Concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) in the tissues and saliva extracts of leeches (Hirudinaria manillensis) collected from Cheneh Lake, Terengganu, Malaysia were investigated. Concentrations of HMs like Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Selenium (Se) and Zinc (Zn) were revealed by utilising Inductively

This article focuses on the human developmental aspects both from Western and Islamic Perspectives. The discussion touches lifespan development from inception, the embroyonic and fetal stages.1 Dr Siti Rafiah Abd Hamid Section 2: Physical Development Amira h Batrisya Bunyamin, a five months old baby , lies on the mat in her living room, i s a healt

Six Sigma is a quality improvement methodology that is widely used by both service and manufacturing organisations. It was pioneered by Motorola but gained wide-reaching recognition through extensive adoption of the methodology by General Electric. Six Sigma focuses on the DMAIC principles of define, measure,analyse, improve, and control with team-

The human discomfort from combined noise and vibration has been investigated with a new perspective. The concept in perturbation effect has been adopted to formulate a new novel predictive model of human discomfort from noise and vibration. A psycho-physics experiment has been designed to identify the perturbation effect which caused by noise stimu

Current pharmacological treatments for osteoarthritis are analgesics and intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acid (IAHA). Rheological measurements were performed on the viscosupplements to evaluate viscosity and dynamic responses with the aim to compare Synvisc (high molecular weight IAHA) with Suplasyn (low molecular weight IAHA). Both are wide

Power control is a critical parameter for the design and evaluation of UWB-based WPAN networks due to its distributed control nature and non-fixed topology. The main issues in UWB PC are the channel gain fluctuations induced by indoor channel fluctuation and interference arising from narrowband systems. In this paper we introduce a joint PHY/MAC te

Paying due attention to the relevant theoretical foundation is important in developing new rulings for application in fields such as modern banking and finance. Research on the primary layout of shari’ah rulings indicates that in many instances, individual theoretical foundations have served as the basis for all the rulings on a specific legal ar

Mobile Commerce also known as M-commerce is thought to be the next big phase in technologically dependent society after following E-commerce era. Mobile commerce has been a huge success in terms of individuals’ adoption in some markets like Japan, while, surprisingly, not as flourishing in others. Many studies have been conducted using traditiona

Wireless multihop network is currently attracting much attention as a new wireless broadband access technology due to numerous benefits. This work proposes a power control scheme for WiMAX multihop relay system. In contrast to existing power control and optimization approaches, our proposed method uses an adaptive Channel Quality Measurement for a

Based on Alfred Marshall’s assumptions of microeconomics, consumer behavior and satisfaction focus on maximizing utility. The conventional theories are more mathematical, explaining consumer behavior theory, while Islam emphasizes moral value, ethics, and limitations in consumption. Zuhd literally connotes emotional detachment, renunciation, aust
