Purpose - The aim of this study is to discover the critical success factors (CSFs) for the Halal supply chain management because this area is gaining recognition. Plus, the aim is to use the CSFs for...
View ArticleElucidating factors important for monovalent cation selectivity in enzymes:...
Many enzymes require a specific monovalent cation (M+), that is either Na+ or K+, for optimal activity. While high selectivity M+ sites in transport proteins have been extensively studied, enzyme M+...
View ArticleMixed mode of dissolving immersed nanodroplets at a solid-water interface
The dissolution dynamics of microscopic oil droplets (less than 1 mm in height, i.e. nanodroplets) on a hydrophobilized silicon surface in water was experimentally studied. The lateral diameter was...
View ArticleReal-time driver drowsiness feedback improves driver alertness and...
Driver drowsiness has been implicated as a major causal factor in road accidents. Tools that allow remote monitoring and management of driver fatigue are used in the mining and road transport...
View ArticleInfluence of z-pin length on the delamination fracture toughness and fatigue...
The effect of z-pin length on the mode I and mode II delamination toughness and fatigue resistance of z-pinned carbon-epoxy composites is investigated. Experimental testing and mechanical modelling...
View ArticleThe effects of connectivity on metapopulation persistence: Network symmetry...
A spatial metapopulation is a mosaic of interconnected patch populations. The complex routes of colonization between the patches are governed by the metapopulation's dispersal network. Over the past...
