Nonlinearities and parametric uncertainties are unavoidable problems faced in controlling robot manipulator. A single link manipulator driven by a permanent magnet brushed dc motor is a nonlinear dynamics due to effects of gravitational force, mass of the payload, posture of the manipulator and viscous friction coefficient. Furthermore, uncertainti

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To achieve higher surface hardnesses with a steep hardness profile of the nitrided case is one of the main objectives of nitriding of commercial low-alloy steels. The effects of nitriding process variables and prior austenitizing and tempering temperatures have been investigated using En40B steels gas—nitrided at 470, 520 and 570 °C in different

Industrialisation has resulted in large-scale production of anthropogenic pollutants, particularly heavy metals. The process of removal of heavy metals by seaweed, a marine plant species is called biosorption. This helps in improving water quality but might lead to seaweed toxicity as many heavy metals are toxic even in trace amounts. This study ai

The Effect of Carbopol 940 on Physical Stability of Palm Olein Emulsions Stabilised by Span and Tween Surfactants
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Viscosity inducing agents are commonly used to modify the rheological properties of emulsions. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of the concentration of Carbopo1 940 on the physical stability and rheological properties of palm olein-in-water emulsions prepared with Span 20/Tween 20 and Span 20/Tween 80. Based on the creaming b
