Hard coating deposited to tool steel surface can greatly improve wear resistance and reduce sticking. Since solid-liquid interactions are present in every lubricated tribological contact, the present study is aimed to understand the physical phenomena of contact interactions between the DLC coated surface and the liquid. In this study, double-layer

Lubricants are applied extensively in metal forming. Currently, methods to prevent wear are always emphasize the need for lubricants with ability to form boundary layers, chemically bonded to tool and workpiece surfaces. Tailored tool surface topography, as a kind of new engineered tool surfaces consisting of lubricant pockets on a hard tool materi

Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) have significant properties such as low density, high specific resistance, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, low-cost, low abrasive nature, and reactive surface for easy modification. Water contamination from various sources has become a serious problem in recent years. Hence, this study will serve the

Recent data provided by UNHCR indicated that 85% of the world’s displaced people are hosted in developing countries, while Asia and the Pacific are homes to about 3.5 million refugees. These hosting countries are often not well equipped with the resources needed to accommodate for the huge surplus in the number of refugees. The ability to predict

In this study, calcium oxide were synthesized from fish bone waste and the optimum condition: catalyst amount, reactor temperature, and methanol to oil ratio (molar) for biodiesel production were studied. The calcium oxide (CaO) derived from fish bone wastes was then supported on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to easily separate the catalyst and biodiesel

The world’s population is ageing rapidly. Older people are at risk of having mental illnesses particularly depression but it is often misdiagnosed and undertreated. It affects general wellbeing and daily functions of the patients.7 ASIA PACIFIC PRIMARY CARE RESEARCH CONFERENCE 27 - 29 JUNE 2019 BAYVIEW HOTEL, GEORGETOWN PENANG, MALAYSIA Email: mp

In the past decade, the revolution in miniaturization (microprocessors, batteries, cameras etc.) and manufacturing of new type of sensors resulted in a new regime of applications based on smart objects called IoT. Majority of such applications or services are to ease human life and/or to setup efficient processes in automated environments. However,

Waqf institutions have contributed significantly towards the advancement of ummah during the golden era of Islamic civilization. In line with rapid development of Islamic financial system throughout the world, unit trust has been identified as one of the financial instruments to have potential as waqf asset. Such approach is also supported by an ef

The research highlights some explanations on the status of Arabic grammar and its origin with the statement that Abu al-Aswad al-Duali was not the author of it. To develop the research presentation, the research discussion focuses on orientalists’ views toward Arabic language as well as the modern views among the Arabs also will be accounted. The

This paper aims to present the viability of unit trust waqf as an alternative asset class for waqf creation. The paper provides the conceptual framework of four models of unit trust waqf and their investment management parameters. This paper starts with the conceptual exploration of the literature in the area of waqf, which are sourced from authent
