neuro-Based thumb-Tip Force and Joint Angle Modeling for Development of Prosthetic Thumb Control
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Human fingers have a specific role that contributes to different hand functions. Among these fingers, the thumb plays the most special function as an anchor to many hand activities. As a result, the loss of the thumb due to traumatic accidents can be catastrophic as proper hand function will be severely limited. In order to solve this problem, a pr

Analysis of Real Time Video Traffic for Enhanced Distributed Channel Access Over Wlan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a study of an Enhanced Distributed Channel Access method (EDCA) in the IEEES02.11e standard and enhanced protocol. The protocol is evaluated under different network loads for real-time applications using MPEG-4 video traffic, and then compared with the earlier legacy IEEE 802.11 DCF access method. A Simulation using Network Simu
