The dramatic drop in equipment pricing, better services and efficiency of small satellite candidate is an interesting communication technology alternative for the deployment of Smart Grid (SG). The use of commercial-off-theshelf (COTS) components and the ongoing miniaturiza-tion of several technologies have already led to scattered instance of miss

The link between food insecurity and nutritional status has been studied comprehensively, but the results were mixed depending on the data source and subpopulation involved. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of household food insecurity and nutritional status among secondary school children in Kuantan, Pahang. Data were o

Test first is promoted in test driven development method as one of an effective Agile manifesto in producing a better quality applications. Several research have been conducted in education settings and among industrial practitioners in order to investigate the test first contribution in producing better quality software compared to a traditional a

Introduction: Infections due to carbapenemase‑producing Enterobacteriaceae have been increasingly reported worldwide and are causing significant health concerns. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of New Delhi Metallo‑beta‑lactamase (NDM) carbapenemase‑producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Enterobacteriaceae isolates from Hospita

Shifting from traditional classroom teaching to interactive-learning methods represents an essential component of current thinking in dental education. Considering this trend, an interactive workshop was conducted as part of the scheduled smoking-cessation activity in the dental curriculum. The objective of this study was to develop, implement, and

Evidence suggests that several genes; including Myo1H, play an important role in the etiology of Class III malocclusion. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in marker rs10850110 (locus 12q24.11) within Myo1H gene has been associated with the incidence of mandibular prognathism (MP). MYO1H is a class 1 myosin which has been implicated in various mo

A new bioenzymatic glucose biosensor for selective and sensitive detection of glucose was developed by the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) onto selenium nanoparticle-mesoporous silica composite (MCM-41) matrix and then prepared as a carbon paste electrode (CPE). Cyclic voltammetry was employed to probe the catalytic behavior of the biosenso

Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people globally, and is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose concentration to manage the disease. A non-invasive way of glucose monitoring using biosensor has emerged as an alternative technique. This work describes a contemporary approach of

Biocatalyst in the form of enzymes is widely used in diverse applications. Unfortunately, free enzymes are quite unstable and may undergo denaturation even under mild conditions, thus hampering their usefulness, and this may lead to higher cost in enzyme based applications. A credible solution is to immobilize the enzymes prior to usages. This proc

Dust and fiber have been identified among the highest contributor for the defect in automotive painting line with range from 40% to 50% of total defect breakdown. Eventually, those defects will effect on both visual appearance and also the performance of the parts. In addition, the significance of controlling dust in an assembly line is crucial in
