Congratulations:               

                   Happy Birthday

Muhammad^PBUH was born and lived in Mecca for ~52 years (c. 570–622). He lived in Madinah for 10 other years. His living in Mecca can be divided into two phases, before and after declaration of his prophecy. His father died almost six months before his birth. Due to his upright character he acquired the nickname "ftrustworthy" and was sought out as an impartial arbitrator.

Muhammad^(PBUH): “What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured.” “Be not like the hypocrite who, when he talks, tells lies; when he gives a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he proves dishonest." "He who will do good to the needy, God will do good to him in this world and the next.”

Foamy titanium scaffolds of excellent attachment and proliferation cell properties needless of surface preparation were fabricated by 100 % titanium hydride and space holder utilization. Well-controlled spherical pores with mechanical property improvement were achieved by the newly developed technique.

Amorphous SnO film deposited from electron beam vapor converted into nanocrystalline Romarchite and tetragonal SnO₂ by heat treatment. Doping led to a fine and uniform morphology with less Sn clustering during cycling. Anodic behavior of the thin film SnO₂ during charge/discharge exersize showed that Zn-dopping nearly doubled the specific capacity of the pure SnO₂.

In presence of sodium citrate, PVA and K2CO3, mixture of silver oxide and Ag-Ni ANPs was achieved. Stoichiometry of the Ag-Ni ANPs was found strongly dependent on ligands of the reduction reaction. Without any ligand, 100% Ag-Ni ANPs was observed. Using THPC resulted in construction of near-uniform ANPs. NPs having up to 65 % Ni were obtained for the first time in this research.
