Criminal liability for breach of fiduciary duty: a case of criminal breach of trust by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate by Halim, Akmal Hidayah, Mohd Noor, Nor Azlina

“…In such a case, the personal representative could be charged for criminal breach of trust as provided by the Malaysian Penal Code and would therefore be punished with imprisonment, whipping and fine. This paper aims to examine whether such punishment is adequate in regulating the conducts of the personal representative and remedying the estate beneficiaries against the misconducts of such personal representative. …”

Role of the frequency of secondary serrated teeth in chatter formation during turning of carbon steel AISI 1040 and stainless steel by Amin, A. K. M. Nurul, Nashron, F. R., Zubaire, W. W. D.

“…However, Amin [14] concluded based his experimental investigations that during turning there is an inherent instability of metal cutting process as a result of the formation of secondary serrated teeth at the free edge of the chip and that the natural frequencies of two system components namely, the spindle-work system and the tool holder, played significant role in exciting chatter during turning operation.…”
