Lubricants are applied extensively in metal forming. Currently, methods to prevent wear are always emphasize the need for lubricants with ability to form boundary layers, chemically bonded to tool and workpiece surfaces. Tailored tool surface topography, as a kind of new engineered tool surfaces consisting of lubricant pockets on a hard tool materi

Hard coating deposited to tool steel surface can greatly improve wear resistance and reduce sticking. Since solid-liquid interactions are present in every lubricated tribological contact, the present study is aimed to understand the physical phenomena of contact interactions between the DLC coated surface and the liquid. In this study, double-layer

End of life (EOL) care presents a number of legal and ethical challenges in all societies irrespective of their economic, cultural, or religious backgrounds. The issues range from attempts to prolong the lives of dying patients through highly advanced medical technologies, to efforts to terminate life prematurely through euthanasia and medically as

It is believed of great interest to incorporate silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) into stable supported materials using biological methods to control the adverse properties of nanoscale particles. In this study, in-situ biofabrication of Ag-NPs using Entada spiralis (E. spiralis) aqueous extract in Ceiba pentandra (C. pentandra) fiber as supporting mat

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been established as antibacterial nanoparticles and have been innovatively developed to overcome the occurrence of antibiotic resistance in the environment. In this study, an environmentally friendly and easy method of the biosynthesis of Ag-NPs plants, mediated by aqueous extract stem extract of Entada spiralis (

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate Malaysian practitioners’ general perspective on corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Islamic banks and their views on having a special CSR framework. Design/methodology/approach – This study used semi-structured face-to-face interviews, which contained both qualitative and quantitative

This paper presents the development and implementation of a user-defined material (UMAT) model for NiTi Shape-Memory Alloy (SMA) wires for use in LS-DYNA commercial explicit finite-element analysis software. The UMAT focusses on the Shape-Memory Effect (SME), which could be used for actuation of aerostructural components. The actuation of a fundame

The objectives of this paper are to translate and adapt the parent proxy Kid-KiddoKINDLRR questionnaire on Quality of Life (QoL) for children with hearing impairment into Malay language and to describe the translation techniques used, as well as the equivalence issues, with regards to morphology and semantics, encountered during the process. A comb

The risk management becomes an important element in the organizations especially corporate organisation and it becomes a requirement to an organization if they want to expand their business to global. The risk management is important to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) to show its readiness in facing up various risk. The RMAF responsibility is

Four types of estimation approaches for prognostic survival oral cancer model building are considered via a SAS algorithm: Efron’s Method, Exact Method, Breslow’s Method, and Discrete Method. Each method is illustrated separately and compared according to their coefficient parameter. An approach is considered by adding a bootstrapping technique
