In the present work, amorphous bio-based polymer electrolytes (BBPEs) using alginate polymer as a matrix host and doped with varying amounts of ammonium iodide (NH4I) have been developed via the solution casting technique. The physicochemical properties of alginate-NH4I BBPEs were evaluated by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micros

The decrease of surface area is a critical concern for any type of digital circuit. For example, the VLSI approach is used to lower the chip's size, which increases both the device's density and its performance. When it comes to digital circuits, a full adder circuit is a crucial part of any arithmetic processor. A computer, or any other ty

Background: Technology-based intervention showed a promising approach to health promotion strategies. There had been limited knowledge of the existing program for technology-based intervention in promoting foot care and dietary behavior modification. Thus, a mobile app was developed as an alternative strategy for promoting foot care and dietary beh

Herbal medicines (HMs) are regarded as one of the traditional medicines in health care to prevent and treat some diseases. Some herbal components such as turmeric and ginger are used as HMs, therefore the identification and confirmation of herbal use are very necessary.

Hepatic steatosis is a common feature of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). It is caused directly by the virus (genotype 3)or host metabolic factors. We analyzed liver biopsy results among all patients selected for the treatment. Methods: We retrospectively looked into CHC patients selected for treatment from 2005 - 2007,Kuantan Hospital, Malaysia. Fifteen

The present tort system has been criticised as not being a suitable mechanism for compensating victims of medical negligence.

By the year 2020, Malaysia aspires to become a fully developed nation. In order to realize this vision, Malaysia needs to address nine strategic challenges identified by the former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. The challenges are: (1) Establishing a united Malaysian nation, (2) Creating a psychologically liberated, secure,

The decision of the Federal Court of Malaysia in abandoning the Bolam principle in relation to doctor's duty to disclose risks has clearly marked the decline of judicial deference to medical opinion in medical negligence litigation in Malaysia. It is undeniable that the Bolam principle has acted as a gatekeeper to the number of claims against m

The fixed-pitch straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is one of the simplest types of wind turbine. One of the main challenges of wide spread application of the smaller-capacity SB-VAWT is to design and develop it in a cost-effective manner. The overall cost of the SB-VAWT will mainly depend on judicious choice of multiple design par
