Compressive properties of expandable rigid polyurethane foam for use in an analogue spine
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
This study examines the potential of expandable polyurethane foam to replicate trabecular bone in spinal testing. The research is intended to determine whether an expandable polyurethane foam as substitute to the rigid ...
Simulation and characterization of MEMS piezoelectric thermal actuator
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The development of low cost MEMS devices has been the main focus in recent years. This leads to discovery of MEMS materials and suitable devices. Magnetostatic and electrostatic actuators produce relatively small forces; ...
Computational analysis of hemodynamic effect on mismatch end-to-end reverse saphenous vein graft diameters
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
Artery reconstruction in upper extremities is rare performed compared to the incidence of reconstruction in lower extremities. Primary vascular repair was performed in many cases. An interposition vein graft or venous ...
Variable structure system with sliding mode controller
(Malaysian Technical Universities Network (MTUN), 2012-11-20)
This paper describes the application of sliding mode variable structure control (SMVSC) concept for DC motor position control. A mathematical procedure for determining the values of the gains of variable structure system ...
The antimicrobial susceptibility characteristics of Cronobacter sakazakii in comparison to other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
Bacteria displaying antimicrobial resistance pose a significant global healthcare predicament. Studies have reported an association between increases in mortality, duration of hospitalisation, cost of health care and the ...
Effect of mixing sequences on the properties of porous epoxy using toluenea as a soaking medium
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The effect of mixing sequences on the properties of the porous epoxy was investigated.
Mechanical stirring technique was used to produce porous epoxy. The latex content was evaluated from
0.5 to 2 phr. The first series ...
Challenges in developing a driver monitoring system
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
For safe journey, the behavior of the driver has to be monitored. Statistics prove that most of the road accidents are due to driver abnormal behavior like drowsiness, inattention and drunk and drive. If a monitoring system ...
Review article: Introducing the lung sounds
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
Lung is one of the most crucial part in human body. Ever since the invention of stethoscope, lung auscultation had been very important ever since. By listening to lung sound, lung diseases can be detected and monitored ...
Effects of long chain fatty acids oleic and linoleic, on the growth of the cariogenic bacterium streptococcus mutans
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
Objective- This study evaluated the efficacy of long-chain fatty acids, Oleic (C18:1) and Linoleic
(C18:2) acid on the growth of Streptococcus mutans. S. mutans is one of the primary etiological
agents associated with ...
