Due to increase in the number of goods carrying tricycles, the amount of noise and pollution on our roads has increased. To optimize the control of the engine noise emission for tricycle, different absorptive material liners have been introduced into muffler design. In this study, the performance of Aerogel, Ceramic, Kenaf fibre, Polyester and Rockwool as absorptive material liners on the trans...

This study evaluated the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on chemical composition (fibrous structure) and nutritive value Hedychium gardnerianum (ginger lily), a fibre source traditionally used in ruminant feeding Azores. Ginger lily samples were manually harvested dried forced-air oven at 65ºC until constant weight. Treatments applied by spraying ginger with NaOH solution concentration 0...

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.), or chufa, is a plant that found in nature and cultivated for its edible tubers. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition, nutritive value, vitro digestibility three tiger varieties using gas production technique. These were Sar??eker (yellow), Introduction 1, Balyumru (brown). Rumen fluid obtained from two cannulated Holstein animals...

a feeding trial of 120 days duration was conducted to study the effect of replacing 20 and 25 % of camel ration by poultry litter (pl) on the performance and some blood biochemical parameters. fifteen healthy one–humped camels were allotted into three groups (5 animals / group). the first group was fed a basal ration and considered as control, while the second and third groups were fed rations ...

Napiergrass can produce large amounts of biomass and its nutritive value has a significant effect on its effectiveness for animal production. However, temperature and drought stress limit its productivity. Drought-tolerant pearl millet · napiergrass hybrid (PMN) varieties were developed and produce high biomass yields. The nutritional content and digestibility of PMN is not well known, which li...

The composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance and high specific strength and stiffness which have led to numerous advanced applications ranging from the military and civil aircraft structures to the consumer products. However, the modelling of the beams undergoin...

Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) have appeared as the most suitable materials for shipbuilding, aeronautical and aerospace applications due to their superior mechanical properties over traditional materials. In this paper, degradation in flexural and impact properties of glass fibre/epoxy composite (GF/E composite) and stainless steel glass fibre/epoxy fibre metal laminate (SS FML) due to hygrother...
