Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been attracted by the researchers for their extraordinary properties and wide applications in various fields. Among numerous types of CNTs, the horizontally aligned CNTs (HACNTs) has shown many advantages due to its nano-structural features and proper arrangements. HACNTs open new opportunity in the field of microwave,

Objective: The main aim of the survey was to assess the respondent’s opinion on the factors influencing the generation of e-waste and its impact on public health in Malaysia. Methods: The research project involved a cross-sectional survey of International Islamic University’s students conducted in 2017 at Kuantan campus in the Pahang state, Mal

Optical resolvers are helpful for a wide variety of application, for example, automation and manufacturing industries. Different kinds of optical resolvers are available based on different material properties. In this paper, a prototype of a single Degree of Freedom optical resolver for measuring the angle of rotation is proposed. The device is bas

Impalement injuries of the oropharynx are not uncommon in children. Young children, particularly less than 5 years of age, are most involved in these types of injuries. Although most of these injuries can be managed in an outpatient setting with uneventful healing and minimal scarring, some may develop rare, critical complications. In this lecture,

A growing trend towards a new type of alternative device where cigarette smokers use electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) to receive nicotine is a concern to global health. Questions have been raised about the safety of the prolonged used of e-cigarette as it claims as the system to substitute nicotine from tobacco. However, to date there has been li

Myrmecodia pendens (M. pendens) or also known as Sarang semut is an epiphytic plant which might have potential as a new source of alternative therapeutic agent. Recently, it is reported that M. pendens can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa and MCM- B2 cell lines. We report here for the first time the anti-cancer potential of M. pendens on oral canc

Online algorithms are used in a variety of situations such as forex trading, cache replacement, and job scheduling etc. In an online problem, the algorithms is presented with a sequence on input in a serial fashion such that the algorithm does not have knowledge about the future inputs. For instance, in case of forex, the online algorithm is presen

The classical uni-directional conversion algorithms are based on the assumption that prices are arbitrarily chosen from the fixed price interval[m, M] where m and M represent the estimated lower and upper bounds of possible prices 0<m<M. The estimated interval is erroneous and no attempts are made by the algorithms to update the erroneous e

The harmful algal bloom (HABs) phenomena affects human health, ecosystems, fishing, and tourism industries. In a single occasion, the loss due to HABs can reach thousands of Ringgit Malaysia. In this study, a chitosan-silica composite (RHA-CHi) was synthesized via sol-gel technique for the mitigation of Alexandrium tamiyavanichii, a toxic HAB speci

The software development lifecycle defines a systematic way of developing good quality software to meet customer expectations about scope, time and budget. Each phase of this development lifecycle is distinct and rigorous which defines an independent body-of-knowledge within the domain of software engineering. Consequently, each phase of developmen
