The aspiration of Malaysian education system as mentioned in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 is to produce students who are highly critical and creative. Since teaching for higher order thinking was made explicit since 1989, a systematic evaluation of the adequacy and pitfalls of teaching for thinking programs was not done extensively. I

The phytochemical and biological activity of the leaves and stem barks of Garcinia griffithii have been investigated. Extraction and chromatographic purification of the leaves and stem barks extracts have successfully afforded five biflavonoids namely amento- 4’’-methylether (1), 3,8’’-binaringenin (2), morelloflavone (3), 3,8’’-binarin

Portable, low-cost platform and sensing system for detection and quantification of analytes are in high demand for various environmental monitoring applications especially for field work and humanitarian use. Quantifying analytes and relevant water-quality parameters in the field requires a device that can perform measurements with high sensitivity

Projected increases in pollutants and waste products warrants the need for biochemical sensor–based monitoring technologies for efficient protection, remediation, and restoration of the environment, and also addresses the issue of homeland security. Efforts to develop biochemical sensors for environmental monitoring in projects funded by the Mala

During the past decade, there have been numerous developments and improvements in electrochemical sensors for applications in biomedicine, water-quality monitoring, food technology, and agriculture, to name a few. Especially for the halal industry, these biosensors can provide a fast and convenient analytical method of halal verification for the fo

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess five biomarkers in sepsis: procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), paraoxonase (PON) and arylesterase (ARE) activities of PON-1 and white blood cell (WBC) count in order to derive a multi-biomarker risk stratification model and score to predict 30-day mortality in critically ill patients with s

OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic value of model-based insulin sensitivity (SI) as a new sepsis biomarker in critically ill patients, and compare its performance to classical inflammatory parameters. METHODS We monitored hourly SI levels in septic (n=19) and non-septic (n=19) critically ill patients in a 24-hour follow-up study. Patients with

First, I will talk about my experience leading a NASA nanosatellite project from 2012 to 2014. Second, I will discuss how the work at NASA has inspired my work at International Islamic University Malaysia and how I applied the technology in my research in Malaysia. I hope that sharing my experience can empower aspiring scientist-technologists like

A search is presented for supersymmetry in all-hadronic events with missing transverse momentum and tagged top quarks. The data sample was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Search regions are defined using the propert
