Modeling of microfluid droplet resonator based on whisper gallery mode by Dong, Bin

“…Since the droplet is formed by surface tension, the surface will be quite smooth, so that whisper gallery modes can be formed near the surface of the droplet, which means the light will be transmitted by total internal refraction near the surface and get accumulated. …”

Electrical and optoelectronic studies of semiconductor nanostructures by Wong, Jen It.

“…Electrical and optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanostructures including silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) and n-CdSxSe1-x nanowires have been studied in this thesis. Firstly, the current conduction in nc-Si embedded dielectric thin films of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device with different nc-Si distributions in the gate oxide (i.e., SiO2) has been investigated. …”

Community concerns on migrant labour settlement issues in Malaysia by Izhar, Asma Idayu, Choong, Weng Wai

“…Although the authorities did come out with measures by segregating the migrant labours from the locals’ neighbourhood, the NIMBY phenomenon still remain, in which the locals are against the development of the said settlements near to their neighbourhood. In accessing the concerns that perceived by the locals, literature review is conducted to examine the locals’ acceptance towards the migrant labour’s presence near their neighbourhood is reviewed. …”
