Stylistics, a sub-discipline of applied linguistics, examines the aesthetic aspects of language style within texts, particularly literary ones. While it is often used to explore the linguistic beauty of the Quran, it is less frequently applied to Prophetic Hadith texts. This study aims to analyse Hadiths that contain conversations between the Proph

Background: The production of radionuclides as industrial by-products such as radium (226Ra), thorium (232Th), potassium(40K), and uranium (238U) might contaminate the soil and harm the health of nearby populations for long-term. Due to the limited evidence of the associated relation and lack of public awareness of the potential risk, people tend t

In this work, we successfully demonstrated an all-fiber, dual-wavelength holmium-doped fiber laser (HDFL) with a tunable wavelength spacing range of 8 nm to 24 nm. The HDFL utilizes a Lyot filter to obtain a stable dual wavelength output, with the Lyot filter being constructed from a polarizer, a 20 m polarizing maintaining fiber (PMF) and two pola
