According to Hyland (2006), one key issue in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is related to the notion of specificity, which has been discussed in two approaches in EAP: ‘English for General Academic Purposes’ (EGAP) and ‘English for Specific Academic Purposes’ (ESAP). The knowledge of these two approaches is deemed important for EAP ins

Communication involves verbal and nonverbal communication. However, many people pay less attention to nonverbal communication as people focus more on verbal communication without realizing that human use nonverbal communication as much as using verbal communication in daily life (Lunenburg, 2010). Interestingly, there are differences in showing exp

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the method in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. CO2 capturing using calcium oxide (CaO) solid sorbents has been considered as an advanced concept for CO2 capture and recovery. However, the adsorption capacity of CaO decreases during repeated adsorption/desorption cycles. The stab

In search of potent anti-inflammatory agents, twenty-four chalcone derivatives including seven new compounds (13 – 17, 21 and 23) containing pyrrole moiety were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) suppression ability on IFN-γ/LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Results showed that none

Every part of the country has its signature dishes to be proud of and some of them are already being well-known to the world. This worthy treasure that has influenced foreign cultures such as Indian, Chinese, Arabs, and Thais still managed to attract the new generations to crave and become the regular consumer of the food. However, the efforts to p

CO2 capturing has become very significant option to reduce the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere and hence, minimizing environmental issues.Among solid CO2 sorbent, calcium oxide (CaO) is an attractive regenerable sorbent for CO2 capturing because of their reactivity and high CO2 absorption capacity. CaO alone suffers from rapid decay of CO2 adsorp

Morphology effect is one of the essential factors that influence the performance of electrochemical biosensors based on ZnO nanostructures. These nanostructures are characterized by anisotropic growth with different dimensionalities such as zerodimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional. More interestingly, when combining each dimension into

Much debate on e-hailing and ride-sharing has been focused on the legality of their services, with systematic investigation into the differences in the perception, attitude, behaviour, and working hours among the drivers has only been marginally explored. This study addresses this gap using data from a survey of 80 drivers (Taxi: n = 40; E-hailing:

Hazard perception is a complex process and a better understanding of the salient contributing factors for its failure could improve the existing hazard perception tests, policies, and training programmes. However, extant literature has not tackled this issue sufficiently. Using the predictive hazard perception paradigm, this study compares motorcyc

The use of robotic systems has been investigated over the past couple of decades in improving rehabilitation training of hemiplegic patients. In an ideal situation, the system should be able to detect the intention of the subject and assist them as needed in performing certain training tasks. In this study, we leverage on the information from the e
