Kajian rintangan kakisan ke atas keluli bar tetulang dalam pes geopolimer
This study has been conducted to understand corrosion resistance on reinforcement bar in geopolymer. Geopolymer paste has been used as a substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete structures. Geopolymer paste ... -
Counterproductive work behavior among the public service sector employees in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Counterproductive work behavior is a major problem for organizations all over the world. It leads to negative outcomes and costs a lot for the companies. Despite the ubiquity of this issue, research works on the antecedents ... -
Energy management system controller integrated with solar photovoltaic for smart energy utilization
Continuous growth of global electrical energy consumption and the echo of global warming related issues have signaled research community to search an alternative way to generate and to efficiently manage the generated ... -
The effect of filler content and chemical modification on properties of polylactic acid/recycled low density polyethylene/nypa fruticans husk biocomposites
Nypa fruticans husk (NFH) filled polylactic acid (PLA)/recycled low density polyethylene (rLDPE) biocomposites had been prepared using Brabender Plasticoder EC PLUS at temperature 180˚C and rotor speed 50 rpm. The effect ... -
Effect of chemical modifications and electron beam irradiation on properties of corn cob filled chitosan biocomposite films
The chitosan (CS)/corn cob (CC) biocomposite films were prepared via solvent casting method. The effects of CC content, crosslinking agents such as glutaraldehyde (GLA), salicylaldehyde (SAL), epichlorohydrin (EP) and ... -
Boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid over a stretching/ shrinking sheet with suction and slip effect
In this thesis, the problem of steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking surface with the velocity slip boundary condition and suction is considered. The fluid that considered in this study, ... -
Hybrid method of fuzzy homotopy and runge kutta fehlberg method for solving fuzzy nonlinear equations
The system of fuzzy nonlinear equations plays an important role in solving real-world problems. However, to solve the system of fuzzy nonlinear equations is not an easy task. This is patently obvious when dealing with ... -

A study in the theory of geometric functions of a complex variable
This thesis deals with various types of analytic geometric functions in the open unit disk, such as normalized, meromorphic, p-valent, harmonic, and fractional analytic functions. Five problems are discussed. First, the ... -
An improved mobile robot based gas source localization with temperature and humidity compensation via slam and gas distribution mapping
This research is concerned with the problem of localizing gas source in indoor environment using a mobile robot. The problem could be seen as similar to the event of hazardous gas leak in a building. Since the environment ... -
The evolution of microstructures and properties due to materials tool interaction during friction stir welding of similar and dissimilar al and Cu alloys
In this work, main similar (6061 aluminum alloy) and dissimilar (commercially pure aluminum and copper) materials were butt joined via friction-stir welding (FSW). The influence of FSW parameters, namely, small pin geometry, ... -
Investigation of nonlinear feature extraction techniques for facial emotion recognition
Over the last decades, facial emotion recognition has received a significant interest among researchers in areas of computer vision, pattern recognition and its related field. The increasing applications of facial emotion ... -
Implementation of feature selection and weighting methods for emotion recognition from human actions
Emotion is a natural, instinctive state of mind emanating from one's circumstances, mood or relationships with others. Emotion can be characterized primarily by the psycho-physiological expressions, biological reactions, ... -
Design and development of a thought controlled intelligent robot chair with communication aid
The fundamental movements like walking and speech communications are the basic needs of human beings in their daily life. Differentially Enabled (DE) communities have functional limitations that vary from primary/complicated ... -
A visual tracking range of motion assessment system for lower limb joint
Accurate range of motion (ROM) measurement of lower limb joint motion is important for assessing the severity of human lower limb injuries. It is essential for assisting the medical doctor and physiotherapist to determine ... -
Measurement on strain rate sensitivity properties of rice husk/ linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) composites under various loading rates
The dynamic compression testing and static compression testing were performed using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus and a conventional Universal Testing Machine (UTM), respectively. These two techniques were ... -
