Introduction: The use of electronic cigarette and vape (ECV) among adults has been rapidly in Malaysia. Objectives: The primary objective of this paper is to understand the characteristics of ECV users in Malaysia by assessing the perceptions and demographic variables. The influence of perceptions and demographic variables were assessed on the curr

The high gas-sensing performance of semiconductors is mainly due to its high surface-to-volume ratio as it permits a large exposed surface area for gas detection. This paper presents an evaluation study for the effects of Nano CuO coating parameters on the CO gas-sensing performance. The effects on gas sensing performance and heat trans-fer efficie

There is a growing number from 1,002,000 to 1,169,000 (2010 to 2014) of ethnic entrepreneur?s involvement in Malaysia especially in small business activities. It is also estimated in 2015 that 6.7 million ethnic entrepreneurs concentrating in all walks of economics activities in the country. Some of them coming as an under-skilled migration, howeve

The techniques of wet and dry bonding have been well accepted to facilitate clinicians under certain circumstances during bonding of composite restoration. Recent universal adhesive system with different solvent types have the ability to overcome excessive moist phenomena or dessication on the dentin surface and played an important role in bonding

The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological changes of etched dentin by sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) pre-treatment method applied for different durations and smear layer (SL) thickness. Sixty human molars were used in this study and sectioned at the coronal part to expose a flat dentin disc. They were ground with #180-or #600-grit sil

Abstract: Secure software development practices adoption could be the most influential factor for the future of software industry. Awareness and knowledge about security mechanisms and secure coding techniques plays a vital role in decision to consider security during software development by the software developers. This study aims to explore the s

Image processing algorithm requires high computational power. Optimizing the algorithm to be run on an embedded platform is very critical as the platform provides limited computational resources. This research focused on optimizing and implementing a vision-based Around View Monitoring (AVM) system running on two embedded boards of Cortex-A7 quad a

Fifth-generation (5G) forums in ASEAN countries have proposed lower frequency bands for 5G applications at 4.5 – 5.5 GHz and also the fixed-satellite service (FSS) has realised 3.3 – 3.8 GHz in C-band for 5G cellular communication recently, which leads the necessity of proposing antennas for the particular bands. In this paper, a compact ultra-

Orodispersible tablets disintegrate rapidly (within 3 minutes) in the oral cavity and release the medicament before swallowing. The mode of disintegrant addition might affect the properties of orodispersible tablets. The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate orodispersible tablets by studying different modes of disintegration additi
