In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the educational sector. However, little effort has been invested in reviewing its application particularly in higher learning institutions (HLIs). As such, this paper attempts to present a thorough literature review of the applications

The ultimate physical outcomes of compliance with halal requirements in Islamic production are high quality and safe products. The producers or suppliers, who claim that their products are halal but in actual fact are not halal, are subject to criminal sanctions under relevant laws in Malaysia. The question arises as to whether the producers of non

This study investigates the utility of a hybrid adsorption-membrane process for cake compressibility evaluation of biotreated palm oil mill effluent (BPOME). A low-cost empty fruit bunch (EFB) based powdered activated carbon (PAC) was employed for the upstream adsorption process with operation conditions of 60 g/L PAC dose, 68 min mixing time, and

This Biometric identification technology has been growing over the last years with increasing demand to improve the technology and provide a better security for the society. In this paper, a biometric identification system using electrocardiogram (ECG) has been introduced and to compete with the existing biometric identification systems such as fin

This paper surveys the current status of consumer protection law in Malaysia since the introduction of the CPA. Since consumer protection law covers a wide spectrum of both private and public law, the discussion only focuses on main areas of consumer interests and current issues affecting Malaysian consumers. The protection afforded by the CPA woul

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the conflict of two languages, one being the mother tongue of a country and the other a second language of a country i.e. Bahasa Melayu and English language, in the process of empowering the society with knowledge in order to stay competitive in this challenging and ever-changing world. In so doing, the pap

Polygalacturonase is one of the important enzymes used in various industries such as food, detergent, pharmaceutical, textile, pulp and paper. A novel liquid/liquid extraction process composed of surfactant and acetonitrile was employed for the first time to purify polygalacturonase from Durio zibethinus. The influences of different parameters such

A phytochemical investigation of the crude extracts of the bark and leaves of Calophyllum symingtonianum has resulted in the isolation of inophyllum D, inophyllum H, calanone, isocordato-oblongic acid, amentoflavone, carpachromene and lupenone. Their chemical structures were elucidated and confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. All flavonoids and cou
