The body improvement for ceramic industry became a crucial situation in order to reduce the production cost. The investigation of technological procedure in two subdivisions in industrial ceramic tableware design field brings a new invention that will increase the production. The idea of combining a component in ceramic will initiate a new design for this field. The subject matter is the local peat...
For individual with autism, the opportunity to achieve self-determination may be critical to enhance their quality of life. To achieve self-determination and independence, autism patience need to comprehend the learning basic skill system. Since calculation is used in everyday living, understanding the basic calculation skills is one way individual with autism can help achieve independence. The important...
Rapid global climate changes these days can no longer be forecasted. Lately in Malaysia heavy rainfall during rainy season is causing the crop lands damaged by the heavy rain thus affecting the paddy field top fertile soil eroded. Most conventional bund cannot sustain this heavy impact. As a result, more poor farmers face huge loss every season. In this paper, a framework design of innovative paddy...
One of the important steps in making ceramic process is to maintain the water content in clay thatcan keep vapours' and start to dries. Duringceramic drying process, many problems have been occurred. Some of these are caused by thermal expansion but are manifested because of the stresses generated during the removal of water. All of this situation result in defects of varying severity in the finished...
Gestures and postures are a non-verbal communication because it is translated through human's physical gestures and not through oral communication. This research focuses on creating a variety of human gestures and postures that are applied into a robotic form. The objective is to apply elements of human gestures and postures to robotic form and create an industrial ceramic art ware hence produce the...
The research starts with the backbone skeleton by focusing on three types of backbone which is human backbone, dinosaur backbone and dolphin backbone to study the locking system of these backbones as well the form and method of stacking also the element that have in stacking the backbone. Thereby the objective of this research is to make a constructive artwork from the interpretation from the backbone...
Nowadays, utilitarian value might be cheap and practical but people usually interested in a little aesthetical too, thus automatically creates a new concept of environment in order to appreciate creativities. This innovation is an attempt to introduce a fresh concept to the environmental art by combining few elements of art with a modern concept design using ceramic materials. The objective of this...
Bubbles are made of water, gas and air with very thin skin surrounding a volume of air. Bubbles are very elastic and stretch when inflated. However, the bubbles are very flexible and changes into various forms. This interesting accidental forms inspired ceramic artist to explore bubbles aesthetics elements in to ceramics. Design studies methodology was performed and finally, distinct elements of bubble...
Children are born with their bold exploration nature. They regard eating as part of their learning process. Taking advantage of breakfast cereal intake benefits, the research is proposing a ceramic set that could aid in children learning. Most breakfast set currently available in the market is not attentive to children need and lacking in humanistic design. Based on study of children behaviour and...
This research covers the product design process that involved study on concept or theme that lead to final production process. In this study, modern and contemporary teapot design was conceptualized by fusioning the Malay iconic heritage elements of traditional Labu Sayong (gourd-shaped water vessel). The fused design finally leads to a teapot without handle and a surprise feature of leather material...
Sayong clay is a material for craft making of the traditional pottery in Malaysia. The pottery work crafted as a water vessel adapting the form of pumpkin/bottle gourd is called Labu Sayong. Further inspired by the nature, the decoration on Labu Sayong body used the flora and fauna as main motif. In this present work, a hypothetical framework of using advanced luminescent materials was proposed to...
Young swiftlets are not able to build their own nest as it should. This led to an odd form that reduced its commercial values. The role of Swiftlets template nest is to guide the young swiftlet to build a typical form that will increase its commercial values. The current nest template used is made of plastic, silicone and rubber. By using ceramic materials as a nest template, it will bring the swiftlets...
Ablution is a washing procedure involves water to a particular body to cleanse itself from small impurities. In Islam, ablution is a spiritual washing for all Muslims before performing the prayers. Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) has introduced this ritual as part of the prayers activity. This ritual has been recorded in the Holy Book's of Quran, the prophetic traditions called Sunnah or...
Directionality analysis of signals originating from different parts of brain during motor tasks has gained a lot of interest. Since brain activity can be recorded over time, methods of time series analysis can be applied to medical time series as well. Granger Causality is a method to find a causal relationship between time series. Such causality can be referred to as a directional connection and...
The enhancement of ceramic strength can play a significant role in artwork. In this study we proposed to eliminate some limitations of stoneware body in aspect of strength by creating some changes in ceramic body by addition of an industrial waste. In this work we conceptually proposed the used of palm oil sludge which has been left unused from the edible oil industry. The sludge will be used as an...
This paper explored on the video's potential in assisting lecturers to sustain students' concentration and enhance students' enthusiasm in and outside the classroom. The driving educational belief, as idea and practice, is that by bringing ideas to life in design, hence with good-quality technology infrastructure, effective information and communication technologies (ICT) integration in and outside...
Hydroxyapatite has become a significant study especially in clinical orthopedic usage. It was first explored as coating material for bone which was then figured as bone implant or synthetic bone with the ability to grow as natural bone through studies in fabrication and material engineering. With excessive research on the material, properties of hydroxyapatite has been improved. The interesting study...
Background Severe life-threatening complications have been reported from the use of procedure for prolapsed haemorrhoids (PPH). First, we assessed post-operative complication rates over 4 years of PPH experience. We then sought to assess the impact of selection criteria for patients receiving PPH on post-operative complication rates and review our findings in the context of published literature. ...
The ceramic body strength enhancement in sanitary ware becomes a crucial situation in order to achieve new design development. This design development is directly related to the investigation of present manufacturing process that involved forms, materials and techniques. The material use in this work is typical ceramic body namely porcelain. Porcelain is composed from china clay, feldspar and quartz...
Literally, the application of corundum as an agent of hardness to glaze surface are determined to the hardness of the glaze properties itself. Corundum reacts as a coating agent that allowing surface roughness rating increase. Alumina is a compound with melting point of about 2,000 °C and sp. gr. about 4.0 is making the glaze component become more durable which solidify corundum foundation. As a result;...
