A hybrid biofuel cell, a zinc-air cell employing laccase as the oxygen reduction catalyst is investigated. A simple cell design is employed; a membraneless single chamber and a freely suspended laccase in the buffer electrolyte. The cell is characterised based on its open-circuit voltage, power density profile and galvanostatic discharge at 0.5 mA.

In this work, we demonstrated a compact Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser capable of generating high-energy pulses using a newly developed multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film based saturable absorber. Q-switched pulse operation is obtained by sandwiching the thin film between two fiber ferrules forming a saturable ab

Generally sunlight is one of the most potential sources of energy on earth. Among the total energy consumption, energy consumption for cooking is a leading component in developing countries. Most of the rural people in Bangladesh use biomass fuel for cooking such as wood, cow dung, jute sticks or other agricultural wastes. Hence, there is an attent

Background In recent year, disaster occurrences are increasing in numbers. Community health nurses (CHNs) as front lines are required to be prepared and act effectively during the events. With mounting numbers of health-related disasters, CHNs play very crucial roles to ensure the community receives appropriate services in which the outcomes will l

Health Information Technology (HIT) has the potential to improve the quality, efficiency, outcomes, patient safety and reduce the cost of healthcare. But HIT systems are not widely available, and even if available are not properly utilized. This paper reviewed some available HIT systems in order to have an idea on their availability. Also works on

The rising energy demand has compounded with fuel subsidies and a volatility of oil prices has set the transport sector on an unsustainable course and posed a threat to national energy security in Malaysia. Moreover, it contributes significantly to the green house gas (GHG) emission and causes health as well as environmental damages. Green transpor

Studies on information seeking behaviour have shown that workers, especially professionals look for in- formation in order to perform their work related activities. Because the legal profession is an information-intensive one, understanding the sources consulted by lawyers for their task performance is important for librarians as ser- vice provider

The current changes in business settings have directed companies to conduct businesses at the international level which requires the use of financial instruments. The-mandatory MFRS 7, an adoption of IFRS 7 standard has been implemented for entities to disclose their involvement with financial instruments. Thus, the aimed of this study is to invest

In modern age, technology is being used for saving time, energy and power in all cases. Undoubtedly rice cooker is an example of all these. It is a combination of cocking and warming mode by which rice is cooked and kept warm. The purpose of this paper is to model an electric rice cooker with improved warming mode. Generally bacteria can grow upto5

Noise is a problem in organization communication that moves along Anglo-Saxon configurations of knowledge. In that system, inspired by the received doctrine of Shannon and Weaver model of communication, noise must be excluded in and from a relationship. In French knowledge/theory, noise is a bruit. At the hand of Serres, bruit becomes an energy of
