Palm oil mill effluent (POME) constitutes 60% of the wastes generated in typical palm oil mill and its environmental impact has been identified to be harmful to aquatic lives. This project examined the potential of degrading POME with microorganisms that are indigenous to POME. Thus, two microorganisms were isolated from POME using serial dilution

Psychological personality theorists had something to say about morality, but the topic of Islamic morality remains largely unstudied. This study investigates the indicators of the Moral Character of Muslim Personality (MCMP) as given in the context of Qur’anic verses. The results of Confirmatory Factor Analyses on data collected from 312 Yemeni s

Introduction: A good practice of universal precaution (UP) is a powerful tool to reduce the risk of contacting nosocomial infections in clinical settings. The knowledge level of UP affects the positive attitude and good practice of universal precaution. Objectives: The aim of the study is to identify knowledge, attitudes and practice related to UP

This paper examines the role of law by enforcement agents, especially the police, in investigating the crime of terrorism in Jordan, and focuses on the procedural rules for the investigation of terrorism, the nature of the police agencies in the Jordanian criminal justice system, the main traditional and specified, investigatory and accusatory auth

With the rapid development in the amount of molecular biological structures, computational molecular docking (CMD) approaches become one of the crucial tools in rational drug design (RDD). Currently, number of researchers are working in this filed to overcome the recent issues of docking by using genetic algorithm approach. Moreover, Genetic Algori

Multivariate regional statistical models were developed to estimate flood peak values of various return periods in the Peninsular Malaysia. Annual maximum flood peak data was collected, screened and analysed to identify the river gauging stations potential to produce identical flood frequency curves. The Peninsula was divided into ten (10) flood re

Cellulase obtained from the fermentation of sewage treatment plant sludge (STP) by Trichoderma-reesei RUT C-30 was covalently immobilised on functionalised multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Statistical optimisation using the Plackett–Burman design method was implemented to identify parameters with significant effects on the process of immobilisation.

Isotherms and kinetic models are useful tool for the investigation of adsorption process. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on powdered activated carbons (PACs) was used as novel adsorbent. Two isotherms and three kinetic models were studied for the removal of cadmium from water. The isotherms were Langmuir and Freundlich and the kinetic models were ps

This paper presents an efficient technique for availability evaluation of scalable complex network. The proposed technique is based on a decomposition process of a complex n-tuple bridge network into 2n simple subnetworks, whose reliabilities are easily found through availability/unavailability product rules. The decomposition is realized through a

A new experimental porous glass ceramic coating for dental implants was prepared with a new formula consisted of a sintered glass ceramic based on alumina, silica glass and boron trioxide. The resultant sintered objects were anodized by one step anodization method at a constant potential of 40V and at a temperature of 22°C. X-ray diffraction analy
