This paper presents effects of silicon carbide SiC powder concentration on micro EDM parameters on average surface roughness (Ra). The aim is to achieve minimum Ra value on titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) machined with tungsten electrode for various level of concentration of SiC powder and discharge energy (E). By using two-parameter and four-level fact

This paper discusses the fabrication of nanopillars using focused ion beam (FIB) sputtering. A 25 keV Ga+ FIB was used to machine the nanopillars. A reversed bitmap method was used to fabricate nanopillars where it milled the substrate all over except the nanopillar area. The height of the nanopillars ranges from 1 to 5.5 μm with aspect ratio of 1

Tool based micromilling is a promising micromanufacturing technology to produce miniaturized features of about 25μm in size frMEMS and Bio-MEMS applications.It is the most flexible and the fastest way to produce complex three dimensional microcomponents including sharp edges with surface finish at a reasonble cost.Moreover,it is capable of machini

Cell culture is one of the major tools in life sciences. Conventionally, cells are placed in a flat petri dish made of glass or plastic. It is used to monitor cells behavior under controlled conditions. As the cells are strongly adhered to petri dish, an additional process of trypsinization is applied to remove the cells from the dish. Alternativel

Islamic history has given us undeniable proof on the contributions of the Muslims to the welfare of the public, achieving honour and economic prosperity in this worldly life, governed by the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Today, the situation has shifted, where the deviation of Muslims from Islamic teachings is a direct cause of their decline.

This paper examines the informational content of Implied Volatility (IV) for 493 Malaysian and 945 Thaistructured call warrants from 2014 to 2015. Unlike a regular warrant (issued by the firm) and attached to bonds, loan stocks, or preferred stocks as sweeteners, a structured warrant is issued by a third party.. Structured warrant is a prevalent ex

R-38TM is a traditional herbal supplement for treating arthritis-related conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed for identification and quantification of rosmarinic acid in the R-38TM water extract. The anti-arthritic potential of the R-38TM water extract was investigated by measuring the production of IL-6

Background. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that may influence the management outcome in patients with jugular paragangliomas. Methods. The surgical records of 121 cases of jugular paraganglioma(Fisch classifications C and D) were reviewed. Results. The average follow-up was 88 months. Intracranial extension (ICE; Fisch classi

Background. Long whiskered catfish, Mystus gulio (Hamilton, 1822), enjoys a high consumer preference and market demand in many Asian countries including India. However, the growth of this fish is very slow under normal aquaculture conditions. The non-hormonal growth promoter—cholymbi—which contains minerals and the essential amino acids lysine

This paper analyses the implementation of policy and administration of urban transportation system in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The Klang Valley was chosen as the study area due to its phenomenal growth in the last two decades that affected the administration of its urban transportation system. Interviews were utilized as the main research instru
