There was a controversy on the claimed usage of plastic bags and straws which were intentionally added in the frying oil just to make fried foods crunchier. Thus, the present study was aimed to assess the feasibility of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) coupled with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in detecting the added plastics in the fry

This paper presents a novel design, optimization and analysis of capacitive radio frequency (RF) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch. The design incorporates a novel membrane and beams’ structure with two short high-impedance transmission-line (T-line) sections added on either side of the switch (namely T-match switch) to improve its RF

Childhood asthma is known to cause heavy economic burden due to increased hospital visits and prolonged hospital care due to its exacerbations. Despite the advancement of in-hospital management to control asthma, poor compliance has been an astounding problem in the management of the acute asthma attack. An 8-year-old boy, who was known as persiste

This research aims at providing an intellectual study to justify or refute the accusation that says,“Islam established its empire by sword and its system of government was undemocratic, but purely based on autocracy and theocracy”,by studyingthe social and political system of Arabs before and after Islam; how did Islam influence their system of

There are natural forces of circumstances that control human system; inclination of change in man is very high and quick, however, occurrence of change has become constant and unchanging nature of life. In fact, that has become permanent phenomenon in human society. What are the components that changes in man’s life, behavior and characters, dogm

The objectives of this study are to optimize the extraction of fat from bambangan kernel using response surface methodology and to determine its antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents (TPC). Bambangan kernel was also investigated to determine proximate and amino acids in a pursuit to identify an innovative fruit which could be exploited

Knowing how vulnerable an organisation or a state towards cyberattacks, is referred to as Cyber security Index or Maturity Level. Such an index is important to evaluate the organisation's level of vulnerability to cyber threats. Various cyber security models are initiated and applied across the globe as tools towards measuring the mentioned ind

A growing trend exerted by current users in accessing sensitive data and performing critical data exchanges predominantly highlights the proliferation usage of mobile phone devices by users for accessibility. There exists a demand for a security solution capable of thwarting the existing threats while offering extended support, at the same time con

This study aimed to investigate the chemical constituents from Alphonsea cylindrica as well as their cytotoxic and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities. The chemical compounds were isolated and purified by various chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated via modern spectroscopic techniques including NMR, MS, IR, UV and comp

This study explains the experience in the consumption of cosmos candatus kunth (Ulam Raja) planted at the SDG IIUM KENMS vegetable garden. The project was started in April 2019 and officiated by Honourable Rector in August 2019. After a few times consuming ulam raja as part of lunch meals, a few colleagues have experienced some benefit. They felt e
