Greener alternatives to synthetic polymers are constantly being investigated and sought after. Chitin is a natural polysaccharide that gives structural support to crustacean shells, insect exoskeletons, and fungal cell walls. Like cellulose, chitin resides in nanosized structural elements that can be isolated as nanofibers and nanocrystals by vario

This study investigates the performance of three ionic liquids (ILs), trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate, trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium decanoate, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, as lubricant additives in synthetic oil polyalphaolefin (PAO8) and bio-based oil trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPT

21st century learning involves mastering the 4 C’s, namely Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity. One pedagogical application that potentially capitalis-es these elements is game-based language learning in Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs), such as massively multiplayer online role-playing games MMORPGs for learnin

Masjid Lama Kampung Tanjung Beringin was built in 1892 by Raja Melewar and the villagers. The mosque is left abandoned for many years without proper care, hence this building has present of defects and missing parts. Restoration an old building with different function has been applied a long time ago with the intention of reviving the building. The

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a popular and valuable fruit in Malaysia. The present study aims to determine the proximate composition, mineral contents and functional properties of jackfruit seed powder (JSP) of Mastura cultivar and assess the toxicity of the jackfruit seed crude extract using embryonic zebrafish model. The proximate anal

This study demonstrates the effects of aqueous phase pH, KCl concentration and IPA amount on backward extraction efficiency of jacalin from AOT reverse micellar phase into a fresh stripping phase solution. The best condition for backward extraction of jacalin was achieved at the stripping phase pH of 9, 0.75 M KCl and with the addition of 30% v/v I

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that is associated with mortality and morbidity. Recently, several plant-based agents have been used in the management of diabetes. Pluchea indica has been traditionally consumed as a medicinal plant in Southeast Asia, and its leaves have demonstrated induction of hypoglycemic eff

A study on the alkaloidal composition on the Malaysian Annonaceae species, i.e Popowia perakensis King has been carried out. Barks of Popowia perakensis were extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol, respectively. Dichloromethane extract further underwent the acid base treatment to give the alkaloidal crude extract. Isolation of compound

The convergence of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Information Communication Technology (ICT) allows the mobile and wireless application to be implemented in Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. In addition to the advancement of cellular technology and spectrum refarming, GSM-based AMR system is continuously facing propagation cha

Within the context of learning English for specific purposes (ESP), vocabulary acquisition plays a crucial role in the development of written and spoken communication in both technical and non-technical industries. Thus, the use of vocabulary learning strategies would determine both learners' fluency as well as confidence in communicating. This
