Synthesis of nanosilica form sugarcane bagasse using the sol-gel method for enhanced nano fluid applications / Kagren John Kumar ... [et al.]
Get PDFNanomaterials have gained immense popularity in advanced materials research due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. This study synthesizes nanofluids from ash-derived sugarcane bagasse nanosilica and evaluates their potential for practical and industrial applications. Using a sol-gel method and a two-step ultrasonication process, the nanofluids were characterized for particle size, agglomeration, stability, and viscosity. SEM images revealed irregularly shaped nanosilica particles with rough surfaces, indicating high surface areas and a tendency to agglomerate
Silver nanoparticle synthesis and characterization for the treatment of ganoderma fungus / Harith Haikal-Haq Hidzir, Nurmiza Othman and Intan Sue Liana Abdul Hamid
Get PDFAlmost every producing country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has benefited from the large-scale growth of the oil palm industry in recent years. However, thereare a few risks to the palm trees that can have an impact on the GDP of our nation, one of which is the disease known as Ganoderma Basal Stem Rot (BSR). The lignin trunk of palm trees is broken down or degraded by a specific fungus called Ganoderma Boninense, Therefore,silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been created for this purpose due to their potential for treating fungus
Mirror, mirror on the wall, I am looking at you / Che Nooryohana Zulkifli
Get PDFHave you noticed how often social media overflows with advice on avoiding negativity? One recurring message is to distance ourselves from those who drain our energy or make us doubt our worth. While that advice holds truth, the most powerful force in transforming our perspective and starting the day with confidence lies within us. Think about it. Aren’t we often our harshest critics? The moment we wake up. instead of embracing gratitude for the blessings of health, love, family, and purpose, we zero in on what we perceive as flaws. A glance in the mirror can feel like a magnifying glass for imperfections. We pick apart our skin, critique its tone, and convince ourselves that these imagined flaws make us unworthy of acceptance. We step back, scrutinise our bodies, and let self-doubt cast a shadow over our potential. Stepping out into the world, this cycle of negativity continues. We shrink, and we convince that we don’t belong, that we’re too awkward or insignificant These feelings often stem from unmet emotional needs, which perhaps a lack of affirmation from those closest to us, leaving us with fragile self-esteem. I believe that this inner void creates a spiral, and thus self-criticism feeds into the belief that others are judging us. even when that isn’t the case. So, here’s the red flag. It happens when we start seeing the world as adversarial, and it’s often because we’re projecting our own negativity. We misinterpret, judge, and assume the worst, unknowingly building walls against connections we deeply crave. The foundation of a fulfilling life begins with gratitude for what we have (Witvliet et al., 2019). While this advice may seem hackneyed, its power is undeniable. Taking the time to count our blessings isn’t just a cliche. It is in fact a transformative practice. Happiness, after all. is deeply personal. Though the presence of others can bring joy. true contentment must be cultivated from within. We can nurture this mindset by consistently practising empathy toward those who may be experiencing greater challenges than we are. This perspective helps us recognise that we are not alone in navigating life’s difficulties. It helps us realise that hope is always present, showing us how it can lead to a more meaningful life

An unforgettable trip to Tibet (September 12, 2024 - September 22, 2024) / Hoe Foo Terng
Get PDFAs I am approaching retirement age. I want to use up my seven days of religious leave. It has been a longstanding wish to go to Tibet to worship Buddha. I started preparing in March - looking at various itineraries, enquiring from travel agencies, applying for religious leave and securing permission from the chancellery for an overseas trip. The application for the religious leave was a hassle because the university’s computerised leave application system was not designed to accommodate the application of religious leave by non- Muslims. After many attempts, the application had to be done manually i.e. filling out the printed form and submitting it by post
