Long-term fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is necessary to ensure that any FHR abnormality, which may appear at any time during pregnancy and labor, can be detected. An ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder employing three abdominal surface electrodes has been developed towards achieving such a monitoring. The difficulties encountered in det

Clay minerals are used for therapeutic purposes, with a beneficial effect on health especially in pharmaceutical formulations in the form of administered topically such as for dermatological protectors, cosmetics due to its high specific area and absorption capacity. It is commonly used for aesthetic medicine due to its cation exchange capacity, co

Expression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (BHCG) mRNA in early cleavage cell stages is important in predicting embryo viability at blastocyst stage of development. Embryo viability is crucial for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment to be succeeded in terms of increment of implantation and pregnancy rate. In order to establish fertilization

One of the effective ways to diagnose various respiratory diseases is using spirometry test. Good spirometer comes with excellent graphical user interface. Spirometer is used to measure lung parameters such as FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) and FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second). The aim of this project is to develop a portable spirom

Background and Objective: YB-1 is a transcription and oncogenic factor capable of binding to DNA and RNA performing versatile functions within normal and cancer cells. Some studies reported the binding of YB-1 with a collagenases gene promoter and influencing their expression. In addition, the role of YB-1 in malignant melanoma was not elucidated.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous People, adopted on 13 September 2007, provides a clear support for the recognition of indigenous people's right over their cultural heritage, traditional cultural expression and traditional knowledge (Article 31).

Water supplied to residential areas is prone to contaminants due to pipe residues and silt, and therefore resulted in cloudiness, unfavorable taste, and odor in water. Turbidity, a measure of water cloudiness, is one of the important factors for assessing water quality. This paper proposes a low-cost turbidity system based on a light detection unit
