Essential hypertension is a common multifactorial disease which affects 10% to 40% of the population, causing significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (P.Trenk et al., 1999). It is believed that hypertension occurs from complex interactions between multiple environmental and genetic factors. Between 30 and 60% of blood pressure variations

Introduction: Bladder scan is a well known non invasive and cost effective tool for the measurement of post void residual urine(PVR) however with some limitation. Literature on the efficacy of bladder scan on big uterus is limited and not promising. Study Objective: To determine the validity of bladder scan BV13000 in detection of bladder volume in

ABSTRACT The chapter focuses on the growth kinetics and modelling of recombinant Escherichia coli in fermentation processes. Experimental data for from four bioreactors were analyzed using Monod, Logistic and Contois models. A comparison between the models' predicted values of cell, substrate and product (β-glucuronidase enzyme) was done with

It is a simple study that trying to examine the gap between the students' expectation on trustworthiness and their perceived trustworthiness. The study formulated four research questions. The implications and recommendation for future research were also presented.

Presently, there is no specific federal legislation governing articular cartilage tissue engineering (ACTE) experimentation practices in Malaysia. However, there are related regulations and guidelines provided by government agencies to oversee and guide such practices. The rules and regulations provided in the documents have the essential aim of sa

Purpose – To achieve proper waste management, the disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) is one suitable method. Most developing countries, including Malaysia, are facing lack of e-waste recycling facilities and low household participation. Using a survey method using a questionnaire, this study aims to examine the intention of Malaysian househol

This study aims to examine the influence of behavioral and demographic factors on indebtedness by constructing a model using specific determinants. The exploratory method is used through the partial least square (SmartPLS) technique, by surveying 320 respondents in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to respon

This study examines the effects and relationships between Malaysia’s economic growth and selected variables which are oil price volatility, stock price, real exchange rate and real interest rate. Using time-series data methodology, the study employs unit root test using Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) and Phillips–Perron (PP), Auto-Regressive D

We introduce a model of interaction between a three-level atom (3LA) and a one-mode field whose frequency evolves with the time in the context of triangular potentials. We consider a new class of cat states described as a superposition of the coherent states that are associated with these kinds of potentials. Mathematical and physical consequences

—In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna is proposed to be implemented for 5G broadband wireless communication. The single element antenna was designed to operate in the Priority 1 spectrum 3.5 GHz band set by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The antenna was built on a Rogers RT5880 substrate with a dimension of 44
