Investigation on the total phenolic content (TPC) and free-radical scavenging activity of Nauclea subdita (Korth) Steud. were carried out. Information on these activities might reflect the potency of the plant extract as an antioxidant. Young and matured trees of N. subdita were harvested and cut into three heartwood parts (top, middle and bottom)

Introduction: Students who drive and using mobile phones become a common sight these days. This causes lack of coordination contributing patterns of mobile phone usage while driving among educated young adults. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among students in Klang Valley whom participated voluntarily. Results & conclusion: Stud

Thermal stability of nickel molybdenum electrodeposits was investigated. This investigation is important to show that electrodeposits can be used at elevated temperature and to understand electrodeposit behaviour as a function of temperature. Crack-free electrodeposits with up to 17 at% molybdenum were produced by the square pulse electro-depositio

Dislocation loop was generated by electron irradiation in nickel aluminum alloy. It is important to know dislocation characteristics obtained from a high energetic electron irradiation. If b is the Burger vector of a dislocation loop and g is the diffraction vector, dislocation loop will appear larger, smaller or disappear for g.b>0, g.b<0

Application of partial grounding technique to improve the fractional band width (FBW) of microstrip antennas for ultra wide band (UWB) applications is investigated in this work. Several antennas are designed with variable width of partial ground to observe the impact of partial ground on antenna performance. Each of the antennas has a step and a mi

The present invention provides a system for performing quantum key distribution by securely switching between deterministic and non-deterministic protocol. The system comprising at least one random polarization encoded photon source, at least one optical switch, at least one set of detector for deterministic protocol and a set of detector for non-d

The massive data leaks by Wikileaks suggest how fragile a national security is from the perspective of information system and network sustainability. What Wikileaks have done and achieved raises some causes of concern. How do we view such leaks? Are they an act of whistle-blowing or disclosure of government misconduct in the interest of the public?

The study of bank selection criteria has received attention from many bank marketing researchers. However, from its inception in three decades ago, this kind of study is still scanty for Islamic banking industry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Islamic-bank selection criteria, particularly in Malaysia. To accomplish this purpose, i

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the short-run and the long-run relationships between Islamic banking development and economic growth in the case of Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach – Using quarterly data (2003:1-2010:2), this paper utilizes the bound testing approach of cointegration and error correction models, develope

This study is aimed at examining the long run and short run relationships between both Islamic and conventional financial development with the economic growth in the Bahrain dual financial system. Using quarterly data (2000:1-2010:4) retrieved from Monthly Statistical Bulletin of Central bank of Bahrain (CBB) and International Financial Statistics
