Mapping the doctoral students’ experiences: A customer journey analysis by Puteri Fadzline, Muhamad Tamyez, Norhana, Mohd Aripin, Muhammad Ashraf, Fauzi, Senthil, Kumar

“…Two independent researchers used triple coding and thematic analysis to unpack the experiences grounded by the perspective of the self-regulation model of a behaviour feedback loop. The findings suggest two pre-journey themes: supervisor selection and personal concerns, and three during-journey themes, namely, research complexity, administrative hurdles, and personal and social support struggles. …”

Experimental investigation on the effect of masked multiple passes abrasive waterjet machining surface texturing on coefficient of friction by Hafiz, Husin, Mohd Nazir, Mat Nawi, Asmelash, Mebrahitom Asmelash, Kushendarsyah, Saptaji, Azmir, Azhari

“…The texture was applied on the surface of stainless steel by masked multi-passes AWJM technique. According to the findings, there is less friction in craters with greater densities because there are more craters in the contact zone, which improves the trapping of debris particles and reduces friction, when the crater density rises from 4% to 18%, there is a greater chance of worn debris becoming trapped, which reduces friction. …”
