- PublicationFabrication And Characterization Of Normoxic Polymer Gel Dosimeter By Using Raman Spectroscopy At Low X-Ray Energies(2012-12)Aifa Aflrah Binti RozlanPolymer gel dosimeters are fabricated from radiation sensitive chemicals which, upon irradiation, polymerize as a function of the absorbed radiation dose. Two types of normoxic polymer gel dosimeters were fabricated, which is PHEAG (polyhydroxyethyl acrylate) and PHEMAG (polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate) gel dosimeters. These polymer were fabricated by using gelatin, N' N-methylene-bisacrylamide (BIS), ascorbic acid (AA), deionized water and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) for PHEAG and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate for PHEMAG. The ability of AA to bind oxygen in the gel solution was investigated by using an oxygen dissolve meter. The concentrations of AA used are 5, 10, 15 and 35 mM and each concentration was applied to each batch of PHEAG and PHEMAG. The sensitivity of PHEAG and PHEMAG towards low X-ray energy was investigated. The structural changes of the monomeric components in PHEAG and PHEMAG after irradiation were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy.
- PublicationFabrication And Characterization Of Tio2 - Pvp Nanofibre Using Electrospinning Method For Hydrogen Gas Sensing(2016-08)Abed, Nabeel ZabarIn this project, anatase phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers (NFs) are successfully fabricated using the homemade electrospinning (ES) method. This study aims to fabricate uniform and high quality anatase TiO2/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) NFs on the glass substrate. A number of parameters were studied for the development of best form of nanofibers; the most suitable/optimised parameters for the fabrication of hydrogen gas sensor device were found at room temperature. Xray diffraction (XRD) patterns show sharp and well-defined peaks identified as anatase phase. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images revealing the formation of nanofibers are investigated. Surface topography observations by atom force microscopy (AFM) indicate that the roughness is improved by effect of the parameters selected and optical properties were measured using ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR.) spectrometer.
- PublicationReduction Of Backscattered Radiation For X-Ray Image Quality Enhancement(2016-12)Qaed Naji, Abdullah TaherThis study mainly aims to reduce backscattered radiation inside an X-ray room. The characteristics of X-ray attenuation in several materials such as lead, copper, iron steel, aluminium, and concrete have been investigated under different exposure parameters to measure their abilities to attenuate incident X-ray and to reduce backscattered X-ray. Lead and Iron presented good attenuation values for incident X-ray at radiographic diagnosis energy range (50 -110 kVp), whereas iron and aluminium reflected the least amount of backscattered radiation dose. A number of anti-scatter grids have been designed and fabricated from iron steel and aluminium, because of their relatively better abilities to reduce backscattered radiation compared to other materials.
- PublicationDelineation Of Seulimeum Fault System And Identification Of Geothermal Signatures Using Ground Magnetic And 2-D Resistivity Imaging Methods(2017-02)February 2017Ground magnetic and 2-D resistivity imaging method are widely used in geophysical exploration for subsurface identification to study the earth rheology such as fault process based on the geophysical parameter. Ground magnetic and 2-D resistivity imaging surveys were conducted to investigate the trend of Seulimeum fault system and the signature of potential geothermal surface manifestation resulting from the fault. Four different sites, namely Krueng Raya, Iejue, Lamtamot, and Tangse were chosen as study area for Seulimeum fault study while two sites; lejue and Ie-Seu 'Urn were chosen as case study areas in identifying the geothermal signatures. Ground magnetic method was performed using proton magnetometer while the 2-D resistivity imaging survey was done using ABEM Terrameter with Pole-dipole array. The magnetic residual contour map in Krueng Raya locality shows the dislocation from northwest to southeast (NW-SE) direction with contrast of high and low magnetic residual ranging from -150 nT to 300 nT which interpreted as the geological fault. In Iejue site the result shows the contrast of magnetic residual between -150 nT to 300 nT which indicate as geological fault continuous from Krueng Raya.
