Strontium doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-doped HA) nanopowder has been synthesized using a sol-gel method. The concentration of strontium was varied at 2, 5, 10 and 15 mol%. The as synthesized powders were calcined at temperatures of 500 -900ºC. The calcined white Sr-doped HA powders were characterized using differential and thermogravimetric analysis (

Manufacturing sector in Malaysia is the main driver in the economy. Therefore, most of the universities in Malaysia have Manufacturing Engineering Programs. Actually number of Manufacturing Engineering Programs is higher than Industrial Engineering Programs throughout the country. The related departments in Higher Education Organizations make frequ

The aim of this experimental study is to compare fusion status at lumbar intertransverse processes between implantation with hydroxyapatite (HA) granules alone, HA granules mixed with autologous platelet rich plasma (HA-PRP) and autograft. Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were used. The rabbits were randomized into two groups of 12 rabbits eac

From Bodies to Bases: Human Biology and the Laws of Property takes the reader through the reactions of legal systems to the creeping commodification of all components of the human body. In a hierarchical approach starting with the whole body, through the organs, tissues, cells, and finally individual molecules such as DNA, the author shows how legi

This paper deals with the reception of biotechnology in the Islamic world, particularly focusing on the characteristics of the reception of biotechnology by Muslim legal scholars (fuqahā'), with reference to the general societal discourse. It elucidates the relationship between Islam and Science as an essential paradigm to understand the curr

This research examines the issue of Al-Misyar marriage from a Maqasidi dimension and to appreciate its contribution to a more comprehensive, rational and realistic fatwa on the issue. The research enhances the awareness of the Maqasid approach in producing fatwas on the contemporary issues. The objectives of the research are: first, to identify the

An on-station trial was conducted to investigate the effects of three C/N ratios (10/1, 15/1 and 20/1) along with substrate presence or absence on natural food communities in freshwater prawn culture ponds. An experiment was carried out in 40 m2 ponds stocked with a stocking density of 2 prawn juveniles (5.023 ± 0.02 g)m−2. A locally formulated

A rapid, simple, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of itopride hydrochloride and domperidone in human plasma. Both drugs were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and saturated borax solution. The chromatographic separation

The 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are a class of drug used to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. However, in recent years, statins have been shown to possess a pleiotropic effect beyond its cholesterol lowering ability, including attenuating the effect of ischaemia reperfusion injury. This review
