Novel delivery system for natural products: Nano-curcumin formulations

Objective: Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. Curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (DNA) and messengers (RNA). A wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...

Non-conventional Sewerage

Conventional wastewater collection systems are installed to remove human wastes from households in cities and urban areas. This system demands high water supply rates as the wastes are flushed through pipes using water that flows under gravity. This system is capital extensive, and has been found to be not suitable in urban areas with smaller population sizes. Also, for the same reason, not sui...

"RoboPress" - An Automated Mobile Press for Manufacturing Concrete Products

This paper presents innovative manufacturing and control procedures applied in the design, construction and operation, of a mobile hydraulic press machine (RoboPress). The research demonstrates how the design of an automated mobile manufacturing system can be optimized through using qualitative modeling and simulation from artificial intelligence.

Robust spoken dialogue systems for consumer products: a concrete application

In this paper, we report the significant results of a fully-implemented voice operated dialogue system, and particularly its main component: the Dialogue Manager (DM). Just like for other interfaces, spoken interfaces require a well-conducted design, implying a good analysis of the users’ needs throughout the dialogue. The VODIS project1 has led to the design and development of a spoken interfa...
