(2018)To reinforce cement against the attack of supercritical CO2 in a storage site, agricultural wastes (POFA and RHA) and Nano particles (Nano Silica) were used. Post-carbonation tests of agricultural wastes and Nano Silica ...
-
(2018)This thesis aims to develop a core-scale mechanistic model for sandstone acidizing using computational fluid dynamics method. A preliminary screening of different acid is carried out comprehensively through literature ...
-
(2018)This thesis investigated whether childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) differs from phonological disorder (PD) regarding their causal origin. After developing and validating measures targeting components of phonology and ...
-
(2018)Four mathematical models have been developed to study the slip flow of micropolar fluids over a stretching/shrinking sheet under the influence of slip and the Newtonian heating conditions at the boundary. The optimal ...
-
(2018)This thesis investigates the evidence of active tectonics in Sabah, Malaysia. Our geomorphic data result reveals a number of active normal faults. The field visits also reveal a number of normal faults with NW or SE dipping ...
