Fire accelerants such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel have commonly been used in arson cases. Improved analytical methods involving the extraction of fire accelerants are necessary to increase sample yield and to reduce the number of uncertain findings. In this study, an analytical method based on headspace single drop microextraction (HS-SDME) f

Phytate is largely unavailable to monogastric animal such as swine, poultry and fish, as they lack of sufficient endogenous enzymatic activity to hydrolyze phytate. The result is the elimination of precious nutrients that would be beneficial to their growth; furthermore they will excrete most of the indigestive phytate which can contribute to phosp

Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is a new method for achieving ultraprecision surface on hard and brittle materials. In ELID grinding, pulsed direct current voltage is applied on the metal-bonded diamond wheels to ensure constant protrusion of sharp cutting grits throughout the grinding cycle. The peak dressing voltage is kept const

Objective: The purpose of the research is to have a better understanding on perception, knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS in a fishermen's village of East Coast, Malaysia. The findings will be used to further improve HIV/AIDS intervention programmes. Design: A cross sectional study was conducted among adult Malays aged 18 to 49 in a fishe

COVID-19 is a disease that puts most of the world on lockdown and the search for therapeutic drugs is still ongoing. Therefore, this study used in silico screening to identify natural bioactive compounds from fruits, herbaceous plants, and marine invertebrates that are able to inhibit protease activity in SARS-CoV-2 (PDB: 6LU7). We have used extens

This study examines the efficiency of general or non-life takaful and insurance industry in Malaysia during the period 2007 to 2009. In order to measure their efficiencies, the output-input data consists of a panel of 28 general or non-life takaful and insurance companies are used. The most commonly used non-parametric approach, namely, Data Envelo

The article explores a sample of papers on Islamic finance and sustainability to define some streams of literature on this topic. The paper aims to validate whether it is possible to interpret the multitude of contributions in three different research streams that consider environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The research conducts a

Reclaiming cultural landscape is the idea of regaining the valuable heritage of human legacy that represents peoples’ identity and original culture of a group of people or place which cannot be replaced or regained after it has been destroyed. From Islamic point of view, cultural landscape presents the notion of revealing and sustaining the great

Thin film piezoelectric materials play an essential role in micro electro mechanical system (MEMS)energy harvesting due to its low power requirement and high available energy densities. Non-ferroelectric piezoelectric materials such as ZnO and AlN are highly silicon compatible making it suitable for MEMS energy harvesters in self-powered microsyste

Dispute resolution outside the court is not new in human interactions. Different societies across the world have long used non-judicial indigenous methods to resolve conflicts. Family disputes, more often than not, are rarely concerned with matters of fact but are almost invariably complicated by the intense and intimate emotions of the parties in
