Studies on fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite and their characteristics by Nagarajan Sathish

“…When the fiber volume ratio was increased, Elvax 3185 matrix specimen’s load carrying capacity and Young’s modulus increased and the ultimate strength decreased. It was vice versa for HDPE matrix specimens. In the beginning, the laminates were fabricated and tested using only one type of resin for each laminate. …”

Hybrid brain computer interface for relaxation management by Ngian, Michelle Mei Xue

“…In mental engagement and mental response, participants are observed to be having lower engagement level and higher stress level during least liked passage and vice versa for most liked passage. This proved that multimodal system makes evaluation process much more reliable together with visual and mental engagement and other modalities such as heart rate variability, mental and reaction response. …”

Unveiling the importance of controllable growth of c-axis oriented Sn-doped ZnO nanorod arrays: Towards humidity sensing applications by Ahmad Syakirin, Ismail @ Rosdi, Mohamad Hafiz, Mamat, Ruziana, Mohamed, Embong, Z., Kossar, Shahnaz

“…Morphology images taken using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) demonstrated an enlargement of the average diameter of the nanorod arrays from 55 nm at 5 min immersion to 122 nm at 200 min immersion. The cross-sectional and surface elemental analysis showed that the sample immersed for 60 min has the highest detection of Sn, with a bulk concentration of 1.8 at.% and surface concentration of 1 at.%. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Drop-cast single chains were proposed to either retain its extended conformation in CHCl3 solution, or adopt an ordered structure with hair-pin loops, giving rise to two corresponding distinct types of intensity traces. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”

Smart home control system design using internet of things based energy harvesting technology by Silalahi, Lukman Medriavin, Indrawan, Muhammad Rafi, Budiyanto, Setiyo, Hanafi, Dirman, Abdul Hamid, Abdul Hamid, Ronaldo, Davit

Enhanced Laplace Pressures for Functional Surfaces: Wicking, Switchability, and Selectivity by Wilke, Kyle L, Song, Youngsup, Lu, Zhengmao, Wang, Evelyn N

“…Moreover, with a water‐hexane mixture system, selective wetting of reentrant structures are demonstrated, that is, water can be selectively wicked or repelled in the presence of hexane, and vice versa. These functionalities are achieved, which would typically require complex chemical coatings, solely using surface structures, thus largely expanding the design space for a wide range of thermofluidic applications.…”
