Murmurs are unusual heartbeat sounds that can be used to aid in diagnosing underlying health problems. Doctors often will manually perform heart auscultations, that is, attempt to hear these sounds using a stethoscope. This can be inaccurate as these murmurs are very subtle and can be muffled by background noises. Plus, it requires training, and th

Composite restoration is a popular material to restore tooth structure due to dental caries as there is an increasing demand for aesthetic restoration. With the advancing technologies, it has excellent physical characteristics which increases its longevity. However, the appropriate case selection also influences the outcome as composite is techniqu

Improving dental appearances generally leads to an increase in confidence, social interactions and ultimately quality of life. This case aimed to perform aesthetic rehabilitation on the upper central incisors. The patient was a 25-year-old female who was concerned with the gap in her front teeth and discolouration of her crown. The treatment starte

Herb Phyllanthus niruri (P. niruri) is known to have various pharmacological functions including anti-diabetic properties. In this research, protein extracts from different plant parts (leave, fruit and stem) of P. niruri were investigated for their anti-diabetic potential through α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition assays. For the enzy

The ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 ceramic cutting tool is a new cutting tool that possesses good hardness and fracture toughness. Yet, the performance of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool is still unknown and needs further study. In this research, the comparison of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 and Kennametal ceramic cutting tool is investigated. The turning process by using

Purpose – This study aims to compare and contrast the financial affordability of Islamic home financing instruments such as bay’ bithaman ajil and musharakah mutanaqisah (MM) offered by various home financing institutions in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – Mathematical simulations were carried out in examining the financial affordabil

Housing is a burgeoning industry in Malaysia. Initially, housing accommodation was provided by the Malaysian Federal Government in the early days of its independence. Later, the private sector was invited by the government to participate in providing housing accommodation to meet the public upsurges in demand for housing. To govern the housing indu

Plastic pollution is one of the prevalent global crises of the decade. The non-degradable nature of plastics has caused severe marine and land pollution which is responsible for the death of hundreds of marine species and birds. Over the years, the generation of plastic waste shows no sign of slowing down and The United Nations have predicted that

The task in mining closed frequent itemsets requires the algorithm to mine the frequent ones then determine its closure. The efficiency of closure computation is very important as it will determine the total mining time and the required memory. Over the years, many closure computation methods have been proposed to achieve these goals. However, to t

A composite pavement known as semi rigid wearing course is made by incorporating high workability fluid grout into a high porosity of porous asphalt skeleton. This fluid grout is particularly designed to have the consistency workability of water with high early and 28 – day strength. It is critical to maintain its high fluidity so it can flow thr
