Juxtaposing needs analysis with rights analysis has been an alternative approach in employing needs analysis in EAP (Benesch, 1999, 2001). On a different note, Hyland (2006) proposes that EAP can be related to three areas of controversies: 1) the two approaches in EAP – EGAP and ESAP; 2) the approaches in the teaching of student writing – the s

The understanding of ergonomics is a vital competency for all peripheral nerve block operators. The essence of physical ergonomics for peripheral nerve block procedures can be summarised into three significant components: brain, musculoskeletal and needling. The first component includes strategies to optimise visuospatial neuroprocessing using equi

Inconel 718 is widely used in the aviation, space, navigation and shipping industries because of its outstanding properties. The very mechanical characteristics that give this alloy the highly valued properties also make it one of the most difficult-to-machine aerospace materials. Due to the hardness of nickel-based super-alloys, such as Inconel 71

Various methods of chatter suppression have been introduced to control chatter during machining processes. In this research an innovative approach of chatter suppression during end milling operation using ferrite magnet is being proposed. Design of experiment has been conducted using the Response Surface Method (RSM). The effect of application of m

Considering the demand for reduced cycle time and increased productivity hard turning and milling have become a useful alternative when high material removal rate is an immense requirement. Advantages in hard machining incorporate the complete machining process with a single fixture setup, eliminating intermediate heat treatment and final grinding

In machining process, the machine, cutting and the work piece are integrated to form structural systems which create a dynamic characteristic. Soliman, Ismail [1] observed that vibration can be divided into three types, free vibrations, force vibrations and self-excited vibrations (chatter). As in this project, the focus is more on the chatter that

Brittle materials are hard to machine while maintaining the surface roughness desired. A brittle material will have little tendency to deform before it fractures when it is subjected to stress. Brittle material is also consider as a material which fails in tension rather than shear and has little or no evidence of plastic deformation before it fail

Machine tool chatter is an intensive type of vibration of the work-tool-fixture (WTF) system during metal cutting. It is caused by interaction of the instability of the chip formation process and natural frequencies of the individual components of the WTF system [1, 2, 3]. It was established earlier [1, 2] and confirmed by recent investigations [4]

The techniques of High Speed Machining (HSM), while still in an initial stage of wide acceptance, have already been proven in leading aircraft manufacturing plants [1]. HSM has been applied successfully to materials like magnesium and aluminum. Among the titanium alloys, Ti-6Al-4V being the most commonly used and it is the workhorse alloy of the ti

It is crucial that Muslim healthcare professionals understand the Islamic perspective of life, health, illness, and death issues to provide a holistic care to their patients, especially those who are terminally or critically ill. Terminally ill patients would inevitably require specialized treatment such as palliative care or hospice care, dependin
