Bioactive compounds can be categorised according to their pharmacological activity, but the way of classification is complicated because of the dissimilarities between chemically interrelated compounds and the similarities between different molecules. Selection of an appropriate extraction process is a pivotal step because it influences the charact

The paper assesses on the landscape‟s appropriateness of Muslim cemetery, Jalan Ampang in relation to Shariah compliance. Cemeteries are the spaces where the deceased are buried in order to protect the bodies from scavengers, weather or hygienic conditions and sanitation. Cemetery is very important in Islam as it is one of the ways to remind peop

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a method of localizing damage in infrastructures regarding structural strain, vibration or movements due to external contributing factors which mainly occur as a result of natural disasters. The need to analyze such occurrences can prevent potential damage of massive scale. A sensing system with high sensitivit

CONTEXT: Premna resinosa (Hochst.) Schauer (Lamiaceae) is used in many places to treat bronchitis, respiratory illness and convulsions of the rib cage. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of P. resinosa, and isolates some responsible constituents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The methanol extract of P.

It is well known that people are naturally different and behave differently even in the given similar situations. Each individual has unique characteristic patterns of personality traits that derive and control his/her behavior. However, someone's behavior can be predicted by assessment his/her personality. Therefore, personality tests have bec

Subcritical carbon dioxide Soxhlet extraction of biologically active compounds from Clincanthus nutans was investigated by full factorial design to identify and optimize the factors (particle size and co-solvent) affecting extract yield, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. A

Elevated blood glucose and increased activities of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) are strongly linked to coronary heart disease. In this report, our goal was to develop small heterocyclic compound that inhibit sPLA2. The title compounds were also tested against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. This array of enzymes was selected due to their implic

Stuttering is a motor-speech disorder that has features in common with other motor control disorders such as dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, and Tourette’s syndrome. Stuttering results from complex interactions between factors such as motor, language, emotions, and genetic systems. This study used Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) for feature extrac

Background This study was aimed to evaluate antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with a subsequent analysis of total phenolic and total flavonoid content of methanol extract and its derived fractions from Clinacanthus nutans accompanied by comprehensive phytochemical profiling. Methods Liquid-liquid partition chromatography was used

Palm oil mill effluent (POME), high content of organic substances can be a great source for production of renewable energy i.e. biogas through microbial biodegradation. The production of biogas has widely been discovered, however, it shows a problem with the low yield of biogas produced. Thus, in order to overcome this problem, a process was used b
