Assessing engineering students’ practical intelligence as the outcome of performing ‘hands-on’ laboratory classes
(Penerbit UTM, 2013)Experience in an engineering laboratory is important for engineering students and expected to enhance understanding of engineering concepts for which they have learned the theory. Although the aim of the laboratory is an ... -
A hybrid expert system approach for telemonitoring of vocal fold pathology
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Acoustical parameters extracted from the recorded voice samples are actively pursued for accurate detection of vocal fold pathology. Most of the system for detection of vocal fold pathology uses high quality voice samples. ... -
Objective evaluation of speech dysfluencies using wavelet packet transform with sample entropy
(Elsevier Inc, 2013-05)Dysfluency and stuttering are a break or interruption of normal speech such as repetition, prolongation, interjection of syllables, sounds, words or phrases and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in communication. Stuttering ... -
Identification of limiting friction coefficient towards improved hip prostheses
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Wear generated by the presence of friction on hip joint contact surfaces can cause debris, which may lead to loosening and failure of the hip prostheses. The objective of this study is to examine the limiting friction ... -
