This research was conducted to examine the growth profile, growth kinetics, and insulinsecretory responsiveness of BRIN-BD11 cells grown in optimized medium on different types of microcarriers (MCs). Comparisons were made on modified polystyrene (Hillex� II) and crosslinked polystyrene Plastic Plus (PP) from Solohill Engineering. The cell line pr

The paper looks at the effects of real actuator dynamics in a railway suspension. With the actuators are placed in the front and rear of the secondary suspensions vehicle body, the performance of real actuators in secondary suspension is investigated. The performance of an electromechanical actuator (EMA) in the active railway secondary suspension

The need of security to protect the data through networks has become of vital importance and critical for many sensor network applications. There are several security schemes implemented using hardware or software trying to solve the problem of security in WSN by taking into consideration the limitations of sensors (bandwidth and energy), the major

The study is carried out to ascertain relative availability of the materials of Islamic management using data mining through the Internet search engines (ISE’s). The contents of thirteen ISE’s are analysed using a specially created format. The present study established the relative ratios of the coverage of selected terms in terms of number of

Financial Planning Model is adapted with the hybrid of fuzzy logic. The fuzzy logic displays the morphology of the results that help us to think efficiently based on the knowledge systems. The study is done on randomly selected college students in Terengganu. The result shows that students have different spending behaviors based on two different fi

In order to obtain high ionic conductivity of a solid electrolyte at intermediate temperatures, a very thin dense film is crucial due to its reduced ohmic losses. This work describes the fabrication of yttria-stablized zirconia (8YSZ) thin films using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The thin films were deposited on carbon paint co

The development of medical science had been the fruit of a conscious attempt to solve the problem medical and health care of the Muslim community. Based upon principles that are derived from the basic teachings of the religion of Islam, this branch of knowledge is always in conformity with the Islamic worldview in which God, man and the nature are

This study is focused on the evaluation of the vohnnetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) of E. coli fermentation producing ~-glucuronidase enzyme in different bioreactor operating conditions. The operating conditions used were according to the Taguchi's method design using three factors of fermentation viz., temperature, agitation speed and ai

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of selected conventional and Islamic unit trust companies in Malaysia during the period 2002 to 2005. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to investigate efficiency, as measured by the Malmquist index, which is decomposed into two comp

This article aims to make a survey of business and political environments for inward Foreign Direct Investment performance of the Muslim countries. It offers a cross-country analysis of the 57 Muslim majority countries’ FDI performance during 1995-2007. The research finds that the business environment in the Muslim countries is not favourable for
