Propeller test stand / Syed Khomeini Syed Hassan and Abd Manan Abd Rahman

One of importance parameters that determine the performance of an aircraft is the characteristic of the propulsion system. In designing an aircraft that uses propellers as the propulsive device, the availability of characteristics such as thrust coefficient, power coefficient and efficiency, which changes with advance ratio, are important to the designer so that accurate decision can be made. Previous student have design the propeller test stand that can be used in the wind tunnel to get the propeller characteristics. We continue this project starting with calibrating the thrust and torque measurement plates and then testing in the wind-tunnel for three different types of propellers. However, when we began testing the propeller in the wind-tunnel using the propeller test stand, the data logger malfunctioned. Our advisor suggested that we have to reduce our scope of the testing to static condition. To accomplish this objective a new test stand was successfully designed and fabricated using facilities available in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering’s Workshop. The test stand was designed for Super Stock Type-R electric motor. The maximum rotational speed of the electric motor is 7000 rpm. From the results data and the graph plotted, it shows that the thrust force is increase when the rotational speed of propeller is increase and the diameter of the propeller become larger

Islamic Psycho-Spiritual Support Model for Disaster Victims

Religiosity and spiritual experiences are primarily associated with better physical and mental health, less need for health services, faster recovery from illness, and increased longevity.  Unfortunately, in any disasters or calamities, psycho-spiritual consequences are given less emphasis. In fact, to date, there has been no specific and comprehensive religious-based model being introduced to the victims in minimizing the risks of psycho-spiritual impacts. Therefore, the objective of this study is to describe a proposed model of psycho-spiritual support for disaster victims based on the Islamic principles of maqasid shariah.

Gelatinization properties of sago and wheat flour mixtures

Gelatinization or pasting properties of sago-wheat flour mixtures (10-50% sago) were studied for mixtures of sago-high protein wheat flour (HPW), sago-medium protein wheat tlour (MPW) and sago-low protein wheat flour (LPW). Gelatinization temperature (TG)increased as the sago portion in HPW, MPW and LPW increased. The peak temperature (Tp) and peak viscosity (Vp) increased with increasing sago in the sago-wheat mixtures. The setback values (5B) in sago-LPW mixtures were higher than in sago-HPW and sago-MPW mixtures. The setback viscosities (Vs) were not much different for any mixtures or control flours. The breakdown viscosities (VB) increased with increased sago in the mixtures. The breakdown value (BD) increased with increased sago in the sago-wheat mixtures

Our company will provide the special price for student and for those who be a membership. This will reduce their burden to spend more cost for that. This business also will test the customer skin first before give any treatment and make-up. This is to ensure the customer will avoid from any problem such as allergic, sensitive skin etc. So, our company will try for the best to provide good services to the customer

Positional Behavior Of Robinson’s Banded Langur (Presbytis femoralis robinsoni)

Presbytis femoralis robinsoni, locally known as the ‘lutong ceneka’, is an endemic femoralis subspecies to the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. This langur warrants immediate conservation attention, as it is categorized as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with a declining numbers of population trend and being threatened with numerous conservation issues.With poor understanding on population status and unresolved conservation framework in Malaysia, data on behavioral ecology such as positional behavior of P. f. robinsoni are non-existent in Malaysia. Thus, this study describes the first record on qualitative aspects of the positional behavior of Robinson’s banded langur (P. f. robinsoni) in the Sungai Sedim Recreation Forest (SSRF), Kedah, Malaysia. The positional behaviors of P. f. robinsoni in SSRF involve sitting, lying, quadrupedal standing, bipedal standing, clinging, and forelimb suspension. These varieties of observed positional modes may be identified as it may related to the primary forest habitat conditions. Understanding langur behavioural responses to their natural habitat environments are useful in developing an effective conservation framework for the Robinson’s banded langur in Malaysia

Addressing non-communicable diseases in Malaysia: an integrative process of systems and community

The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCD risk factors in Malaysia have risen substantially in the last two decades. The Malaysian Ministry of Health responded by implementing, "The National Strategic Plan for Non-Communicable Diseases (NSP-NCD) 2010-2014", and the "NCD Prevention 1Malaysia" (NCDP-1M) programme. This paper outlines the primary health system context in which the NCDP-1M is framed. We also discuss the role of community in facilitating the integration of this programme, and outline some of the key challenges in addressing the sustainability of the plan over the next few years. The paper thus provides an analysis of an integration of a programme that involved a multi-sectoral approach with the view to contributing to a broader discourse on the development of responsive health systems

Statistical modelling of eugenol benzoate synthesis using rhizomucor miehei lipase reinforced nanobioconjugates

The chemical route for synthesizing eugenol benzoate is concomitant with a myriad of environmentally unfavorable practices viz. the use toxic chemicals, tedious separation process and emancipation of harmful unwanted by-products. In this perspective, an alternative technique utilizing Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) immobilized onto activated chitosan-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (RML/CS/MWCNTs) is proposed. The properties and morphology of the RML/CS/MWCNTs were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The approach of response surface methodology employing the central composite design (CCD) based on four parameters (incubation time, temperature, substrate molar ratio, and enzyme loading) were used to optimize the experimental conditions for the RML/CS/MWCNTs catalyzed synthesis of eugenol benzoate. The study found that the high yield production of eugenol benzoate is greatly affected by factors such as temperature and incubation time. Under optimized conditions, the highest yield of eugenol benzoate was obtained (56.13%) at 60 °C, 6 h of incubation time, enzyme loading (15 mg) and molar ratio of eugenol/benzoic acid of 4:1. Therefore, the RML/CS/MWCNTs developed here appear to be a promising alternative yet environmentally friendly biocatalyst for a sustainable production of eugenol benzoate

A farinograph study on the viscoelastic properties of sago/wheat flour dough systems

Doughs containing mixtures of sago and wheat flours of differing protein content at different levels of sago substitution (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50%) were prepared as follows: sago + high protein wheat (HPW) flour, sago + medium protein wheat (MPW) flour and sago + low − protein wheat (LPW) flour. The viscoelasticity of doughs from control sago and wheat flours and sago/wheat flour mixtures was determined using a Braberder farinograph. It was found that arrival time increased with increasing protein content in themixture. Peak time for control wheat flours and sago/wheat flour mixtures increased with increasing protein content. Dough stability, 20 min drop and water absorption were found to decrease as the sago proportion in the mixture decreased. The 50% sago/LPW mixture was unable to form a dough. Breakdown times for control HPW flour and HPW flour mixtures were the highest, followed by MPW flour and then LPW flour. However, breakdown time for controlMPW flour was higher than that for HPW flour mixtures. The same trend was observed at all ratios of mixture over the whole experiment
