This book delves into Einstein’s fascinating, although lesser-known, journey to Malaya in 1922 and 1923. During a trip to Japan at the end of 1922, Einstein and his wife Elsa stopped in Colombo and Singapore. On their return in January 1923, they stopped at Singapore, Malacca, Penang, and Colombo. Einstein’s diary tells us about what he saw and the theories he was working on while in Malaya. He wrote, “Discovered a fly in my electricity ointment in the afternoon. A pity. True tropical heat” in Malacca (1923), and “Boats, houses, people, they all have style” in Penang (1923). From insightful interaction with the locals to the breath-taking tropical natural wonders that inspired him, this book unravels the lesser-known facets of Einstein's visit to the Malay Archipelago.

Several topics ranging from crystalline ionic conductors, glasses, polymeric materials to proton conductors are discussed. Characterization techniques such as NMR and XPS and synthesis techniques such as sol-gel are emphasized. Some coverage of superconductors is also included. The proceedings of such an interdisciplinary conference would not be complete without a discussion on applications. Results based on the fabrication of fuel cells, solid state batteries, sensors and electrochromic displays are therefore presented.
The book Eco-Restoration of the Polluted Environment: A Biological Perspective explores recent advances in biological strategies for the remediation of polluted environments, including soil, water, and air. It covers bioremediation of heavy metals, radioactive waste, and waste gases, which are believed to be bottleneck problems for researchers working in this field. The book contains separate chapters on genetic engineering technology for enhancement of the bioremediation potential of bioresources and the role of biosurfactants, enzymes, and exo-polysaccharides for bioremediation of polluted environments, along with basic aspects of eco-restoration by microorganisms. It summarizes the signif...

Penerbitan Jurnal Ilmiah: Isu Kualiti, Media dan Pengantarabangsaan mengungkap pelbagai isu dan masalah dalam penerbitan jurnal ilmiah. Faktor perbincangan antaranya mengutarakan niche atau fokus sesebuah jurnal yang bidang pengkhususannya tidak begitu jelas dalam memastikan kelestarian sesebuah jurnal ilmiah. Apakah kriteria untuk mengiktiraf sesebuah jurnal ilmiah itu bertaraf nasional atau kebangsaan? Di samping itu, isu pengantarabangsaan jurnal ilmiah juga dibincangkan dalam buku ini dengan membahaskan apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan ciri-ciri antarabangsa yang perlu dipenuhi oleh setiap jurnal ilmiah. Dasar penerbitan jurnal ilmiah dikawal oleh sebuah lembaga editor yang menetapkan tentang nama jurnal, bidang pengkhususan jurnal, pemilihan wasit, pemilihan makalah, bentuk dan jenis makalah yang diterbitkan, bentuk rujukan dan kaedah dokumentasi, bahasa, laras, komposisi pengarang dan sebagainya. Masalah penerbitan jurnal ilmiah di negara ini perlu ditangani oleh semua pihak yang terlibat dan mempunyai kepentingan agar kelestarian ilmu melalui jurnal dapat disebarluaskan kepada masyarakat.
