    Multiple Fusions Approach for Keystroke Dynamics Verification System with Soft Biometrics
    Computer security is a process that controls the entire information system, including network, system and hardware. Important information that must be controlled in a system is the data or information contained in a system. Various methods have been used to ensure that only users with legitimate access to data can use a system. Usernames and passwords have been a common practice by many systems as the first requirement to be fulfilled to access the system, but some systems use the secondary verification for additional confirmation. In this article, Keystroke Dynamics has been used as the user's second level authentication for the systems that use the keyboard to login into a system. A common problem of system intrusions is that the system fails to identify the user who signs in using the keyboard when the login is correct. There is a possibility that someone else tries to break into the system. To ensure and improve users' recognition who use the keyboard to enter their logins into the system, Keystroke Dynamics is used as a next-level verification if the login is correct. Soft biometrics is used in the user authentication process using KD method in this study. The soft biometric elements used in this study are culture, gender, educational level (CGPA - Cumulative Grade Point Average) and region of birth (ROB). All of these four soft biometric elements are expected to enhance capabilities in the user authentication process.

    Contrast enhancement on pap smear cell images: A comparison
    Cervical cancer is a common disease that can be carried by women. It is the 3rd leading cause of female cancer in Malaysia and the 4th most common type of cancer for women globally. Referring to the HPV Information Centre in 2018, it is estimated that 1682 women are diagnosed and 944 die from having cervical cells. In 2018, 569, 847 of the 18,078,957 cases were categorised as cervical cancer, which is 3.2%. With the advancement in science and technology, cervical cancer can be detected at an early stage by conducting a Pap smear test. This test will filter abnormal cervical cells and detect precancerous changes in cervical cells based on the colour and shape properties of their nuclei and cytoplasm. The problem is that performing the procedure manually can be time-consuming and cause inconsistencies and errors even further because the cervical cell itself does not show an obvious difference in texture and colour from normal cells. This paper will focus on colour contrast enhancement of the cervical cell using a few methods such as Contrast Stretching (CS), CLAHE, Histogram Equalization (HE), Image Adjustment, and Multi Scale Retinex (MSR). From this research, the cervical cell colour contrast can be enhanced to a better level and the detection of cervical cells can happen faster and more accurately. Hence, the errors in detecting can be reduced again so they can be treated soon.

    In the last decade, smart homes have become applicable and widely developed where all the electronic devices and household appliances are controlled from a centralized control unit. However, the rise of misuses such as the security aspect and interoperability mechanism is proving them to be less reliable. Moreover, the traditional home automation system is complex, expensive and they are inconvenient for the aging population or disable persons. Besides, most smart home technologies forcing users to use their hands in order to control electronic devices. Therefore, the smart home with biometric system recognition is proposed to increase security, efficiency and decrease manual labor effort. This project used biometric of the human voice as an input command. The scope of this project is only focused on fan and lamp as an output of home appliances. The proposed system is divided into two main parts which are speech recognition (software development) and electrical home appliance control system (hardware development). In the speech recognition, the process contains two main modules which are feature extraction and pattern matching. Meanwhile, in hardware development, the microcontroller board is used to process the home appliance system such that the system can be operated automatically. It is expected that this project allows the user to conveniently control the home appliances by using voice. The experiment shows that the highest performance of the system achieves an accuracy of 83.25% with the number of k, training, and testing is 1, 20, and 40 respectively.

    Unidirectional Antenna for Disease Detection Purpose
    A brain tumor is defined as a mass of tissue formed by an accumulation of abnormal cells within the brain. This paper proposes a high gain ultra-wideband (UWB) reflector array antenna for cancer detection. Introduction of the copper reflector with ideal distance contribute to increasing the proposed antenna gain. The antenna is printed with 4×1 copper radiating patch array properly connected with quarter wave transformer transmission line associated with a copper parasitic element for the front side. The patches comprise of four identical circulars with a diameter of 15 mm. Parasitic element is placed on very close to feeding line with the gap only 0.2 mm. Each quarter wave transmission line has its own specific wide dimension for 50Ω, 70.71Ω and 100Ω to ensure equal current distribution towards all four patches could be realized. Quarter-wave transformers of 70.71 Ω are used to have an ideal match between the 100 Ω lines and the 50 Ω lines. The high gain antenna is essential in a human microwave detection system for penetrating the multilayer structures by enhancing the focus of the electromagnetic energy into the desired structure. The antenna with reflector recorded wider bandwidth; 1.6 GHz-10.8 GHz associated with higher gain ranged from 3.2 dB until 14.1 dB compared with an antenna without reflector operated from 2.2 GHz to 10.8 GHz with lower gain ranges of 2.1 dB to 10.2 dB.
