    A confined space has a limited space for entry and exit but it is large enough for workers to enter and perform work inside. It is not designed for continuous occupancy because it can contribute atmospheric hazards accidents that threaten the worker safety and industry progress. In this work, we reported the testing an instrument to assist workers for atmosphere testing during pre-entry. An electronic nose (e-nose) using specific sensor arrays is the integration between hardware and software that able to sense different concentrations of gases in an air sample using pattern recognition techniques. The instrument utilizes multivariate statistical analysis which is Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for discriminate the different concentrations of gases and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify the acquired data from the air sample. The instrument was successfully tested using diesel, gasoline, petrol and thinner. The results show that the instrument able to discriminate an air sample using PCA with total variation for 99.94%, while the classifier success rate for SVM indicates at 98.21% for train performance and 95.83% for test performance. This will contribute significantly to acquiring a new and alternative method of using the instrument for monitoring the atmospheric hazards in confined space to ensure the safety of workers during work progress in a confined space.

    Aquaculture is an agricultural technology that combines aquaculture (fish farming activities) with hydroponic activities (planting crops without soil media) in one circulation. The most important element in aquaculture is the existence of fish, plants, and bacteria. These three elements form a mutually beneficial relationship or symbiotic mutualism. The main purpose of the aquaculture system is to maintain water quality and reduce ammonia levels from the water so that it can be utilized by other organisms. In addition, aquaculture can also save space and can produce two types of human food simultaneously, plants and livestock. Agricultural technology design with Aquaculture also uses the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) as information from sensors and sensors of value generator is accessible through applications installed on smartphones from anywhere with an Internet connection. Development of monitoring of aquaponic ecosystems with IoT systems was developed using a program using micro-controls to control temperature, humidity, pH levels and water pumps. There are some improvements made to this project.

    Rice bran is a by-product resulting from the milling process that is frequently underutilized as cattle food or disposed through open-burning despite of its high nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Thus, this research aims in recognizing and exploring rice bran and its extraction methods that could further cultivate in the industry. This study focuses on the rice bran extraction process using water assisted with ultrasonication. The relationship between the operational parameters such as the temperature, extraction time and sample-to-solvent ratio to the protein yield were studied. The rice bran protein was subjected to the surface functional group analysis using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). As a conclusion, the extraction temperature of 60°C, sample to solvent ratio of 10 % and extraction time of 25 mins were chosen as the best conditions for the protein extraction. The extraction of the protein from rice bran is highly profitable due to its nutritional and nutraceutical properties as well as it is readily available at low cost.

    The number of road accidents in Malaysia shows a steady increment from 2010 to 2019, reported by the Ministry of Transport Malaysia. This project aims to develop a system to prevent an accident by detecting aggressive driving. If an accident occurred, this system would send an alert for an immediate response, which is crucial to reduce the fatality rate. An accelerometer is utilized to detect aggressive driving and accident events. The method to detect aggressive driving is by determining an abrupt change in acceleration. For accident detection, the vehicle tilt angle and acceleration are monitored. An ESP32 SIM800L microcontroller processes the inputs and alert a web-based cloud service and a set phone number by Short Message Service (SMS). The microcontroller is used due to the embedded Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and other wireless communication modules. The small form factor gives an advantage in terms of mounting location flexibility. The alert contains the type of event, time, and location. This report contains the development of the proposed system, which includes the simulation for the system circuit and motion simulation. Accident detection, falls, SMS alerts and online alerts are consistently successful, while aggressive driving detection is inconsistent. Live tracking does not directly work during these detections. In conclusion, this project successfully detects accidents and sends alerts via SMS and internet using a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card.
