This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Visual Informatics Conference, IVIC 2009, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in November 2009. The 82 revised research papers presented together with four invited keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 216 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on virtual technologies and systems, virtual environment, visualization, engineering and simulation, as well as visual culture, services and society.
Environmental concerns regarding continuous use of synthetic dyes saw a revival in the demand for natural dyes as natural dyes exhibit better biodegradability and generally have a higher compatibility with the environment. However, one of the limitations on the use of natural dyes or pigments is the low extraction yield factors (a few grams of pigment per kg of dried raw material). Therefore, the exploitation of other biological sources such as fungi, bacteria and cell cultures offers interesting alternative. Microbial pigments such as from bacterial origins offer the advantage in terms of production compared to pigments extracted from vegetables or animals, due to its simple cell and fast culturing technique. This book offers interesting insight into initial works carried out to demonstrate the potential use of bacterial pigment as colorant for various applications.
The two-volume set LNCS 7066 and LNCS 7067 constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Visual Informatics Conference, IVIC 2011, held in Selangor, Malaysia, during November 9-11, 2011. The 71 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in these proceedings. They are organized in topical sections named computer vision and simulation; virtual image processing and engineering; visual computing; and visualisation and social computing. In addition the first volume contains two keynote speeches in full paper length, and one keynote abstract.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Advances in Visual Informatics, IVIC 2013, held in Selangor, Malaysia, in November 2013. The four keynotes and 69 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers focus on four tracks: computer visions and engineering; computer graphics and simulation; virtual and augmented reality; and visualization and social computing.
What is the minimum sample size required in my study? How do we select a sample? This book was prepared based on the basic and important questions which are commonly voice out by the undergraduate or postgraduate students and research officers. With the best solution, this book will help them in managing their dilemma in determining the accurate sample size and selection sampling method before commencing any applied research. Sample size determination for each study design is discussed in a simple yet compact way by using a free and readily downloaded software, Power and Sample software. Suitable to those who want a quick revision, this book is the best help among all as it is also comes with example of studies. Sampling methods and summary of data analysis are also being included to fulfill the purpose in conducting the research. The best part of this book is it provides interesting illustrated presentation in some chapters that made this handy book more irresistible to read.
The most important objective of this book is to serve as a guide to undergraduate, postgraduate students and researchers in using SPSS and G*Power software in their various applied researches, especially in health research area. Almost all applied researches need a basic, moderate and advanced statistical analysis in their research project. This book provides sample size calculations required according to the study design and step-by-step analysis using SPSS as well as the result presentation for obtained output. This book aims to assist students in making good presentations and conclusions based on the results obtained and provides valuable information in statistical methods in applied research.
Designing a good proposal and writing an excellent thesis are essential in conducting research. The ideal way for conducting research starts with good research planning and design, followed by collecting, analysing, interpreting and presenting the findings. Learning, understanding and applying the scientific methods and statistical analysis has become a necessary skill in every discipline, especially in health sciences. Using appropriate strategies for research proposals and thesis writing, researchers may produce significant and systematic research findings, with increased reliability of publication results. This book assists students and researchers to understand the fundamental concepts a...
The dental research is in a stage of rapid development and growth which focussing on pain alleviation and defect restoration in patients applying technological advancements.