- PublicationGrowth Of Zno Nanorods On Wire Via Sonochemistry Method For Glucose Sensing(2017-02)Rayathulhan, RuzainaThere has been much research on growth of ZnO nanorods on vanous substrates, and various growth methods. Sonochemical method is a well-known method for growing nanorods. Metal wire is a suitable substrate for the growth of ZnO nanorods as it can then be used as sensor electrode for sensing application. However there has not been any report on growth of ZnO nanorods on metal wire directly using sonochemical method. ZnO nanorods were directly grown on four different wires (silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and tungsten (W)) through sonochemical method and the best sample was chosen as electrode and tested for glucose sensing. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) were used as precursors for the growth of ZnO nanorods. The optimum condition for the growth of ZnO nanorods were determined by varying precursor molarity, sonication time and molar ratio of precursor solution.
- PublicationThe Biostimulation Of Low Level Laser Irradiation On Blood Parameters: Ex Vivo(2017-07)Al Musawi, Mustafa Salih AliVarious low-level laser wavelengths have been used for a variety of clinical applications because of their ability to modulate blood rheology and improve microcirculation. The response of human blood to low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) provides important information about the interactions of laser light with living tissues. This study was designed to investigate whether in vitro LLLI changes the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and other blood indices of whole blood. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-containing tubes. Each sample was divided into two equal aliquots as a control (non-irradiated) and irradiated samples. The irradiated sample was subjected to LLLI doses of 36, 54, 72 and 90 J/cm2 at wavelengths of 405, 589 and 780 nm.

- PublicationSimulation And Performance Studies Of Thermally Efficient Light Emitting Diodes Drivers(2018-09)Mohd Supian, NorazlinaThe thermal behaviour of an electronic package is often characterized by evaluating the junction temperature and thermal resistance at the junction of a single or multiple heat source to ambient. In the case of IC LED drivers, the heat source within the device is either single or multiple due to presence of many integrated component such as transistor, internal resistor, etc on a single die. Hence the evaluation of IC drivers with single or multiple heat sources is absolutely necessary for imparting suitable thermal management within the device. In this study, thermal transient measurement method and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been used to measure thermal resistance and junction temperature.

- PublicationFabrication And Characterization Of Black Silicon For Heterojunction Solar Cells(2022-01)Abdulkadir, AuwalBlack silicon (b-Si) is a promising technology that reduces broadband reflection within 300-1100 nm wavelength region and improves light absorption in crystalline silicon (c-Si). B-Si consists of a surface with random nanowires or a combination of nanowires and microtextures (hybrid textures) which leads to a refractive index grading effect at the air/c-Si interface. In this work, electroless metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) is used to fabricate b-Si. One-step MACE, two-step MACE and hybrid microtextures/nanotextures investigating different effects such as etching time, etchants concentration, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) layer thickness towards surface morphological and optical properties (within 300-1100 nm wavelength region) of the b-Si are carried out. Two step MACE involve shorter AgNO3:HF dip time. The hybrid texturing involves prior etching in NaOH to produce pyramids. For one-step MACE, nanowires with an average length of ~2.9 μm and an average diameter of ~120 nm are demonstrated. Weighted average reflection (WAR) of 6.0% has been realized. For two-step MACE, nanowires with an average length of 577 nm and diameter of ~200 nm are produced with WAR of ~5.5%.
- PublicationApplication Of 2-D Resistivity And Self-Potential Methods In Delineating Water Flow(2022-02)Mahmud, NazirahWater flow is essential for engineers when constructing any form of structure. A vital factor to consider is water flows through the soil can impact the engineering and environmental aspects. In recent years, the self-potential (SP) method was rarely found in dealing with the water flow issue. In this research, 2-D resistivity and SP methods have been chosen to detect the potential area of water flow. Geophysical methods are non-standalone methods as the data might be affected by the surrounding environment. The integrations of geophysical and geotechnical methods are performed to increase the understanding of subsurface features and water flow. 2-D resistivity can identify the position of conductive materials in the subsurface. SP measures the natural potential of the Earth, such as electrokinetic potential, which arises when water flows through the subsurface. The auger samples and borehole data were used to support the geophysical interpretation. As a result, the potential area of water was identified at low resistivity area (< 200 Ωm) and low SP value which indicate as recharge zone.
