Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware and Software Components of an Oysters' Gape Measurement SystemAmin Ali, Kamal Ali, Aaugustine Ukpebor et al.In this work, the hardware and software used in developing a bivalve gape measurement system is explored. This system employs the Hall-effect phenomenon to accurately measure and report the gape of a bivalve. The system uses a Hall Effect sensor (Symmetry Electronics’ H2425) and a small magnet in which both are glued to the exterior of the shells of a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Sep 2019 · 8,762 accessesView PDFCite
