Characterization and quantification of carotenoids composition is complicated, costly and time-consuming. The accuracy and the reliability of the data depend solely on the standards and HPLC but a major constraint is acquiring and maintaining pure standards. Carotenoid standards are commercially available but they are expensive and are prone to iso

In the present study to produce a typical hip joint, Investment casting has been selected as casting method since this process can give optimum properties of the product having complex geometry with biocompatible material. In order to perform this casting, a die or mould is needed to fabricate wax pattern, which will be used to make ceramic investm

Two types of cast irons with Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Al. alloy systems were investigated in the present study. In order to modify the microstructure and properties of cast iron, Al was added to low silicon pig iron that is in Fe-C-Al (Sorel metal) alloy system. Its effect was then studied with comparing to normal Fe-C-Si alloy system. Both cast irons were

In order to study the wear properties of Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Al alloy systems, castings were produced in resin bonded sand mould of suitable design, which provides information regarding various thicknesses of the castings. Gray cast iron is an inexpensive and readily available material used for manufacturing of roller, roller shell, piston rings, cyli

Malarial infection is not uncommonly complicated by cerebral involvement and poses significant mortality and morbidity especially in children. Similar complications may be seen in the adult population. Cerebral malaria is defined as encephalopathy that presents with impaired consciousness, delirium, and/or seizures. Neurological deficits are common

The concept that there are naturally occuring antidotes to combat diverse forms of human physical illness has long enthralled the human imagination. The discovery of the existence of antagonistic (opposite) couples among the chemical elements in the periodic table has opened up a promising avenue for investigation into combating the onslaught of Al

Purpose – Social software usage is growing at an exponential rate among the present generation of students. Yet, there is paucity of empirical study to understand the determinant of its use in the present setting of this study. This study, therefore, seeks to investigate factors that predict students' attitudes and intentions to use this inte

Administration of Shariah criminal justice is only a small part of the judicial works in Shariah courts in Malaysia. The Shariah court system is a parallel court system to the civil court system with its own judicial officers, laws and procedures. Most of the courts' works involves marriage, divorce and distribution of Muslim estates. The admin

Lecturers in teacher training institute are encouraged to conduct research and are given the opportunities to present the research findings in conferences or to publish them in journals. However, the number of articles produced yearly is not promising compared to the number of lecturers in the institution. This study seeks to examine the factors wh
