. The wall of drilled hole in commercial Contrast Detail phantom will give effect to the penetration of x-ray beam divergence to pass through the base of each hole. This effect will lead to false appearance of image but it does not visualised in the radiogr
