This paper presents the combinations of single-top-quark production crosssection measurements by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, using data from LHC proton–proton collisions at √ s = 7 and 8 TeV corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1.17 to 5.1 fb−1 at √ s = 7 TeV and 12.2 to 20.3 fb−1 at √ s = 8 TeV. These combinations are perf

The engine parts material used in gas turbines (GTs) should be resistant to high-temperature variations. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for gas turbine blades are found to have a significant effect on prolonging the life cycle of turbine blades by providing additional heat resistance. This work is to study the performance of TBCs on the high-tempe

n most of the engineering problems, the sudden expansion at the base is encountered in automobile industries, at the base of the fuselage of the aircraft, at the base of the artillery shells, at the base of the unguided rockets and missiles. At transonic Mach numbers, the contribution of the base drag is more than sixty percent. Hence it is mandato

In most of the engineering problems, the sudden expansion at the base is encountered in automobile industries, at the base of the fuselage of the aircraft, at the base of the artillery shells, at the base of the unguided rockets and missiles. At transonic Mach numbers, the contribution of the base drag is more than sixty percent. Hence it is mandat

Syariah legal practice is an important profession that contributes to the empowerment of Syariah courts in Malaysia. In empowering the Syariah courts, there is also the need for improvement to Syariah legal practice from time to time. Among the proposed improvements are the drafting of a specific act relating to the Syariah legal practice by Parlia

A numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the control of base pressure with microjets in a suddenly expanded duct. Microjets placed at the pitch circle diameter (PCD) of 13 mm, two micro jets of 1 mm orifice diameter located at 900 for active control. The flow Mach number of the investigation was M = 2.2, the L/D ratio of the enlarge

Crack propagation until fracture is an important criterion to predict a structure‘s service life. In order to increase the latter, the cracked component needs to be repaired or replaced. In the present study, a finite element analysis has been carried out to investigate the effects of adhesive thickness, patch thickness and crack length on the pa

The blunt base either in the front or at the rear portion of the vehicles is prevalent and is found in railways where the front and rear portions the coaches are blunt, which results in zero velocity and hence the stagnation pressure, which is undesirable. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the splitter plate on the wake control

This paper investigates the influence of repair configuration on a rectangular plate with a circular hole and subjected to uniform tensile load. The fundamental idea is to study the stress created by either a composite or piezoelectric (PZT) patch on a hole along the width of a rectangular plate. Finite element ANSYS software was used to evaluate t

Learning management systems have been largely used in universities for teaching, student learning, curriculum, and staff development. However, just providing higher education institutions with a learning management system does not guarantee a success. Quality assurance of these systems has become a central concern for practitioners, researchers, an
