The haruan (Channa striatus) is an indigenous, predatory freshwater fish of Malaysia. It is a common food fish among the local populace with traditionally identified pharmacological benefits in treating wound and pain and in boosting energy of the sick. Channa striatus is also a subject of renewed interest in Malaysian folk medicine in the search f

Ulam or traditional vegetables in Malaysia comprise more than 120 species representing various families ranging from groundcovers, shrubs to trees. Ulam grow well and wild in the forest and forest fringes, in wastelands and wetlands, along streams and ditches, in paddy fields or in backyard gardens. The leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits, roots and rh

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H12Cl2N2OS, contains two crystallographically independent molecules with different conformations: the benzene ring and the thiourea fragment form dihedral angles of 74.32 (11) and 89.39 (11)°. One amino group in each molecule is involved in intramolecular N-HO and intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonding:

Motivation is an important tool in the learning of a second language. It has been proven that motivation is one of the influences on language learning success. Motivation is an integral factor in reading. As reading is a vital component of learning, motivation in reading in English plays an important role in a learners’ personal reading satisfact

The benzene rings of the biphenyl group in the title compound, C20H14ClN3O3S, are nearly coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.20 (3) Å]. The mean plane of the biphenyl group forms a dihedral angle of 5.24 (7)° with the aromatic ring of the nitrochlorobenzene group. Intramolecular N-HCl, N-HO and C-HS hydrogen bonds stabilize the cis-trans conformation

Introduction Infection following grade IIIB open tibial fracture is common. The primary aim of managing this condition is to achieve control of infection before the bone reconstruction procedure is performed. The outcomes for such patients have not been evaluated in the literature. This study was conducted to examine the outcome of a multistage pro

Ulam or traditional vegetables in Malaysia comprise more than 120 species representing various families ranging from groundcovers, shrubs to trees. The leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits, roots and rhizomes of the vegetables are eaten fresh as salad or cooked and are consumed to add variety and flavor to the diet, as well as for their health benefits.

The present work reports the performance characteristics of Zn/MnO2 Leclanché cell employing an inorganic MCM-41 membrane separator. MCM-41 material comprises of one dimensional, hexagonally ordered silicates mesostructure. The main advantage of MCM-41 membrane is its 3-in-1 functional features, viz. as ionic exchange channels, insulating layer be

Powder-mixed dielectric fluid is one of the innovations of electro-discharge machining (EDM) which seeks to improve the process outputs by addition of powders to the dielectric during machining. In the present study, the influence of TaC powder in kerosene dielectric fluid on EDM process outputs was investigated. Experiments were conducted with the

This paper examines the child’s right to determine his / her religious status when one parents converts to Islam under Malaysian law. Determination as to the religious status of a child as well as custodial rights are very much in dispute between these parents as their marriage has to come to an end due to religious sanctions and lack of toleranc
