The films were electrochemically deposited from bath solution containing 0.1 M nickel sulfate, 0.1 M sodium acetate and 0.1 M sodium sulfate at pH 6.7 by applying constant potential of + 1.1 V at various deposition temperatures. The microstructure and surface morphology of the NiO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. Deposition temperature has significantly changed the surface morphology of NiO films. The structure of NiO films becomes porous as the bath solution was heated and the pores size becomes larger as higher deposition temperature was used. The porous films electrodeposited at 40°C and 60°C have good electrochemical activity as they have high specific surface area and they are easily accessible by electrolyte which leading to a decrease in diffusion resistance. However, the porous films prepared at 80°C have poor electrochemical behavior probably due to the entrapment of OH- ions in the thick NiO structure during cycling.","PeriodicalId":426671,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122436843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This application which contains five modules: molecular-weight calculator, empirical formula, thermochemistry, electrochemistry and acid-base calculations, is an improvement from a previous version containing only two modules. For the electrochemistry module, users can calculate quantities such as the cell potential, the free energy change (ΔG) and the equilibrium constant (K) of a chemical reaction. Glossary of terms, quiz and application of Nernst equation are also included in this module. For the acid-base module, users can calculate the pH of a strong or weak acid and a strong or weak base. Users can also answer questions in the quiz section and the scores are also displayed. In the molecular-weight calculator module, users can determine the molecular-weight of a compound which can have up to five elements. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a compound can be determined using the empirical formula module. The thermochemistry module will check whether a chemical equation is balanced or not. It will then calculate the standard thermochemical quantities. The visual basic editor in Excel is used to write all the programming codes. The application is user friendly and it is easily accessible without the need to purchase sophisticated software. Students can conveniently use it from a laptop or personal computer even without the Internet connection. It is hoped that this application will motivate students to enhance their understanding of the basic concepts of electrochemistry and acid-base calculations.","PeriodicalId":426671,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131481199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiment was conducted with two screen sizes; a large screen (40-inch display) and a small screen (3.5-inch handheld game). A total of 28 subjects participated in the study where two groups of 14 subjects played video games on two different screen sizes. Prior to video game play, baseline electroencephalogram (EEG) data were recorded during eyes open (EO) resting condition for five minutes. While the subjects played video game, the data were collected using a 19-channel EEG machine. The analysis was made by comparing the EEG results of subjects playing video game with that of baseline data. In order to remove artefacts like eye blinking and eye movements, a pre-processing like filtering was performed to clean the data. The analysis was made by using three measures, i.e., absolute power, coherence and phase lag. The analysis was made on four main frequency bands. It was found that the brain was active in beta band as higher absolute power was observed in occipital, parietal frontal and motor regions while playing video game as compared to baseline condition. Also, the coherence results showed that these regions are well connected. Furthermore, faster communication was observed from phase lag result for these regions.","PeriodicalId":426671,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132315082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve one design problem, novice designers may have a difficult time in deciding which design pattern they should use. This study examined user satisfaction toward six user interface design patterns of search box and autocomplete: 1) a simple search box, 2) a search box with a dropdown menu, 3) a search box with two dropdown menus, 4) a search box with autocomplete, 5) a search box with autocomplete and book cover images, and 6) a search box with autocomplete and book rating. An online bookstore prototype with these six design patterns was developed for the study. Participants worked with the prototype and rated their satisfaction on a 7-point scale via an online questionnaire. A repeated measures ANOVA found that the user satisfaction among all six design patterns was statistically different at a significance level of .01. A multiple comparison using a paired sample t-test with Bonferroni correction revealed that the search box with autocomplete and pictures, which received the highest satisfaction score, was statistically different from all three search box without autocomplete at a significance level of 0.003.","PeriodicalId":426671,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116785213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although PP absorbs very little moisture due to the absence of polar groups in its chemical structure, the main concern is the stability of hygroscopic PET in the presence of water. In this work, recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/ recycled polypropylene (RPET/RPP) blends with addition of compatibilizer was injection molded into dumbbell specimens and then subjected to hygrothermal aging in a water bath set at 60°C to determine the amount of moisture absorption. Evaluation of mechanical performance during the increment of water uptake provides information on the durability of the material after exposure to both water and temperature. Water absorption rate was found to be higher when higher compatibilizer content was present resulting into a significant decline in tensile strength. This suggests that the compatibilizers are mostly present at the interface between RPET and RPP phases to form an interphase region that is sensitive to both moisture and heat.","PeriodicalId":426671,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Symposium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124708429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
