Enhancing light sources color homogeneity in high-power phosphor-based white ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Color uniformity is one of the essentials for the on-going development of WLED. To achieve a high color uniformity index, increasing the scattering events within the phosphor layers was reported to be the most efficient method and in this article, ZnO is the chosen material to apply in this method. After analyzing the scattering properties through the scattering cross-section , scattering coefficient and scattering phase function , the which outcomes comfirm that ZnO can enhance the scattered light in the phosphor layers. Moreover, the findings from the study of ZnO concentration from 2% to 26% suggest that color uniformity also depends on the fluctuation of ZnO concentration, therefore, to control color uniformity the focus should be implied on both size and concentration of ZnO. The experimental results from this research show that the luminous flux of WLED is at the peak if the concentration of ZnO is at 6%, and when the concentration of ZnO is at 18% and has 100 nm particles size, the ΔCCT reaches the lowest level. The final choice should be based on the desired characteristic of WLEDs, however, if the WLED need to excel in both luminous flux and ΔCCT then 6% ZnO concentration with particles size from 100 nm-300 nm is the optimal choice.

Application of non destructive test for structural health monitoring - state ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The concept of non-destructive testing (NDT) is to obtain material properties “in place” specimens without the destruction of the specimens and to do the structural health monitoring. NDT using Rebound hammer, Ultra pulse velocity, Half-cell potential, core cutter, carbonation depth, rebar locator, Rapid chloride penetration test, electric resistivity meter test and vibration base analysis by data analoger are very popular and highly effective in conducting structural health monitoring. The structure can be investigated by using a visual inspection, NDT, laboratory and field test performance. In this article a review of these tests have been provided to conduct effective structural health monitoring of a RCC structure

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Likhith KLIKHITHK1
Scanning Electron Microscope functions exactly as their optical counterparts except that they use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to “image” the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition. Given sufficient light, the unaided human eye can distinguish two points 0.2 mm apart. If the points are closer together, they will appear as a single point. This distance is called the resolving power or resolution of the eye. Similarly, light microscopes use visible light (400- 700nm) and transparent lenses to see objects as small as about one micrometer (one millionth of a meter), such as a red blood cell (7 μm) or a human hair (100 μm). Light microscope has a magnification of about 1000x and enables the eye to resolve objects separated by 200 nm. Electron Microscopes were developed due to the limitations of light microscopes, which are limited by the physics of light. Electron Microscopes are capable of much higher magnifications and have a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects at sub cellular, molecular and atomic level. The smallest the wavelength of the illuminating sources is the best resolution of the microscope. De Broglie defined the wavelength of moving particles (electron) λ = h/mv, Where λ= wavelength of particles, h= Planck, s constant, m= mass of the particle (electron), v= velocity of the particles; after substituting the known values, λ = 12.3 Ao/V. The resolution of an optical microscope is defined as the shortest distance between two points on a specimen that can still be distinguished by the observer or camera system as separate entities. Resolution (r) = λ/ (2NA), Where λ is the imaging wavelength, NA is objective numerical aperture. Magnification is the process of enlarging the appearance, not physical size, of something. Magnification is defined as the ratio of image distance versus object distance. M= v/u, Where M= magnification, u= object distance, v= image distance. Magnification is also defined as the ratio of the resolving power of the eye to resolving power (δ) of the microscope M= δ eye/ δ microscope.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Microstructural Analysis Using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
1.0 OBJECTIVES
1.1 To apply the theory of materials characterization technique using SEM-EDX
1.2 To investigate the microstructural properties of all material types including
ceramic, metal and polymer
2.0 INTRODUCTION
The SEM has a large depth of field, which allows a large amount of the sample to be in
focus at one time. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a microscope that using electrons
rather than light to form magnified and detailed 3-dimensional images at much high
magnifications ranging from 10x to 50 000x could be possible. The combination of higher
magnification, larger depth of focus, greater resolution, and ease of sample observation makes
the SEM one of the most characterization instruments used in research areas today.
The surface of a specimen to examine may or may not be polished and etched but it must be
electrically conductive. Because of that, a very thin metallic surface coating must be applied for
Figure 1: Scanning electron microscope machine
2. nonconductive specimen includes gold, aluminum or carbon using sputter coater as shown in
Figure 1.2.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) uses electrons beam which comes from various types of
filament for example Tungsten hairpin gun. This filament is a loop of tungsten which functions
as the cathode. Other examples of filaments are Lanthanum Hexaboride filaments and field
emission (FE) guns. The surface of a specimen to be examined is scanned with an electron beam
and the reflected (or back scattered) beam of electron is collected then displayed on a cathode ray
tube. The images created without light waves are rendered black and white
Secondary Electron Imaging shows the topography of surface features a few nm across
produce adequate contrast images. Materials are viewed at useful magnifications up to 50
000x without damaging the sample
Backscattered Electron Imaging shows the spatial distribution of elements or compounds
within the top micron of the sample. Features as small as 10 nm are resolved and
composition variations of as little as as 0.2% determined.
Data Output is generated and display on the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor and the
image represent surface features of the specimen. To determine the chemical composition
of a microscopic area of a solid sample, the Energy Dispersive Analysis (EDA) or Energy
Dispersive X-ray (EDX) is used.

3. This equipment can be used for a wide range of elements on a multitude of samples, such as
polished surfaces, fracture surfaces, powders, and surface films.
3.0 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
3.1 Different specimens of metal, ceramic and polymer will be provided to
investigate. Prepare fracture and polish surface to observe surface microstructure.
3.2 Apply various magnifications, from low to high magnification to visualize an in-
depth microstructure for both fracture and polished surface.
3.3 Observe and record other micro defects occurred, also the porosity and the
uniformity of pores.
3.4 From micrographs result, draw microstructure and calculate the grain size
distribution of each specimen.
3.5 EDX technique will be use to identify chemical element of specimens.
3.6 From EDX investigation, determine the bulk chemical composition of specimens
as well as the micro-chemical composition of contaminants.
4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Analyse microstructure features from micrograph result including homogeneity, grain size
distribution, porosity and significance of pore location in grain boundaries, trapped pores, etc.
From EDX analysis, state the major element specimen. For minor element (if coexist), state what
it is and explain why it exist together with the major element.
Explain the relationship of the porosity towards the strength of material. Based on the analysis
results and the information obtained from references, what are the possible causes of the defects
occur. Recommend any possible corrective and preventative actions for these defects.
