Obesity is an emerging public health threat in the elderly population in developing countries. Hence, the Third National Health and Morbidity Survey has assessed 4746 individuals aged 60 years and older recruited through a household survey to determine the prevalence of adiposity using body mass index and waist circumference. The national's pre

Saponin has various types; it can be bond with glycosides that form soapy lathers when mixed and agitated with water, and have been used to treat diabetes; liver, hepatitis, cardiovascular as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and physical stress. In this study describe of saponins compound in Binahong, one of medicinal plant investigated from

On March 11th 2011, the whole world was taken aback by another tragic experience of Tsunami triggered by a magnitude 9.8 earthquake in Japan. Just few days after that, on March 25th 2011, another earthquake of magnitude 6.8 hit Myanmar deaths and destructions. Despite the loss incurred on properties and human being, available data show that relativ

With the rapid growth of wireless technologies and increasing number of mobile digital devices, mobility has been an important element on the Internet. NEMO Basic Support, designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to provide network mobility, is not efficient to offer low latency handoff in the case of nested mobile networks because it

As the Internet becomes more and more accessible, claims for mobility are not limited anymore to single hosts. Supporting networks’ roaming that move as one entity is required in order to enable the transparency of Internet in mobile platforms, like cars, trains, planes, buses, etc. To accomplish this, NEMO Basic Support has been proposed and dev

The essential of planning and management of coastal areas has been widely accepted globally for nearly 40 years. However, the coastal policies, strategies and programmes are not extensively incorporated in the framework of Malaysian land use planning system. As such, this paper looks into the scenario of the planning and managing of coastal land us

Liquid cargo contained in a partially filled tank is known to experience sloshing movement when subjected to maneuvering disturbances. Large amplitude of liquid slosh can be induced within a partially filled road tank vehicle under mild to severe maneuvers, within may severely affect the structural integrity of the tank. A comprehensive experimenta

In this research, Barre granites are subjected to localized impacts of spherical projectiles with density variation. Three kinds of projectiles have been used, namely chrome steel, copper 102 and pure lead. The amount of damage is studied on both brittle target as well as ductile projectile. The result shows significance of intact time for free edg

This paper investigates the institution of neutrality from the perspective of Siyar, “Islamic International Law.” It analyses relevant views of contemporary Muslim scholars, particularly with reference to the division between the “abodes of Islam” (dar al-islam) and the “abode of disbelief”(dar al-kufr), and their discussion on a third

Dynamic modeling and identification of an internal combustion engine (ICE) model is presented in this paper. Initially, an analytical model of an internal combustion engine simulated within SIMULINK environment is excited by pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) input. This random signals input is chosen to excite the dynamic behavior of the system o
