The effect of mefloquine-artemether compared with quinine on patients with complicated falciparum malaria
(Elsevier Ltd., 1988)30 pairs of patients with complicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria (with anaemia, hyperpyrexia, jaundice or more than 5% of erythrocytes parasitized) were studied. Patients with cerebral signs and symptoms were excluded. ... -
Kinetic study of the hydrothermal reaction between lime and rice-husk-ash silica
(Elsevier Limited, 1992)The paper describes a study of the reaction between lime and amorphous silica obtained from rice-husk (93-94% SiO2) under hydrothermal conditions, in the range 80-140°C. The progress of the reaction, conducted in stainless ... -
A new algorithm for computing minimum distance
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2000)This paper presents a new algorithm for computing the minimum distance between convex polyhedras. The algorithm of Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi (GJK) and the algorithm of Lin-Canny (LC) are well-known fast solutions to the ... -
Analysis of microchannel heat exchangers using FEM
(Emerald Group Publishing, 2000)A finite element method is applied to evaluate the performance of microchannel heat exchangers that are used in electronic packaging. The present approach is validated against the CFD data available in the literature. A ... -
Performance of wire-on-tube heat exchangers used in immersion cooling for electronic packages
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2000)In this investigation, closed loop immersion cooling of an electronic package with external condenser-a wire-on-tube heat exchanger being attached to its enclosure-is analysed. The dielectric vapour leaving the enclosure ... -
Asymmetric error control for production systems in mechatronics
(2000)In the realm of E-manufacturing, the job tool movements should be precisely controlled which normally involve the directions East-West and South-North. Whereas the robot applications often involve either obstacle detection ... -
Plant based energy potential and biomass utilization in Malaysia
