Tualang Honey (TH) is a multifloral jungle honey that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Thus, it has been proposed as a potential supplement in the management of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study aimed to identify potential key genes and biological process associated with the therapeutic effects of

The increasing western culture and economic influence all over the world after the World War Two (Jones, 2007) has seen the growing use of English language as a second language in Malaysia. Despite some resentment towards the language as a colonizer’s language (Stephen, 2013), the influence of the English language can be seen in the Malay languag

A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher level networks. The dynamic communication performance of the HTN using the dimension-order routing under common traffic patterns have been evaluated, and have been sho

Performance of immobilized β-glucosidase obtained from almonds (EC 3.2.1.21) on calcium alginate beads was studied by measuring the activity of the enzyme in terms of the generation of pnitrophenol from the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG).The immobilized enzyme activity was compared with soluble enzyme and was found to decr

Kinetics and enzymatic activity of free and immobilized β-glucosidase by entrapment in calcium alginate beads was studied for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG). Three different sizes of beads, i.e., 3 mm, 4 mm and 5mm were studied and maximum activity was obtained in 4 mm beads, which was employed for subsequent studies.

Increased water shortages and new environmental policies and regulations have stimulated significant development in reuse programs in the past 20 years.1 Reclaimed water has been recognized as a vital and drought-proof water source to ensure economic and agricultural activities. According to the conclusions of various water reuse surveys, the best
