Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) is a mass detection sensor capable of measuring mass sensitivity at nanogram levels when based on a thickness shear mode piezoelectric crystal set at high frequencies. These sensors detect with high accuracy while benefiting from simple geometry, low costs, and ease of fabrication. Researchers prefer piezoelectric

Abstract - Studies have shown that microfinance is capable of reducing poverty in rural areas in several countries around the world. Microfinance products are however, still dominated by conventional products despite a demand for shariah compliant microfinance products by Muslim clients. A survey conducted in Bangladesh found that even though Bangl

Surface sediment samples were collected from five stations covering 25 sampling points from the Langkawi coastal waters. Concentration of metals such as Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Cr were determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The detected concentration range of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Cr were 41.02-137.1 μgg-1, 14.36-46.3

Multiple transmitters/receivers (TX/RX) are used to improve the quality of Free Space Optics (FSO) communication system. With the current needs of this technology for longer distance, the qualitative analysis of the system has become essential. In this work, the received power level (PR) and bit error rate (BER) are considered to determine the FSO

Aim: To investigate transient early acute kidney injury (AKI) that occur in high risk patients. Background: Cardiac arrest resulted in interruption of renal blood flow to end organ including the kidney. AKI was reported to occur in up to 49% of patients following cardiac arrest. Several studies demonstrated a transient early elevation of serum crea

Background: The limitation of plasma creatinine in AKI diagnosis is mainly due to its delayed increase from time of insult, and hence resulted in delayed diagnosis. Earlier diagnosis is made possible with the discovery of various new AKI biomarker of injury. However, their performance in heterogenous ICU population is influenced by the time of meas

The Islamic spirituality permeating the practice of Muslim religious beliefs, values, and norms, is positioned to play a pivotal role in addiction prevention, treatment, rehabilitation therapy and recovery of Muslim addicts. This study seeks to explore potential interconnections between spirituality, addiction treatments, recovery, and the ways and

يتطلب التعليم في الزمن الحاضر استخدام الوسائل التعليمية الحديثة لتحقيق منهج تعليم ما، سواء أكان على مستوى عالٍ أم متوسط أم مبتدئ. وبما أن تعليم اللغة العربية في ماليزيا الآن قد شهد تطورًا كبير

We recently reported that TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is important in atherogenesis, since it can induce vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and arterial thickening following injury. Here we show the first demonstrate that TRAIL siRNA reduces platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-stimulated VSMC proliferation an

Web interactive multimedia technology (WIMT), which is an information and communication system, was introduced in a large metropolitan university. Its features are outlined in this paper, from simply textbased to more complex. The system incorporates several interactive and multimedia features, such as chat, audio, video, polling, whiteboard and de
