Plants constitute a major ingredient in traditional or folk medicine. The therapeutic claims made on the use of these traditional medicinal plants range from simple conditions such as fevers and migraines, to more complex diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. The aqueous ethanolic extracts of five medicinal plant specie

Heart disease is the top cause of death in Malaysia. Arrhythmia is a sign of heart diseases that entails abnormal heart rhythm and is detected mostly by electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, which are attached to the chest, arms or legs of an individual. This mostly requires contact with the skin, which has to be routinely examined. Unfortunately, in un

In this paper, Taguchi concept of robust process design and the classical statistical experimental design methodology are integrated as a way of improving both the product quality and efficiency. Hence, it is a systematic method of optimizing a production process, and is concerned with productivity enhancement and cost effectiveness. . The aim of t

Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 is an opportunistic pathogen which is difficult to eradicate due to its virulence factors, specifically biofilm. The ability of B. cenocepacia to form biofilm is regulated by quorum sensing (QS) system using a signal molecule. Environtmental bacteria often showed the ability to inhibit the QS of other species because t

This study investigates the capability of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to be used for biometric identification. In the context of biometric, recently, researchers have been focusing more on biomedical signals to substitute the biometric modalities that are being used nowadays as the signals obtained from our bodies is considered more secure a

Tourism has now become an important source of revenue for many countries in the world. The spillover from this booming and lucrative industry impacts positively the other sectors of the national economy in those countries. This situation is not only true in the advanced countries of the world, but also in the Muslim world. In this present study on

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is defined as a focal dilatation of the pulmonary artery. It is noted to be very rare and infrequently diagnosed. From literature reviews, only 8 cases of pulmonary artery aneurysms were identified from a total of 109,571 cases within an extended period of 100 years. This gives an incidence of about 0.0073%. PAA is u

Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a malignant neoplasm affecting multiple systems in which extranodal NHL represents 10-20% of all NHL. Case report: This is a case of 45-year-old female with no known medical illness who presented with progressive numbness of bilateral lower limbs since March 2016 which subsequently progress to loss of motor power since

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a malignant neoplasm affecting multiple systems in which extranodal NHL represents 10-20% of all NHL. This is a case of a 45-year-old female with no known medical illness who presented with progressive numbness of bilateral lower limbs since March 2016 which subsequently progress to loss of motor power since November 2

Doubly selective (DS) channel estimation for the downlink massive multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems is a challenging problem, due to the requirements on high pilots overhead and prohibitive complexity. In this paper, by exploiting the highly correlated spatial structure of the obtained arr
