The Malaysian Cohort study was initiated in 2005 by the Malaysian government. The topdown approach to this population-based cohort study ensured the allocation of sufficient funding for the project which aimed to recruit 100 000 individuals aged 35–70 years. Participants were recruited from rural and urban areas as well as from various socioecono

Microbial conversion of organic residues into resource often involves growth and development via modification of complex sugars inherent in the residues. Solid state bioconversion (SSB) process involving mixed culture of white rot fungi was conducted. Product synthesis by the microorganisms and bio-degradation of fruit peels' macromolecules wer

Viable and economical source of fish feed ingredients remained one of most important factors for a successful and profitable fish production for peasant farmers and industries. Solid state bioconversion (SSB) involving Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) was conducted to enrich seaweed with protein. Optimization of processing parameters

Demand for surfactant chemicals for household cleaning products, personal care sectors, agriculture, food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries is steadily increasing. According to 2013 Acmite Market Intelligence report [1], the world markets of surfactants reached US$26.8 billion in 2012, experiencing 10% increase since 2010. These figures

Petroleum based packaging materials has raised environmental concerns due to its non-environmentally friendly degradation. Conventional plastic takes a long time to degrade and remains in the waste dump. Since then, attention to biodegradable plastics has been heightened for its greener degradation. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a renewable polymer with

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection (NTM)may mimic a tuberculosis infection and could be a cause in patients with a chronic cough in primary care setting. The infrequency of NTH infection in a pulmonary tuberculosis infection can pose a dilemma in management.1NA Jamani,2Naimuddin Azih 1Dept. of Family Medicine, Kulliyyah of Medicine, Interna?ona

Viable and economical source of fish feed ingredients remained one of most important factors for a successful and profitable fish production for peasant farmers and large scale producers. The process conditions necessary for solid state bioconversion (SSB) of seaweed for synthesis of protein was explored in this study. Phanerochaete chrysosporium (

Each participant will be able to identify and perform chocking management for the victim in emergency situation at anywhere.

Recently, there has been an increasing interest on bridging simulation and performance due rising concerns on the observed discrepancy or gap between green building targeted performance and the actual performance of buildings-in-use, especially in terms of energy performance in buildings. As energy is the primary component of carbon emission from b

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of Nigerian insurance companies using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Because of the unavailability of the required data, the study is limited to ten Nigerian insurance companies for the period of five years from 2008 to 2012. The input employed were commission expenses and managemen
