Performance cost index in evaluating oil palm stem as alternative fibre material in chain of custody certification of plywood mills in Malaysia by Adnan, Aida

“…Result of the study shows that seven cost components were identified in COC certification; 1) cost of procuring certified raw material (MYR1.24/m³ to MYR2.44/m³); 2) consultancy (plus training) MYR0.41/m³ to MYR0.47/m³); 3) auditing fees (MYR0.99/m³ to MYR1.59/m³); 4) documentation (MYR0.04/m³ to MYR0.27/m³); 5) marketing or promotional (MYR0.35/m³ to MYR0.49/m³); 6) continuous training (MYR0.00/m³ to MYR0.21/m³) and 7) cost for hiring additional staff or reward given (MYR0.00/m³ to MYR0.06/m³). 41% of the certification cost was due to certified raw material which is statistically significant at P≤0.05. …”

Phonon transport in nanowire with contacts : size and doping by Li, Jing, Au Yeung, Tin Cheung, Kam, Chan Hin

“…It is also found that the interior atom substitution has more impact on the thermal conductance over surface atom; substitution near contact surface reduces thermal conductance significantly; thermal conductance is suffering a 10%–20% variation due the random distribution of dopants; 17% of Ge content is sufficient to reduce thermal conductance by 80%.…”

Phonon features in terahertz photoconductivity spectra due to data analysis artifact: A case study on organometallic halide perovskites by Marcus, Ruldoph Arthur, Michel-Beyerle, Maria-Elisabeth, Lam, Yeng Ming, Chia, Elbert Ee Min, La-o-vorakiat, Chan, Cheng, Liang, Salim, Teddy

“…By use of experimental and simulated data of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites as a case study, we demonstrate that a correction term must be included in the approximated thin-film formula used in the literature; otherwise, parts of the spectra with high background permittivity near the phonon-mode resonances might interfere with the transient photoconductivity. …”

Experimental demonstration of Fabry-Perot open resonators in a surface-wave bandgap crystal by Gao, Zhen, Gao, Fei, Xu, Hongyi, Zhang, Youming, Zhang, Baile

“…Due to the complete surface-wave forbidden bandgap, a new FP plasmonic resonance mode exhibiting monopolar features which is missing in both traditional FP resonators and plasmonic resonators is emerged. Near-field response spectra and imaged mode profiles are presented to characterize the properties of these FP open resonators in the microwave regime.…”

A barrier-based smoothing proximal point algorithm for NCPs over closed convex cones by Chua, Chek Beng., Li, Zhen.

“…The use of proximal terms in the algorithm adds stability to the solution of the smoothed normal map equation and avoids numerical issues due to ill-conditioning at iterates near the boundary of the cones. We prove a sufficient condition on the barrier used that guarantees the convergence of the algorithm to a solution of the NCP. …”

Enrichment of SWNT species with chemical approaches and mechanism investigation by Pan, Xiaoyong

“…A series of pyrene derivatives were synthesized and their separation effects on SWNTs based on the electronic properties and diameters have been demonstrated. To overcome the problem enforced by the poor dispersion with the amide-functionalized pyrene derivatives, a series of Polymethacrylates with pendant aromatic functional groups were investigated for their selectivity in SWNTs separation. …”
