A passively Q-switched S-band fiber laser using Molybdenum Diselenide (MoSe2) saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. The SA is fabricated by depositing MoSe2 onto two fiber ferrules using the drop-cast method before heating and connecting the two fiber ferrules to form the SA. The passively Q-switched fiber laser designed using the M

The problem of steady Casson nanofluid flow past a wedge is studied in this paper. The presence of magnetic field along with Newtonian heating at the surface is considered. The governing partial differential equations are first transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations, before being solved num

A thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) with a tunable Q-switched output is proposed and demonstrated. A silver nanoparticle based saturable absorber is used to generate the Q-switched pulses, while a tunable Mach-Zehnder filter acts as the wavelength-tuning mechanism. The TDFL has an operating wavelength range of 1916.5-1945.3 nm, with output pulses th

Islamisation is seen as a process of conforming to the teachings of Islam in all aspect of human life by deconstructing and reconstructing the existing world view so that it can be in conformity with the dictates of Islam. Islamisation, being a debate among scholars sometimes is best assume as Islamisation with the suffix ‘ise’ to Islamise or b

The provision of halal certified food is important for both Muslims consumers as well as halal food manufacturers in Malaysia. Nevertheless, there are still lots of consumers’ complaints resulted from the partial implementation of Malaysia halal standard (MS1500:2009) by these food manufacturers. Hence, critical factors affecting the implementati

This article examines the challenges and opportunities of subjecting Malaysian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to its main competition legislation that is the Competition Act 2010. This article first highlights the nature of economic activities which is a crucial element in determining that an SOE actually participates in the market. Despite the con

Background: The prevalence of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in Assam was exceptional in a global context in the year 2014. Darrang district is amongst the most affected districts that is hit by deadly JE virus in Assam. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of the residents regarding JE at Darrang. Methods: A descr

In Malaysia, the climate is changing. So, the associated risks are expected to have serious impacts on agriculture and national food sufficiency level which in turn will affect the rural farmers for whom agriculture is the main source of income. The level of impacts will mainly depend on the awareness and the level of adaptation in response to the

Disasters affect human lives severely. Due to these disasters, hundreds and thousands of human beings lost their lives and gracious properties. Government agencies, nongovernment organization and individual volunteers act to rescue the affected people and to mitigate the disaster effects. These teams require real time information about the nature,

The present experimental investigation is mainly focused on thermal analysis of different geometry of minichannel heat sink subjected to flow of water as a fluid under steady state forced convection flow condition. The objective is to determine the effect of flow rate on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of rectangular, circular, trapezo
