Modelling and simulation are essential parts in the study of dynamic systems behaviours. In nuclear engineering, modelling and simulation are important to assess the expected results of an experiment before the actual experiment is conducted or in the design of nuclear facilities. In education, modelling can give insight into the dynamic of systems

Ionic conducting polymer thin films consist of poly (ethylene oxide)-chitosan blend, ammonium iodide NH4I and iodine crystal I2 were prepared by solution cast technique at room temperature. To improve the mechanical properties of the polymer thin film, chitosan (C6 H11 NO4) is added to the electrolyte, ammonium iodide (NH4I) is added to supply char

Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiation opens door of opportunities as well as challenges to Malaysia. The key concern is the involvement of the US which is feared to bring in many WTOPlus commitments in the agreement, even though the TPPA may help to provide significant market in terms of penetrating to the US huge market. Many prov

Being a party to Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiation opens door of opportunities as well as challenges to Malaysia. The key concern is the involvement of the US which is feared to bring in many WTO-Plus commitments in the agreement, even though the TPPA may help to provide significant market in terms of penetrating to the US huge

This study intends to examine whether work autonomy impacts academic staff members’ job satisfaction of state universities in Sri Lanka.

The multi-stage str

Processed food is widespread phenomenon all over the world. Some of these foods are ready to be eaten immediately after purchasing, while others need to be cooked before eating them. In order to make higher profits, companies and suppliers of these foods sometimes do not follow the proper production methods, or use unhealthy ingredients, or do not

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is known for its antitumor property. PDT uses a photosensitizer combined with light to kill cancer cells. Different to other non-surgical cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy which suppress immune system, it is suggested that PDT promotes an accumulation of neutrophils causing destruction of tumor cells

The neo-classical secularist school sees man as an economic material object whose sole objective is to maximize his unlimited worldly Shahwah. He has no control over his Shahwah. His value is measured by his ability to convert that Shahwah into material unlimited wants. He has no naÎÊb in Ókhirah. On the other hand, the Qur’Én looks at Shahwa

This chapter will discuss the general strategies of cloning recombinant enzymes from identifying a suitable DNA template to choosing the correct host expression system. However, there is no standard operating procedure for cloning a recombinant enzyme. The best strategies should be based on the researcher’s creativity and experiences.ixContents 1

Stem bromelain is a plant protease with a number of industrial and therapeutic applications. This study investigated the functional properties of commercial bromelain and recombinant bromelain (expressed in E. coli BL 21-AI). In vitro cytotoxicity assays were conducted to evaluate the effect of both bromelains on tumour cell lines (murine melanoma
