Enhancement of engine performance by studying the effect of cam profiles design on Modenas motorcycle using 1-D simulation analysis
In the automotive industry, enhancing and improving the engine performance is one of the major work for improving the overall performance of the engine and vehicle. Every iteration of the engine, will overcome the issues ... -
Optimal control of the attitude maneuvering for Razaksat class satellite based on rigid and flexible model
The increase in demand for performance for satellite capabilities has pushed the design of the system to be more and more power consuming. This is the case for RazakSAT-2, which is a new satellite program that will be ... -
pH estimation of fetal scalp blood using magnetic induction spectroscopy technique
This thesis describes the development of fetal scalp pH estimation utilizing magnetic induction spectroscopy technique. Magnetic induction spectroscopy is a non-invasive approach that applies a magnetic field to determine ... -
Non-invasive jaundice measurement using magnetic induction spectroscopy technique
Neonatal jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and other tissues of newborn infants. The vast majority of newborn infants suffers from jaundice during their first week of life. Therefore, the heel puncture technique is used ... -
Performance evaluation of shell-and-double concentric tube heat exchanger
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHEX) have been used for several decades. Conventionally to increase the thermo-hydraulic performance of classical heat exchangers, overall length of tubes has to be increased. This contributes ... -
Analysis of muscle activity during contractions in the three heads of the triceps branchii using surface electromyography
Among all the upper extremity skeletal muscles, the three headed (lateral, long and medial) triceps brachii (TB) is considered as the muscle most responsible for normal and sports activities. In this research, we recorded ... -
Classification of respiratory pathology from pulmonary acoustic signals based on respiratory cycle segmentation and two-stage classification
Auscultation is the process of listening to the internal sounds of the body using a stethoscope. This process provides vital information on the present state of the internal organs, such as the heart, lungs and the ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of hydrothermal effect on mechanical properties of adhesively bonded T-joint
The moisture environment is a significant problem in designing the adhesive joint in any application. Urea fluidisation bed was washed with hot condense water thus created moisture environmental factor. This situation was ... -
Investigation of Touch based perception for manipulating object by using glovemap
The development in use of technology is increased due to the need of public demand in their daily life. User friendly technology tools can help people more in handling and preparing for assignment in their lives. This ... -
Crushing behaviour of glass fibre/epoxy composite pipes: the effects of winding angles, ageing, and temperatures
The effects of hydrothermal ageing on the crushing behaviour of glass fibre-reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes are discussed. Pipes with three different winding angles (±45°, ±55°, ±63°) were manufactured using the filament ... -
Development of gesture database for an adaptive gesture recognition system
Human gestural motion is one of the areas in studying human behaviour regardless the physical capability and intellectuality of each individual. In this research, the focus is to investigate human physical characteristics ... -
Feature extraction and classification algorithms for assessing muscle condition using multi sensors
Hamstring muscle strain injury is the most common injuries in sport environment especially in football. Beside sport, dancing is another physical activity that has high risk for hamstring muscle strain injuries. Muscle ... -
Fabrication and characterization of tissue engineering scaffold based of nanohydroxyapatite - local rice starches
Bone tissue scaffold had been ventured for over the decades as a solution for bone failure and trauma. Starch is the most common natural polymer that has been used as a biomaterials and a good candidate for scaffold ... -
Characterization of quartz crystal microbalance sensor for detection of bacteria inactivation after plasma treatment
This thesis presents a study of frequency response for detection of inactive bacteria using Quartz Crystal Microbalance sensor. The characteristics of frequency response towards detection of bacteria were discussed. The ... -
Simulation of breast cancer imaging using magnetic induction tomography
In order to reduce the physical trauma caused by breast compressions, exposure to radiations and the high price of diagnostic tests, a new cost effective magnetic induction tomography (MIT) system is proposed to identify ... -
Multi sensor system for classifying Harumanis mango based on external and internal quality
This thesis presents a multi sensor system for classifying Harumanis mango based on its external and internal quality. Both external and internal quality of Harumanis mango affects the consumer buying preferences. Current ... -
Design of arm movement for upper limb after stroke rehabilitation using enhanced VR-based
Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer from stroke attack. Nearly six million dead and another five million are left permanently disabled. According to National Stroke Association of Malaysia (NASAM), stroke is the ... -
