Red emission, upconversion and intensity parameters of erbium oxide doped tellurite glass for laser glass
Muhammad Noorazlan Abd Azis
This work presents the effect of erbium oxide in tellurite glass on the intensity parameters, emission and upconversion to be used as laser glass. We select 0.04�mol fraction of erbium oxide in tellurite glass as it gives the optimum results for glass stability, luminescence and intensity parameters. The structural arrangement of glass matrices was revealed by XRD analysis. The amorphous structural arrangement was found and there was no crystalline structure existed in the glass matrix. The FTIR analysis revealed the existence of TeO3 non-bridging oxygen which has important role in the shifting of the optical parameters. The Judd?Ofelt analysis (intensity parameters, ?? = 2, 4, 6) were studied by applying nine transition states obtained from UV?Vis-NIR absorption spectrum which were 4G11/2 + 2H9/2 + 4F5/2 + 4F7/2 + 2H11/2 + 4S3/2 + 4F9/2 + 4I9/2 + 4I11/2. The obtained results for the intensity parameters were in accordance by the following trends ?2 > ?4 > ?6. A broad red emission at.....

Red blood cell shapes parameterization using partial differential equations
Norhayati Ahmat
The research aim's is to produce distinguishable shapes of red blood cells (RBC) by utilizing partial differential equations (PDE). This work employs the solution of a fourth-order elliptic PDE in alliance with a group of boundary conditions as a technique to design the shapes, known as the PDE method. This method can generate various surfaces based on a boundary representation with fewer parameters. Furthermore, it is easy to modify the shape of PDE-based surfaces because it is characterized by data scattered around the boundaries. The findings showed that the PDE method is suitable in designing a normal RBC's shape. In addition, two equations have been obtained from the data regarding the normal RBC's radius and height. These equations can be utilized to transform the parametric design of RBC to abnormal cells by changing the value of some parameters. In conclusion, the PDE method is capable to create smooth parametric surface representations of any given blood cells shape, as well a.....

Real-time sign language framework based on wearable device: analysis of MSL, DataGlove, and gesture recognition
Alamoodi, Abdullah Hussein
Researchers have been inspired to use technology to enable people with hearing and speech impairment to communicate and engage with others around them. Sensory approach to recognition facilitates real-time and accurate recognition of signs. Thus, this study proposes a Malaysian Sign Language (MSL) recognition framework. The framework consists of three sub-modules for the recognition of static isolated signs based on data collected from a DataGlove. The first module focuses on the characteristics of signs, yielding sign recognition system requirements. The second module describes the different steps required to develop a wearable sign-capture device. The third module discusses the real-time SL recognition approach, which uses a template-matching algorithm to recognize acquired data. The final design of the DataGlove with 65 data channel fulfils the requirement identified from an analysis of MSL. The DataGlove is able to record data for all of the signs (both dynamic and static) of MSL d.....

Real-time information sharing, customer orientation, and the exploration of intra-service industry differences: Malaysia as an emerging market
Akhtar, Pervaiz
Differences in business practices and preferences are vital for understanding specific industries, particularly in relation to downstream operations in emerging markets. This study explores the effects of real-time information sharing (RTIS) on downstream operations in three service sub-sectors that are dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - wholesale & retail, food & beverages, and accommodation. Drawing on information processing theory, we examine the differences in the adoption and perceived benefits for customers of RTIS through a survey of 221 middle-level managers from Malaysia. Our findings indicate that, overall, RTIS is significantly associated with customer purchase behavior (PB) in the presence of customer orientation (CO) that plays a two-fold mediating role in purchase and repurchase behavior. Our results also point to sectoral differences. RTIS?with customer PB and post-purchase behavior in the presence of CO?is more effective in the wholesale & retail a.....

Readability formulas: an analysis into reading index of prose forms
Gopal, Revathi
Text comprehension will suffer if the readability level is not accessible to the students. Readability formulas predict text complexity, assisting in appropriate text selection that complements students? reading abilities to improve their language development. Therefore, the study aims to find out the reading index of the prose forms in the literature component catered to lower secondary school students ages 13 and 14 years old in Form One (seventh grade) and Form Two (eighth grade) classrooms in Malaysia. The reading index is measured by using four readability formulas which are Dale-Chall, Fog, SMOG, and Flesch-Kincaid that focuses on the words, sentences, syllables, and polysyllable words. These formulas are used to predict the level of difficulty of the prose forms. The reading index calculated from these readability formulas reveals the grade level of the prose forms. The grade level indicates the best age for reading and understanding the prose forms. Two prose forms were chosen .....

Quantitative salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis risk assessment from consumption of hard-boiled eggs, half-boiled eggs and raw eggs among Malaysians
Wong, Junxian
High occurrences of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis outbreak from table eggs have been reported worldwide over the past two decades. Consumptions of hard-boiled and half-boiled eggs are popular among Malaysians. However, there is a lack of study in the risk assessment of salmonellosis associated with different egg consumption patterns. The purpose of this study was to determine the survival rate of S. enterica ser. Enteritidis in different methods for cooking eggs (hard-boiled, half-boiled and a minimally cooked egg with hot cocoa drink) using the simulation model of consumers eating habits and the risk associated with different egg consumptions patterns. In this study, S. enterica ser. Enteritidis was not detected in the hard-boiled egg samples. However, the survival rate of S. enterica ser. Enteritidis in both the half-boiled and the raw egg samples were 3.15 log CFU/mL and 7.01 log CFU/mL, respectively. The Monte Carlo Simulation applying quantitative microbial risk assessme.....
