Tuberculosis (TB) poses a grave predicament to the world as it is not merely a scientific challenge but a socio-economic burden as well. A prime cause of mortality in human due to an infectious disease; the malady and its cause, Mycobacterium tuberculosis have remained an enigma with many questions that remain unanswered. The ability of the pathoge

Electroless plating has been receiving a steady progress over the last decade on the modification of the surface properties of ceramic materials in order to produce composite coatings with unique characteristics for critical tribological systems. In this work, an electroless nickel deposition process was used to deposit nickel-phosphorous (Ni–P)

It is vital for organisations to manage enablers for value creation and delivery. Therefore, any matters that arise in managing enablers need to be addressed for the smooth running of an organisation operation. This research aims to highlight issues and challenges in managing enablers, in order to improve the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department’

For an assistive device to be usable in carrying out activities of daily living, it is highly important that the device be compact, light in weight and portable. It is even more important that the device be comfortable and safe to use. As different people have different hand sizes, the assistive hands must be designed considering the variety of han

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of jatropha curcas biodiesel on the corrosion behavior of surface modified low alloy steel after modification by TIG torch surface melting technique. The coating layer was produced by preplacement of 1 mg/mm2 TiC particulate into the surface of AISI 4340 steel and at heat input of 1344 J/mm using an elec

Governance is both a very new and very old subject in political science. It marks a return to the conception of political study organized around key words like constitution, government, polity, politics and other related themes. While ‘Good Governance’ agenda as introduced by Bretton Woods’ institutions according to the Washington Consensus i

The dispersion quality is the major concern in nano-composite development as it determines the homogeneity of the enhanced mechanical and tribological properties of the composite. This work study the morphology of aluminium powder in the CNTs-Al nanocomposite prepared with different weight percentage of CNT in aluminium matrix using powder metallur

Synchronous primary appendiceal tumor in colorectal cancer is very rare. Unexpected appendicular neoplasm diagnose intraoperatively pose a management dilemma. Case Summary: This is a 68 years old gentleman with underlying diabetes, hypertension and history of stroke 3 years ago with right hemiplegia presented with per rectal bleeding for 2 weeks. C

The burden of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, GERD in Asia-Pacific region is increasing. Objectives: To evaluate the manometric finding in erosive reflux esophagitis and its correlation with severity among patients who were seen at Surgical Department, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Kuantan. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study whic

The global demand for light weight energy savings and high-performance characteristic material has translated to the emergence of advanced composite materials. Presently, cast iron is used for brake rotor production, however, it has very high-density property which makes the brake disc heavier resulting to more fuel consumption and emission of carb
