INVITATION TO THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE WELLNESS INDUSTRY (7th ICBWI) AT UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.

 

We are pleased to inform you that the 7th International Conference on Biotechnology for the Wellness Industry will be held on the 27th & 28th November 2018 at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.

 

This year’s theme brings us to explore and discover Bioresources for Human Wellness by recognising the significant role of leading the healthy lifestyle to promote wellness, prevent illnesses and in return allowing humans to enjoy high-quality life. We will be deliberating on the scientific aspects of how biotechnology can be incorporated in wellness activities to enhance and elevate the productivity and output of individuals and organisational performance.

 

The main objective of this conference is to provide a platform for people associated with the wellness industry to disseminate and share their ideas. Towards this, the conference aims to bring academicians, scientists, health care providers, policymakers together for the exchange of views and experiences. Selected papers will be published in Scopus or Web of Science-ESCI-Indexed Journal.

We would like to officially invite academicians, students, biotechnologists, healthcare providers, scientists and policymakers to this pioneering event.

Attached herewith the new FYP1 course information, action plan and new rubrics.
Please refer to action plan for FYP1 timeline and important dates.
Important changes:
A) NEW RUBRICS: Students will be assessed based on
  1. Log-book (20%) -can be either a book or a file
  2. Rinkoh (30%) – Weekly meetings, participation and presentation
  3. Report (30%) – to be submitted to examiner on week 13
  4. Presentation (20%) – 3 minute thesis format on week 14

*determined by FYP coordinators
**determined by supervisor
ALL forms will be online and the link will be given prior to each assessment. The forms in the attachment are only for references.

B) 3-MINUTE THESIS SEMINAR

The seminar will be held on the 14th week. Students will have to present their project in a ‘3-minute thesis’ format, with additional 5 minutes for Q&A. They will have to prepare ONLY 1 slide as a visual guide for their presentation.

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Posted on by

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that contain information about the surface topography and composition of the sample. The electron beam is scanned in a raster scan pattern, and the position of the beam is combined with the detected signal to produce an image. SEM can achieve resolution better than 1 nanometer. Specimens are observed in high vacuum in conventional SEM, or in low vacuum or wet conditions in variable pressure or environmental SEM, and at a wide range of cryogenic or elevated temperatures with specialized instruments.[1]

The most common SEM mode is the detection of secondary electrons emitted by atoms excited by the electron beam. The number of secondary electrons that can be detected depends, among other things, on specimen topography. By scanning the sample and collecting the secondary electrons that are emitted using a special detector, an image displaying the topography of the surface is created. Read More

Focused ion beam (FIB)

Posted on by

Focused ion beam, also known as FIB, is a technique used particularly in the semiconductor industry, materials science and increasingly in the biological field for site-specific analysis, deposition, and ablation of materials. A FIB setup is a scientific instrument that resembles a scanning electron microscope (SEM). However, while the SEM uses a focused beam of electrons to image the sample in the chamber, a FIB setup uses a focused beam of ions instead. FIB can also be incorporated in a system with both electron and ion beam columns, allowing the same feature to be investigated using either of the beams. FIB should not be confused with using a beam of focused ions for direct write lithography (such as in proton beam writing). These are generally quite different systems where the material is modified by other mechanisms.Read More
