Polymeric nanofibers with good antimicrobial properties are a promising option to thwart wound infection and accelerate wound healing. Although PVA/Chitosan possesses many useful properties, its antibacterial activity is insufficient for effective wound dressing. Therefore, using a hydrophilic drug such as Gentamicin Sulfate (GS) that has a broad-s

Stunting has negative consequences not only for the child's physical growth, but also for his or her cognitive performances. Stunting can be caused by a various cause, including inappropriate child feeding due to a lack of awareness about feeding babies and toddlers which can be avoided by mothers who are the primary caregivers for their childr

Contour interaction for visual acuity has been found to dissipate with imposed dioptric blur of +1.50D using standard luminance letters and bars (Simmers et al, 1999). It is unclear how dioptric blur affects visual acuity or contour interaction for letters imbedded in noise. We examined the effects of dioptric blur on luminance-modulated and contra

Model-Eliciting-Activities (MEAs) are open ended engineering problems set in realistic contexts, which requires teams of students to create a mathematical model for solving a client’s problem. At the beginning of each MEA, students are required to answer three questions: Q1) “Who is the client?”, Q2) “In one of two sentences, what does the

This paper introduces sludge palm oil (SPO) as a novel substrate for biosurfactant production by liquid state fermentation. Potential strains of microorganism were isolated from various hydrocarbon-based sources at palm oil mill and screened for biosurfactant production with the help of drop collapse method and surface tension activity. Out of 22 i

This research aims at evaluating the psychometric properties of the adapted California Critical Thinking Dispositions (CCTDI) particularly the construct validity. CCTDI consists of 75 Likert-type items measuring seven dispositions, namely truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematicity, inquisitiveness, self-confidence and maturity. The

Robustness of the controller becomes major important factor in active engine mounting system to ensure the vibration of the engine can be attenuated in entire range of operating speed. As robustness is the main advantage of sliding mode control, it has been proposed for vibration control applications. However, most of the proposed sliding mode cont

Medical and nursing are both caring professions which need the practitioners to indulge in effective communication with their clients. They are dealing with people who are in need of help both physically and emotionally. If the medical doctors are engaged in treating the patients, the nurses are the team members who carry out the orders and take ch

The National Council for the Accreditation of Teachers (NCATE) (2008) recognises the relevance of incorporating the use of internet and world wide web in teacher training (ISTE, 2008). Brooks and Byles (2000) stress on productive strategies in Internet search. However, these are often overlooked although finding information on the Internet and how
