Abstract. In the present work the influence of current, voltage and spark on-time on electrode material migration to the workpiece has been investigated. It was found that when the current or voltage is high, a spark with higher energy is produced and mote electrode material is melted and migrated to the work surface. When spark on-time is higher,

The structural component of fungal cell walls comprises of chitin covalently bonded to glucan; this constitutes a native composite material (chitin-glucan, CG) combining the strength of chitin and the toughness of glucan. It has a native nano-fibrous structure in contrast to nanocellulose, for which further nanofibrillation is required. Nanopapers

Malaysia operates a dual legal system: Common/Civil law and the Islamic legal system. The common law system is a legacy of British colonialism, 1824-1957. The Shari‘ah based system is Islamic in which Islamic law is implemented in the country. The Supreme law in Malaysia is the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, which was created right after Malay

Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) electropolymerized and deposited onto screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) was studied for anodic/cathodic peak current and cycle stability (life cycle). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows that the redox ability of SPCEs electropolymerized with PEDOT:PSS (SPCE/PEDOT:PSS)

Fungal chitin is attracting commercial and academic interest as a cheap, renewable, easily isolated and abundant alternative to crustacean chitin. Being covalently decorated with β-glucan, fungal chitin exhibits a native nanocomposite architecture that varies in fibre diameter and chitin to β-glucan ratio from species to species, resulting in mec

The inspection and grading of the watermelon are done manually but it is a tedious job and it is difficult for the graders to maintain constant vigilance. Thus, the image processing has widely been used for identification, detection, grading and quality evaluation in the agricultural field. The objective of this work is to investigate the sweetness

Objectives: Young men are at higher cardiovascular risk compared to the female counterparts. Since cortisol could have a role in the pathophysiology of cardiometabolic syndrome, it could contribute to the observed intersex risk difference. The aim of this study is to examine the association between cortisol level and the cardiometabolic parameters

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the education landscape worldwide. As part of the Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL) implemented by International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) during Movement Control Order (MCO) and Restricted MCO in Malaysia, a new method of assessment i.e. synchronous online assessment via quiz activi

Public transportation is a service that has been in demand among many people in Malaysia, and Kereta Api Tanah Melayu (KTM) Komuter is one of the public transportation systems. After the establishment of the KTM Komuter, the Malaysian government decided to introduce the Ladies Coach or Pink Public Transportation (PPT) by KTM in 2010 to promote wome

Restorative justice, as a viable alternative to retributive justice, emerged in the West during the 1970s and 1980s. It emphasises respect, dialogue, and collaborative decision-making. This study explains the principles of the restorative justice system and describes various Islamic principles and values akin to restorative justice. Such a study is
