MgH2 is a very hopeful material for application as hydrogen storage in the solid form. This due to its reversibility and ability store large amounts of hydrogen, which 7.6 wt%. However, this still has weaknesses, namely high operating temperature slow kinetic reactions. Various attempts have been made overcome weakness, including downsizing adding catalyst. In study, double catalyst was used, n...

INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women. The pathway for its diagnosis and treatment is relatively standardized. Nevertheless, there can be significant delays affecting the journey. The aim of this retrospective study is to describe the BC wait times (WT) from suspicion to first surgery in Manitoba and to examine factors associated with WT variability. METHODS The c...

Human Par-4/PAWR is a about 40 kDa protein containing 340 amino acids. Rat Par-4 has 332 amino acids whereas mouse Par-4 has 333 amino acids. Par4/PAWR has two putative nuclear localization sequences in the N-terminal region and a leucine zipper domain and a nuclear export sequence in the C-terminal portion. There is a SAC domain (147-206 amino acids), selective for apoptosis induction in cance...

Nowadays, a rapid development in wind power technologies is occurring compared with other renewable energies. This advance in technology has facilitated a new generation of wind turbines with larger capacity and higher efficiency. As the height of the turbines and the distance between turbines increases, the monitoring and control of this new generation wind turbines presents new challenges. Th...

In this paper, a novel scheme for face recognition or authentication is proposed against pose, illumination, and expression (PIE) variation using modular face features. A sub-image in low-frequency sub-band is extracted by a wavelet transform (WT) to reduce the image dimensionality. It is partitioned into four parts for representing the local features and reducing the PIE effects, and the small...

This paper proposes new combined methods to classify normal and epileptic seizure EEG signals using wavelet transform (WT), phase-space reconstruction (PSR), and Euclidean distance (ED) based on a neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions (NEWFM). WT, PSR, ED, and statistical methods that include frequency distributions and variation, were implemented to extract 24 initial feature...

The current work focuses on the manufacturing of aluminium AA 6061 composites and its tribological characterization. This is achieved by reinforcing matrix with red mud. However, uniform dispersion mud requires ultrasonic assisted stir casting use optimum wt.% TiO 2 inoculants. In this regard, composition fixed at wt.%, since addition beyond results in agglomeration, while inoculants varied fro...
