Production of biogas is based on anaerobic digestion of different renewable raw materials including human, animal, agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastes. In addition to methane content, biogas contains carbon dioxide along with water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and depending on the raw materials siloxane can be present. Thus, differe

Language planning is a deliberate effort to influence the function, structure, or acquisition of languages or language variety within a speech community. It is often associated with government planning, but is also used by a variety of non-governmental organizations, such as grass-roots organizations and even individuals. The goals of language plan

cDNA Microarray is a powerful tool of technology to study gene expression. The technique allows simultaneous analysis on thousands of gene expression in a single assay compared to traditional molecular biology tools which generally allow only single gene expression at a time. This high throughput technology has been applied in diversified researche

Different agricultural residues were considered in this study for their ability to support cellulolytic enzyme production by Aspergillus niger. A total of eleven agricultural residues including finger millet hulls, sorghum hulls, soybean hulls, groundnut husk, banana peels, corn stalk, cassava peels, sugarcane bagasse, saw dust, rice straw and shea

Objective: To assess the prevalence of the arterial variations in the popliteal regions and the symmetrical characteristic of the popliteal artery branching patterns in both knees of all subjects. Methodology: 77 subjects (154 knees) were prospectively studied using colour Doppler ultrasonography in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. No su

Postpartum care in the period after childbirth is very crucial not solely for survival but for the future of mothers and newborn babies. In Malaysia, there are several traditional postpartum care practices normally practiced by mothers and different states adopted different ways to perform those practices.

This paper aims to fill an apparent dearth of empirical studies that compare the efficiency of Islamic banks in Malaysia during their operation as Islamic windows and later transformation to full-fledged Islamic banks. Data obtained from the annual financial reports of the sampled banks is analyzed using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) via DEAP

Wire electro-discharges machining (WEDM) is a variant of electro-discharge machining (EDM) based method for non-contact machining that uses wire as the machining tool. Micro-EDMing/micro-WEDMing (where discharge energy is very low and tool size in micrometer range) operation of silicon (Si) can achieve features with very complex shapes, which have

This paper investigates the dynamic causal linkages in the daily returns among five ASEAN Shariahcompliant indices (such as, FTSEMY index, MSSNGIL index, JAKSEIS index, MSTHFIL index and MSPHISL index) through the application of the standard time series techniques. Essentially, the purpose of this research is to identify the extent of linkages of I
