Nanoparticles can be synthesized by biological, chemical and physical methods. There are several disadvantages of physical and chemical synthesis methods which include release of hazardous and toxic effluents and higher cost of production. The use of microbial factories for the production of nanoparticles is an emerging field with immense potential

The metabolites of Clinacanthus nutans leaves extracts and their dependence on drying process were systematically characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) multivariate data analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were able to distinguish the leaves extracts obt

Formation of inclusion bodies especially when expressing eukaryotic recombinant proteins in prokaryotic host such as E. coli is a challenge. Ability to express soluble proteins in E.coli will enable us to utilize all the benefits of E.coli as a host mainly the short doubling time. As few reports indicates that temperature influences the expression

Nucleosides can be considered as specific carriers for the nitrosourea moiety with altered pharmacological properties such as improved water solubility, lower myelotoxicity with enhanced cell membrane transport. Several seconucleoside nitrosourea compounds have been reported to have anticancer activity against solid tumors such as, murine adenocarc

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of standardized cinnamon extract (CE) on fasting blood glucose (FBG) level and histopathological changes in islets of Langerhans in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ). Twenty fi ve rats were divided into fi ve groups (n=6); normal control, normal treated with “CE” control, diabeti

Purpose – This paper aims to re-evaluate and thus recommending possible ways in improving the current practice of hibah trust in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – This study conducts a thorough and critical review on relevant literature on Islamic wealth management and estate distribution. Besides, the current practice and application of

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of subdermal etonogestrel implant on menstrual pattern, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), sexual relationship and religious obligations. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted at a family planning clinic between 1st January 2010 to 31st De

We report a passively Q-switched fiber laser operating at 1900 nm region using the newly developed Thulium Bismuth co-doped lithium-alumino-germano-silicate fiber (TBF) as a gain medium in conjunction with a multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based saturable absorber (SA). The TBF and MWCNTs are fabricated and prepared in-house. By increasing the

In this work, the thermoelectric properties of p- and n-type β-FeSi2, prepared utilizing cast iron scrap chips, have been characterized by measuring the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity at temperatures ranging from room temperatures to 800°C. In a previous study, the upgrade recycling of cast iron scrap chips
