This paper presents a technology for iron-making using biomass and a low grade iron ore by implementing chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) for the tar carbonization process. In this process, tar vapor from pyrolysis of biomass was infiltrated within a porous ore and carbon deposition occurred on the pore surface. For preparation, ore sample was heat

Media components such as wheat flour, MgSO4 and particle size were screened by Placket Burman design (PBD) while the operating range was fixed by one-factor-at-a-time method (OFAT), primarily for the enrichment of cassava peels as animal feed. Optimization of the selected media components was carried out using Face–Centered Central Composite Desi

The 152–156Sm isotopes are classified as deformed nuclei. The phenomenological model is presented to describe the complete low – energy of 152–156Sm isotopes by taking into account the Coriolis mixing between states. The parameters fitted to the model are calculated. The energy spectra of positive – parity states are found to be in good agr

The study was conducted to investigate the level of implementation of lean manufacturing (LM) in Malaysian automotive industry. A number of survey methodologies were utilized to ensure reliability of the results of this study. Thirteen areas have been identified as typical workplaces implementing lean manufacturing. The study also investigated the

This book analyses aspects related to capital and profit sharing in the equity-Hnancing modes employed by Islamic banks. Major topics covered include the signitlcance of existence and presence of capital at the inception of joint equity ventures, possibility of converting debt into capital, formation of equity ventures based on illiquid capital, th

During the COVID-19 pandemic many researches have been done about the use of predictive analytic systems (PA) to take administrative decisions based on meaningful information and to help in limiting the spread of the virus and to manage hospitals resources to be able to treat the huge number of patients who increase rapidly every day. Research has

Elements of both mudārabah (fund management) as well as shirkah (partnership) in Islamic law are reflected in the operation of investment accounts offered by Islamic financial institutions. A number of partners pooling their funds together for running a business operation is possible under shirkah. Similarly, mixing mudārabah capital with funds o

Individual who suffers from a head injury required a specific plan of treatment and nursing care to achieve the best outcome they could have. The initiation of tracheostomy is one of the interventions that may be executed on head injury patients especially for those with prolonged respiratory issues. Early tracheostomy (ET) is believed to offer a s

As knowledge is being accepted as an inseparable imperative strategy of organization, organizations look at knowledge as a power which drives advantages to them. However, many organizations believe it is not about just the existence of knowledge but the organizational growth is being driven from the act of knowledge sharing. Through many establishe

Electro discharge machining (EDM) technique, a noncontact machining process, is applied for structuring nonconductive ZrO2 ceramic. A conductive layer of adhesive copper is applied on the workpiece surface to initiate the sparks. Kerosene is used as dielectric for creation of continuous conductive pyrolytic carbon layer on the machined surface. Exp
