Published: January 2019

<p>A solar thermal heating technology has a great potential in industries application. This paper presents a prediction of Malaysian industries acceptance on the solar thermal heating system for replacing the current heating technologies. In Malaysia, most of the heating technologies are using fossil fuel as a heating source due to the low price of the source. The solar thermal is another type of sustainable renewable energy. The objective of this research is to produce a Malaysian industries acceptance model in order to study the willingness of the Malaysian industries to migrate and use the new renewable energy technologies in their heating process. System dynamic simulation has been used to develop the novel solar thermal heating acceptance model by using the survey data collected from process industries in Malaysia. The focus of the research is in low and medium temperature categories of the solar thermal system since most of the process industries in Malaysia are involving with low and medium temperature in the heating process. The System Dynamic model was designed to predict the investment decision taken by the industries based on investment decision rules. The results with current support from the government show that the Malaysian industries acceptance towards solar thermal heating technologies is low. To enhance the willingness among the industries, a new policy on solar thermal energy application for industries properly need to be tailored. </p>

Published: January 2019

<p><em>A single series resonant converter has been designed to balance the voltage level of a storage battery for electric vehicles. The proposed design has been simulated and verified by using two 100F supercapacitors instate of the conventional rechargeable battery. A voltage monitoring circuit detects the voltage condition of the individual capacitor and sends the voltage status to the control circuit for action. A technique has been developed to control a set of switches to transfer the current between the capacitor to balance the voltage level. The MATLAB simulated result shows the balancing circuit decreases the voltage difference between the two supercapacitors from 200 mV to 0V in 140 seconds, which is less than the existing methods. This fast voltage balancing technique can be used in the battery management system or electric vehicles for long lasting the battery life.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Voltage balancing; electric vehicles; supercapacitor; battery; series resonant converter</em>

<p>One important application in computer vision is detection of objects. One important application in computer vision is detection of objects. This paper discusses detection of fingertips by using Histogram of Gradients (HOG) as the feature descriptor and Support Vector Machines (SVM) as the classifier. The SVM is trained to produce a classifier that is able to distinguish whether an image contains a fingertip or not. A total of 4200 images were collected by using a commercial-grade webcam, consisting of 2100 fingertip images and 2100 non-fingertip images, were used in the experiment. Our work evaluates the performance of the fingertip detection and the effects of the cell’s size of the HOG and the number of the training data have been studied. It has been found that as expected, the performance of the detection is improved as the number of training data is increased. Additionally, it has also been observed that the 10 x 10 size gives the best results in terms of accuracy in the detection. The highest classification accuracy obtained was less than 90%, which is thought mainly due to the changing orientation of the fingertip and quality of the images. </p>

<p> This study proposed a novel method of stress recognition using photopletysmogram (PPG) signal. PPG devices are now widely used because it is convenient, low powered, cheap and also easy to handle due to its small size. A total of 5 subjects were involved in this study. The PPG signals were taken in resting condition using pulse oximetry. The subject then goes through a stressor test in order to record the physiological changes. The data were collected before and after the test was conducted and later extracted. These samples were then categorised using classification techniques to differentiate between normal and stress condition. Based on the experimentation results, the systolic peak value differences of normal and stress conditions are evident.Therefore, the outcome of this study suggest the reliability of implementing PPG signal for stress recognition.</p>

Authors: Periyasamy C. 
Published: January 2019

<p>Drawback of losing high frequency components suffers the resolution enhancement. In this project, wavelet domain based image resolution enhancement technique using Dual Tree M-Band Wavelet Transform (DTMBWT) is proposed for resolution enhancement of the satellite images. Input images are decomposed by using DTMBWT in this proposed enhancement technique. Inverse DTMBWT is used to generate a new resolution enhanced image from the interpolation of high-frequency sub band images and the input low-resolution image. Intermediate stage has been proposed for estimating the high frequency sub bands to achieve a sharper image. It has been tested on benchmark images from public database. Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and visual results show the dominance of the proposed technique over the predictable and state-of-art image resolution enhancement techniques.</p>

Published: January 2019

<p>Most numerical studies on flow over buildings simplify the geometry of the roof and assume that it is flat. This may lead to misrepresentation of the flow as the roof of actual buildings contains some sort of roughness. In this study, the flow over the administrative building of Universiti Tenaga Nasional is investigated for multidirectional flow conditions. The actual topology of the building is gridded and simulated using the steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. Four points at the top of the building are identified and the wind statistics at these designated locations at three different heights are investigated. The optimal location with the highest average wind speed and consistent wind speeds for all wind angles is identified and is earmarked as a potential location to install the wind turbine.</p><p><em> </em></p>

<span>Handover, as a resource consuming process, is an important issue in mobile communications which can highly affect the overall performance of the LTE networks. Since the handover process mainly relies on four main entry condition parameters, optimizing these parameters will in turn improve the handover process. In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of the four handover parameters by measuring the resulting downlink throughput and number of the required handovers. We furthermore determine the optimized values of the parameters through implementing different sets of experiments. Finally, by applying the obtained optimized parameters on two main LTE handover algorithms i.e. A3RSRP and A2A4RSRQ, their performance is compared regarding to different speeds of the mobile equipment. We determine how to accurately select the optimal settings for the parameters so that greater LTE performance can be achieved. </span>
