ABSTRACT Previous research has consistently shown that the implementation of BIM has brought tremendous benefits to clients. A number of countries around the world especially among the developed nations have realized the vast opportunities that BIM brings and have thus been investing to develop their own capability. In Malaysia, BIM is still in the infancy […]

ABSTRACT Cable manufacturing company is using upward die casting machine to produce 8mm diameter copper wires. Copper sheets are melted in induction furnace. Copper melting temperature is 1089°C. In order to avoid oxidization and stop heat dissipation of copper liquid, a layer of wood charcoal is floating on top of the copper liquid while burning […]

ABSTRACT Image Mosaicing is an active research area in computer vision and computer graphics. Image mosaicing is the process of combining two or more images of the same scene into one high resolution image which is called panoramic image mosaicing. Image mosaicing techniques can be categorized into two general approaches: direct and feature based techniques. […]

ABSTRACT Gamma-Alumina (γ – Al2O3) reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/Ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM) blends have been developed. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/Ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM) based nanocomposites having 1, 2, 3, and 4 Phr γ – Al2O3 were synthesized via co-rotated intermeshing twin-screw extruder. Structure and properties of TPU/EPDM based nanocomposites are composed. The surface functionalised by aminopropyl […]

ABSTRACT The Content-based image re-ranking system retrieves the images by evaluating the visual features of the images. As there is a gap between visual concept and semantic meaning, the result does not show accuracy. To deal with this problem, the image re-ranking using semantic signature is used. The universal data set is reduced to semantic […]

ABSTRACT Contamination of soil is a serious environmental issue from past decades & removal of contaminants from soil may be costly or time taking. The nature of the electrostatic potential near the surface of a particle is known as Zeta Potential. Zeta Potential is determined by measuring the velocity of the particles in a D.C. […]

ABSTRACT This investigation is aimed to utilize the benefits of self-curing compound poly ethylene glycol 600 in conventional concrete. The present investigation involves the use of self-curing compound Polyethylene glycol (PEG) of molecular weight 600 for varying dosages ranging between 0.1-2 percent. The strength class 30 MPa was considered. Workability tests such as slump test, […]

ABSTRACT A simple state feedback method for satellite trajectory design on a halo orbit is developed. The communication link using satellite trajectory control is from the earth to the satellite and then to the far side of the moon. The nonlinearities inherent to the halo orbit problem are treated as trajectory-dependent, persistent disturbance inputs. A […]

ABSTRACT At the end of the 1960s, a collaboration of physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) studied the inner structure of nucleons by passing a high-energy beam of electrons through liquid hydrogen. In the mid-1980s experimental results indicated that essentially none of a nucleon’s spin was attributable […]

ABSTRACT Electrically small metamaterial antenna of zeroth order resonance incorporating a spiral resonator embedded into an asymmetric coplanar stripline is reported. The proposed antenna exhibits frequency reconfigurability of 1:1.47. The performance of the proposed antenna is compared with reported metamaterial antenna of comparable dimensions and found to be better. [Full Text: PDF]
