substitute fluid for air in spun-like textured yarn manufacturing. The new substitute
product holds the potential for competitive advantage, ...
Prediction of sewing thread consumption requires an accurate method of calculation
since it relates to the cost of manufacturing and distribution of apparel products.
Previous researchers highlighted problems in existing ...
Street retail shops are an emblematic image of the Sri Lankan urban landscape. Retail shops vary in size, sell a diversity of household, mechanical and convenience items and appear as an integral part of urban form. While ...
Inter-cultural awareness and the capacity for cross-cultural collaboration is a fundamental contemporary element of planning practice, and increasingly of a planning career. The development among planning students of ...
Surface modification of precipitated silica particles was carried out in both aqueous and non aqueous media separately with a polyacrylic based hydrophilic polymer synthesized in the laboratory. FTIR spectroscopy and thermo ...
Design and Build (D&B) procurement arrangement was identified as a more suitable method to match the current requirements of the construction industry than the traditional procurement system. Because of that in the current ...
Various aspects of elitism, elite life, culture, and their design traditions have all
been undertaken and discerned largely by Western scholars over time. Hence, in
addressing this seminal topic, such a body of knowledge ...
This paper critically examines the post-independence architecture of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), in which reverting back to tradition took centre stage. It discusses the pioneering works of two architects from this particular time ...
The aim of this study is to explore the impact of using foreign workers on construction
productivity in project situations. Generally, foreign-funded projects use both native and foreign workers. Foreign workforce entering ...
The use of circular hollow steel members has attracted a great deal of attention during
past few years because of having excellent structural properties, aesthetic appearance, corrosion and fire protection capability. ...
An increased use of concrete in roads, embankments, parking areas and drainage systems has been witnessed in Sri Lanka with the recent rapid development of infrastructure and urbanization of many rural areas. Unless well ...
This study was conducted with the objective of finding out the applicability of entropy
values for the assessment of visual diversity on residential streetscapes. The visual
diversity on streetscapes occurs when the ...
In this research work, (70/30) nanocomposites of Chitosan biopolymer and Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic powder were synthesized by insitu co-precipitation technique combined with double step stirring. Initially medical grade ...
Montmorillonite (MMT) nano clay has attracted lot of attention due to its ability toimpart superior mechanical, thermal and gas-barrier properties to polymer-clay nano composites. Therefore, this clay has a huge demand ...
Montmorillonite (MMT) is a clay type which has wide range of applications in the traditional engineering fields. Recent development has increased attention to this clay since it can be used in the synthesis of polymer-clay ...
Abstract: Renewable energy is a key component supporting our journey towards the sustainable development. About 80% of the liquid fuel refined is consumed in transportation and hence, the challenging question is, "what is ...
