Phase Transformation of Kaolin-Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag from Geopolymerization to Sintering Process
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The main objective of this research was to investigate the influence of curing temperature on the phase transformation, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the as-cured and sintered kaolin-ground granulated blast ...
The effects of various concentrations of NaOH on the inter-particle gelation of a fly ash geopolymer aggregate
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
Aggregates can be categorized into natural and artificial aggregates. Preserving natural resources is crucial to ensuring the constant supply of natural aggregates. In order to preserve these natural resources, the production ...
Thermal properties of ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)/ montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
The viability of nanocomposites comprising Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) filled montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as candidate materials of biomedical devices was investigated. EVA/MMT nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating ...
Influence of Activated Carbon Particles on Intermetallic Compound Growth Mechanism in Sn-Cu-Ni Composite Solder
(EDP Sciences, 2016-10)
The influence of Activated Carbon (AC) particles on mechanical properties of Sn-Cu-Ni-xAC solder joint was investigated. Five different Activated Carbon (AC) percentage addition (0 wt. %, 0.25 wt. %, 0.5 wt. %, 0.75 wt. ...
A Green Approach to Modify Surface Properties of Polyurethane Foam for Enhanced Oil Absorption
(MDPI AG, 2020-08)
The non-selective property of conventional polyurethane (PU) foam tends to lower its oil absorption efficiency. To address this issue, we modified the surface properties of PU foam using a rapid solvent-free surface ...
Screening drug, alcohol and substance abuse the Psychometric measures
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Urinalysis was used in previous studies among higher institution students (n=16252) in Malaysia to answer the question of whether university students are involved in drug abuse. However, the use of urinalysis had faced ...
The effect of brief cognitive behavioural therapy group intervention on self esteem among drug users
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Self-esteem is related to the individuals understanding and accepting the existing character and attitude to themselves. Failure to understand and accept their own strengths and weaknesses and in the same time do not have ...
Perception of teacher on Cooperative Learning
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
The participation of students in the process of learning is one of the keys to ensure effective learning outcomes either in terms of knowledge or skill. However, teacher-centred teaching methods which have been practiced ...
High performance systolic array core architecture design for DNA sequencer
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
This paper presents a high performance systolic array (SA) core architecture design for Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequencer. The core implements the affine gap penalty score Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm. This time-consuming ...
Energy efficient routing protocols for wireless sensor networks: comparison and future directions
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
Wireless sensor network consists of nodes with limited resources. Hence, it is important to design protocols or algorithms which increases energy efficiency in order to improve the network lifetime. In this paper, techniques ...
