webinar
Ts Ng said, “Metal does not occur
in its original condition. The process of extracting metals consists of
three basic phases which are the concentration of ore, the extraction of
metal from the concentrated ore and the refinement of impure metal. The
common types of corrosion are general corrosion, pitting, corrosion under
insulation, crevice corrosion, galvanic attach, erosion, cavitation,
fretting, stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue.”

The second webinar titled “Sports
science in your life” was presented by TAR UMT Prof Dr Wee Eng Hoe. He spoke
about sports science, careers in sports science, how sports science affects
an individual, key areas in sports science, the importance of sports
science, diet and nutrition as well as positive mental being.
Prof Wee explained, “Sports
science applies to the study of science to sporting activities as it
concerns with the understanding and enhancement of human performance through
the application of scientific principles. It is used to identify strengths
and weaknesses so training programmes can be individualised for everyone.
The five key areas in sport science are psychology, physiology,
biomechanics, motor control and learning, and biometrics.”
Dr Lim explaining

Dr Maithreyi
during the Q&A session
The last webinar on the third day
of e-KLESF 2022 was presented by TAR UMT Assoc Dean Dr S. Maithreyi. The
title of her webinar was “The relationship of art, creativity and the human
brain”. She spoke about the interaction of the human brain and how arts
contribute to learning across curriculum and creativity. Aside from that, Dr
Maithreyi spoke about developmental neurobiology, human senses and other
related topics. She said, “The primary visual cortex is meant for vision,
the frontal lobes are for decision making, the pre-motor areas are for
planning physical actions, the motor cortex works for physical movement
while the temporal lobes are for memory. The limbic system functions as the
emotional centres and the association areas are for visual-sensory-motor
integration.”
