The microfiltration 0.2 µm Cellulose Acetate (CA) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. This novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. The prepared membrane was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spe...

Amartya Sen defends the capability approach (CA) and “discipline of consequential evaluation” which suggests that his CA is consistent with some form “consequentialism”. Yet prominent commentators suggest or imply Sen’s not “consequentialist”. The resulting confusion defused by showing whether CA, as a general normative perspective, “consequentialism” depends on how understood. If understood mo...

The define–measure–analyze–improve–control (DMAIC) approach is a five-strata approach, namely DMAIC. This approach is the scientific approach for reducing the deviations and improving the capability levels of the manufacturing processes. The present work elaborates on DMAIC approach applied in reducing the process variations of the stub-end-hole boring operation of the manufacture of cra...
