On 7th November 2019, Thursday, TriPreM had a very interesting special lecture “Polymer Biotribology for Evolution of Artificial Joints” by Prof. Dr. Yoshinori Sawae from Kyushu University, Japan. Thank you very much for your valuable lecture and visiting us. We are looking forward for more visit from him.
On 25th October, Friday, JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) members visited TriPreM. We introduced our Japanese style research and education system in TriPreM, MJIIT to them. Thank you for visiting us! We are looking forward for more visit from them.
TriPreM new students got safety training last week on 20th September 2019, Friday and we practice 5S activity this week on 27th September 2019, Friday. By cleaning rooms by ourselves, the members can learn where they can find necessary items, where they should allocate our tools, etc. Most importantly, they will start to have emotional attachments to their room, tools, and machines. In our Laboratory, we do the 5s routine every Friday afternoon after our Rin-Koh Session. This is a good practice to everyone.
“The importance of measuring and controlling humidity in Tribology research” Lecture, 24th September 2019
On 24th September 2019, Prof Fukuda gave an interesting lecture about the importance of measuring and controlling humidity in Tribology research at Japan Measuring Instructions Federation.
On 19th September 2019, we`ve got a big news for MJIIT where one of the TriPreM members, Ms Hidayah Shahemi under supervisions Dr. Shahira Liza Kamis with collaboration of Kyushu University (Prof. Yoshinori Sawae) won the Best Poster Award at the prestigious International Tribology Conference, ITC 2019 in Japan. Ms. Hidayah presented her research on “Effect of Modifying UHMWPE Using Graphene Oxide and Graphite Flakes as Fillers on Protein Adsorption and Wear Behaviour”. Congratulation on winning The Best Poster Award.
The International Tribology Conference (ITC) was founded by the Japanese Society of Tribologists (JAST). The ITC was first held in Tokyo (1985) following the JSLE-ASLE International Lubrication Conference (1975). Following successful conferences in Nagoya (1990), Yokohama (1995), Nagasaki (2000), Kobe (2005), Hiroshima (2011), and Tokyo (2015), ITC 2019 will be held in Sendai, Japan.
On 17th September – 21st September 2019, 5 TriPreM members attend and present their work at a prestigious international conference: International Tribology Conference, which is held around every 5 years since 1985. It’s a great achievement for TriPreM after 7 years from its establishment.
