Taguchi method was performed on a series of ultra thin Polysilicon films in order to study the parameter affecting the Polysilicon growth. The samples of ultra thin Polysilicon were prepared through pyrolizing silane SiH4 for Low pressure chemical deposition method. There are three level of temperature used, that are 575, 600 and 6500C. The samples were grown in 0.333 litre/min, 0.667liter/min and...
In the present study, two methods, based on entropy optimization principle, to estimate missing (or forecasting) values in the given time series are suggested. In the first method successively replaces the missing values with the parameter value minimizing entropy of multivariate normal distribution representing MaxEnt approximation of the time series which arises by parameterization with a single...
Fitting a model in time series analysis can be very difficult when facing with random walk data. Logarithmic returns that usually used in financial modeling is one of the methods that can be used to form the suitable model for such time series. This paper deals with the advantages of logarithmic returns toward time series modeling of maximum electricity workloads in Malaysia. A case study on weekend...
The selection of candidate for influential data subsets is an important step in regression analysis in order to construct a model of high quality. One of the most popular and widely used methods for labelling influential data subsets is 1-clustering method. This is an indexed hierarchical clustering based on the notion of subdominant ultrametric (SDU) of a dissimilarity matrix. In the literature,...
The objective of this research is to analyze the accuracy of temperature prediction with numerical ocean modeling in the Gulf of Thailand during Typhoon Muifa. The samples are chosen by stratified random sampling method from raw data. The results show that there is no difference between the temperature of raw data and prediction at 0.01 significant levels. The accuracy of the model is about 79.71%...
Jaundice is one of the most common neonate diseases on the first days of birth, caused by hyperbilirubinaemia of blood; and if it is failed to be controlled, it may lead to kernicterus and probable death, or severe neurotic defeats. The purpose of this study is an investigation on different reasons of neonate jaundice, including physical and environmental reasons. Methodology: Method of this study...
Medical diagnose is a promise application that exploits data mining techniques. The physicist diagnose, represented by human expertise, can be incurrence to fail. In contrast the data mining can recruit the extracted knowledge from huge of clinical data though data mining and produce a predictive model, use the classification task to achieve the diagnostic. Different methods exist in this field, to...
It is assumed that polluted environment reduces the quality of porcelain insulator in terms of leakage current. In our previous study, a correlation analysis was conducted to show the influence of geothermal area to the quality of porcelain insulator. In this paper a further analysis based on gap analysis is conducted to have a better understanding about what quality characteristics that are more...
This paper deals with the application of a new method of survey on public opinion, developed by the second author and called People NEWS (Needs, Expectations, Wants and Satisfaction), to have a better understanding about the customers' NEWS on air travel safety and process in Malaysia. This paper will concentrate on the important aspect of safety for check-in and check-out procedure in the air travel...
This paper describes the continuity of the development ultrasonic listening device that capable in capturing the ultrasonic sound produced by discharges in the insulation. The device is designed using the wideband amplifier that provides a wide bandwith range that covers from 10 Hz up to 100 kHz. The design of the device has been improved by adding the parabolic reflector. With this improvement, the...
Breast cancer is the number one killer disease among women worldwide. Although this disease may affect women and men but the rate of incidence and number of deaths are high among women compared to men. Early detection of breast cancer helps to increase the chance of survival since early treatment can be decided for the patients who suffer from this disease. The advent of the Microarray Technology...
In stock networks analysis, the influential stocks is usually identified by using minimal spanning tree (MST) to filter the important information followed by the centrality measures analysis. In this paper, we introduce an analysis to identify the stocks that might have different behaviour compared to the others. Like the centrality measures analysis, this analysis is also conducted based on MST....
Safety and accident issues are considered as an important problem in the world. Road transportation issues would have a more conspicuous countenance in the country of Iran in which, over 94 percent of all transportations take place through roads. The roads' contribution to the traffic accidents at mean is 24 percent however this value is 36 percent in Iran. Many parameters, safety signs and equipment,...
Random noise generation has been a major issue in electronic design especially in communication signalling. Receiver sensitivity plays an important role in determining signal coverage quality which is a direct effect of noise contribution in the system. In wireless communication for example, receiver sensitivity is the most critical parameter that will decide the rest of the systems architecture design...
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UTeM produces students in Bachelor Degree of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering. The curriculum of the program was developed based on the Programes Outcomes (PO) set by the faculty committee. Entry survey is a form of survey that was conducted to students that just after their admission into the faculty. The purpose of this survey is to find...
In highway traffic analysis, speed and traffic flow are essential parameters. The 85th and 15th percentiles are commonly used. Comparative assessments of qualitative service often rely on descriptive statistics of speeds. In some studies, the focus has been on sampling distribution of the mean instead of the sampling distribution of the percentile while some have applied the binomial test for percentiles...
The unsafe behavior of drivers when it is important that in addition to their, also will jeopardizing the health and lives of other people. Traffic signs, is one of the communication tools between driver and road, for do increase the safety. In this study have been evaluated the key parameters regard to attention and observe the messages issued by the road sign "pedestrian crossing". Database...
