However, antibiotic resistance has emerged as one of the biggest risks to public health worldwide. Consequently, new approaches are required to manage the drawback of conventional antibiotics and prevent the emergence of antibiotic-resis

This study examines, classifies and discusses the ethical issues of tissue engineering published in selected online databases from the year 2015 to 2020. In overview, the published literature could be classified according to the type of ethical issues discussed, the phase in development in which the ethical issues are prominently existing and into

Due to sedentariness and poor diet and nutrition, the youth of today are increasingly exposed to early-onset Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Malaysian youth are particularly at risk for T2D since Malaysia has the highest prevalence of obesity among its young population in Asia. Our concern led us to the conduct of this study, which was aimed at discovering

Existing single-lane free flow (SLFF) tolling systems either heavily rely on contact-based treadle sensor to detect the number of vehicle wheels or manual operator to classify vehicles. While the former is susceptible to high maintenance cost due to wear and tear, the latter is prone to human error. This paper proposes a vision-based solution to SL

In the era of data and the quest for data-driven decision-making, the capacity to tell stories from data is proving to be increasingly valuable. Storytelling is not only a great method displaying facts, but also an effective approach to package knowledge and information so that everyone can understand it.

Hence, the stu

The Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is one of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. It is a great technique that can be applied in the construction project cost estimation to solve classification, prediction, and regression problems (Juszczyk, 2017). ANN is data-driven and is considered sensitive to input data (Tayefeh Hashemi et al., 2020). The

Docking site non-union is common following bone transport of the tibiae. Option to improve healing of the docking site includes refashioning both bone end and removing the interposition of soft tissue or iliac bone graft. However, some patients refuse iliac bone grafting because of pain at the donor site. Non-vascularised fibular bone graft is an o

Introduction: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) continues to be the principle cause of mortality and morbidity globally. In Malaysia, people are getting AMI at younger age compared to well-developed countries. LPA gene and Apo E genes exert important roles in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosi
