Since double-suction centrifugal pumps consume quantities of energy, revealing critical factors for energy dissipation is helpful for energy-saving design.This study aims to investigate the relationship between energy dissipation and vortex based on Rortex method in a double-suction centrifugal pump.Detached eddy simulation was applied to obtain th
Rigid palm oil-based polyurethane/kenaf fibre biocomposite foams were prepared at various amounts of kenaf fibre (i.e.2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 pphp).Effects of kenaf fibre (KF) loadings on thermal stabilities and compressive strength were investigated.The peaks detected by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) at 3,310 cm-1 (OH stretching), 1,533 c
Background: Medical profession is known for stress and challenges due to hectic academic schedules which makes students, high-risk candidates for diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiometabolic disease (CMD).Surrogate markers such as homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) along with routi
Introduction: Integration of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into clinical clerkships in a statewide campus is challenging.The objective of this paper was to describe the implementation and evaluation of a POCUS curriculum that was added to Emergency Medicine Creamer (EM) and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) core clinical rotations in a distribu
Contemporary city cultures are often defined in relation to the processes of late-capitalism and commodification.Today, in various parts of Throw the world, the previously dominant industrial cities have been replaced by cities of consumption (Urry 1995: 123).Cities are treated as sites for representation, masquerade and sociability (Featherstone a
