Mathematical modelling of gas bubbles and oil droplets in liquid media using optical linear path projection
(Elsevier Ltd., 2010-05-05)This paper describes mathematical modelling of oil droplets and gas bubbles in water. The light sources that are discussed are visible light radiation and infrared radiation. Gas bubbles or oil droplets less than 1 mm ... -
Measurement of the content of water using light penetration
(Penerbit UTM Press, 2014)In this paper we use an electronic component to produce light which is applied in testing soft tissue penetration. We used bio tissue, a slice of apple, and non-bio tissue, paper. The voltage could be adjusted to brighten ... -
Measuring Practical Intelligence: the hidden dimension of ‘hands-on’ laboratory assessment in engineering technology courses
(Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 2013)Laboratory classes are valuable learning experiences and it is expected that students might acquire explicit and tacit knowledge or practical intelligence. This research has attempted to show the possibility of measuring ... -
Methods and approaches on inferring human emotional stress changes through physiological signals: A review
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2013)Emotional stress is kind of stressful state which is developed due to the continuous occurrence of negative emotions such as sad, disgust, angry and fear over a long period of time. In this work, a detailed investigation ... -
Modeling orthogonal and rectilinear mixed-modality projection of optical tomography for solid-particles concentration measurement
(Elsevier B. V., 2010-06)In optical tomography, light attenuation/scattering methods have been used to determine average solids concentrations in gas-solids flows. Derived from the Lambert-Beer law, the Mie theory forms the theoretical basis for ... -
Modelling of multi-axial ultimate elastic wall stress (UEWS) test for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes
