There have been debates and discussions on the influence of Greek on Arabic. Modern historians such as Ahmad Amīn in his book Öuha al-Islām(1969) say that Hunain bin Ishāķ(260H/873A.D) ( J.Ruska,1980:134) went to Rome to learn Greek and then came back to Başrah to learn from Khalīl (Amīn Ahmād, 1978:v.1:313). This idea is strongly supporte

This review explores the significance of patient safety in the two ASEAN nations of Thailand and Malaysia. It discusses the implications of upholding patient safety in the context of health care and also for developing medical tourism in both the countries. The relevance of human factors in patient safety is examined from the multi-level perspectiv

This article discusses the fundamentals and benefits of microwave hybrid heating. High dielectric loss materials can be processed using direct microwave heating, whereas low dielectric loss materials can only be process using microwave through microwave hybrid heating. It was shown that it is possible to virtually process any type of materials via

Restrictions in splicing systems have been widely investigated in DNA computing in order to overcome the limitations of the generative power of splicing systems. In weighted splicing system, weights from the selected weighting spaces are used as one of the restrictions in splicing systems, which are associated to the axioms of the splicing systems.

Microscopic bubbles with diameter of 1 ~ 50 μm are generally called microbubbles and have different behaviors from ordinary bubbles. For example, very long stagnation, pressurized interior gas due to surface tension and free radical generation under water are characteristics of microbubbles. In cross-flow filtration of river water with UF membrane

Cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) is easily prepared from crude enzyme and has many advantagesto the environment and it is considered as an economic method in the context of industrial biocatalysiscompared to free enzyme. In this work, a highly active and stable CLEA-lipase from cocoa pod husk (CPH)which is a by-product after removal of cocoa be

An analysis on voltage transfer characteristic of magnetically coupled sandwich inductor is presented. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of induced voltage characteristics on the gain of the transferred magnetic energy at various coil thicknesses. The induced voltage characteristics play an important factor in determining the efficie

An alternative osteo-healing formulation with osteo-healing properties was formulated by combining gentamicin and Nigella sativa (N. sativa) oil in an emulsion to reduce gentamicin toxicity effect over prolonged use in osteo-infection treatment. This work aims to test the aqueous solubility and physicochemical properties of the emulsion. Four emuls

Scientific breakthroughs have to some extent helped man’s understanding of the laws of nature. However, scientific breakthroughs have raised some philosophical and moral concerns among ethicists as well as scientists. This is because, while scientific breakthroughs are worthwhile, nevertheless, in the prospect of putting scientific achievements i

Tetrathionate hydrolase produced by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been known to be the enzyme responsible in the devulcanization of used rubber prior to recycling. The aim of this study was to statistically obtain a model that would yield an optimized media concentrations for the best production of this bacterial enzyme. One-factor-at-a-time (OFAT)
