Nd-Yag (Neodymium Yttrium) pulsed wave laser has been used to modify and refine the surface microstructure of acicular bainitic ductile iron.The wear characteristics evaluated by adhesion and abrasion wear tests while friction characteristics evaluated by using strain gauge technique of the laser processed and unprocessed (as-cast) specimens were s

Abstract Background Protein kinases and phosphatases regulate protein phosphorylation, a critical means of modulating protein function, stability and localization.The identification of functional networks for protein phosphatases has been slow due to their redundant nature and the lack of large-scale analyses.We hypothesized that a genome-scale ana

Silica fume (SF) and palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB) are the by-products of the ferroalloy smelting industry and oil palm plantation, which require proper disposal to minimize the environmental impacts.To consume the by-products, the feasibility of utilizing SF and EFB to fabricate bricks was studied.Limited studies were adopting EFB as the natura

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition affecting primary school learners, often leading to misconceptions, stigma, and limited social inclusion.These misconceptions transpire because of a lack of knowledge regarding Carpet Spot / Gum Removers the condition and may lead to high school dropouts.This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect
