Objectives/Research Problem: Cartilage is an avascular tissue made of one cell type only which is the chondrocyte. Due to the low mitotic property, the chondrocytes have very limited self-repair capacity. As a result, once the cartilage is injured and left untreated, degeneration changes will precede ageing and can be progressive. Limitation in the

Purpose: This study aims to identify the potential effects of the Qur’anic recitation,particularly Surah Al-Fatihah on the wound healing activity of chondrocytes derived from rabbit articular cartilage. Methods: A serially cultured and expanded chondrocytes was used in this study. A cellular model was established in vitro and divided into four gr

Concept of aerostatic lift from the long ignored buoyant aerial vehicles has now a day been applied for partial fulfilment of the lift requirement for hybrid buoyant aircraft. This diffused lift technology seems to have eradicated the separate requirement of the heating mechanism for the lifting gas. In comparison with conventional aircraft, such a

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy methods were used to investigate the compatibility between an active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), paracetamol (PCM), with excipients such as honey, xanthan gum, sodium methylparaben, sodium propylparaben and sodium citrate. To assess the possib

The use of Internet has now become indispensable, and the technology has revolutionized the medical education and practice worldwide. Currently, medical students and professionals have an enormous opportunity to keep them always updated with the exponential growth of knowledge because of potential progression of Internet throughout the world that e

Factors that influence knowledge management (KM) and knowledge sharing (KS) have many potential benefits in the decision-making process for augmenting organizational performance. The main purpose of this study is to examine the antecedent factors that predominately influence academics’ Knowledge management and sharing (KM&S) intention for uni

The substantial influence of Islamic Finance worldwide cannot be neglected with the encouraging potential and growth of Shariah compliant firms especially in Muslim dominated nations.

Flood has been one of the most recurring disasters in Malaysia since the early 1920’s. Previously it was limited to the city centre with flash floods occurring at various intervals. With the major development and expansion of the country as a whole, various states especially those located in the eastern coastal regions have been badly affected ov

Dorsal fin is used in swimming animals like shark for the generation of thrust as well as to meet the requirement of the lateral stability. In the case of aircraft, rudders are normally used for the said requirement. In the present work, this nature inspired idea is explored for its application to neutralize the unavoidable asymmetric thrust produc
