Extraction and synthesis of silicon nanoparticles (sinps) from sugarcane bagasse ash: A mini-review
(MDPI, 2022)This current study reviews the utilization of the traditional extraction methods and latest findings in extraction of silica from agricultural wastes, in particular, sugarcane bagasse, using inorganic acids to produce ... -
The extreme claim, psychological continuity and the person life view
(Philosophical Society of Southern Africa, 2015)Marya Schechtman has raised a series of worries for the Psychological Continuity Theory of personal identity (PCT) stemming from what Derek Parfit called the 'Extreme Claim'. This is roughly the claim that theories like ... -
Extreme temperatures compromise male and female fertility in a large desert bird
(Nature Research, 2021)Temperature has a crucial influence on the places where species can survive and reproduce. Past research has primarily focused on survival, making it unclear if temperature fluctuations constrain reproductive success, and ... -
Extremely broad lyαline emission from the molecular intragroup medium in Stephan’s quintet: evidence for a turbulent cascade in a highly clumpy multiphase medium?
(IOP Publishing, 2022)We present Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS) UV line spectroscopy and integral-field unit (IFU) observations of the intragroup medium in Stephan’s Quintet (SQ). SQ hosts a 30 kpc long shocked ... -
Extremely deep 150 MHz source counts from the LoTSS deep fields
(EDP Sciences, 2021)With the advent of new generation low-frequency telescopes, such as the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), and improved calibration techniques, we have now started to unveil the subgigahertz radio sky with unprecedented depth ... -
Extremophiles in biofuel synthesis
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2010)The current global energy situation has demonstrated an urgent need for the development of alternative fuel sourcesto the continually diminishing fossil fuel reserves. Much research to address this issue focuses on the ... -
F+ center exchange mechanism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Ni-doped 3C-SiC
(Elsivier, 2022)Towards the development of a magnetic semiconductor suitable for spintronic device applications in extreme environments, we explored the possibility of inducing magnetic interaction in SiC by doping Nickel. The X-ray ... -
Fabrication and characterization of electrospun waste polyethylene terephthalate blended with chitosan: A potential single-use material
(MDPI, 2023)Textile single-use products are dominantly used for hygiene and personal care, many of which are non-biodegradable and are frequently discarded into sewerage systems, thus causing blockages. Thus, there is a need to move ... -
Fabrication of AgCu/TiO2 nanoparticle-based sensors for selective detection of xylene vapor
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)The design and fabrication of innovative nanostructured materials that could display improved sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response/recovery characteristics still present significant scientific challenges. Herein ... -
Fabrication of polyoxometalate-modified palladium–nickel/reduced graphene oxide alloy catalysts for enhanced oxygen reduction reaction activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)Designing advanced nanocatalysts for effectively catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great importance for practical applications of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). In this work, the reduced graphene ... -
Fabrication of silver‑coated PET track‑etched membrane as SERS platform for detection of acetaminophen
(Springer, 2021-09)In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were immobilized on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane using diethylenetriamine (DETA) as a chemical linker. The molecule of DETA was attached to the surface ... -
Fabrication, characterization, and photovoltaic performance of titanium dioxide/metal-organic framework composite
(Elsevier, 2022)The titanium dioxide-metal-organic framework (TiO2−MOF) composite was prepared using the sol-gel method for photovoltaic applications. Raman analyses showed the presence of MOF clusters in the TiO2 sol-gel network. Using ... -
Face-to-face versus online-based lectures: A covid-19 induced study on assessments
(Frontiers Media, 2022)There is much debate regarding the impact of COVID-induced lockdown on the standard of assessments, mainly since students were assessed at home via an online assessment platform. Regular orthodox lectures and assessments ... -
Face-to-face versus online-based lectures: A COVID-19 induced study on assessments
(Frontiers in Education, 2022)The students were found to be resilient in adapting to things and learning, online presentations, and computer-based assessments. No gender-based difference or advantage to adjusting to newly introduced blended learning ... -
Facile synthesis of NiSe2:α-Fe2O3 thin film: physical, optical and photoelectronic properties
(Thin Solid Films, 2023)In this study, a highly scalable approach to fabricating NiSe2:α-Fe2O3 heterojunction thin film in the absence of a dehydration step or lattice parameter matching was established. The attachment of NiSe2 to α-Fe2O3 leads ... -
