The aims of this review are to identify prevalence of malnutrition risk in Malaysian elderly living in the community; and to identify the types of nutrition intervention provided to the elderly following malnutrit

Tropidolaemus wagleri and Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus are venomous pit viper species commonly found in Malaysia. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the crude venoms has detected different proteins in T. wagleri and C.purpureomaculatus. They were classified into 13 venom protein families consisting of enzymatic and nonenzymatic proteins. Enzym

The International Organization of Standardization has realized the importance of providing standards and guidelines for event management, which ultimately led to the existence of event management standard; “ISO 20121: 2012 Event sustainability management systems - Requirements with guidance for using it in 2012". Indeed, it was started earlie

Marine actinomycetes are now in demand as they are capable of producing unique and novel compounds with wide biological activities. Marine Streptomyces sp. UKMCC_PT15 previously isolated from seawater collected in Pulau Tinggi, Johor was used in this study. Molecular identification showed high similarity of Streptomyces sp. UKMCC_PT15 with Streptom

In this paper, a portable anti forgery recognition for attendance system using fingerprint based biometric is presented. Portability and security are the main purpose of applying biometric characteristics in a portable attendance system. An independent energy source and its miniature design make the system more efficient in terms of the portability

Cancer patients often have concurrent physical and psychological symptoms. These problems may become barriers towards the healing process. Antidepressants seem to be beneficial for the purpose of palliative care in this type of patients. One of the useful medications is mirtazapine, which is known as noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepr

This study investigated the heavy metal resistance capabilities towards chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) of bacteria isolated from marine sediments of three locations, namely, Teluk Chempedak, Pantai Batu Hitam and Pantai Balok. Majority of the isolates from Pantai Balok area exhibited high resistance to Cr, Ni,

An increasing number of CCTV have been deployed in public and crime-prone areas as demand for automatic monitoring system is increasing to counterbalance the limitation of human monitoring. To have a good monitoring system in such places, a good background model is needed in order to reduce amount of the video processing needed for tracking, classi
