On a Cayley tree of arbitrary order k we consider two different Potts models with competing nearest-neighbour interactions J1 and next-nearest-neighbour interactions Jp and Jo, where coupling Jp corresponds to interaction of spins belonging to the same branch of the tree (prolonged) and coupling Jo corresponds to interaction of spins belonging to t

It is now widely accepted that the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Malaysia are related to unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Besides an alarming increase in prevalence of overweight and obesity, diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and certain forms of cancer have recorded a

They are intended to influence consumer food choice based on latest scientific findings on food and nutrient intakes, food supplies, prevalence and public health importance of diet-related he

This study aimed to utilize whey protein nanoparticles (WPNPs) and zinc (Zn) loaded WPNPs to protect against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced testicular damage in rats. Zn was loaded on WPNPs at three levels and Zn release was determined at different time intervals. Seventy male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups and treated orally for 4 wee

Background Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a major challenge. Ondansetron blocks sodium channels and may have local anesthetic properties.

A sticker system is a computational model which uses a sticker operation on DNA molecules. A sticker operation works on the complementary relation of double stranded DNA by using ligation and annealing operation to form a complete double stranded DNA sequence. In this paper, a new variant of sticker systems, called weighted sticker systems, is intr
