Volumetric efficiency is one of the important parameters which affect the performance of four-stroke engines. This study examines the effect of resonators on the volumetric efficiency over a wide range of engine speed. An intake system with and without resonator are simulated by using GT-POWER software. Intake systems with three configurations of r

Herb Phyllanthus niruri (P. niruri) is known to have various pharmacological functions including anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive and also anti-diabetic properties. In this research, the proteomic part of P. niruri was studied to determine the bioactive peptides that responsible for specific characteristics. Total soluble p

Nowadays, there are number of product innovations in Islamic capital market instruments particularly in Sukuk using the equity based contract; musharakah, mudharabah and wakalah bi al istithmar. In Islamic parameter of these contracts, there shall be no determination of return or possible arrangement that may lead to guaranteeing the return of any

In construction contracts, it is a pre-requisite for Contractors to secure insurances to cover construction works related risks. Due to the interest and demand to apply Shariah compliance products in business transactions, with the advent of takaful and its products that cover areas including risks in construction works, it is observed that more Co

Electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) is a valuable tool for real time monitoring of cell behavior such as attachment, mobility, and growth. To employ ECIS, the cells need to attach, spread and proliferate on the sensor in the presence of adhesion-promoting protein that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the cells. For cell attac

Alkaline niobate mainly potassium sodium niobate, (KxNa1-x) NbO3 (abreviated as KNN) has long attracted attention as piezoelectric materials as its high Curie temperature (Tc) and piezoelectric properties. The volatility of alkaline element (K, Na) is, however detrimental to the stoichiometry of KNN, contributing to the failure to achieve high-dens

This paper proposed an Artificial Immune System (AIS) approach using the Clonal Selection Based Algorithms (CSA) to analyze the pattern recognition capability of the paddy trend, and to predict the paddy production based on climate change effects. Climate factors and paddy production are used as input parameters. High percentage of accuracy ranges

Diverse persuasive applications that aim for behavioural changes have been developed. However, the method in which particular persuasive design principles are chosen over others remains unclear. Meanwhile, the use of socio-ecological model has been widely utilized in clinical research, as a basis to understand the factors in the entire ecological s

Arborinine is an acridone alkaloid found exclusively in Rutacae family has showed cytotoxic potency against various cancer cell lines. The aims of this study were to isolate and identify arborinine from local G. pentapylla (Retz. D) and to determine its cytotoxicity activity on human mammary gland adenocarcinoma, MCF 7 cell line. The leaves of G. p
