Processes involved in the design of a segmented rubber tracked vehicle for Sepang peat terrain in Malaysia by Rahman, Mohammed Ataur, Yahya, Azmi, Bardaie, Mohd. Zohadie, Wan Ismail, Wan Ishak

“…The simulation results showed that the nominal ground pressure of the vehicle is 23.5% lower than the bearing capacity of the peat terrain. The location of the centre of gravity of the vehicle at 300mm rearward from the mid-point of the track ground contact length ensures a maximum sinkage of 90 mm, a minimum motion resistance of 12% and a maximum tractive efficiency of 74% during traversing at 10 km/hr on the peat terrain. …”

Optimization of the elicitation process on chrysanthemum indicum cell suspension culture producing xanthine oxidase inhibitor by Amid, Azura, Jamal, Parveen

“…Analysis of results proved that chitosan is the best elicitor to increase activity of xanthine oxidase inhibitor in C. indicum to 1.457 fold higher than the unelicited. The highest xanthine oxidase activity was obtained by chitosan elicitation at concentration of 0.16 g L-1 and it was elicited at 1.25 day cultivation or at 30 h culture with percentage inhibition of 61.818%.…”

Facilitating student engagement with academic writing : review of an online resource in a widening participation context by Sinfield, Sandra, Burns, Tom, Wallace, Mark, Davies, Caroline, Holley, Debbie, Albon, Debbie

This paper reviews the ‘Write to Learn’ (W2L) resource that was produced by collaboration between academic, learning development and learning technology staff to support students in their real-life situations - with their actual academic writing tasks.…”
