Selaginella plana is one of the ferns that grows widely in Indonesia and has been used by the people as food, ornamental plants and traditional medicine. The preparation of S. plana extract in the form of nanoparticles can overcome the weakness of the extract, namely the low water solubility, bioavailability, stability, and absorption so as to incr

The ginger oil traded worldwide could come from various sources. Standard quality is the most critical aspect of ensuring customer safety. This study aims to develop an analytical method for red ginger oil (RGO) authentication. Chemical compositions of red ginger oil were determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The Fourier Trans

This paper presents an alternative modelling technique known as system identification to represent longitudinal vehicle dynamics that relates the input of pedals pressing to the output speed. The input and output data are recorded by simulating a high-fidelity nonlinear vehicle mathematical model with suitable sampling time. Different excitation in

This study aims to identify the roles of exo-β-glucan (EPS-BG) and endo-β-glucan (ENS-BG) extracted from Ganoderma lucidum (GL) in inhibiting the alpha-glucosidase enzyme, a target mechanism for postprandial hyperglycaemia regulation. Upscale production of GL was carried out using a 10 L bioreactor. The zebrafish embryo toxicity test (ZFET) was c

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the evolving paradigm of interconnectedness of objects with varied architectures and resources to provide ubiquitous and desired services. The popularization of IoT-connected devices facilitating evolution of IoT applications does come with security challenges. The IoT with the integration of wireless sensor networks

This paper seeks to introduce to the postgraduate students the main characteristics of Islam and how to make theme relevant to their time as well as field of specialization. Its goal is to create awareness among the postgraduate students about the characteristics of Islam and how to respond to contemporary ideologies, such as scientism, atheism, hu

According to the latest report released by the World Health Organization, bacterial resistance to well-known and widely available antibacterial drugs has become a significant and severe global health concern and a grim challenge to tackle in order to cure infections associated with multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms efficiently. Conseq

Two bacteria strains isolated from Sungai Lembing hot springs, Pahang, Malaysia (Achromobacter marplatensis and Aquamicrobium defluvii) and a white-rot fungus (Ganoderma lucidum) were tested for their decolorization potential. The microbes were developed in minimal salt medium (MSM) supplemented with co-substrate (glucose) and 100 mg/L methyl red d

Apoptosis is essential for maintaining cell homeostasis. It hinders the cancer cells survival and excessive ROS can induce DNA damage in cancer cells, which lead to apoptosis. Therefore, targeting apoptosis may be a universal cancer therapeutic technique. Twelve flavone-based compounds were synthesised and characterised. All compounds were evaluate

Awareness on the difficulties faced by the blind and visually impaired (BVI) people to read tactile graphics has caught the attention of many researchers to develop assistive devices using machine vision approach. At the moment, most techniques that have been used to detect and track hands and fingers are insufficient to support the active and comp
