Honeydew melon (Cucumis melo I) is a favourite fruit for Malaysian. However, due to the fruit skin (unutilized part) a lot of waste is generated, which are not consumed by humans. Studies have shown that 65% - 70% of the honeydew fruit is comprised of fruit pulps, 25% - 30% is the fruit skin and remaining is the melon seeds. Increased production of

Central composite design (CCD) under Response surface methodology (RSM) was used in the present study to optimize the extraction parameters for assessing, maximum yield of bio-disinfectant content from Neem leaves extract (NLE). The range of the independent variables, namely solid-solvents ratio (0.05-0.1 w/v), extraction time (1-5 hrs), agitation

This paper puts forward a design concept of Variable length Hyper-redundant robot, consisting of eight links and their encloser system. Each of the rigid links is connected via actuated revolute joints in a chain. The robot will operate on the principle that one by one link will be coming out of the housing and moving towards the desired position.

Every normal-born human have five fingers connected to each of the hands. These fingers have their own specific role that contributes to different hand functions. Among the five fingers, the thumb plays the most special function as an anchor to many of hand activities such as turning a key, gripping a ball and holding a spoon for eating. As a resul

In the current study, high density polyethylene (HDPE)/ ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) blend and organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) filled HDPE/EPDM was develop aiming at enhancing the thermal properties. Maleic anhydride polyethylene (MAPE) agent and electron beam (EB) irradiation technique were applied as HDPE/EPDM blend and OMMT filled

Bioprotein production from underutilized fruit peels is one of the most promising breakthroughs of biotechnological innovations. This research was carried out to increase the availability of high quality affordable proteins by fermentation of Banana peels (BP), which is a lignocellulosic waste generated by many food industries. Pretreatment of BP a

Recent breakthrough in industrial biotechnology offer important economic opportunities for the utilization of agro-industrial residues such as Banana Peels (BP). BP as a complex biological material is an important by-product of several cottage and major hospitality industries. Chemically, it contains cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and simple sug

Till 1970, Bangladesh was still an underdog state of West Pakistan and the people of the future “Bangladesh” were gravely displeased with the Government of Pakistan that governed “Bangladesh” for various reasons of bad governance and hypocritical administration. As a result, “Bangladeshi” people declared an independence movement in Marc

Recent changes in the provision of health care have contributed to the growing importance of nursing law and ethics. The role of nurses has transgressed into many litigated areas concerning issues in negligence, informed consent, confidentiality and euthanasia. The nursing legislations do not cater for many legal and ethical issues, which require a

There are still many issues which require attention with regard to matters pertaining to custody of children in Malaysia. First and foremost, the meaning of custody is not clearly defined in the two important statutes dealing with custody in Malaysia namely Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (LRA) and Guardianship of Infant Act 1961(GIA).
