Analysis of Batting Performance of Two Great Test Cricketers using Moving Average and Moving Range Control Charts with 3 control limits

The main objective of this paper is to illustrate the use of Moving Average (M.A) and Moving Range (M.R) control charts with 3δ control limits. These control charts are very useful for the data which are collected over a period of time. The M.A. chart monitors the process location over time, based on the average of the current subgroup and one or more prior subgroups. The M.R. chart monitors the process variation over time. These charts can be useful for evaluating the batting performance or bowling performance of the players in the game of cricket.

Effect Of Fermentation Time On The Physicochemical Properties Of Palm Oil

This study evaluated the effect of fermentation time on the physicochemical characteristics of palm oil. The palm fruits samples used were divided into two with each group being divided into four portions. One group was boiled during processing while the other group was not boiled. The two groups were evaluated and processed in batches separately, for three days, six days, twelve days and fourteen days of fermentation using traditional method of processing.

Characterizations of natural rubber nanocomposites filled with organoclay as a substitute for carbon black obtained by melt blending method

The aim of this study was to assess the technical feasibility of natural rubber nanocomposites with Cloisite 20A, a commercial organoclay (OC) to substitute for conventionally used carbon black as a filler. Three Rubber clay nanocomposites (RCN) were prepared while varying the content of OC (2, 4 and 8 phr - parts per hundred of rubber). For comparative purposes, a sample with 40 phr of carbon black was also prepared and analyzed. The compounds were characterized by their rheological, morphological, thermal and mechanical properties.
