Congratulations

Congratulations:

for Great Eid Adha

Adam^(PBUH)constructed the original Kaaba, which was demolished by the Great Flood at the time of Noah^(PBUH). Abraham and Ismael^(PBUT)rebuilt the Kaaba on the old foundations. The rites were instituted by Abraham^(PBUH)as a way of obtaining perfection.

Abraham and Ismael^(PBUT): "Our Lord! Accept from us; surely You are the Hearing, the Knowing. Our Lord! Make us both submissive to You and raise from our off-spring a nation submitting to You and show us ways of devotion and turn to us mercifully. You are the oft-Returning to mercy, the Most Merciful."

This review focuses on two critical aspects of LIB health management: the accurate prediction of the
state of health (SOH) and the estimation of remaining useful life (RUL). Achieving precise SOH
predictions extends the lifespan of LIBs but also offers invaluable insights for optimizing
battery usage. By delving into the current state of research
in this field, the review aims to elucidate promising future avenues for leveraging ML in the context
of LIBs. Notably, it underscores the increasing necessity for advanced RUL prediction techniques and
their role in addressing the challenges associated with the burgeoning demand for electric vehicles.

Catalyst for CH4 reforming

Methane steam reforming is an assuring reaction using steam to produce H₂as clean energy over a nicκel- based catalyst. We synthesized mesoporous monometallic NiMgAl2O4 and bimetallic NiCoMgAl2O4 catalysts in a two-step combustion method using a mix of fuels and powder metallurgy. The evaluation tests at 750 ◦C showed the bimetallic catalyst has the highest conversion of 99.30% with low carbon deposition of 0.09% after 15 h.

Ni0.8Co0.2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S/g-C3N4 ternary nano- photocatalyst for improved visible-light-driven photocatalytic H2 evolution and pollutants degradation

The catalytic performance of Ni0.8Co0.2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S/g-C3N4 is attributed to the formation of a direct Z-scheme heterojunction between Ni0.8Co0.2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S and g-C3N4, which can accelerate the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers. The H2 evolution rate of Ni0.8Co0.2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S/g-C3N4 during the experiments did not significantly decrease, suggesting that Ni0.8Co0.2/Zn0.8Cd0.2S/g-C3N4 exhibits durability. Consequently, this ternary nano-photocatalyst can be a potential photocatalytic material for H2 evolution under visible light.

NiTi Lumbar Vertebra

NiTi Lumbar Vertebra:

A simple and affordable sintering/braiding technique produced a shape memory Nickel Titanium implant aiming to have outstanding shock absorption, strength, biocompatibility, and cell growth capability for lumbar vertebra substitution. The elastic modulus of the sample was 3.5 GPa, and its compressive strength at 6 % strain was 200 MPa. The alloy was thermoelastic, making it a good candidate for placement in bone tissue. The biocompatibility and non-toxicity of the bone cells, with cell viability of over 4 × 10⁴ cells within 48 h, indicated that the produced implant had suitable cellular biocompatibility.
