This study presents the effect of jatropha curcas biodiesel on the wear and corrosion behavior of composite coated AISI 4340 low alloy steel surface which was modified by TIG torch surface melting technique. Ferro-titanium carbide (Fe-TiC) composite coating layer of 970 µm thickness was produced by preplacement of 1 mg/mm2 TiC particulate into the

Creativity and innovation is very part of human nature (fitrah) which makes human beings different from and special among other beings. Islam gives very high importance to health as evidenced in the Quran and the Sunnah, and Muslim civilization that flourished in Bagdad and Spain made original contributions to medicine including diagnosis, pharmaco

Application of composite material for brake rotor has the potential to improve braking performance due to its attractive properties when compared to cast iron material. Aluminium composite has superior specific strength, higher coefficient of thermal expansion/heat dissipation rate with low mass density. These characteristics possess the tendency t

Micro-electro discharge machining (micro-EDM) technique, an advanced noncontact machining process, is used for structuring of nonconductive ZrO2 ceramic. In this study copper foil as a conductive layer is adhered on the workpiece surface to initiate the sparks and kerosene is used as dielectric for creation of continuous conductive pyrolytic carbon

Lightweight materials are significantly replacing heavy materials in the automotive industry in order to compensate weight reduction which in turn translates to energy saving. Efforts by researchers to overcome this limitation give rise to contemporary light weight composite materials which has the potential tribo-mechanical properties to replace a

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and test technology-related critical success factors (CSFs) and its impact on trust and customer satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyses the causal relationship that exists between technology CSFs and customer satisfaction. It also investigates the mediating role of trus

Interactive Multimedia (IMM) applications such as voice and video conferencing are very important in our learning environment. They offer useful services that benefit its users but these services suffers performance degradation from today’s high speed Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). However, guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) remains the bot

Carotenoids are antioxidants with pharmaceutical potential. The major carotenoids important to humans are α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin. Some of the biological functions and actions of these individual carotenoids are quite similar to each other, whereas others are specific. Besides genotype and locati

The objective of the paper is to determine the factors associated with the adoption of social networking sites for Malaysian Muslim users where it is hypothesized that the thought of the Muslims might differ from others due to their unique religious and social believes.A complete self administered questionnaire was collected from 223 Malaysian Musl

Various construction techniques such as tunnel construction and earth drilling result in the production of huge amount muddy water with a high solid-to-liquid ratio. Consequently there is a need for disposing these large quantities of muddy wastewater. Dewatering by conventional belt press filters can achieve only small solids contents leading to h
