The increased stiffness in competition has dramatically increased the risk occurrence in project delivery. As the number of projects grows, enterprises or project managers have to eventually run simultaneous projects. Risk management in such cases becomes extremely necessary as failure of one project may lead to the near failure of all the parallel

The dexamethasone suppression test is a useful endocrinological test to diagnose Cushing's syndrome. However, its interpretation may be influenced by many factors such as stress, alcohol, failure to ingest the dexamethasone, altered metabolism, drug interaction and obesity. This report illustrates such an instance, whereby the result of the tes

Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare disease which mainly found in elderly men. It is usually a B-Cell non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma which primarily located in the heart and may involve the pericardium. The common presentations include massive pericardial effusion and heart failure. Clinical diagnosis is often delayed in these patients and prognosis is d

Bambangan (Mangifera pajang)is a type of wild mango from family of Anacardiaceae, an under-utilised fruit that can be found in their native area such as East Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Borneo Island (Malaysia-Sabah and Sarawak; Brunei). The fruit is three times larger than commercial mango (Mangifera indica). The fruit is edible and onstitutes one

The Islamic finance and banking industry has developed tremendously in recent years.The viability of this industry as an alternative method of investment can no longer be denied. As the current global economic and financial crisis laid bare the systemic problems of conventional finance, the Islamic financial system has been offered as a solution by

Although present in both humans and chimpanzees, recombination hotspots, at which meiotic crossover events cluster, differ markedly in their genomic location between the species. We report that a 13-base pair sequence motif previously associated with the activity of 40% of human hotspots does not function in chimpanzees and is being removed by self

This study focused on developing an efficient and cost effective processing technique for Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment. The produced natural coagulant can be used as an alternative to aluminum sulphate and other coagulants and used worldwide for water treatment. This study investigates proc

In this study, a nominal characteristic trajectory following (NCTF) controller for point-to-point (PTP) positioning system is introduced for two mass rotary system and its performance is evaluated. Generally, the NCTF controller consists of a nominal characteristic trajectory (NCT) and a compensator. The objective of the NCTF controller is to make

Gas flow-injection technique pyridine-FTIR was studied for determination of Lewis and Brönsted acid sites on the solid super acid catalysts. The system consists of stainless steel gas cell which can be heated up to 623 K, CaF2 windows, pyridine injection port and double liquid nitrogen trap for removal of moisture. Pure nitrogen gas and pyridine w

Dilated intercellular space (DIS) is considered as early signs of acid damage to the esophageal epithelium. The diffusion of refluxed gastric acid into the intercellular space activates chemo sensitive nociceptors whose signals are transmitted via the spinal cord to the brain for symptom (heartburn) perception as well as initiated a short reflex ar
