Eurycoma longifolia is one of the plants used to enhanced male reproductive functions but little is known for its effect on the female reproductive system and functions. Therefore this work is performed to study the effects of standardized extract of Eurycoma longifolia, TAF 273, on oestrous cycle and some reproductive functionality in rats. Female

Coral recruitment is the key determinant to preserve coral reef system. This study was conducted in three different stations on Bidong Island. The artificial substrates mounted in frames and deployed horizontally near the coral reef community. The settlement plates were allowed to be colonized for six month periods from April until October 2014. Th

This paper aims to analyze the method of Qur’anic hermeneutic(al-ta’wil)as set forth by Muhammad Asad in his magnum opus, The Message of the Qur’an. Its objective is to study the underlying method he crafted in the commentary and the influence it projected in the Muslim world. The study of Muhammad Asad’s method is crucial to gain an unders

We present seeing measurements of Langkawi National Observatory during the period from 2014 May 6 to 2015 March 26. The measurements were carried out with Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) of STV and Alcor system. The median seeing was measured to be best at 0.8 arcseconds in May 2014 with STV system and 0.5 arcseconds in December 2015 with

This study examines audit report lag as one of the mechanisms to measure timeliness of financial reporting. The convergence of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) might challenge the auditors to issue their listed clients’ audited financial statements on time. The presence of indu

It is a common knowledge that auditors often being offered a position in their clients’ firms. However, following the collapse of Enron in 2001 along with other infamous financial scandals like Global Crossing and Waste Management in the US, the accounting profession has been brought into sharp focus particularly regarding issues that may affect

The title compound, Ph3(PhCH2)P+ Cl-·H2O, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted synthesis of a silver dithiocarbamate complex using benzyltriphenyl- phosphonium as the counter-ion. The asymmetric unit consists of a phosphonium cation and a chloride anion, and a water molecule of crystallization. In the crystal, the chloride i

Natural medicinal products (NMPs)based especially on herbs and various plants are enjoying growing popularity. The notion that natural ingredients would have less side effects compared to conventional allopathic medicines appear to be the driving factor for the increasing number of NMPs in the market. However, the quality of active ingredients may

I trust that Kee Thuan Chye would approve it if I were to assert that Malaysian politics, at present, particularly since the publication of his last book which I reviewed in this journal, is marked by a dizzying increase in political bullshitting. Kee likes the word bullshit, even though the book under review, Can We Save Malaysia, Please!, does no

This paper presents a steady two-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretched sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink. The governing equations that govern the fluid flow and heat transfer are solved using the Keller-box method after being reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by a si
