A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the capabilities of differential spoiler setting (DSS) in modifying the span-wise wing load and reducing hazard of wake vortices imposed on a following aircraft. Numerical simulations were carried out on a scaled, half-model aircraft under high lift configuration (HLC) condition for two outboard

In this study, a dynamic screening strategy is proposed to discriminate subjects with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) from healthy controls. The ASD is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts normal patterns of connectivity between the brain regions. Therefore, the potential use of such abnormality for autism screening is investigat

The environment of the Straits of Malacca receives pollution as a result of various industrial and anthropogenic sources, making systematic studies crucial in determining the prevailing water quality. Present study concerns concentrations of natural radionuclides and heavy metals in marine fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) collected from the Straits of

Euphyllidae corals are among the most beautiful corals that have been exploited for the aquarium trade all over the world. In Malaysia, the information on these coral species particularly on the diversity and genetic variation is not fully documented. Realizing to this matter, the diversity and distribution of Euphylllidae corals were investigated

Feeding difficulties and malnutrition are common phenomena in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients, locked in patients and people with upper limb disability. Feeding is often time consuming, unpleasant, and may result in choking or asphyxiation. Nowadays, robotic aids are applied to assist these people for eating. However, assistive robots that r

The aims of this study are to find the best Time Series model for forecasting the Consumer Price Index (CPI). To find the best model, first we evaluate the stationary of the data by using time series plot, Autocorrelation Function (ACF), and Unit root Test. Then the Time Series model was found by using ACF and Partial Autocorrelations Function (PAC

The investigation of the influence of machining parameters on delamination at exit of drilled holes after drilling into CFRP composite using 4 mm-diameter 2-fluted carbide drills coated diamond is present in this paper. The delamination at tool exit was analyzed in terms of delamination factor on the basis of analysis of variance (ANOVA) of Central

Cosmos caudatus (“Ulam Raja” in Malaysia) is a plant used in Malaysia to enhance vitality and has been studied for its antidiabetic activity. This study focused on the evaluation of the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of different ethanolic extracts of C. caudatus. Six series of samples extracted with water, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% etha

Diabetes mellitus type-2 prevalence is increasing rapidly worldwide. It is resulted from the combination of impaired insulin secretion with reduced insulin sensitivity of the target tissues. The objective of this study is to evaluate the differences of metobolites profile in the serum of rats in different conditions (healthy, diabetes, Cosmos cauda

Nature is a huge library for bioactive compounds. The challenge of natural chemists is to identify as much as possible the bioactive compounds and to study their mode of action to treat the diseases. This work is not easy due to the complexity of the compounds and limitation of time and budget. Lead finding with bioassay guided fractionation develo
