Common Electricity meters, which are currently used in houses, shops and some factories are bulky expensive and inaccurate. Such features are incompatible with modern technological trends of miniaturization accuracy and neat devices. This project presents the design and the model of a low cost digital energy meter to overcome the short comings of t

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that results from defects in insulin secretion and insulin receptor kinase. Investigation of novel small active molecule that can potentiate insulin action or having a similar action as insulin is important in the treatment of diabetes.

This paper investigates the performance of exponential/proportional fair (EXP/PF) and maximum-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) scheduling algorithms in the third generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) providing packet-switched multimedia services. It, then, identifies a suitable packet scheduling algorithm on a basis of

A sequential optimization based on statistical design and one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method was employed to optimize the media constituents for the improvement of citric acid production from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) through solid state bioconversion using Aspergillus niger IBO-103MNB. The results obtained from the Plackett–Burman desig

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of different particle size of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and their distribution as new substrate for the production of citric acid through solid state bioconversion (SSB) in laboratory scale by Aspergillus niger. The experiment was carried out to observe the productivity of citric acid

Experimental investigations have been conducted on the chips and common types of discreteness in the form of serrated saw teeth (primary or secondary) have been identified. It has been observed that the chip formation process has a discrete nature, associated with the periodic shearing process of the chip during machining of stainless steel. Mechan

Solid polymer electrolytes comprising of various weight ratios of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt were prepared via solution casting technique using N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The conductivity values of the electrolytes were determined utilizing Solatron 1260. The highest conductivity obtained

The formation of external Cr2 O3 scale is important to obtain the oxidation resistance of Fe-Cr alloys at high temperatures. It is well known that the critical concentration of Cr to form protective external scale of Cr2 O3 in humid condition is higher than that in dry condition, and the criterion of this concentration is expressed as Wagner’s eq

Hanafi [1] and Asep [2] et. al. have shown that the presence of water vapor in oxidation environment enhances the oxygen transport along the precipitates oxide/metal interface. This explains the reason of accelerated oxidation rates and anomalous oxidation behavior in water vapor condition. Oxygen potential on the surface of oxide during the oxidat

Many studies1-3 have shown that oxidation rates in humid environment are higher than in dry environment. The formation of Cr2O3 scale during high temperature oxidation is beneficial in protecting metals from severe oxidizing environment. A dilute solid solution, such as Fe-Cr alloy with small Cr concentrations, forms internal oxide of Cr2O3 when ex
