Utilizing Smartphone and Tablet for Appliances Mobile Controller System

Reducing the electricity consumption is better for the planet and help to reduce harmful greenhouse releases. Hence, this paper proposes house appliances controller apps that can control and calculate the power usage of house appliances. Besides, the apps can control and set the auto-time based such as how long the light must be in switch on. This is important because the house might be a target for a thief when the light continuously on. The objectives of this paper are to identify and develop features of the mobile controller app and for the house appliances. The expected outcome would be a fully functional mobile application and web-based system namely as HomeBot.

Dengue Fever Awareness Using Mobile Application: DeFever

Dengue Fever (DF) is the leading cause of illness and death around the world. In order to take action against this issue the involvement of the public and society is very important. However the public awareness towards DF is very low due to the lack of attention for this issue. Therefore, this research explores the feasibility to develop a mobile application, which is an informative mobile application that is designed to attract the public and society’s attention and increase the awareness about DF. The mobile application, Dengue Fever Awareness using Mobile Application, DeFever, acts as an informative mobile application that can be used to provide more information about DF with some useful features. By using DeFever, all information regarding DF and infected areas will be accessible. The objectives of this research are to identify the level of public awareness based on the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards Dengue, to identify the suitable design features of DeFever and to develop the mobile app (DeFever) that helps to increase the public awareness towards DF. The method used in this research was by using the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) whereby the model used was the 5D Appreciative Inquiry Model for DeFever. AI is the cooperative, co-developmental search in finding the best in individuals of people, and the world around them. It includes deliberate revelation of what offers life to an association or a group when it is best and most skilled in financial, biological and human terms. Finally, hopefully DeFever can be used to assist efforts in increasing the public awareness level towards DF.

Automatic tuning of liver tissue model using simulated annealing and genetic algorithm heuristic approaches

Mass Spring Model (MSM) is a highly efficient model in terms of calculations and easy implementation. Mass, spring stiffness coefficient and damping constant are three major components of MSM. This paper focuses on identifying the coefficients of spring stiffness and damping constant using automated tuning method by optimization in generating human liver model capable of responding quickly. To achieve the objective two heuristic approaches are used, namely Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) on the human liver model data set. The properties of the mechanical heart, which are taken into consideration, are anisotropy and viscoelasticity. Optimization results from SA and GA are then implemented into the MSM to model two human hearts, each with its SA or GA construction parameters. These techniques are implemented while making FEM construction parameters as benchmark. Step size response of both models are obtained after MSMs were solved using Fourth Order Runge-Kutta (RK4) to compare the elast...
