Background Many tumors undergo dysregulation of polyamine homeostasis and up-regulation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, which can promote carcinogenesis. The polyamine conjugate has shown promising chemopreventive activity against a range of human tumor cell types, but little is known about the effect of this agent on leukemic cell lines

The recent surge in multidrug-resistant pathogens combined with the diminishing antibiotic pipeline has created a growing need to optimize the use of our existing antibiotic armamentarium, particularly in the management of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Optimal and timely pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment has been assoc

This study examined the effectiveness of using website in learning Arabic language for the purpose of tourism at the Department of General Studies at the College of Poly-Tech MARA, Kelantan Darul Naim. Descriptive study is used to describe briefly about the Arabic Language for Specific Purposes and analyze the effectiveness of website as a main too

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate students’ collocational competence by examining the relationship between the knowledge of lexical collocation among them. The respondents were 30 students of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). A lexical collocation test (LCT) was constructed to gauge the knowledge of collocation, while a speaking proficien

Polyamine is a group of aliphatic amine that is necessary for cell growth and development. However, potential of developing cancer is enhanced with the increase of polyamine levels in the body. Since polyamines can be obtained through diet intake, it is essential for cancer patients to consume foods that have low level of polyamines. Therefore, thi

EEG data contamination due to artifacts, such as eye blink, muscle activity, body movement and others pose as an issue in EEG analysis. This study aims to classify three different types of artifacts in EEG signal, namely; ocular, facial muscle and hand movement using statistical features coupled with neural networks as classifier. Temporal averages

The usefulness of mobile phones nowadays has gone beyond making calls and sending text messages. In fact, most of applications available on desktop computer are presently easily accessible on mobile devices, especially smartphone based on Androids, iOS, and Windows phone platforms. However, at the same time, malware is increasingly becoming pervasi

The Double Folding Cluster Model Potential is constructed using the α - cluster structure of nuclei. It can be derived by folding an α − α interaction with density distributions of α - clusters inside the projectile and target nuclei. This potential has been successfully tested on elastic scattering data of some selected nuclei. In this work,

Introduction: Cancer incidence has shown marked increase over the years that lead to significant interest in disease prevention strategies. Chemoprevention is one of the potential approaches using natural, synthetic or biological agents that are able to delay, reverse, or prevent cancer initiation. Using natural agents of recommended prophetic medi

Introduction: Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) continues to be one of the most popular models to study the dependence effects of substance abuse. This study is divided into three main phases which are pre-conditioning, conditioning and post-conditioning phases. It can be conducted using different protocols which can be used to investigate the eff
