This paper presents a novel System Dynamics model for solar thermal installed capacity for Malaysian Industries. The objective of this paper is to foresee the influences of technical acceptance and willingness of the Malaysian industries to install the solar thermal system to replace the current system for heating process. Results revealed the Malaysian industries interest level on solar thermal is low. Therefore to increase the interest, Malaysian industries need more booster supports from the government to increase the investment in new technology, which will advantage the company and Malaysia in long-term. Not only industries, the policy makers will also benefit from the outcome, to tailor the framework for solar thermal in developing the solar thermal policy for industries in Malaysia.

In this paper, a novel microwave sensor with high Q-factor for oil sensing is analyzed and investigated. The new design is based on a gap waveguide cavity resonator (GWCR). To characterize and evaluate the sample, the oil under tested (OUT) is injected into a Teflon tube, which is passing through the microfluidic channel that is located in the middle of the cavity where the electric field concentrates. The results show that the proposed sensor has a high Q-factor of 4832. Moreover, the proposed design has the ability to sense and detect different types of oils with a small variation of permittivities such as Fish oil, Coconut oil, Olive oil, Linseed oil and Castor oil. The permittivity equation is extracted using the polynomial fitting method to define unknown dielectric properties of the OUT. The results show that the evaluated permittivity using the proposed sensor has a good agreement with the ideal permittivity. Therefore, the proposed sensor is a good candidate for oil processing in food industries.

Accurate and reliable assessment of power equipment operation state is the premise and basis for maintenance of power system state. This article builds the transformer body state assessment model based on fuzzy and evidence theories taking 500kV oil-immersed transformer as the object of research. The representative parameters in preventive test are selected as state assessment indicators by making reference to the factory values and threshold-crossing values of which the indicator normalization is carried out to determine the degrees of membership of each indicator relative to different state assessment levels using fuzzy evaluation method. These indicators are divided into three sub-evidence bodies, i.e. gas dissolved in oil, oilation test and electrical test, and information combination of these three sub-evidence bodies is carried out using evidence theory to further assess the operation state of transformer body. The effectiveness of this assessment model applied in state assessment of transformer body is verified by example analysis of the data of a 500kV transformer. This assessment model has clear ideas and doesn’t need too much historical data, it provides a new method for transformer state assessment.

This study aims to identify measurable parameters that could be used as objective assessment parameters to evaluate surgical dexterity using computer-based assessment module. A virtual reality module was developed to measure dynamic and static hand movements in a bimanual experimental setting. The experiment was conducted with sixteen subjects divided into two groups: surgeons (N = 5) and non-surgeons (N = 11). Results showed that surgeons outperformed the non-surgeons in motion path accuracy, motion path precision, economy of movement, motion smoothness, end-point accuracy and end-point precision. The six objective parameters can complement existing assessment methods to better quantify a trainee’s performance. These parameters also could provide information of hand movements that cannot be measured with the human eye. An assessment strategy using appropriate parameters could help trainees learn on computer-based systems, identify their mistakes and improve their skill towards the competency, without relying too much on bench models and cadavers.

In the medical field, electrodes are commonly used either to retrieve signals or to conduct current. Most of the off-the-shelf surface electrodes are made from metal or rigid substrates. This paper presents a work on designing a new flexible dry electrodes using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate and silver by means of dispenser printing technology. The polyester cotton fabric was selected as the substrate in this electrode designed. To analyse the new proposed composites of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate and silver, different mixtures have been applied. Results from the experiment show that the conductivity of the proposed flexible electrode is comparable with the commercialized pre-gelled electrode when applied to an electrical stimulator device. Eight out of ten subjects under test described no difference in comfort between the proposed electrodes and pre-gelled electrodes.

Breast cancer remains one of the major causes of cancer deaths among women. For decades, screening mammography has been one of the most common methods for early cancer detection and diagnosis. Digital mammography images are created by applying a small burst of x-rays that pass through the breast to a solid-state detector, which transmits the electronic signals to a computer to form a digital image. However, due to projection, some mass areas may be partially covered, which makes them difficult to be interprated. This paper addresses the issue of potential mass regions being distorted by other normal breast tissues, which will negatively affect some of the features being extracted from the mass and in turn deteriorate the classification accuracy. The goal was to estimate the overlapped parts of the mass border using Euclidean distance in order to give more accurate results in next stages. The presented method achieved 95.744% region sensitivity at 0.333 False Positive per Image (FPI), outperforming other researches in this branch of mammography analysis.

To improve the classification accuracy rate of apple leaf disease images and solve the problem of dimension redundancy in feature extraction, Karhunen-Loeve (K-L) transform and sparse representation are applied to apple leaf disease recognition. Firstly 9 color features and 8 texture features of disease leaf images are extracted and taken as feature vectors after dimensionality reduction by the K-L transform. Then, for each of apple mosaic virus, apple rust and apple alternaria leaf spot, 40 apple leaf images are selected as the training samples, whose feature vectors are made up of the dictionary of the sparse representation, respectively. Each testing sample is classified into the class with the minimal residual. The identifying results using the proposed method are analyzed and compared with those of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and original sparse representation method. The average classification accuracy rate of the proposed method is 94.18 %, which confirms its good robustness. In addition, the proposed method not only improves the plant leaf disease classification accuracy but also solves the redundancy problem of the extracted features.

The influence of aspect ratio and orientation to scattering properties of ellipsoid ice particles at 94GHz is studied by Discrete-Dipole Approximation (DDA) method. Absorption efficiency, scattering efficiency, asymmetry factor and backscattering efficiency are computed with aspect ratios vary from 0.2 to 1.0, whose size parameter range are selected from 0 to 5. It is found that the values of scattering properties are increasing if the particle size increases, but if the size is larger than the limit value, oscillation occur, and the oscillation phenomenon will be smoothed by random orientation compared with that of horizontal orientation because scattering properties computed by random orientation method have more average frequency than that of horizontal orientation. In non-oscillating region, the scattering efficiency is larger than the absorption efficiency due to small imaginary part of the complex refractive of ice at 94 GHz, and scattering properties increase if the aspect ratio increases with the same size parameter but this feature is apparent only in the case of horizontal orientation. The asymmetric degree of forward scattering and backscattering increases when particle size increases when size parameter of particle is not exceeding 1.5.
