Trust is an important element for healthy human elationships, and it has notable implications for organizations and takeholder groups. This chapter explains how trust can promote effective communication and cooperation. It highlights the role of trust in human relationships as a solution to modern-day socioecological challenges specially as they re

The earth, in many areas is hardly reachable by the wheeled or tracked locomotion system. Thus, walking locomotion system is becoming a favourite option for mobile robot these days. This is because of the ability of walking locomotion to move on the rugged and unlevel terrains. However, to develop a walking locomotion gait for a robot is not a simp

Background: Dry eye (DE) is a multifactorial disorder that can influence tear production,functional visual acuity and ultimately increase the osmolarity of the tear film. The prevalence of DE ranges from 7% to 33% across the world. However, to the best of our knowledge, the prevalence range of DE in Arab countries is not precisely documented in the

Reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to analyze fucoxanthin content of two species of Malaysian brown seaweeds, Turbinaria turbinate andSargassum plagyophyllum. The fucoxanthin contents of T. turbinata, and S. plagyophyllum were 0.59 ± 0.08 and 0.71 ± 0.01 mg/g dry-weight, respectively. Ultraviolet spectrum of

يهدف هذا البحث إلى التعريف بقضية تشنيع المرأة على الرجل والطعن في قوامته، ودراسة هذه القضية من الناحية الاجتماعية في ضوء القرآن الكريم، والبحث في سبب هذه القوامة التي جعلها الشارع خاصة للرجل �

The microcellular polymer known as polyHIPE polymer (PHP), with modified physico-chemical characteristics, was developed as a cell matrix for the immobilization of the starch-degrading bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. Suspension of B. subtilis spores was inoculated into a synthesized PHP matrix which is chemically modified, and this PHP matrix was nam

Cellulases are a complex inducible enzyme that able to degrade cellulose. This study investigates the isolation of fungi producing cellulase from mouldy cocoa pod (Theobroma cacao L.). Screening of cellulolytic isolates by using a congo red test were carried out on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) agar plates. The production of cellulases by isolated-

The effects of moisture content and alkali treatment on cocoa butter extraction using supercritical fluid were studied. Ground cocoa nibs were examined at moisture contents of 1.95 %, 3.91 %, 5.87 %, 9.79 % and 17.64 % and the pH ofthe cocoa liquor was maintained at 5.0–5.9, 6.8–7.2 and 7.5–7.9. Cocoa butter was successfully extracted, using

Skin color is proved to be very useful technique for human body parts detection. The detection of human body parts using skin color has gained so much attention by many researchers in various applications especially in person tracking, search and rescue. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting human body parts using YCbCr color spaces in c

This paper presents a model for design and analysis of thin cantilever plate for flutter based micro generators. The analytical model formulates the flow induced response on the cantilever plates at various parameters and determines the frequency of flutter which is crucial in designing and selecting proper geometry for a flutter based micro genera
