The enzymatic digestibilities of raw and gelatinized starches in various potato starches, as well as sweet potato, cassava, and yam starches, were estimated, along with other starch properties, such as the phosphorus content, median granule size, and rapid visco analyzer (RVA) pasting properties. Furthermore, correlation coefficients were calculate

The aim of the present study was to determine the blood velocity and its indices in common carotid artery (CCA) as reference value for clinical and healthcare application using the constructed portable wireless Doppler blood flow velocimeter system. Evaluation of CCA blood velocity waveforms was performed in 202 healthy volunteers in the age range

Background: The approach to the teaching of ethics and professionalism in the Faculty of Medicine (FM) of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is unique. A specifically designed package is incorporated designated as the Islamic Input into the Medical Programme (IIMP). The IIMP spans over the entire 5 years of the medical programme. In t

In this paper, a gas kinetic solver is developed for the Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in two-space dimensions. To our best knowledge, this is the first attempt to extend the application of the BGK (Bhatnagaar-Gross-Krook) scheme to solve RANS equations with a turbulence model using finite difference method. The convection flux te

A repeated measures design is common in many research areas such as medical and clinical trials, education and psychology. In Meta analysis , where data are typically available at aggregate level, the analysis of repeated measures data is more difficult. One of the limitations of current approaches is in their reliance on the measures at only one o

The paper examines the impact of development activities on water pollution in Malaysia. Hence, the main objective of this paper is not just to examine the trends of development-induced water pollution around the region of the country but to know where the problems are and the policy measures taken by the government. It evaluates the probable causat

The purpose of the study was to examine whether students were able to respond critically to academic texts given. Lack of critical thinking skills in reading, especially at tertiary level, is a great handicap to undergraduates, as they will find it difficult, or even unable, to analyze and evaluate reading materials. What were the critical reading

African catfish Clarias gariepinus hatched with morphologically immature features; however,sensory organs developed rapidly with fish growth. Although the eyes of newly hatched larvae were immature without pigment, in 2 day-old larvae, the retina of the eyes had already developed except for the rod cells. No free neuromasts were observed in newly h

Heterogeneous applications could be assimilated within the same wireless sensor network with the aid of modern motes that have multiple sensor boards on a single radio board. Different types of data generated from such types of motes might have different transmission characteristics in terms of priority, transmission rate, required bandwidth, toler
