The population of linguistically and culturally diverse students in tertiary education in Malaysia has increased steadily since the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) intensified the concept of internationalisation. This changing demographics make it incumbent upon teachers to know their students' cultures.This paper examines multicu

Chitosan is a promising biopolymer for drug delivery systems. Because of its beneficial properties, chitosan is widely used in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. In this review, we summarize the physicochemical and drug delivery properties of chitosan, selected studies on utilization of chitosan and chitosan-based nanoparticle composites in vari

A modified release gliclazide 60 mg tablet using Methocel® K100 Premium LV DC2 as a drug retaining polymer was prepared by direct compression. Central composite design was adopted for formulation optimization. The two independent formulation variables included the amount of Methocel® K100 LV DC2 and Maltrin® M150, whereas the response variables

Background The use of medical and drug information software programs for Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) is increasing. The technological advances in recent years may have prompted this increase. Many studies have been conducted in developed countries about the use of PDAs among health care professionals and medical and pharmacy students, but si

In this paper, we consider incomplete survival data that is, partly-interval failure time data where observed data include both exact and interval-censored observation on the survival time of interest. We presented a modification of Fine and Gray (1999) which proposed a class of estimation procedures for semi-parametric proportional hazards regress

In this article, a new, higher-order accurate method, namely higher-order compact-flow field-dependent variation (HOC-FDV) method, has been developed to solve two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The HOC-FDV scheme is of third-order accuracy in time and fourth-order in space. The spatial derivatives in the flow field-dependent variation (FDV) e

Background: Continuous professional development (CPD) is essential to keep pharmacists updated and improve the quality of patient care. The positive impact of CPD on different aspects of pharmacy practice has been documented. Despite its mandatory implementation for Malaysian pharmacists working in the private sector, there is paucity of data to ex

When the nature of a particular notion is sought to be- known, one often resorts to look for its definition, and that definition, by its nature, often identifies the subject matter. Conversely, the definition sought for identifying the subject matter could not have been articulated before investigating the nature of the notion and designating its s

The book is divided into two parts; the first introduces numerical methods and while the second part presents the statistical methods that are particularly useful for students whose mathematical background is limited to basic algebra. The book explains the concepts and supporting them with many examples and applications to appeal the interests of s
