Dilated spaces at intercellular junctions (DIS) in prickle cell layers are considered as early signs of acid-initiated damage to these esophageal epithelium. In order to enter the mucosal intercellular spaces, acid and pepsin have to penetrate the intercellular adhesion sites of the most superficial epithelial cells. The aim of this study is to exp

Bioinformatics can be defined as collection, organization and analysis of large amount of biological data. The exploration of science and technology (S&T) is very important for the firm’s and country’s growth. Malaysia had started looking at bioinformatics in 1997 but with a controversial issue. In 1999 the link between bioinformatics and b

In this study, the effect of Maleic anhydride on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of Hydroxyapatite (HA)/Polylactic Acid (PLA) composites were determined. Maleic-anhydride (MAH)-grafted- PLA was filled with Hydroxyapetite (HA) using Haake Rheocorder mixer. The composite mixture was then moulded to form t

A new three-stage quadruple pass (QP) EDFA is presented in this paper. The mathematical models for designing this proposed EDFA are developed. In the mathematical models, the effects of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of prior stages are included. Performance analysis of this QP EDFA is carried out with the variation of input pump power ratio

Moringa Oleifera is one of the most extensively studied plant materials for water treatment. It is usually referred to as a miracle plant because of its multipurpose uses. Several studies have revealed that it possesses antibacterial activity against harmful bacteria. This study investigates the effect of two extraction methods; aqueous extraction

This paper explores the interdisciplinary approach of bridging the secular understanding of United Nation‘s Sustainable Human Development (UN SDGs) with the Islamic perspective of Tawhīd. This paper showcases the duality between the physical and the metaphysical understanding of sustainable human development for Muslim societies: employing the c

Moving to a new country causes significant challenges for immigrants. Various reasons contributed to immigrants' mental well-being, such as language barriers, lack of family and social support, discrimination, and others that affect well-being and quality of life among immigrants in the host country. This qualitative study explored the lived ex

The WhatsApp messenger application serves as one of the unlimited instant messaging in the 21st Century and has been used widely by most students as one of the main platform of communication in the university. This paper aims to study Apology Sequences used in WhatsApp interaction among university students at the Kulliyyah of Languages and Manageme
