PublicationAn IoT Agricultural System for Harumanis Farm( 2021-12-01)Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary technology that represents the future of communication and computing. The field of IoT implementation is vast and can be applied in every field. This project is about to develop an IoT system for Harumanis Farm as agriculture is becoming an essential growing sector throughout the world due to the increasing population. The major challenge in the Harumanis sector is to improve the productivity and quality of Harumanis without continuous manual monitoring. IoT improves crop management, cost-effectiveness, crop monitoring and also improves the quality and quantity of the crop. This IoT system completes with several sensors to monitor the Harumanis farm, such as temperature and humidity sensor, pH level sensor, soil moisture sensor, also nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK) sensor. The system is a simple IoT architecture where sensors collect information and send it over the Wi-Fi network to the mobile applications.

PublicationEffect of Image Thresholding on the Homogenized Properties of Trabecular Bone Model( 2022-01-01)This paper presents a numerical study to determine the homogenized (apparent) properties of vertebral trabecular bone with different threshold values using homogenization method. Series set of micro-CT images of vertebral trabecular bone was used in the present digital image-based modeling technique to reconstruct the microstructure model. Three image thresholding values were selected based on Otsu’s method. The homogenized properties that include the Young’s moduli, Poisson’s ratio and shear moduli was obtained in this study. The results showed there is significant effect of image threshold on the homogenized properties of vertebral trabecular bone model.

PublicationSingle Channel Magnetic Induction Measurement for Meningitis Detection( 2021-01-01)Bacterial meningitis is one of the most common and prominent infections which infects the central nervous system through the tissue layers and membranes that cover our brain and spinal cord. It is a staggering and fatal illness that kills patients within hours. The number of meningitis cases that has been recorded annually around the world are one million cases and 135,000 deaths. Early detection and start of sufficient treatment are considered as the main determinants for better result. MIT mechanism is noncontact electrodes of impedance measurement. This mechanism uses induction principle instead of contact electrodes to get the required information. This paper presents an overview on the potential of Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) in detecting meningitis disease. In MIT principle, single channel measurement process which consist of transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) coil has been studied. In this field is disclosed about passive electrical field (PEP) which focuses on the three parameters which are dielectric permittivity, electrical conductivity, and magnetic permeability. In addition, this research project involves experimental setup. The applied frequency is between 1–10 MHz. Finally, in this project, the performance of the square coil with 12 number of turns (5Tx–12Rx) with 10 MHz frequency has been identified as the suitable transmitter-receiver pair and the optimum frequency for detecting the conductivity property distribution of brain tissues.

PublicationA Review on Magnetic Induction Spectroscopy potential for fetal acidosis examination( 2022-02-01)Fetal acidosis is one of the main concerns during labor. Currently, fetal blood sampling (FBS) has become the most accurate measurement of acidosis detection. However, it is invasive and does not provide a real time measurement due to laboratory procedures. Delays in diagnosis of acidosis have caused serious injury to the fetus, especially for the brain and the heart. This paper reviews the new technique in diagnosis of acidosis non-invasively. Magnetic Induction Spectroscopy (MIS) has been proposed to be a new device for acidosis detection in recent years. This paper explains the basic principle of MIS and outlines the design specifications and design considerations for a MIS pH probe. It is expected that readers will gain a basic understanding of the development of a MIS pH probe from this review.
