Nowadays, various algorithms inspired by natural processes have been extensively applied in solving engineering problems. This study proposed Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), a computational approach inspired by the processes of human immune system, as an algorithm to predict future rainfall. This proposed algorithm is another alternative technique

Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) β is a pleiotropic growth factor implicated in the development of atherosclerosis for its role in mediating glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain hyperelongation on the proteoglycan biglycan, a phenomenon that leads to increased binding of atherogenic lipoproteins in the wall of blood vessels. TGF-β signalling pathway com

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound consisting of silicon and carbon. It is also known as carborundum. SiC is used as an abrasive material after it was mass produced in 1893. The credit of mass production of SiC goes to Edward Goodrich Acheson. Now SiC is used not only as an abrasive, but it is also extensively used in making cutting tools, structu

Hydroxychavicol (HC) is a phenolic compound of betel leaf (Piper betle). It has been reported to have antifungal properties against dermatophytes including T. rubrum. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of the HC against T. rubrum. Broth dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungi
