A hybrid solar cell is designed and proposed as a feasible and reasonable alternative. With the employment of zinc oxide (ZnO) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) thin films. ITO based thin films of ZnO were deposited by sputtering technique and ITO based thin films of polyethylene were deposited by solution cast technique and used as an active polymer bl

The formation steps necessary for producing high quality electrodeposited CdS / CdTe solar cells are described. The key step in this process involves the heat treatment of the as-deposited n-type CdTe layers at around 400 °C. The results of studies made on the structural, electrical and optical properties of the electrodeposited CdS, CdTe films ar

Nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films were successfully prepared by dip-coating technique on ITO conductive glass substrates at low temperature. Dye-sensitized solar cells based on these films have exhibited high overall light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 4.67 % under illumination intensity 100 mW/cm2.

The process of intentionally adding animal plasma additive (APA) into surimi products is part of the polemic issues are getting attention among Muslim consumers. APA possesses good functional properties such as improving emulsifying capacity, alternative for fat, alternative for eggs besides functions as a cheap protein alternative. There are opini

The adulteration of commercial food products with muharramat (prohibited) ingredients exposes Muslims of the present time to food fraud. One of the muharramat sources is animal plasma food grade powder in surimi products. This adulteration using prohibited substance is regarded as a critical halal issue that should be addressed to strengthen the ju

In micro-scale energy harvesting, piezoelectric (PZT) energy harvesters can adequately convert kinetic energy from ambient vibration to electrical energy. However, due to the random motion and frequency of human motion, the piezoelectric beam cannot efficiently harvest energy from ambient sources. This research highlights the ability of piezoelectr

A qualitative study was carried out to explore the inner experiences and personal growth of one male and three female Malay university student clients undergoing twelve sessions of person-centered counseling. Data analysis was based on the verbatim accounts of the counseling sessions, Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) interviews, clients’ journa

This study aims to systematically search and review the literature on the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) across cultures, in terms of their psychometric properties. Electronic search engines and databases, namely, Scopus, OvidMedline, Google Scholar, and reference tracking were used. The search terms used were eating diso

Justicia has been recognized as one of the largest genera in the Acanthaceae family with 600 species have been identified. Most researchers have problems identifying Justicia species especially if the samples are incomplete. Other than that, there is no comprehensive study on Justicia species, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. Therefore, a compreh
