In this study, Li+ ions capped zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs) was synthesised using the microwave method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) techn

Solar energy, a cornerstone of renewable energy, for optimal grid integration and management, requires precise forecasting. Photovoltaic (PV) forecasting must be accurate to ensure energy stability and maximize resource utilization. This study compares Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) m

Introduction: Conjoined twins (CT) are a rare embryological developmental accident of uncertain aetiology. Despite the prevalence being uncommon, this phenomenon carries a high rate of stillbirth and early neonatal death. Early detection is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical delivery and sychological anguish to the expecting parents. Case presen

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, is a worthwhile insect genus whose larvae have shown promise for sustainable animal feed because of their economical and premium protein. Concerns arise among Muslims about whether the usage of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as animal feed is permissible by Shariah because hasyarat (insect)

Gulf countries are known for their high levels of consumption with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) topping the list. The per capita consumption rate of the UAE is reported to be over USD 21675 per person in 2021. This alarmingly high rate of consumption comes with the cost in the form of environmental decimation. Usually, marketing is considered the

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been extensively used in various industrial sectors and applications, including cosmetics, catalysts, food additives, inks, paints, and coatings. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified TiO2 nanoparticles as a potential carcinogen for humans, meaning they may cause ca
