Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) belongs to the Group-A β-lactamases that incorporate serine at their active site and hydrolyze various penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are group-B enzymes that contain one or two essential zinc ions in the active sites and hydrolyze almost all clin

The world is moving at a fast pace with the digital economy. A fourth industrial revolution has emerged, known as Industry Revolution 4.0. Just like autonomous cars promise to be the norm one day, the bank of the future will be mostly digital. However, together with the opportunity, this will also bring with it many new challenges such as cyber-thr

Background: The Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) is the most widely used scale for assessing nicotine dependence on conventional tobacco cigarettes (TCGs). But the FTND does not evaluate the subject’s nicotine dependence to electronic cigarette (EC). Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and assess an equivalent modified F

“Job satisfaction” is a pleasant or encouraging state of expression which is consequential from the valuation of one’s “organizational commitment”. The gladder the employee, the higher is the mindset of “job satisfaction”. It is presumed that “quality of work-life” and “compensation benefits” enhances “job satisfaction” wh

Millimeter wave (mm-Wave) is today’s breakthrough frontier for emerging wireless mobile cellular networks, wireless local area networks, personal area networks, and vehicular communications. In the near future, mm-Wave products, systems, theories, and devices will come together to deliver mobile data rates thousands of times faster than today’s

PRDM9 is a human zinc finger (ZF) gene responsible for initiating much or all of human recombination. PRDM9 shows extreme variation in both number and sequence of its ZFs, between species and amongst individuals, across mammals. The commonest PRDM9 allele binds the human hotspot motif, CCNCCNTNNCCNC, but other human alleles bind different targets.

This paper seeks to explore the Prophet (PBUH)’s methodology in dealing with other religions based on textual analysis of selected historical incidents that took place during the time of revelation. The goal of this study is to analyse the text related to these incidents in order to extract the methodologies used by the Prophet (PBUH) in dealing

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are carcinogenic food toxicants formed in cooked meats, which may increase the risk of cancer development in humans. Therefore, in this study, the effect of stingless bee honey from different botanical origins on the formation of HCAs in grilled beef satay was investigated. HCAs concentration in grilled beef satay was det

It is very difficult for people with visual impairment and blindness to access visual information. Thus, tactile graphics became one of the alternatives to help them access maps, graphs, painting, illustration and other graphical materials. However, it is challenging to use tactile graphics. The blind and visually impaired people need to have good

IoT integrates and connects intelligent devices or objects with varied architectures and resources. The number of IoT devices is growing exponentially. Due to the massive wave of IoT objects, their diversity and heterogeneity among their architectures, the existing communication protocols for wireless networks become ineffective in the context of I
