In this paper we introduce a new variant of splicing systems, called weighted splicing systems, and establish some basic properties of language families generated by this type of splicing systems. We show that a simple extension of splicing systems with weights can increase the computational power of splicing systems with finite components.Weighted

Free Space Optics (FSO) communication is a technology widely used today. It involves transmission of data from a transmitter to a receiver. In order to achieve successful data transmission, a continuous alignment between the transmitter and receiver telescope is needed. Misalignment could happen due to many factors. Vibration at the transmitter or

The palmaris longus (PL) is one of the most variable muscles of the human body. The individuals may have unilateral or bilateral absence of PL, varies with ethnicity, gender and side of the body. An understanding of its variations is useful as it is often used as tendon graft for reconstructive surgery because of its little functional use and short

The inguinal region is one of the most complex anatomic areas of human body even though it has been the subject of great interest to anatomists and surgeons because of its clinical importance. The aims of the study are to: 1. provide a simplification and in-depth understanding of the complex and confusing inguinal canal anatomy. 2. incorporate time

Anatomy, as a part of the medical school curriculum, has always been recognized as an essential foundation for the clinical sciences. It forms a basis for the study of the normal structure for the subsequent study of surgery, medicine, pathology and the other clinical disciplines. In recent decades, despite the decrease in the number of hours stude

This paper report on the development of thermoplastic elastomer composite reinforced with 20 vol.% kenaf fibre. Two types of impact modifier were blended with polypropylene (PP) namely; thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) and polypropylene/ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer (PP/EPDM). Both composites were produced via double melt blending metho

Biocomposite made of polylactic acid (PLA) reinforced with natural kenaf bast fibre (KF) using twin screw extruder and injection molding machine has been developed. The effect of kenaf fibre content on crystallization and melting behavior has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amourphous state of PLA was remain un

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) composite reinforced with Hibiscus cannabinus, L fiber (kenaf fiber, KF) was prepared via melt blending method using internal mixer at temperature 180Compatibilized PP/EPDM-Kenaf Fibre Composite using Melt Blending Method 1H.

Nanocomposites are the materials that are created by introducing nanoparticulates that always referred to as filler into the matrix. Blends of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM)/Montmorillonite (MMT) were treated by compatibilizer MAPP and irradiation of electron beam. The effects on mechanical properties for both samples wer

This paper focuses on the fabrication of polylactic acid (PLA)–kenaf fibre (KF) biocomposite using intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder and then injection moulded for tensile properties characterization. The effect of kenaf fibre loading from 0-20 wt% was studied. The average of kenaf fibre aspect ratio is 30. Tensile strength and modulus
