“This book enlightens us on the complexities of nationalism as manifested in Southeast Asia, and particularly in the postcolonial literature of three Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. It analyzes the difficulties attendant to the understanding of nationalism as a concept and to its formulation and definition in the colonial and postcolonial setting. It builds a fundamentally sound theoretical infrastructure within which to examine the concept of nationalism, national identity, and of nation itself.” (from the Foreword)

Time Keeping Device

This system integrates a barcode reader, fingerprint sensor and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connectivity, allowing for remote employee log-in over a WAN/LAN and user verification through off-line fingerprint matching. This system enables unlimited number of terminals to connect to a single centralized server, eliminating the need for dedicated personal computers to be connected to each terminal. This utility model addresses the issue of user verification by collecting log-in information containing barcode data and fingerpring image for biometric identification.

Applications: industry personnel log-in information, employee attendance verification, personnel biometric identification

Seaweed-Based Air Freshener Gel

Dr. Montaño and his team developed a seaweed-based air freshener with a characteristic gel-like texture. The low-cost air freshener makes use of the whole seaweed instead of the extracted polysaccharide leading to lower production cost. The base allows a slow release of the essence thus prolonging its shelf life. Unlike the fresheners commercially available, the seaweed-based air freshener can be divided into shapes and sizes for easier packing and utilization.

Applications: deodorant manufacturing, home care sector, environmental health care

Two Color (Two Photon) Excitation with Focused Excitation Beams and a Raman Shifter

Dr. Saloma and his team have invented a method for inducing highly localized light absorption in materials via two-color (two-photon) excitation (2CE). Compared to conventional methods, including two-photon single color excitation, two-color fluorescence excitation results in a higher spatial resolution. Furthermore, it is robust against effects of two-beam interference and breakdowns in confocality of the focused excitation beams. This technique can be applied to two-color fluorescence microscopy of optically thick and irregularly shaped biological samples.Optical beam-induced current imaging is a failure analysis technique for determining the presence of defects and discontinuities in an integrated circuit. The advantages of two-color excitation can be extended to it for the enhancement of resolution and image contrast. This technology is a key component of a practical 2CE microscope.

Applications: biomedical imaging, failure analysis in semiconductor industry
