    Chemical investigation of the terrestrial Streptomyces sp. isolates GT2005/020 and ANK148 led to the isolation of two microbial furanone derivatives, 5-hydroxy-4-methylnaphtho[1,2-b]furan-3-one (1) and 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-furan-3-one (2), respectively, which have some similarity to quorum sensing molecules of the Al-2 type. In addition, the known compounds chalcomycin, ferulic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, uracil, thymine, 2'-deoxy-thymidin, monensin B (3), phencomycin, and l-acetyl-P-carboline were isolated. The structures of 1 and 2 were deduced from extensive studies of NMR (1D and 2D) and mass spectra. Additionally, the complete NMR shift assignments for monensin 13 (3) using H-H COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments are reported here for the first time. We are describing the taxonomy and fermentation of the producing strains, the structure elucidation of the new metabolites and their bioactivity.

    Purpose: This study was focused on giving an overview about UiTM optometry services in Puncak Alam and how it relates with the Global Competency-Based Model of Scope of Practice in Optometry in company to other Asia country. World Council of Optometry (WCO) had developed the Global Competency-Based Model of Scope of Practice in Optometry. Four categories of services include the optical technology services, visual function services, ocular diagnostic services and ocular therapeutic services. Method: There was a review made on the current UiTM optometry scopes together with the support from the data. The tools and instruments used inside of each clinic were taken from the lecturers and supervisors who conducted that particular clinic. Moreover, some of the data was also obtained from the facility computers provided for the optometry department. Result: About 14506 patients were recorded carried out an eye examination in UiTM Puncak Alam from early 2010 until late 2015. From 14506 patients, there were a total of 65.4% patients undergo the Primary Optometry Clinic (POC), 31.64% for Contact Lens Clinic (CLC), 1.83% for Pediatric Clinic, 1% for Binocular Vision Clinic and 0.15% for Low Vision Clinic. Conclusions: From all the service provided by optometry UiTM Puncak Alam, it proves that UITM optometry did provide the service according to the Global Competency-Based Model of Scope of Practice in Optometry. The current service is seen to be at the level three service which is Ocular Diagnostic services (ODx)

    Scattering of Laguerre–Gaussian beam by a topological insulator cylinder coated with metamaterials

    A theoretical investigation is presented to study the orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam scattering from a topological insulator (TI) cylinder coated with metamaterials. To calculate the electromagnetic (EM) response of the scattered field, the field equations are modified using Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) potential and plane wave scattering. The response of the metamaterial coated geometry has been reported for Double positive (DPS), Double negative (DNG), Epsilon negative (ENG), and Mu negative (MNG) coating layers, respectively. The normalized bistatic echo widths for the TI cylinder also change by changing the topological charge (l), the radius of the metamaterial coated layer (b), source frequency (f), and beam waist radius (w0). Our result for LG00 beam exactly tones with plane wave scattering as a reference. Numerical results in the form of bistatic echo widths have been calculated. Besides, the prementioned parameters, the influence of OAM mode index on the bistatic echo width is also analyzed. It can be seen that OAM mode number plays major role in controlling the scattering amplitude and intensity

    IT specialists who spend extended periods staring at their laptop, phone, and computer monitor at close range face the risk of compromised eyesight and related visual health issues. The continuous near-distance visual concentration without adequate breaks, coupled with the blue light emitted by digital screens, leads to eye strain, dryness, redness, blurred vision, headaches, and increased sensitivity to light. These symptoms can negatively impact IT specialists' productivity, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. Implementing effective solutions and strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of prolonged screen usage on their eyesight and promote proper eye care practices is crucial. The Anti Eye-Fatigue Device System consists of two inputs: distance detected by the ultrasonic sensor and light intensity detected by the LDR sensor. Data from the sensor will be sent to the web server and displayed. This system focuses on adding monitoring and alerting features for laptop and computer users as these devices are often used in the IT field in their work
