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

These crimes are committed by rivals and in most cases with the

Although web-based learning systems are emerging as a useful tool for facilitating teaching and learning activities, instructors’ use of learning management systems in higher educational institutions is still limited. In this context, this empirical research investigates factors that can potentially contribute to learning management system adopti

This paper contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the relationship between financial development, economic growth, and poverty in Indonesia in the period of 1980–2014.

The advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers positive and negative impacts in our daily life today. Criminals too leverage on sophisticated ICT in their modus operandi. Hence, digital evidences are abundant to be acquired and analysed as part of investigation, today. Two homegrown tools i.e. PenDua and Kloner are used fo

This study focus on reinforcing of durian skin fiber (DSF) and polylactic acid (PLA) for food packaging. Epoxidized palm oil (EPO) was used as a plasticizer to enhance the properties of the biocomposite. The biocomposite was fabricated by extrusion and injection molding processes. The tensile properties of PLA/DSF with EPO improved by 9.3% and 70.0

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are widely applicable for vehicle suspension schemes, and MR fluid sedimentation is an indispensable problem of MR dampers. A Regenerative Dispersion MR Damper (RDMRD) under this research consists of a piston which contains piston and coil case cylinder, coil windings, piston rod, piston head cover, bobbin and one cy
