Malaysian University Examination Test (MUET) is one of the English proficiency tests required for students who want to pursue a degree at Malaysian public universities. This test consists of four skill tests, namely listening, reading, speaking, and writing. However, over the past several years, many students who sit for the exam achieved an incred

Momordica charantia or bitter melon (Cucurbitaceae) is a widely consumed edible fruit with strong antioxidant properties. Due to these properties, it has been commercialised by the natural product industries as a coadjutant in the treatment of various ailments attributable to the deleterious effects of oxidants. The present work aimed to evaluate t

Approximately 18% of pregnant women are colonized with Group B streptococcus (GBS), which are βhemolytic, gram-positive bacteria. GBS conversion from the asymptomatic commensal in the vagina to an invasive pathogen predisposes the pregnant women to ascending intrauterine infection that tiggers preterm birth and initiate fetal and neonatal infectio

Renewable energy should reach its maximum usage capacity, around 20%, by 2025, as laid out by the Malaysian government to achieve the seventh Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): Affordable and clean energy. Many actions have been implemented to support the idea, including the development of solar energy panels in large photovoltaic installation. H

The power point slides is prepared based on the needs and input required by the schools counselors all over Pahang. It is a compilation of 4 main topics delivered during the workshop conducted on 2

Fingerprints are a popular method of biometric based authentication. However, methods currently in use are susceptible to being bypass through the use of forgeries of the fingerprint pattern. Measuring the epidermal thickness of the fingerprint is a solution to the issue, as there are no current ways for a third-party to precisely replicate the thi

Many developed countries have focused on generating energy from the earth’s resources, which is a key input for human wellbeing, social growth, economic progress and higher living standards. Biodiesel is a clean-burning, easy-tomake diesel made from fats or oils. Biodiesel can be made from either vegetable oil or animal fats, and it works in any

3D printing technology has been developed to produce prototype and end used parts. The demand is increasing recently making this technology a popular choice for the industry especially using fused deposition modeling (FDM) method. A common material used for this FDM technology is polylactic acid (PLA) as it is sustainable, low cost, and compatible

3D printing technology has become a favored alternative in fabricating parts due to its flexibility in product customization. Recently, an abundant number of studies have been conducted to improve the overall quality of the 3D printed parts. One of the essential qualities is to provide mechanical properties that fulfill the functionality of the fin

Tribological performance of bearing steels through the use of nano-additive oil lubrication and the hard-coated surfaces was studied. Hard coatings like DLC, TiAlN and CrN were deposited onto the bearing steels using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technique. The tribological experiment was performed in accordance to ASTM G77 test method by using
