This paper highlights parts of the finding of a larger study which aimed to explore Vocational and Technical Institution (VTI) students’ perceptions and attitudes towards mathematics. Students’ opinions of instructors’ support and behavior towards them, the way these instructors carry out their mathematics lesson and student’ awareness of m

The flavor extract components contributing to the characteristic aroma notes of roasted and steamed tropical almond nuts were investigated by means of gas chromatographyolfactometry and mass spectrometry of solvent extracts. Roasting and steaming data revealed all of the main classes of compounds commonly listed as thermally generated flavors in oi

ARID3A/DRIL1/Bright is a family member of the AT rich interaction domain (ARID) DNA-binding proteins that are involved in diverse biological processes. We have reported that p53 activates ARID3A transcription, and ARID3A overexpression induces G1 arrest. However, the role of ARID3A in the p53 pathway remains unclear. Here, we show that ARID3A coope

The extent of Maillard reaction and the development of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (HMF) were evaluated in two roasted plantain cultivars (French sombre and Dwarf kalapua), at different ripening stages. Roasting at high temperature (210°C) and roasting duration were shown to increase the development of HMF in the roasted samples. Similarly, ri

A leaky-wave array antenna based on the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) model is presented. The array, which consists of 3 elements arranged in a 3x1 configuration had a footprint of 73.2 x 23.8 mm. Investigation of the unit cell that makes up the single point sources of the array and the current distribution surround the

The purpose of this article is to expose and identify the development of maslahah, as a dynamic principle of the Islamic jurisprudence of a high methodological significance. To achieve this objective, the authors undertake an in depth study of jurists discourse on maslahah, and hence, an analysis of the various stages of its development. Both histo

It is argued that, since qiyas presents a mechanism for the derivation of rulings from the textual sources of the law, in the light of its purposes, the existence of a relation between qiyas and the purposes of the law can be visualized. For, it is in the light of the consideration of the purposes that the rational of a given text is extended to th

This study analyses Islamic an Western world views briefly in a comparative perspective and attempts to analyse their influence and effect in the explanation of social phenomenon.

The Kulliyyah of Economics & Management Science (KENMS)management had been receiving casual complaint from students and lectures about the performance of quantitative courses in the Kulliyyah. Accordingly, the Dean, Prof. Dr. Khalid Ahmad, commissioned Prof. Dr. Moussa Larbani to conduct a study on the subject. Prof. Dr. Moussa (principal Resea

A tissue culture protocol for regeneration of Jatropha curcas using leaf explants via somatic embryogenesis was established. The best response for callus induction from leaf explants was on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing BA (1.0 and 2.0 mg l-1) and IBA (1.0 mg l-1). Callus was maintained in light and dark on MS medium supplemented with
