Multi-products productions from Malaysian oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB): Analyzing economic potentials from the optimal biomass supply chain
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)The economic potentials of Malaysian oil palm empty fruit bunch are realized by several motivating factors such as abundance, cheapness and are generally feasible to produce multi-products that range from energy, chemicals ... -
Multi-scale entropy analysis and Hurst exponent
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)Several methods exist for measuring the complexity in a system through analysis of its associated time series. Multi-scale entropy appears as a successful method on this matter. It has been applied in many disciplines with ... -
A Multi-scale model for CO2 capture: A Nickel-based oxygen carrier in Chemical-looping Combustion
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)In this work, we present a multi-scale modelling framework for the Ni-based oxygen carrier (OC) particle that can explicitly account for the complex reaction mechanism taking place on the contacting surface between gas and ... -
A multi-scale model for coupling strands with shear-dependent liquid
(ACM, 2019-11)We propose a framework for simulating the complex dynamics of strands interacting with compressible, shear-dependent liquids, such as oil paint, mud, cream, melted chocolate, and pasta sauce. Our framework contains three ... -
A multi-scale model for simulating liquid-fabric interactions
(ACM, 2018-07)We propose a method for simulating the complex dynamics of partially and fully saturated woven and knit fabrics interacting with liquid, including the effects of buoyancy, nonlinear drag, pore (capillary) pressure, dripping, ... -
A Multi-scale Model for Simulating Liquid-hair Interactions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-07-20)The diverse interactions between hair and liquid are complex and span multiple length scales, yet are central to the appearance of humans and animals in many situations. We therefore propose a novel multi-component simulation ... -
Multi-scale modeling of head kinematics and brain tissue response to blast exposure
(Springer, 2019-09-15)Injuries resulting from blast exposure have been increasingly prevalent in recent conflicts, with a particular focus on the risk of head injury. In the current study, a multibody model (GEBOD) was used to investigate the ... -
Multiaxial cyclic behaviour and fatigue modelling of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Multiaxial fatigue characteristics of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion are studied through fully-reversed strain controlled cyclic experiments including pure torsional and combined axial-torsional at 0, 45 and 90 phase angle shifts. ... -
Multicopper Laccase Mimicking Nanozymes with Nucleotides as Ligands
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-18)Using nanomaterials to achieve functional enzyme mimics (nanozymes) is attractive for both applied and fundamental research. Laccases are multicopper oxidases highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. ... -
Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)Let Fq[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. We employ Wooley’s new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in Fq[t]. These results allow us to apply a ... -
Multilevel Monte Carlo for noise estimation in stochastic multiscale systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The purpose of this study is to adapt Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) sampling technique for random noise estimation in stochastic multiscale systems and evaluate the performance of this method. The system under consideration ... -
Multimaterial Mesh-Based Surface Tracking
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-07-01)We present a triangle mesh-based technique for tracking the evolution of three-dimensional multimaterial interfaces undergoing complex deformations. It is the first non-manifold triangle mesh tracking method to simultaneously ... -
Multimedia Showdown: A Comparative Analysis of Audio, Video and Avatar-Based Communication
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-08-03)Our new work culture relies heavily on online meetings and computer-mediated communication (CMC). However, making an online meeting engaging while keeping communication productive is a major challenge. We collected ... -
Multiple imputation for the analysis of incomplete compound variables
(Wiley, 2015-06)In many settings interest lies in modelling a compound variable defined as a function of two or more component variables. When one or more of the components are missing, the compound variable is not observed and a strategy ... -
Multiple negative molybdenum isotope excursions in the Doushantuo Formation (South China) fingerprint complex redox-related processes in the Ediacaran Nanhua Basin
(Elsevier, 2019-09-15)The Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation offers one of the most complete and extensively studied records of end- Neoproterozoic biotic and environmental change. Here, we report multiple coeval negative molybdenum (Mo) ... -
Multiple Stressors in the Environment: The Effects of Exposure to an Antidepressant (Venlafaxine) and Increased Temperature on Zebrafish Metabolism
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-11-19)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors working cumulatively to alter ecosystems. Wastewater-dominated environments are often riddled by a myriad of stressors, such as chemical and ... -
