Efficient manufacture of dimensionally accurate optical surface on hard and brittle materials is a major concern for optoelectronic industry. Electrolytic in process dressing (ELID) grinding is proved as a reliable process to achieve this optical quality nano-surface finish on hard and brittle materials. Besides surface finish it is important to en

In Malaysia, there are few heritage buildings with an architectural and historical significance that may classified into several categories, namely traditional timber Malay houses, pre-world war shop-houses, colonial office buildings, institutional buildings and religious buildings. Many of them are worthy to be listed as Heritage Buildings or Nati

Potato starches with various contents of amylose from the Eniwa, Benimaru, and Norin No. 1 cultivars were blended with wheat flour at 10 to 50% potato starch (on a weight basis), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies were then conducted to determine if there were any traces of starch at 30% wt suspension. The amylose content of Eniwa

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces at a 30 wt% suspension were studied for mixture of wheat flour and following starches: potato (PS), sweet potato (SPS), yam (YS), and cassava (CS) at 10% to 50% starch. In the endothermal transition, the gelatinization peak temperature of the first peak (TP1) was attributed to the wheat flour and that

A new configuration for an erbium-doped fiber laser is reported. It incorporates a linear cavity with fiber loopback and a tunable bandpass filter (TBF). This configuration suppresses the amplified spontaneous emission and achieves a highly stable output power of more than 18 dBm at 1560 nm. A standard spectrum is obtained with TBF adjustment.New e

A novel configuration of a new erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) is constructed and analyzed. It utilizes embedded fiber-loop mirrors, tunable filters with a linear laser oscillation. Implementing the linear cavity fiber loop (LCFL) as a new configuration using three circulators and two tunable band-pass filters (TBF), the output power in the single

Disease and its healing in most of the therapeutic strategies are mainly based either on physical or metaphysical aspects. Therapeutic strategies in Islam, on the other hand, are based on a combination of spiritual, psychological, and material means. It is, therefore, important to analyze current therapeutic strategies according to the Qur’an and

Diel rhythmicity of grazing, swimming, resting and social interactions of rohu (Labeo rohita) (weight 66.5-68.3 g) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) (79.9^82.0 g) were observed in 1m2 simulated ponds using video images. Fish behaviour was monitored during a full 24-h period, starting at 08:00 hourswith a15-min recording, which was repeated every 3

The in vitro biosynthesis of metallothionein (MT) was investigated in thrombocyte precursors (megakaryocytes) isolated from human cord blood. Biosynthesis and induction of MT in magnetic cell sorting-separated CD61(+) megakaryocytes was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal mouse anti-MT. The presence of MT was detected both in

Abstract: This describes the finite element based fatigue life prediction of cylinder head for two-stroke linear engine subjected to variable amplitude loading applicable to electric power generation. A set of Al-alloys, cast iron and forged steel for cylinder head are considered in this study.American Journal of Applied Sciences 7 (10): 1364-1 371
