Chlorella vulgaris, a coccoid green eukaryotic microalga, is a popular food supplement and has been marketed as a nutritional supplement in Asia. Despite numerous reports on the antioxidant property of this species, its toxic effect has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine the acute oral toxic effect of C. vulgaris o

In the present work, a proton-conducting hybrid solid biopolymer electrolytes (HSBEs) system was successfully prepared via the solution casting approached. The HSBEs comprised of CMC blended with kappa carrageenan and doped with NH4NO3. The HSBEs system was characterized to evaluate the structural and the proton conduction properties using FTIR, XR

The slacking behaviour or lack of participation from impaired patients during robotic rehabilitation therapy is one of the factors that slows down the recovery speed. The implementation of Assist As Needed (AAN) control law in the robotic assisted rehabilitation treatment may alleviate this problem and encourage the patients to be actively involved

This paper presents the design and development of a new low cost pick and place anthropomorphic robotic arm for the disabled and humanoid applications. Anthropomorphic robotic arms are the arms that resemble human arm in terms of size, appearance and functionality. The developed robotic arm is simple, light weight and has four degrees of freedom (D

Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in Malaysia have played a significant role as an alternative to the conventional system by the offering of diversified instruments based on Shariah principles. Besides offering products and services to clients, the overall operations of IFIs are distinguished from that of the conventional financial institutions

: Electric vehicles (EV) have been introduced in the recent years due to public awareness of the effect of gas emission from traditional cars and the extinction of petroleum natural resources. For charging EV, dynamic wireless charging is considered in this paper. This is because it is more convenient and saves charging time since it charges the el

This paper highlights the design, simulation and fabrication of an array of twelve integrated electrochemical – quartz crystal microbalance (IEQCM) sensors on a single substrate for liquid sensing. Integration of both measurement techniques is made possible by combining the three electrode electrochemical device with the top and bottom electrodes

Muscle atrophy in ageing is a multifactorial degenerative process impacted by cellular ageing biology, which includes oxidative stress. Chlorella vulgaris is a coccoid green eukaryotic microalga rich in antioxidants. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of C. vulgaris in ameliorating oxidative stress, thus elucidating its mechanism in

Background: Measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among hepatitis C patients is crucial in assisting health care providers to understand the complex psychosocial impact of disease on patients, thus facilitating a more patient-centred care. This study aims to measure the HRQOL among hepatitis C patients attending a tertiary hospital

THIS year's World Mental Health Awareness Month is celebrated this year with a slightly different atmosphere as the Covid-19 challenge has yet to end, coupled with the recent Covid third wave in Malaysia which started in line with the beginning of many programs organized for this month. The theme of this year's celebration, Mental Health fo
