The increase of insecticide space spraying to control Aedes mosquitoes submits vector control operators to low-level exposure to toxic organophosphates. Plasma β-glucuronidase level is found to increase in most organophosphate poisoning cases. This study aims to identify presence of organophosphate poisoning using β-glucuronidase assay as an alte

A new tridentate nitrogen-sulphur Schiff base has been synthesised from the condensation of di-2-pyridylketone and a novel dithiocarbazate, S-2-methylbenzyl-dithiocarbazate (S2MBDTC). The Schiff base was characterized using various physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the Schiff base is reported. The

The study proposed to investigate the effect of Islamic work ethic on justice perception among employees in Islamic microfinance institutions in Indonesia. The construct of organizational justice included three dimensions, namely, distributive, procedural, and interactional justice. The samples were drawn from 370 employees from 60 Islamic microfin

There are many research works have been done on autism cases using brain imaging techniques. In this paper, the Electroencephalogram (EEG) was used to understand and analyze the functionality of the brain to identify or detect brain disorder for autism in term of motor imitation. Thus, the portability and affordability of the EEG equipment makes it

Bill of quantities (B/Qs) is an essential document in a construction project which provides the detail of the contract amount. Historically, the formal form of B/Qs was initiated in the United Kingdom after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. They were mainly used by contractors for paying their workers and claiming payments from clients

Shoot formation of garlic (Allium sativum L.) tissue culture was studied in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Gamborg's basal medium (B5) which are supplemented with a different combination of growth hormones namely 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) and a-Naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) with and w'ithout cold pretreatments A stem-disc of shoot tips was use

Increase in insecticide space spraying (fogging) activities in Selangor, Malaysia for management of dengue outbreaks submits vector control operators towards occupational low-level exposure towards hazardous organophosphate and pyrethroid compounds. Hence, this study was aimed to determine insecticide poisoning among these workers occupationally ex

This research aims to study the practice of staff training in Malaysia. The study is conducted in two stages. Stage one is the literature review. Stage two is the interviews with the principal and staff of QS firms. Findings from the study indicate that majority of the QS firms practice staff training. The QS firms have policy and budgets for staff

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation system operates under various isolation conditions, which may generate several maximum output power points on the I-V curve of the PV array and raises serious problem on Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control of the system. This research concerned the design of MPPT for photovoltaic system by using PIC contro

This experimental study reports on the stability and thermal conductivity enhancement of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanofluids with and without gum arabic (GA). The stability of CNT in the presence of GA dispersant in water is systematically investigated by taking into account the combined effect of various parameters, such as sonication time, tempera
