Antimalarial drug resistance is a threat to the worldwide effort to control and eliminate malaria and warrants the need to discover new drugs for malarial infection. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the antimalarial activity of Diplazium esculentum aqueous extract in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice. Forty-two mice were divided into seven groups a

A preliminary design optimization and trajectory optimization of air launch vehicle (ALV) are conducted using particle swarms. The optimization is conducted in three main steps. First, a mission analysis of ALV is performed using the required Delta-V predicted by trajectory optimization. The initial masses estimated are used for the preliminary ALV

The rapidly growing popularity of E-Learning has introduced new terms to education, as virtual learning. The success of a virtual learning environment (VLE) depends on a considerable extent of student acceptance and use of such an e-Iearning system. The current study introduces an overview of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Furthermore, it b

The concept of virtual learning environment (VLE) means more than website, it has several features that can enhance the education process, it is not necessary to be represented in distance learning, this concept is extended to enrich the education activities even in the classroom. The current research aims to explore the definitions of the VLEs in

The emergence of electronic learning (e-Iearning) has further facilitated the wide adoption of learner-centered education and other changes in educational practices. Such benefits of e-Iearning are reduced education cost, consistency, timely content, flexible accessibility, and convenience. The present study provides brief description of e-Iearning

The Peat Swamp: Productivity, Traficability and Mechanization has been written with emphasizing the fundamental engineering principles underlying the peat characteristics, importance of peat,peat environmental affect, determination of the mechanical properties of peat terrain, mechanization of peat based on the vehicle for highland, moderate peatla

A study was carried out to compare the thermo physical behaviors of canola-Engkabang fat blends with those of lard (LD). Four blends were prepared by mixing canola oil with Engkabang fat (CaO:EF) in different ratios: EF-1, 75:25; EF-2, 70:30; EF-3, 65:35; EF-4, 60:40. The fat blends and LD were compared for their basic physico-chemical parameters,

Construction activities are recognized as complex and typically involve various parties. Each party has own responsibilities which would contribute to a success of a construction project. Therefore, commitment of all parties is essential. Generally, commitment in the workplace influences organizational effectiveness and employee behaviour. Thus, co

Butter may be adulterated with cheaper animal fats, such as chicken fat (CF). Thus, the detection and quantification of butter adulteration with CF was monitored using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, combined with chemometric of partial least square (PLS) at the frequency regions of 1200-1000cm–1. FTIR measurements were made on pu

The X-band satellite communication (satcom) has been conventionally set aside for military and government organizations. It is also commonly known as the military band. The attributes of an X-band satcom hardware are expected to be designed specifically for military operations and they are expected to differ very much to those of commercial frequen
