Response surface methodology (RSM) can be used when the response variable, y, is influenced by several variables, x’s. When treatments take the form of quantitative values, then the true relationship between response variables and independent variables might be known. Examples are given in SAS.Journal of M ode rn A pplie d St atistical Methods Vo

Sjörgren’s syndrome is an uncommon chronic autoimmune disorder that affects exocrine glands. Sialolithiasis is an obstructive salivary gland disease which is also uncommon in the parotid salivary gland. The existing literature has documented the occurrence of multiple calcifications within the parenchyma of the parotid glands in patients with Sj

Introduction: The epidemiological studies of balance disorder symptoms in Malaysia are still understudied, therefore this research sought to explore this issue among the walk-in patients at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic in Kuantan, Pahang. Methods: The study aimed to 1) observe the associatio

Euplotes is a ciliated protozoan that is highly diverse in size and species and has poten-tial to be used as live feed for marine feed larvae. This study was conducted to identify the suitable Euplotes candidate through molecular and morphological methods. Euplotes sp. was characterized by its morphological and 18S rRNA gene sequence. The selected

Using electrocardiogram (ECG) to extract identity, mood and behavioral information of individuals is a hot topic in biometric for the last 15 years. In an ECG signal, the region identified as the QRS complex is primarily used for classification of individuals. In this paper, we study an accepted method for identification where feature points are ex

Globally, the market for certified Halal food and products is rising strongly. In Malaysia alone, there is US$500 billion worth of Halal business opportunities waiting to be tapped and everyone agrees the benefit of certified halal logo. However, most small and medium scale companies do not have the tools to get the job done. This paper adopts a ca

Malaysian English grammar is claimed to contain localised, non-standard features that exist alongside exonormative counterparts. Taking diffusion of such features as an indicator of nativisation, this study argues that this process is influenced not by proficiency and language use alone, but also by the uses to which the language is put, i.e. range

The aims of this study are first to build the linear model of the fixed effect three level nested design. The model is not full column rank and has a constraint on its parameters; second is to transform the non full column rank model with a constraint into full column rank and unconstraint model by using method of model reduction; and third is to d

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a medical term for heart attack. MI are classified into ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) or non ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI). The ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) can be detected by analyzing the electrocardiography (ECG)result. However, and ECG device is only available in hospitals due to its cost and requires an ex
