The Future of 2D Materials Production: Graphene and Borophene on larger scale
Authors: Nadar Ryan , Varadarajan Vijayakumar
Published: February 2024

The production of graphene and borophene, two distinct materials with remarkable properties, is investigated through the manipulation of charged ions in a plasma environment. Plasma, characterized by ionized atoms or molecules, offers a unique setting where diverse chemical reactions can take place. This research focuses on utilizing this environment to create longer-chain graphene and carbon nanotubes by manipulating charged carbon ions. When positively and negatively charged carbon ions coexist within the plasma, they have the potential to interact and form bonds. This interaction results in the growth of extended carbon structures, particularly graphene. By carefully controlling plasma conditions such as temperature, pressure, and composition, scientists can guide the formation of longer-chain graphene and carbon nanotubes from these charged carbon ions. Similarly, the production of borophene, a material composed of boron atoms, also takes place in a plasma state. By introducing positively and negatively charged boron ions into the plasma, these ions interact and potentially form bonds, leading to the growth of extended borophene structures. This innovative approach unlocks the potential for tailored materials with enhanced property.

Authors: Padhi Madhusmita , Mukherjee Moumita , Baksi Sibashish , Pal Pritha
Published: February 2024

Uranium exposure can result in health risks in both natural and anthropogenic contexts, due to its chemotoxicity and radiotoxicity. The former is anticipated to play a larger role in natural uranium exposure, whilst the latter is more significant in enriched uranium exposure. The largest consumer of groundwater worldwide is India. India is responsible for 85% of the world's freshwater supply and 60% of irrigated agriculture. Uranium is absorbed into the body through contaminated food or uranium-affected water, offering a health danger to humans who may be exposed to high quantities of uranium through their drinking water. The health effects of uranium exposure include leukaemia, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer. Evidence also suggests that drinking water contaminated with uranium might result in chronic renal disease, bone malformations, and liver damage. Uranium in drinking water must not exceed a WHO standard of 30 g/L. Uranium pollution is highest in China, the United States, Germany, Spain, Korea, Myanmar, Mongolia, Burundi, and other nations worldwide. In 151 districts across 18 states in India, high quantities of uranium have been found in ground water. This review focuses on impact of this metal contamination worldwide.

Authors: Jainudin Normah , Romali Siti Rozana , Abdul Karim Abdul Razak
Published: February 2024

This study is done to evaluate the structural performances of bolted timber connections in local hardwoods. In Sarawak, Belian hardwood is typically used to construct the floor and wall diaphragm for unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Unfortunately, there is a lack of experimental data on bolted connection of Belian hardwoods. This gap in experimental data might lead to difficulties in designing bolted timber connections for strengthening purposes. Therefore, the study was carried out to evaluate the existing equations in predicting the bolted connection in Belian hardwood. A calibration factor for Belian hardwood will be provided to optimise the use of the current design equation in predicting the row shear failure mode. The European Yield Model (EYM) and Malaysia Standard (MS) will also be compared to the experimental results to verify the suitable equation to predict the strength of the ductile mode of failure. From the comparison between experimental versus prediction values, EYM and Row Shear equation were acceptable to predict the bearing and row shear failure while the MS was found too conservative with a range from 0.16 to 0.25 compared to the 5th percentile experimental results.

The purpose of this study was to assess service quality and recommend improvements to the Indonesian Islamic Bank. A modified bank SERVQUAL and Service Performance Control Matrix (SPCM) were used in this study. The service quality was evaluated based on customer perceptions and their desired and minimum levels of expectations. This study used a set of questionnaires with a 35-item scale comprising seven dimensions: effectiveness and assurance, access, price, tangibles, service portfolio, reliability, and compliance. The data was collected using a survey, and 193 responses were received. The findings disclosed that the bank customer's perception of the service provided exceeded their minimum expectations but fell short of their desired expectations. By mapping the service performance into the matrix, it was determined that no services fell within the excellent zone, three services were classified in the problematic zone, and the majority of services fell within the improvement zone. The focus was placed on the problematic zone, which consisted of an insufficient number of bank tellers, a lengthy line, and inadequate parking space. However, no Islamic compliance issues were discovered within the problematic zone. Several recommendations were made to bank management to address the service problems, including encouraging customers to use digital banking services, expanding the number of drive-thru Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), and examining the appropriateness of bank staff engaging with customers, particularly during the busiest period of the month.
