Parametric analysis of RSB sensors for concrete strength monitoring using hybrid EMI and WP techniques: Numerical investigation by Haq, Moinul, Khan, Adnan, Naqvi, Tabassum, Mohammad Yusuf, Mohammad Yusuf, Kamyab, Hesam, Chelliapan, Shreeshivadasan

“…The smart piezoelectric Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) patch-based Electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) and Wave propagation (WP) techniques are utilised for accessing the health of concrete at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 & 28 days of concrete hydration. Firstly, the PZT patch-based sensing capabilities are validated with the experimental results from literature by modelling concrete cube for EMI and beam for WP results. …”

A Lean Management Approach of Rice Subsidy Distribution: Some Findings from A Study in Selangor by Sarjiman, Yatimah, Mad Lazim, Halim, Lamsali, Hendrik

“…The results of this study show that most of the officers interviewed do not really understand the Lean philosophy and many officers consider the 5S to be Lean. Research Implications: An understanding of Lean is critical because the Lean approach is a sustainable way to achieve operational excellence and can be applied in many areas. …”

Systematic Literature Review: Lean Ergonomics Analysis in Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Manufacturing Sector by Mohd Aripin, Norhana, Mahmud, Fatimah, Loon, Lee Khai, Hussain, Suhaidah

“…The findings reveal several key points: (1) SMEs commonly implement ergonomics principles addressing awkward postures, repetitive movements, manual material handling, hand-wrist postures, excessive reach, grip strength, and prolonged standing; (2) Lean principles such as SMED, 5S, standardized work, TPM, VSM, and kanban positively impact ergonomics; (3) Various ergonomics assessment methods, including REBA, RULA, HFE, JSI, KIM, OCRA, and Shoaf’s model, are recommended for future research and practical application; (4) Ergonomics can underpin lean transformation efforts, with Lean Manufacturing (LM) contributing to reduced ergonomics risks. …”

The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…Using the 5 m resolution bathymetry as a baseline refer-ence model, the results showed that the 10 m – 50 m bathymetry models produce reasonably accurate coastal waves, with maximum wave heights and first wave arrival times that are only ≤10% and ≤5% lower than expected, respectively. …”

Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. Hence, it is an essential and significant problem to maintain system’s stability with high level wind power penetration. …”

Precursor-driven acidity enhancement in Titania-modified KCC-1 for efficient n-Hexane hydroisomerization by Mahadi, Bahari, Aishah, Abdul Jalil, Nurul Sahida, Hassan, Madzlan, Abd Aziz, Izzudin, N. M., Arezudin, A., Rahman, A. F.A., Rajendran, Saravanan, Kamarizan, Kidam, Herma Dina, Setiabudi

“…Among the n-hexane hydroisomerization catalysts, Ti-Iso/KCC-1 stands out with the most substantial isomer production, achieving a notable 59.7 % yield, followed by TiCl4/KCC-1 (54.5 %) > TiSO4/KCC-1 (54.1 %) > KCC-1 (23.1 %). This trend corresponds with the sequence of total area acid amount from NH3-TPD desorption peaks, highlighting the enhanced isomer activity in Ti-Iso/KCC-1 compared to others due to higher amounts of acidity.…”
