Introduction: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are group of compounds that are formed exogenously from diet and endogenously in our body. Generally, AGEs are produced through a non-enzymatic process known as Maillard reaction. The exposure of lipids and proteins with reducing sugar will result in the formation of these compounds. AGEs have be

Skim latex from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) consist of many useful proteins and enzymes that can be utilized to produce value added products for industrial purposes. Lipase recovered from skim latex serum was immobilized via cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA) technology, while supported by magnetic nanoparticles for properties enhancement,

This study investigates the combustion process of empty fruit bunches (EFB) and palm kernel shells (PKS) in a bubbly fluidized-bed combustion chamber. The biomass combustion simulation process uses a kinetic model consisting of chemical kinetic and hydrodynamic flow. This modelling is based on the two-phase theory in the fluidized bed. Where both p

The short term instruments of investment are generally required for the purpose of providing liquidity facilities for banks and other financial institutions to manage the mismatch in their liquidity portfolio. The same thing goes for companies that may be in need of money to pay the salaries of their employees or to meet the mismatch of other unexp

Objective: Endothelin1 (ET1) is 21- amino acid vasoconstrictor peptide secreted by endotheliumwhich has an important role in the pathoohysiology of preeclampsia (PE). The objective of this study was to evaluate the binding sites and quantitative changes in ET1 in umbilical cord vessels of PE patients. Methods: This study recruited 40 pregnant women

One of the major potential challenges before the nascent non-interest (Islamic) banking product in Nigeria is the absence of adequate and viable Shariah-compliant instruments of liquidity management. The availability of the instrument is a sine qua non in the banking system. Conversely, Malaysia being the global hub of the Islamic banking and finan

The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is one of the famous problems that is used mostly as the backbone in many network design problems. Given a graph G(V,E), where V is the set of vertices and E is the set of edges connecting vertices in V, and for every edge eij there is an associated weight cij ≥0. The Multi Period Degree Constrained Minimum Spannin

Single switched-capacitor and series LC resonant converter-based active voltage balancing circuit are presented in this Letter. This converter is proposed to balance the cell voltage in series-connected electrochemical energy storage devices namely battery or supercapacitor. This balancing circuit directly transfers the energy from higher capacitiv

The contagious nature of coronavirus pandemic has rapidly altered people’s working style around the world. As the positive cases have been swiftly increasing, it is common to see organisations restraining their activities or closing down their offices. The pandemic has forced many countries to instruct their employees to work from home, a quick m

The paper deals with the role of private sector or non-governmental organisa-tion in providing welfare services to children without families through alternative care options. These children may include orphans as well as abandoned, abused and ne-glected children who basically have been deprived of parental care and family envi-ronment. According to
