The antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of aqueous and organic extracts from three sea cucumber species Holothuria scabra, Holothuria leucospilota and Stichopus chloronotus were studied. The result showed that aqueous extract of H. leucospilota contains the highest level of total phenols (9.7 mg GAE/g), while the lowest level was obtained

1. Introduction Supply disruption such as overloading will cause interruptions of electricity supply to customers. The technicians have to manually locate the fault point and this tedious work may last for extended periods of time. The other reasons are the lack of use of efficient tools for operational planning and advanced methodology for quick d

This project has developed a new distribution automation system and remote metering system. It is a customized distribution automation system (DAS) for secure fault isolation at the low voltage (LV) downstream, 415/240V by using the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) distribution system. It is the first DAS research work done on customer side substation

The effect of lead (Pb) initial concentration on the adsorption of the heavy metal from aqueous solutions by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was studied. The isotherm of the sorption of the heavy metal onto the nanocomposite was also studied. The effects of initial lead ions concentration were examined and the results showed that the residual concen

Sea cucumber is a marine invertebrate of the phylum Echinodermata and the class Holothuroidea that found on the sea floor worldwide. In Asia, many of sea cucumber species are considered as traditional food items and have been used in featment of numerous diseases such as eczema, arthritis and hypertension. Previous scientific studies have shown mul

This study was designed to explore the anti-diabetic effect of the leaves of Tetracera Scandens Linn. Merr., (T.Scandens L.) (family: Dilleniaceae) (local name: Mempelas kasar) in vivo. Different parts of this plant are used traditionally in the treatment of gout, internal pains, sore throat, hepatitis and lowering hypertension. Glucose levels in r

The sorption of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on nickel impregnated Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) was studied. In this study, we investigated the affection of the lead initial concentration on the sorption of the heavy metal from water. The isotherm of the sorption of the heavy metal onto the nanocomposi

In Malaysia we are 'loaded' by many halal meats and halal frozen foods. We take it for granted that we just simply pick any frozen meat or food stamped with the halallogo. Even young children know that if they wanted to buy any packed food, the item must have the familiar Malaysian halal logo.
