In the Educational Development Plan 2001 to 2010, the Ministry of Education Malaysia set the ambitious goal of attracting 100,000 international students by 2010 as one of the milestones of turning Malaysia into a center of excellence in higher education. By the end of 2011, Malaysia had indeed managed to attract almost 100,000 foreign students from

Fermentation is used as a mean to produce a variety of fermentation products. These products were in a high demand due to its uses as a raw material in many industries. Immobilization of Rhizopus sp. onto biomass support particles (BSP) as a whole-cells biocatalyst were studied to increase the production of these products from fermentation process.

Unlike other jurisdictions such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Malaysia does not have legislation that deals specifically with landlords and tenants. Thus, a tenancy agreement can be concluded either orally or in writing. As such the rights and obligations of both parties are depending on the terms and conditions of the contract ente

It is commonly seen that vehicles were moving above the speed limit on many expressways especially during free-flow traffic conditions. To ensure safe movement of vehicles, it is important to compare the actual speed of the vehicles against the posted speed limit. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the actual speed of the veh

Recently, development of porous calcium phosphates ceramics has raised considerable interest. A porous structure promotes cell attachment, proliferation and provides pathways for biofluids. Therefore, a high porosity with interconnected pore structure generally favors tissue regeneration. In this work, replication of 0, 2, 5, 10 and 15% SrHA (stron

Chatter is a vibration that occurs during machining operations resulting from instability of the cutting process with system responses of the spindle tool chuck system. One of the most challenging issues in machining process is to know the chatter characteristics. The main problem with chatter is that its mechanics is still not yet fully understood

Machine tool chatter is a type of intensive self-excited vibrations of individual components of Machine-Tool-Fixture-Work (MTFW) system. Chatter causes unwanted excessive vibratory motion in between the tool and the work-piece causing adverse effects on the product quality and machine-tool and tool life. In addition to the damage of the work-piece

High metal removal rate with a desired quality of surface finish is the ultimate objective in machining, but it depends on a large number of factors, which include chip-tool interaction, cutting temperature, wear mechanism and wear rate, cutting force, chatter and dynamics behavior of the machine tool system. Chatter causes instability of the machi

Objectives: To characterize deer velvet antler (DVA) extract and to determine its effect on biofilm formation of Candida species. Design: Liquid-Chromatography-Quadrupole-Time of Flight (LC-Q-TOF-MS) was conducted to characterize the secondary metabolites of DVA extract. Candida albicans ATCC MYA-4901 (ALT5), AIDS isolate (ALC2), oral cancer isolat

Translation makes mutual understanding possible across diverse cultures and localities. There are different theories of translation each aspiring to objectively represent the original text. Language is a sine qua non of translation and thus the philosophy of translation is inextricable linked to the philosophy of language. The force of language as
