Abstract: Groundwater quality has recently received a lot of concern as a water resource problem. Contaminant’s transport is best described by a mathematical model. In this paper, we study the contaminant transport phenomenon using an advection-diffusion equation. The contaminant transport equation is solved numerically, we apply the finite volume method. Here we use Adams-Bashforth Difference to extrapolate advective terms from previous time step in an explicit manner and handles diffusive terms implicitly using Crank-Nicolson second order scheme.

Abstract: The paper investigates the effect of carbon black (CB) types and loading on curing and physico-mechanical properties of solid tire tread compounds comprised of Natural Rubber (NR) and Butadiene Rubber (BR) blend. N326, N330, and N375 were the CB types loaded in the rubber compounds at 53-60 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr), which was a predetermined loading level. Tensile strength, tear strength, hardness, abrasion resistance, and cure characteristics were tested, keeping the N330 CB type at 60 phr loading as the control compound. The cure characteristics of all the compounds showed good processability, processing safety, and curing efficiency. The CB type N375 at 55 phr loading showed better tear strength, tensile properties, hardness, and abrasion resistance than the other compounds. Of the three types of CBs used in tire tread compounds, the N375 CB type was the ideal type for solid tire treads, according to this study. However, there is a choice of CB type and loading level as the requirement of mechanical properties.

Abstract: "The aerospace sector is always changing as it aims to achieve higher efficiency, safety, and performance levels. A noteworthy progression in this endeavor is the application of composite materials in aircraft construction. One of the many benefits of composites is their high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and flexibility in design. They have become commonly used in contemporary airplanes, which has improved structural integrity, decreased weight, and increased fuel efficiency. The review explores the use of composites in stealth technology, highlighting how they can be used to alter radar signatures and improve aircraft survivability. "

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of critical thinking skills on speaking ability among students of non-English major. The study was conducted at Dai Nam University with 74 students from three disciplines; linguistics, healthcare and technology. The research design were survey and experimental. The findings reveal that the levels of critical thinking skills vary across disciplines. Linguistics students hold the least (M=1.87). This indicates that the students were categorized as a "Basic Critical Thinker." The Healthcare students ranked the top (M=3.07). A ranking within this range (M= 3.00 to 3.99) places the individuals in the "Proficient Critical Thinker". Technology students were categorized as "Emerging Critical Thinker” (M=2.10). The aspects of Clarity of Communication and Problem Solving Skills contributed mostly to the development of speaking ability B = 0.79, t(69) = 3.51, p < .001 and B = 0.57, t(69) = 2.23, p = .005 respectively. The critical training course proved beneficial for students in terms of enhancing speaking ability; mean of post-test was significantly higher than mean of pre-test M= 6.28 and M=5.03 respectively.
