Unique nonlinear optics (NLO) properties i.e. intensity-dependent nonlinear absorption and refraction of carmoisine (food dye) is studied using a single beam z-scan technique. A switchover behavior from a saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is observed by increasing concentration of carmoisine dye. The flip in the absorp

The global industry as a whole is estimated to worth around USD2.3 trillion (excluding Islamic finance) a year. It is now one of the fastest growing markets. The global market growth is estimated to reach at an annual rate of 20 percent per annum. The global halal market of 2.18 billion Muslims is no longer confined Muslims only. Similarly, the Hal

Entrepreneurship has become one of the vital activities for economic development. It is synonymous with job creation, innovation, improvement in the societal well-being and economic growth in developed and developing countries alike. There is great interest in entrepreneurship globally as well as in Malaysia. Over the past few years, many individua

As Malaysia is becoming a high-income nation, one of the strategies is to increase the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It was recorded that in 2016, the direct sales industry contributed RM17 billion to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), more than double compared to RM8.03 billion in the year 2006. Halal industry has created mo

In this paper, a novel approach in assessing the structural integrity of cracked composite plates under the aeroelastic condition by using XFEM is presented. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that aeroelastic condition is coupled in XFEM to model the crack propagations. Previous researches from the literature had only considered a

Ecotourism is one of the niche areas of tourism which is chosen by the tourists to involve especially to the nature lover. This study is to identify the personal benefit, local community empowerment and the relationship between personal benefit and empowerment towards support for future eco-tourism development. Quantitative method were used by usin

Writing a winning research proposal for Fundamental Research Grant of the Malaysian Ministry of Education is not always easy. Many applicants even could not secure the grants. There have been numerous approaches used by different academicians. Similarly, various seminar on have been conducted to generate competitive research proposal to secure the

Background: The consequences of adolescents in early involvement with sexual activity include sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, and unsafe abortion. Objectives: To identify the socio-demographic and sociocognitive factors (permissive attitude, social norms, and selfefficacy) associated with sexual intention to engage in premarital

The sensitive and selective chemosensor for copper(II) ions (Cu2+) was successfully optimized using the 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone (DPT) compound. The result showed that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in a 9:1 (DMSO:water) ratio at a pH of 3 was the optimum medium for DPT to act as chemosensor of Cu2+ recognition. The DPT chemosensor did not encounter an

A communication method is proposed using Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) precoding and Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) technique for millimetre-wave multiple-input multiple-output (mm-Wave MIMO) based wireless communication system. Background: The mm-Wave MIMO technology for wireless communication system is the base potential technology
