The classical problem of the stability and dynamics of thin liquid films on solid surfaces has been studied extensively. Particularly, thin liquid films subjected to various physico-chemical effects such as thermocapillarity, solutal-Marangoni and evaporative instabilities at the film surface has been the focus of research for more than two decades

Selective catalytic hydrogenolysis of glycerol on Os/bentonite catalyst represents a low cost and green route for 1,2-propanediol which is major community chemical used in the production of antifreeze functional fluids, paints and humectants. The experimental results combined with the characterization studies using TPR, FESEM-EDX and XPS techniques

Studying the molecular features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) throws light on its epidemiology and behavior. In this study, HCV infecting a high risk group patient were characterized. The prevalence of the various genotypes and subtypes were determined and the full-length genome of the most prevalent genotype was elucidated. Viral RNA was extracted fr

Antioxidants as free radical scavengers can combat the oxidative stress that occurs in the body to prevent chronic diseases. Therefore, antioxidant rich foods have a high demand among the healthcare consumers to maintain healthy lifestyle. One of the most potential fruit that are expected to contain high antioxidant compound is Phoenix dactylifera

Determination of HCV genotype is important for the disease prognosis and prediction of treatment outcomes. Several methods of genotyping are commercially available and others are done in-house. Aims for the study were to elucidate nucleotide sequence of local HCV strains and to establish an in-house technique for HCV genotyping using DNA intercalat

Introduction No one can deny the presence of Islamic economics and especially Islamic Banking and Finance. Since the 1960s, Islamic economics began as a ‘movement’, with ideals and higher goals to improve the condition of the ummah at a time when the ummah was just rising from centuries of slumber. With political independence after WW2, Muslim

Aims: This study presents the first structural model and proposed the identity of four important key amino acid residues,Asp13, Arg51, Ser131 and Asp207 for the stereospecific haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase from Rhizobium sp. RC1. Methodology and results: The enzyme was built using a homology modeling technique; the structure of crystallized LDEX Y

INTRODUCTION: Piper betle Linn. is an evergreen and perennial plant with glossy heart-shaped leaves which contains various biologically active compounds. Hydroxychavicol is a phenolic compound found in Piper betle leaves which exhibits many potential biological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tyrosinase.OBJ

Islamic Economics is now at least 40 years old (modern economics is 240 years old) No doubt that 20thCentury CE-resurgence of Islam in all dimensions, including intellectual with IEF at the forefront But has IEF genuinely contributed to the ummah? Theory and practice? This paper surveys literature for the last 40 years-10 ICIEFs since 1976 This pap

‘Knowledge and education’ in the Muslim world as the source of Muslim decline and malaise modern knowledge, more specifically modern disciplines, are not value-free nor ideology-free. All modern disciplines, especially the social/human sciences taught in universities in the world were born in the last 300 years and have ‘foundations’ that r
