Omni Directional Indoor Mobile Robot

This paper presents an approach which uses an omni–directional robot for indoor use. The use of the omni-directional robot describes a ‘no head no tail’ robot. This will reduce movement recovery in time and space. In additions its mechanism makes it possible to run as a reactive robot without any complex programming. This robot is designed to use an algorithm control (reactive) based on the vision control system. The aim of this project is to design an indoor mobile robot for jogging partner operation

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Enhancing Nitrogen Uptake And Use Efficiency Of Urea Fertlizer By Paddy

Efficient use of urea fertilizer (UF) as important nitrogen (N) source in the world's rice production has been a concern for the economic sustainability of cropping systems. The use of carbon-based materials to enhance UF efficiency still facing a great challenge. Hence, N Nano-carrier is developed based on functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) grafted with UF to produce urea-multiwall carbon nanotubes (UF-MWCNTs) for enhancing the nitrogen uptake (NU) and use efficiency (NUE). The grafted N was found efficiently absorbed and utilized by rice, and overcome the N propensity for loss from soil‐plant systems when UF-MWCNTs are applied. The UF-MWCNTs shown tremendous NUE up to 96% and NU at 1180mg/pot. The chemical changes were monitored by Raman spectroscopy. Hence, UF-MWCNTs provides a promising strategy in enhancing plant nutrition for rice

Effect Of Functionalised And Non-Functionalised Carbon Nanotubes-Urea Fertilizer On The Growth Of Paddy

The roles of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and functionalised multiwalled carbon nanotubes (fMWNTs) in enhancing the efficacy of urea fertilizer (UF) as plant nutrition for local MR219 paddy variety was investigated. The MWNTs and fMWNTs were grafted onto UF to produce UF-MWNTs fertilizer with three different conditions,coded as FMU1 (0.6 wt. % fMWNTs),FMU2 (0.1 wt. % fMWNTs) and MU (0.6 wt. % MWNTs.The batches of MR219 paddy were systematically grown in accordance to the general practice performed by the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI).The procedure was conducted using a pot under exposure to natural light at three different fertilization times;after a certain number of days of sowing (DAS) at 14,35 and 55 days. Interestingly,it was found that the crop growth of plants treated with FMU1 and FMU2 significantly increased by 22.6% and 38.5% compared to plants with MU addition.Also, paddy treated with FMU1 produced 21.4% higher number of panicles and 35% more grain yield than MU while paddy treated with FMU2 gave 28.6% more number of panicles and 36% higher grain yield than MU,which implies the advantage of fMWNTs over MWNTs to be combined with UF as plant nutrition.The chemical composition and morphology of UF-MWNTs fertilizers which is further characterised by FTiR and FESEM confirmed the successful and homogeneous grafting of UF onto the fMWNTs

Bio-Physics Concept For Camera Vision Hypothesis Of Colour White

In the myriad of colours, black and white are strange colours to be discussed. Since black (the colour that one perceives) is not in the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, it is duly suggested that black is an interpretation of the brain in which the existing “no signal” concept is also discussed in the article. The same goes to the colour white, it is not in the EM spectrum too, so it is also duly proposed as an interpretation of the brain. The concept of white as combination of colour is also discussed in the article. It is insignificant to discuss about both these colours of their existence in the reflection of colour representation since their non-existent in EM spectrum is similar to the colour pink or magenta. There is a hypothesis (for white light colour theory test) at the end of this article, the authors welcome any scientists or engineers or researcher all over the world to assess, deliberate and prove the truth of this theory

Gravitational Wave & Relativity Impact Electronic Communication & Engineering

About a few months ago (Feb 11, 2016), the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) scientist team researchers made an announcement that they had confirmed the gravitational wave already detected on Sept 14, 2015 (by LIGO’s twin detectors in Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford, Washington). The wave was predicted by Einstein back in 1916 with his theory of General Relativity. This paper is about gravitational wave and relativity theory that may contribute to the field of Telecommunication and other engineering as well

Solution Manual of Differential Equations

One of the most challenging aspects of mathematics learning is to give students suitable examples and exercises which can improve their understanding. This solution manual of Differential Equations is designed to serve as a study guide for engineering students of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The topics are based on the syllabus of Differential Equations teaching in UTeM. The material in this book will cover questions and answers for: Second Order Linear Differential Equation Laplace Transform Foureir Series Partial Differential Equation An excellent student must have an initiative to learn before being taught by lecturers. By using this manual, students can be more prepared before attending a tutorial session. The examples are presented in a sequence of steps with full details so that students can follow systematically
