This research is to studies the improvement of gas barrier properties of Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET) by graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). The composite is produced by solvent casting method. The GNP content is varied from 0 wt% to 2 wt%. The optimum tensile properties of PET/GNP nanocomposite is 34.7 MPa and the reduction of gas permeation is about

Aims / Background: The ethical issues surrounding end of life care are recent subjects of heated discussions. While issues like brain death has been thoroughly deliberated and well responded by Islamic authorities; some remain far from certainty and requires further exploration. This study aimed to identify various clinical situations with ethical

Introduction: Pediculosis capitis among primary school children is a worldwide problem which carries significant consequences among the school children and caregivers. Despite causing significant health problem which needs to be intervened, only few studies were conducted in Malaysia and there is no previous study conducted in Pahang. Thus, this st

Calcium phosphate cements have become a subject of interest in biomedical material researchers to promote healing of bone fracture or in reconstructed bone defects because of their excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity1. So far, there is no locally product of injectable calcium phosphate cement in Malaysia. Therefore, injectable Osteopaste has

This paper represents a numerical analysis for heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid flow past a stretching sheet with ohmic dissipation and suction/injection. The partial differential equations are reduced into a set of convenient nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the boundary conditions. Haar wavelet quasilinearization method (HWQM) is us

Marine and aquaculture industry production and supplies is perpetually challenged, so as to ensure environmentally responsible growth and the creation of efficient exploitation of under-utilized marine raw biomasses materials. Recognition of health benefits associated with consumption of marine derived biomasses is one of the most promising develop

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the data collected from Malaysian students to investigate the effects of students’ entrepreneurial characteristics (need for achievement, locus of control, propensity to take risk, self-confidence, tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty, and leadership) on their propensity to become entrepreneurs in Mala

The objective of this study is to provide a profile analysis of potential investors in iREIT as an instrument for waqf asset development. By adopting a survey questionnaire approach, a total of 365 respondents participated in the survey, which assessed information pertaining to the understanding of iREIT as an investment instrument, level of accept

Objective: To investigate the wound-healing effect of Alocasia longiloba (A. longiloba) petiole extract on wounds in rats. Methods: Twenty-two male Sprague-dawley rats were randomly assigned to receive 10% solcoseryl gel, phosphate buffer saline, 50% ethanol, 95% ethanol and hexane extracts of A. longiloba at 1.5%, 3% and 6% doses, respectively. A

The taxonomic problems in Shorea mostly involve identification and classification. The investigation presented in this study aims to prove that leaf epidermal characteristics have taxonomic value in Shorea. Epidermal peels were prepared using Jeffrey’s solution. The underside of the leaf surface was scraped with a razor blade to remove lose cells
