Nowadays, a large amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated due to the rapid urbanisation in developing countries leads to the demand for larger and higher capacity landfills. Bioreactor landfill technology has been introduced to accelerate the stability of landfill and to solve the issue of limited landfill area. However, the accelerated

Electrochemical characterization of graphene-based nanocomposites as transducer nanomaterial for highly sensitive biosensors was performed. Parameters that were varied include graphene oxide (GO) concentration, amount of added gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and Nafion® as binder for enhancing electrical conductivity of the transducer layer. The nanoc

The importance of menu variety from the perspective of public health has lacked of discussion in the literature in comparison to the profit perspective of a foodservice business. This paper reports finding of a research on the importance of menu variety for the sustainability of public health at higher education institution (HEI) from students pers

INTRODUCTION Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular (CVS) disease. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, has been identified as a pivotal mediator in both essential hypertension and HDP. Disturbances in Nitric Oxide (NO) bioavailability found in endothelial dysfunction may increase suscept
