Cocoghurt is a novel fermentation product with coconut milk as the main raw ingredient. In this study, the starter concentration and fermentation time on the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the fatty acid profile and quality of the cocoghurt were examined. Lactobacillus casei sub sp. casei R-68 and Streptococcus thermophilus were used a

Introduction: Investigation of urine proteome in patients with acute melioidosis may reveal potential disease markers, from either bacterial or human proteins. We used an in-solution gel-free method instead of 2-DE to detect human and Burkholderia pseudomallei proteins in urine of patients with acute melioidosis. Here, we propose a simpler, economi

Hitherto, the eye modelling is based on the emmetropic eye taken its ocular optical components value from the population-based studies. However, no studies have been done to study the effect of aberration of myopic refractive error by modelling the eye using the parameters from ocular biometrics and ray tracing method. This study aimed to determine

A helmet is a kind of shielding equipment used to shield the head from fatal injuries. The helmet experiences drag while moving at a certain velocity. The total drag on the helmet increases with an increase in velocity. The drag force at high velocity has a significant effect on the rider's neck and may result in cervical spondylosis. Now a day

This is an expansion of my talk delivered at an emerging institution of women empowerment, Zaitoon International Girls’ Campus of Kerala, India. They invited me as a speaker for the inaugural session of a psychology conference conducted in the middle of 2019 on the theme, rethinking the paradigm of psychology: scientific and religious perspective

This paper proposes a new pneumatic mechanism for lime dosage in water treatment application. Conventionally, current water treatment system technologies utilising pump system, which requires scheduling maintenance of operation to avoid choke problem due to scaling development. The choke formation depends on the lime dosage concentration, which wil

The present study investigated the relationship between urbanpoor students’ perceptions of government assistance and poverty and their level of academic optimism. A survey was administered to 500 urban poor students in two major Malaysian cities, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. The students were identified and randomly selected for the study with t

Fig (Ficus carica L.) is a member of Moraceae family, and it is the only species in the genus that is planted for fruit production. Fig is a hermaphrodite diploid that can be categorised with 4 types of fruit. Fig pollination is normally assisted through pollinator wasp known as Blastophaga psenes L. Major genetic erosion has posed a threat to fig

In this study, melt blended compositions of pure PLA with additions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) up to 30 wt% were prepared. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the properties of PLA/PEG blends, such as structural, thermal, and morphol

This quantitative research investigated the level of foreign language anxiety (FLA) between different genders of Japanese foreign language learners in the higher education context in Malaysia considering that studies specifically focusing on gender differences in the foreign language anxiety among Japanese language learners is not actively explored
