Roughly at 11.40pm this night, I managed to submit an abstract to ICoST2020 conference via EasyChair system. This work which was done by JL Lim, my PSM student who diligently work on the thermodynamic modelling. Hopefully this abstract will be accepted for presentation and subsequently accepted for publication in any of the scopus journal under the agreement with this conference.
Despite attending the engineering education Workshop Part 3, I attended the PhD mock viva for Shafiqah, a student that I co-supervised (She is supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mazura Jusoh). The event took place at 2.15pm till 5pm. The session was very fruitful and hopefully she can rapidly improve her slides and presentation for next week’s VIVA session.
There has been numerous activities in my UTM RADIS System. I have received new grants, applied for new activity as well as waiting for claim for activities. Today, I am checking out and trying to update my Radis. One grant will be ending this 31st January and I need to prepare a report for that grant. Then, managed the other grants as well. All the best to me 🙂 . One of my grant has been just activated.

Today after lunch I met 2 of my PSM students, namely Adny and Nasyitah. The mission today was to view their slide presentation content and also get them to practice. I spent 1.5 hour with them from 2.30pm to 4pm. We had a great session together and I hope they can present well on this Sunday PSM Presentation 2.

Zuhair, a final year chemical engineering student from my faculty shared a simple yet informative information about 8 hazardous chemicals detected a Sim Sim river, Pasir Gudang, Johor.
He prepared the notes in Bahasa Malaysia to help dwellers in affected areas (and others) know, learn and aware about the tremendous danger from the chemicals.
What Zuhair has done yesterday was spot on when there was no proper explanation or elaboration on the 8 hazardous chemicals explained publicly in a simple version, which could be clearly understood by normal people.
His notes was shared and viraled, and detected by a local newspaper. The newspaper published his notes. It can be seen in the link below:

Well done Zuhair Ozil 
🙂
For the rest of us, lets contribute whatever we can… such as…
– Solat hajat & prayers
– Donations (money, time, energy, food etc)
– Knowledge & expertise
– Volunteer work of any kind
– Advice, suggestions etc formally to authority
– or anything to help…
In short, lets hope and pray all the best for Pasir Gudang speedy recovery.
In a different note, we condemned the massive terrorist attact in New Zealand earlier today. May Allah protect us all. Amin.

What is Proximate Analysis?
Proximate analysis is a way to determine the distribution of products when the samples are heated under specified conditions.
From: Fuel Flexible Energy Generation, 2016
What is Ultimate Analysis?
Ultimate Analysis Tests. Ultimate analysis tests produce more comprehensive results than the proximate analyses. SGS uses the results from ultimate analysis tests to determine the elemental composition of the coal including moisture, ash, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen (by difference).
It’s Friday today, our off day. However, due to my hectic daily work, I can only to some of my usual dekstop work today, the off-day. Just completed 1 conference manuscript, few more to be reviewed.
Will post update status soon today.
