Project Managers Selection in the Construction Industry: Towards the Integration with Artificial Emotional Intelligence and Technology by Hanafi, Abdul Ghafur, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Abdul Rahim, Mohd Kamarul Irwan, Abdul Nifa, Faizatul Akmar, Omar, Mohd Faizal, Mohamed, Othman

“…However, can this understanding be used with the help of technology in selecting efficient managers in the construction industry where the rate of increase in costs and delays in the construction project never ends and even increases? This conceptual paper proposes a study exploring the theory of artificial emotional intelligence in the construction industry to reduce the increase in cost and time overrun in the project using mixed-method research. …”

Coacervates derived from mussel foot proteins by Guo, Qi

“…Further characterization results using periodate oxidation, NMR and QC calculation found that Dopa residues could form a transient triangular hydrogen bonding network which is specific for Pvfp-5-Dopa. Pvfp-5-Dopa tended to form microdroplets through transient hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking, while Pvfp-5-Tyr preferred to form insoluble precipitates by the strong cation-π interactions. …”

Effects of energy and protein supplementation on microbial-N synthesis and allantoin excretion in sheep fed guinea grass by Jetana, T, Abdullah, N, Halim, R.A, Jalaludin, S, Ho, Y.W

“…The flow of nitrogenous compounds to the duodenum, i.e., total-N, non-ammonia-N and rumen-undegradable-N were not significantly affected by either protein or energy supplements. Microbial-N flow tended (p<0.08) to be higher in sheep fed CF supplement (average of 10.2 g per day) than in those fed PP supplement (average of 8.1 g per day). …”

Existence and Analysis of a Rotating Stall Inception Continuum & Development of Concept Questions in Fluid Dynamics by Cherry, Maranda F.

“…The results show (i) the dependence of stall inception on the compressor axisymmetric pressure rise characteristic and the characterization of mode and spike stall inception as two paths, located at the ends of a continuum of possible paths to stall. (ii) the effect of blade passage accelerations and asymmetry in the onset process, and (iii) the divergence of stall inception from two-dimensionality as a function of the slope of the total-to-static compressor pressure rise characteristic. …”
