A temporal and amplitude modulator based on few-layers bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) flakes is demonstrated for C-band operation. The few-layers thick Bi2Te3 flakes are prepared by mechanically exfoliating a Bi2Te3 crystal. As an optical pulse modulator, the Bi2Te3-based saturable absorber (SA) provides stable Q-switching operation at 1561.1 nm with a

In 2011, the Malaysian Cabinet approved a policy that by 2016, the board of directors of all public listed companies in Malaysia should consist of at least 30% women. This research examines the relationship between the existence of women on boards and Malaysian listed companies’ performance after the effective implementation of the policy. This r

For the first time, a copper telluride (Cu2Te) based saturable absorber (SA) was demonstrated for mode-locking in a thulium-doped fiber laser. Layers of Cu2Te were deposited onto a side polished fiber (SPF) using the optical deposition technique, forming an all-fiber SA device. The nonlinear optical properties of the SA device were investigated bas

Many problems arose, including the phenomenon of a lack of vocabulary among foreign language learners, especially Arabic. They face difficulty remembering and using them when speaking or writing in addition to they need language tools from Internet to help them facilitate their studies. The aim of this study is to investigate the students’ views

In this study, the mathematical expression formulated by Bohr for the moment of inertia of even-even nuclei based on the hydrodynamical model is modified. The modification pertains to the kinetic energy of the surface oscillations, including the second and third terms of the R-expansion as well as the first term, which had already been modified by

Introduction: Gingivitis is one of the commonest problems faced by patients with fixed appliances (FA) as there is close relation between the appliances to gingival sulcus. Stichopus horrens (SH) is a sea cu- cumber from the Indo-Pacific that has medical healing properties which have been traditionally used. Objective: To assess the effects of toot

Nigeria achieved the leprosy elimination target in the year 2000. Data demonstrating the trend of leprosy in Nigeria during the post-elimination era is limited. This study evaluates the epidemiological trend of leprosy at a referral hospital in Nigeria using leprosy control indicators. A 15-year retrospective study involving new leprosy patients re
