Official Launch of Sahz-Nottingham NANO Super-Capacitor Pilot Plant
Today saw the official launch of the Sahz-Nottingham NANO Super-capacitor Pilot Plant by Y.A.Bhg. Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The Sahz-Nottingham NANO Super-capacitor Pilot Plant was established in 2007, following the award of RM6.5 million Technofund grant by the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MOSTI) to SAHZ Holdings Sdn. Bhd. This grant is to enable Sahz to produce “home grown” super-capacitors for solar energy storage, mobile and electric vehicle applications and to commercialise them under the ENERSTORA brand name. The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus established the pilot plant and produces the super-capacitors for the project needs.
The super-capacitor is an ultra-high energy storage device. It delivers bursts of high power and recharges rapidly from any energy source. It has the ability to deliver 10 times the power of batteries and lasts up to 10 times as long. It also reduces environmental damage associated with battery disposal by increasing the life of the battery.
The event also witnessed the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between SAHZ Holdings Sdn Bhd and two of its strategic partners in the international market, namely SEMYUNG Ever Energy Co. Ltd. of South Korea and 2M Engineering Ltd. of the Netherlands.
During the event, Tun Mahathir was taken on a guided tour of the pilot plant facilities and viewed a showcase of operational super-capacitors used in mobile phone, solar cabin, electric bicycle and an electric vehicle.
Among the attendees of the event were:
- YM Tengku Tan Seri Dato’ Seri Ahmad Rithauddeen Tengku Ismail, Chairman of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, YBhg.
- Tan Sri Dato' Lodin Wok Kamaruddin, Director of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus
- Prof. Ian Pashby, CEO and Provost of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus
- His Excellency Simon Mark Featherstone, British High Commissioner to Malaysia
- His Excellency Vincent Piket, Ambassador & Head of Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia

Nilai International University College (Nilai UC) in collaboration with Gribbles Pathology (M) Sdn Bhd and College of Pathologists, Academy of Medicine of Malaysia (CPath, AAM), organised a Conference on Regulatory Issues in Laboratory Medicine on 16 Jan 2008 at the Hilton Hotel, Petaling Jaya.
The aim of the conference was to discuss, debate and educate participants on the recently passed Pathology Act 2007 that is expected to have far reaching implications on private medical laboratories. Deputy Minister of Health Datuk Dr Hj Abd Latiff Bin Ahmad officiated the opening of the conference and said in his speech that it was hoped that the Pathology Act would promote greater professionalism in this sphere of medical care as well as boost the numbers of skilled and qualified workers.
Of greater concern was how the Pathology Act would impact the sphere of education. At the moment, it is possible for form five school leavers or similarly unqualified staff to work in pathology labs. As pointed out by Nilai UC's Professor Emeritus Tengku Dato' Shamsul Bahrin who said in his welcoming speech, "Laboratory testing influences medical decision-making. A patient's well-being depends greatly on the quality of work carried out at the laboratory testing stages. Hence the need for greater quality control.
"Tengku Shamsul also went on to say that he hoped that the days of the ad hoc health stall enticing customers with free health tests were numbered with the introduction of the Pathology Act. "It would seem plain common sense to leave the diagnosis of tests results to a qualified medical practitioner. Similarly, the conducting of such tests should also be left to qualified Medical Laboratory Technology personnel who have gone through the proper education and training," he added.

Among the speakers who were invited to present at the conference was Prof Dr Looi Lai Meng, president of CPath, AMM, who was instrumental in the drafting of the Act. "This Act has been almost a lifetime's work for me as I first proposed it in 1983 and to finally have an Act is an immense satisfying. Having said that, there's still plenty of views we need to take into consideration as the rules and regulations have yet to be formed," said Prof Looi.
Other speakers at the Conference were Prof Cheah Phaik Leng (secretary of CPath), Dr Christopher Ting Yew Ping (Gribbles Pathology Sdn Bhd) and Dr Carol Kwan (Quest Laboratory). A panel discussion chaired by Nilai UC's Dato' Dr Sothi Rachagan was also held which saw the finer points of the Pathology Act being dissected by the panel members and participants alike.

