Introduction: Cytokine storms have a substantial role in developing lung injury, multiorgan dysfunction, and mortality in persons afflicted with COVID-19. Cytokine storms have been associated with various immune-active molecules, such as interleukins and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Therefore, this crosssectional study aimed to evaluate t

Introduction: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary condition resulting from a SERPINA1 gene mutation that increases susceptibility to emphysema and cirrhosis, thus prompting efforts for early screening. The standard allele is “M,” while the allelic variants most frequently linked to pathological conditions are “Z” and “S.” Mat

The optimization for gaseous nitriding process parameters of duplex stainless steel was performed using Taguchi approach. The nitriding process parameters of temperature, time and gas mixture ratio of NH3 and N2 are considered as input parameters. Three responses are chosen which are surface hardness, wear weight loss and coefficient of friction. T

With the availability and affordability of computers and communication technology devices worldwide, teaching no longer centers around teachers. Students become autonomous learners, taking the ownership of learning where they no longer rely fully on teachers as the learning resources.

This paper presents the overall pros and cons of the effect of surface roughness elements over a NACA 4412 tapered, swept back half wing with a sweep angle of 30º and a dihedral angle of 5º. The tests were conducted at a Reynolds number of 4 × 105 in the IIUM Low Speed wind tunnel. Different roughness sizes and roughness locations were tested fo

Particularly in the field of Flood Management, poor governance results in weakness when tracking and monitoring flooding activities and systems, the poor mitigation of flood risks, and the inefficient use of both given and invested resources.
