The objective of this research was to gain a better understanding of tensile properties of epoxy resin composites reinforced with glass fiber. The effect of fiber orientation & thickness of laminates has been investigated & experimentation was performed to determine property data for material specifications, the laminates were obtained by hand layup process. The laminates were cut to obtain AST...

Thimbleby et al. [1] have recently introduced a framework for modelling computer viruses and other malicious programs. They also criticized the use of Turing machine (TM) models for the same purpose. This note (re-)introduces a universal Turing machine (UTM) model which originally appeared in [2] and discusses its properties in the light of Thimbleby et al.’s critique. We show that their points...

Unmanned aerial vehicles are gaining immense attention in diverse commercial and civil applications. However, adopting this technology will rely on management services that support safe operation. UAV traffic systems (UTM) aim to facilitate safe, efficient, fair access the low-altitude airspace. these centralized lack protocols for secure interaction between system agents such as authorities, s...

Data on the performance of rapid molecular point-of-care use platforms for diagnosis of influenza are lacking. We validated nasopharyngeal (NP) flocked specimens in universal transport medium (UTM) and evaluated the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the Alere i influenza A&B test compared to those of the Xpert flu A/B assay. The Alere i influenza A&B test had an overall sensitivity and sp...

The Nikon Coolpix885® conventional digital camera is utilized to reform three-dimensional (3-D) turbulent pattern on lake that is situated in University Technology Malaysia (UTM). The main objective of this study is to use fuzzy arithmetic to reduce the errors arising from noise in digital camera data when constructing turbulent pattern flow. In doing so, the fuzzy B-spline algorithm, which ass...

In this paper, we present an overview of the georeferencing capabilities that enable registration of digital maps (raster data) with contours (vector data). This paper outlines the theory and standards used for proper geographic referencing of digital maps, and focuses on extraction of georeferencing information from TIFF and ESRI IMG raster file formats. Given 2D maps and 3D contours, georefer...
