Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer and has an excellent strength, however its inherent brittleness and low impact resistance has limited its application. One of the potential alternatives for enhancing the weakness of PLA is by blending it with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) which possesses several attractive properties such as high

Due to the many applications of micropolar fluid such as blood, paint, body fluid, polymers, colloidal fluid and suspension fluid, it has become a prominent subject among the researchers. However, the characteristics of micropolar fluid flow over a surface of another quiescent fluid with heavier density of micropolar fluid under the effect of const

Several structural and non-structural measures and approaches have been implemented by the Malaysian government in order to overcome and alleviate the flood disaster. To date, Education, Partnership and Research have been identified as crucial components in forming an effective Flood Management system in Malaysia. This argument has been supported b

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) and functional status among older people in Kuantan, Pahang. Method: A cross sectional design was employed in this study. A total of 300 respondents were selected by convenience sampling method from Endocrine Clinics HTAA and

This study expands a previous qualitative investigation of students’ experience of existing entities in higher education institutions (HEIs) of Malaysia. We specifically investigated how experience impacted students’ loyalty which eventually drove them to return to the same university for further studies. The Structural Equation Model with Part

Abstract: Dietary polyphenols exist in two forms; extractable polyphenols (EPP) or compounds solubilised by aqueous/organic solvents, and non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) or compounds remain in the corresponding residues after the extraction. At present, most researchers focus on EEP fractions, while NEPP is neglected. Thus, this study aimed to r

Background and objectives: The initiation of apoptotic death in cancer cells is the aim of many chemotherapeutic strategies. As many anticancer agents have been discovered in natural plant sources, the search for novel phytochemicals displaying anticancer activities continues at a tremendous rate. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of

The objective of the study is to assess and compare the total phenolic and flavonoids contents and antioxidant activities of black cumin (BC) seeds and oils (petroleum ether (PE) and n-hexene (HE) extracts and locally available BC oil), including the potential activity of thymoquinone (TQ) and thymohydroquinone (THQ), the two most significant lead

Peranan tabung karbon nano berdinding banyak (MWNTs) dan functionalised tabung karbon nano berdinding banyak (fMWNTs) dalam meningkatkan keberkesanan baja urea (UF) untuk pertumbuhan MR219 padi tempatan diselidiki. MWNTs dan fMWNTs telah digabungkan dengan UF untuk menghasilkan baja urea-tabung karbon nano berdinding banyak (UF-MWNTs) dengan tiga k

INTRODUCTION Pharmaceutical care issues are common among ambulatory haemodialysis patients. Provision of pharmaceutical care by pharmacist has benefitted this population but it is yet to be implemented in private haemodialysis centre. OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a questionnaire which later on is used to evaluate nurses’ knowledge on pharma