Putting humanity into science
TWO-time Nobel laureate Marie Curie once said at the Vassar College in New York: "We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science.
"It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity."
In a similar vein, this is exactly what UMT is trying to achieve as an institution through the individuals it produces.
The responsibility now lies with vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Sulaiman Md Yassin, who continues to inject humanity into science.
Previously, scientific projects were carried out for the benefit of the environment.
These included a joint effort with Aquaria KLCC to showcase efforts in saving the green and hawksbill turtles on Pulau Redang. The project also saw the university buying river terrapin eggs from collectors around the Sungai Setiu as well as monitoring the nesting sites of river terrapins in Sungai Dungun.
In 2001, their turtle conservation project was recognised by the United Nations Environment Programme, while last year, project leader Prof Chan Eng Heng was listed in UNEP's "Who's Who of Women and the Environment".
Apart from environmental projects, the former Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia (KUSTEM) has also won accolades for its inventions.
Last year, giving science a human face took on a somewhat literal meaning.
Developed by computer science student, Ibrahim Venkat, "Intelliface" or "An Intelligent Face Recognition System to Recognise Highly Occluded Face" identifies a person who was sheltered from a high angle.
The system works by using clues from the original picture and matching them with a digital picture which is stored in the system. The invention won a gold medal and a special award from the Korean Association School of Invention in Seoul at the International Invention Fair in December.
"One cannot neglect arts and humanities. Science without humanity is nothing. The human element is very important."
For Sulaiman, combining science and technology with humanity is also the Eastern way of life. Intuition is a vital key in the East, while Western teachings tend to lean on logic.
But a point will come when logic will not be able to explain certain things.
"Yet, the answer may lie in an indigenous culture which we have overlooked," he said.
Using nuclear technology as an example, Sulaiman says humanising science will ensure that it is used for the greater good and in this case, to create energy and not bombs.
This is why he is not discounting the possibility of introducing a social science course in future.
Taking cue from another Nobel prize winner, Dr Abdus Salam of Pakistan, Dr Sulaiman says: "We have to ensure that science does not fall into irresponsible hands.

New iPhone app finds courses for any ATAR
Date posted: 18 Nov 2010
To help prospective students quickly calculate what courses they can study at Swinburne next year, the university has released a free ATAR calculator application for the iPhone.
Believed to be the first such iPhone app in Australia, it allows you to input any ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) and discover all available course options for study at Swinburne in 2011 (based on ‘clearly-in' ENTER scores from the 2010 intake).
The resulting list displays courses in descending score order. Scrolling down reveals all the degrees available followed by options at TAFE, so areas of interest can be fully explored.
"Prospective students can input their ATAR, choose a study area of interest, then hit the search button," said Swinburne Director of Marketing and Recruitment, Lee-ann Norris. "They can then scroll through the courses available and see what courses they can add to their preferences.
"The results should be used as a guide only as they are based on 2010 clearly-in ENTERs and do not take into account course demand and availability for 2011."
The app also links to further information about Swinburne, including the university's latest news and events and Twitter feed.
To download the app for your iPhone or iPad, search for Swinburne on the iTunes app store.

KLIUC’s Dean of Engineering won Silver Medal at Malaysia Technology Expo 2011
KLIUC’s Professor Dr. Roslan Zainal Abidin (Dean of the School of Engineering and Technology Infrastructure, SETI) in a joint research with UITM entitled “Landslide Risk Navigator Along Road (LaRiNav) won a silver medal at the recently concluded International Malaysia Technology Expo 2011 organised by the Malaysia Association of Research Scientists (MARS).
Landslide is one of the most destructive natural disasters in Malaysia and is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris or earth down the slope. These massive downward movements of material potentially can cause extensive damages to properties and human fatalities. Malaysia has experienced numerous landslides due to its climatic and geological conditions and combination of other causative factors. Most of the landslides occurred on cut-off slopes or embankments alongside roads and highways especially the hilly areas. Loss of lives, injury and infrastructure damage including road collapse are common adverse effects. Landslide Risk Navigator Along Road (LaRiNav) is an innovation to provide information on landslide risk along the road. This would help road users in planning a safe journey while assisting the respective government and private authorities to plan any preventive measures and landslide disaster management. LaRiNav gives five views of landslide risk along road by providing different approaches on how to interpret risk of the disaster. It is hope that LaRiNav will be one useful integrated landslide risk warning tool to help minimize the impacts of landslides.
