In this paper, we present a reliable new algorithm based on the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) to determine the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with power-law temperature dependent surface heat flux. The solution of the boundary-value problems (BVP) based on the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) presented earlier is corr

Very little data have been published concerning this in the Malaysian population. The aim of this study was to ascertain the risk factors for the development of early post-traumati

Carvedilol, a non selective β blocking drug under the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II, is widely used in the treatment of hypertension. Solubility of this drug is very low which affects in low dissolution rate and in turn affect the bioavailability of this drug following oral administration. The micronization of drug is one

Protein phosphatase inhibition assay (PPIA), Neuroblastoma cell-based assay (Neuro-2a CBA)and LC-MS/MS analysis revealed for the first time the production of okadaic acid (OA) by a Prorocentrum rhathymum strain. Low amounts of OA were detected by LC-MS/MS analysis.Inhibition of PP2A activity and a weak toxicity to the Neuro-2a CBA were also observe

In this paper, we present a novel method of analyzing retinal vasculature using Fourier Fractal Dimension to extract the complexity of the retinal vasculature enhanced at different wavelet scales. Logistic regression was used as a fusion method to model the classifier for 5-year stroke prediction. The efficacy of this technique has been tested usin

This book offers a jurisprudential exposition of the acts of worship in Islam based on a comparative analysis of the Muslim jurists` views particularly of the Sunni Schools of Islamic legal thought.
