Face centered central composite design was used to optimize the enzyme loading, reaction temperature and mixing speed of sludge palm oil (SPO) transesterification reaction using locally produced Candida cylindracea lipase. The developed quadratic model was found to be significant at p < 0.05. The highest biodiesel yield of 57.5 % (w/w SPO) and

This paper proposes Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system, consisting of transmitter-receiver coils along with some conditioning and stabilizing circuits. The transmitter circuit is designed with a simple H bridge circuit to supply the pulses to source coil. The efficiency variation or performance with respect to the coil size has been demonstrated

Introduction - IT experts and academicians adopted e-learning to expedite quality education. quality education has a necessity; therefore, higher education is getting a good job to partner with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). MOOC is the virtual learning platform to reform education by adopting information and communication technology infrastr

The concept of sustainable building incorporates and integrates a variety of strategies during the design, construction and operation of building projects. The use of green building materials and products represents one important strategy in the design of a building. Green building materials offer specific benefits to the building owner and buildin

Biomedical signals are non-stationary and a research topic of practical interest as the signal has time varying statistics. The problem of time varying is usually circumvented by assuming local stationary over a short time interval, where stationary techniques are applied. However, features extracted from these methods are not always suitable and m

The structure of the interconnection networks has a crucial effect on the speed of the multi-core processor systems. Sequential computer systems with single CPU core reached their saturation, and they cannot provide high computing power to meet the new technology requirements. Therefore, many designs of interconnection networks have been proposed s

Visual pigments are photopigments in the retinal photoreceptors that absorb light and mediate vision. The absorbance spectra of visual pigments that fish has are closely re-lated to the environmental light in its natural habitats. In order to understand the visual spectral sensitivity of juvenile sutchi catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), the ab

Successful Operations Management Practices (OMP) has a lasting impact on a company’s overall performance. This paper explores the factors influencing OMP in the context of Islamic banks in Bangladesh. A focus group method was used to collect data to clarify the themes of OMP. A survey questionnaire was then distributed to determine the influentia

This study examines managerial and organizational factors associated with high-performance practices and high-performance Malaysian organizations. Theoretically, firm financial performance, organizational productivity, and market responsiveness are theorize d to be connected with a high-performanceorganization.Itisanticipatedthatemployees'produ

Between 1990 and 2020, the global mangrove coverage shrunk by 1.04 million ha. Over the course of three decades, the annual loss rate decreased from 46700 hectares in 1990–2000 to 36300 ha in 2000–2010. Southeast Asia has roughly 33.5% of the world’s mangroves, followed by South America (15.7%), North and Central America (14.7%), and West and
