A combination of aluminum columnar member with composite laminate to form a hybrid structure can be used as collapsible energy absorbers especially in automotive vehicular structures to protect occupants and cargo. A key advantage of aluminum member in composite is that it provides ductile and stable plastic collapse mechanisms with progressive def

This study used a combined viscosity approach to determine theoretical fibre drawing points for glasses in the series: xP2O5, 24MgO, 16CaO, (60-x)Na2O (x = 0,45,50,55) and yP2O5, 24MgO, 16CaO, (55-y)Na2O, 5Fe2O3 (y = 40,45,50,55). The points cannot be measured directly since the glasses are only kinetically stable at these points and would crystall

Globally, coastlines are undergoing rapid development and firm management policies have to be established. However, for any shore management to be effective, the policies need to be based on informed decision-making. GIS encourages the development and use of standards for coastal data definition, collection and storage, which promotes compatibility

The present study investigates the mixed utterances produced by a mono-ethnic simultaneous bilingual child receiving Bangla and English as his two first languages, a phenomenon referred to as Bilingual First Language Acquisition (BFLA). The form and structural patterns of the mixed utterances produced by the bilingual child with both his Bangla and

Background: Health related behavior act as a gate to our health. Practicing good health related behavior will prevent us from contacting diseases especially of the non-communicable type, while engaging in poor health related behavior will increased the risk few folds. Objective: To determine the prevalence of health related behavior and its associa

This paper presents an experimental work on the influence of number of layers in the overwrap hybrid composite columnars under repeated axial crush force. The columnar test specimens were fabricated by hand lay–up process using commercial available of 0/90° ply oriented epoxy-glass fiber mats. In determining the energy absorption capacity, three

Epoxy–glass fiber–aluminium composite may be of interest for energy absorption application due to their improved crashworthiness. In the current study, the hybrid–composite columnar tube specimen has been fabricated by a hand lay–up method using epoxy–glass fiber with aluminium columnar tube as a core material. An experimental quasi–sta

Various networking technologies and terms have been coined in the last couple of decades. The dynamism in networking technologies and applications has paved the way for work on multitudes of research areas. While some areas can be broken into more sub-areas and topics, there is a trend among researchers to think about combining different technologi

Building customer trust is a huge problem in the cloud computing paradigm. Today, hundreds of companies around the world are offering cloud services in major or minor scale with global or local reach. In spite of the availability of numerous establishments for cloud services, there is a critical link missing with the customers - and that is the lac

Sorting the retrieved results from the most relevant to the least relevant is the common option of an Information Retrieval System (IRS). This sorting mechanism or relevance judgment is computed by measuring closeness of query with its documents. The purposes of this study were to measure the relevance status of Index Islamicus, evaluate the semant
