The advancements made to digital technology have enabled academic libraries today to digitize their collections as a continuing process of improving their services to the academic community. Various factors determine whether a library should embark on a digitization project and the extent of the digitization. These include the policy of the institu

Surface acoustic wave mediated transductions have been widely used in the sensors and actuators applications. In this study, a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SHSAW) was used for the detection of food pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E.coli O157:H7), a dangerous strain among 225 E. coli unique serotypes. A few cells of this bacterium ar

Introduction: The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has become prevalent in many countries including Malaysia. Use of e-cigarettes has generated a lot of debates on its health effects and is a major public health concern. This study aimed to examine the use of e-cigarettes among Malaysian male adults aged 18 years and above in 2011 and 20

Magnetic field has been widely explored for its benefit towards todays development. In the early stage, the main concern was to develop a device that can detect magnetic field. Such device is called magnetometer. The advancement of technology has push the boundary even further, making a portable and robust magnetometer. Although the miniaturization

E. coli DH5α harbouring pET28a+ plasmid vector was lysed by alkaline lysis and the clarified plasmid solutions were subjected to ultrafiltration experiments using two types of ultrafiltration membrane; i.e., cellulose generated (Ultracel) and polyethersulfome PES (Biomax). Transmembrane pressures (TMP) through vacuum suction of 0.1 to 0.7 bar were

Military systems, outer space exploration and even in medical diagnosis and treatment used magnetic field detection. Low magnetic field detection is particularly important in tracking of magnetic. Traditional magnetometer tends to be bulky that hinders its inclusion into micro-scaled environment. This concern has brought the magnetometer into the t

Documentary film is a language input which is based on writing skills since it consists of the introduction to subject, presentation of ideas, and conclusion of subject. Many studies have highlighted the linguistic, informational, and pedagogical purposes of documentary film in language classrooms as the processing of written texts is required befo

Close friendship is a crucial and unique interpersonal tie that can survive a lifetime. Maintaining such friendships at a satisfactory level, even with the aid of social networking websites (SNS) such as Facebook, can be a challenging process. Previous research has shown that relationship satisfaction among close friends depends both upon relations

A biological method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles through marine diatom Amphora sp. Antimicrobial efficacy test against different pathogenic bacteria were performed through synthesized silver nanoparticles. The physio-chemical properties of synthesized silver nanoparticles were studied using analytical techniques such as UV-Vis sp
