Pesticides are widely used in the agricultural sector and other settings. In Malaysia organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides are commonly used to control mosquito-borne disease. This project aims to do three things: assess the exposure to pesticides of a group of workers who mix and spray pesticides to con-trol the mosquito population in Malaysi

The aim of the study is to examine industrial perspective on journalism education curriculum in Malaysia. Curriculum plays an important role in providing quality education for students. This study focuses on the curriculum aspect of journalism education. Journalism is a dynamic field that integrates industrial experience and fundamental knowledge g

This research paper investigates the dynamic linkages among four selected equity markets from Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) members. The four countries comprised the proposed Muslim BRICS called SAMI: Saudi Arabia, Ankara (Turkey), Malaysia and Indonesia. The study explores the short and long run linkages between these stock markets

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the main risk factor for developing colorectal cancer which is common in patients of all ages. 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), structurally related to the salicylates, is highly active in the treatment of IBD with minor side effects. In this study, the synthesis of galactose and fructose esters of 5-ASA was planne

At childbirth (parturition), zinc (Zn) homeostasis in cord blood (CB) can be affected by a number of factors: Zn in maternal blood, parturition related stress as well as metallothionein (MT). Both Zn and stress are known inducers of MT which is primarily involved in Zn homeostasis. This study analyzed Zn concentration [Zn], in CB components and MT-

In this paper, a characterization and comparison between the effects of Electron irradiation on low noise amplifiers (LNAs) implemented in a Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) and Gallium-Arsenide (GaAs) HBT technologies, respectively, was carried out. Previous studies [1] have shown that the properties of SiGe and GaA

This study focuses on the assessment of rare earth elements (REEs) in rocky shore ecosystem along west coast region of Peninsular Malaysia coastal waters, describing their partitioning in selected body part of Saccostrea cucullata and deliberating on interspatial variability. Samples were digested using Teflon Bomb technique and concentrations of 1

Antifungal peptides have been successfully extracted from whole body larvae of Zophobas morio (Fabricius) by using acidified isopropanol. To ensure that the extraction is cost effective for maximum yield, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using a Central Composite Design (CCD) strategy was adopted to optimize the extraction process parameters. The

Battery cell balancing in every electrical component such as home electronic equipment and electric vehicle is very important to extend battery run time which is simplified known as battery life. The underlying solution to equalize the balance of cell voltage and SOC between the cells when they are in complete charge. In order to control and extend
