Exploring the Dimensions of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in English Learning: Insights from EFL Students

Intercultural communication competence is now required in such higher education institutions.The issue can be seen by having misconceptions, misunderstandings, and a need for knowledge to understand other cultural exchanges like English and Indonesia.It happened in IAIN Manado, where the researcher takes place as the case of the study and as the re

Architectural and component design of CNTs/Al hierarchical composite for enhanced mechanical/thermal properties

This study aims to fabricate heterogeneous CNTs/Al composites with a hierarchical structure using powder metallurgy techniques.The hierarchical composites are composed of alternating layers with and without CNTs.Tensile testing of the as-sintered sample, with a 3.5 mm width and containing 0.5 wt% CNTs, revealed an ultimate tensile strength of 249 M

Signal Retrieval from Non-Sinusoidal Intensity Modulations in X-ray and Neutron Interferometry Using Piecewise-Defined Polynomial Function

Grating-based phase-contrast and dark-field imaging systems create intensity modulations that are usually modeled with Ironing Boards sinusoidal functions to extract transmission, differential-phase shift, and scatter information.Under certain system-related conditions, the modulations become non-sinusoidal and cause artifacts in conventional proce
