Stevia rebaudiana is a unique plant that contains non-caloric natural sweetener and has gained much interest among Malaysians. In this study, the effect of different concentrations of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) was assessed in inducing mutation in Stevia seeds to produce genetic variations, which is valuable for crop improvement. Stevia seeds wer

The mathematical model of the following case is developed: The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of Casson fluid flow over a heated surface due to Newtonian heating. This study takes into account the effect of the thermal radiation in a concentrated Casson fluid flow. Similarity transformation is applied, to convert the governing equations (continuity, mo

This paper deals with mixed convection of Casson fluid which flows over a heated surface that has been stretched exponentially. The governing equations that govern the fluid flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by imposing suitable similarity variables. Numerical computational was carried out to solve for the f “(0) and θ (0) for

The crystal and molecular structures of two homoleptic morpholine-derived dithiocarbamates of zinc, binuclear {Zn[S2CN(CH2CH2)2O)2]2}2 (1), and cadmium, one-dimensional coordination polymer {Cd[S2CN(CH2CH2) 2O)2]2}2 (2), are described. In 1, a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule is found as there are equal numbers of chelating and bidentate bridging

The pressing need for better drugs against skin pigmentation motivates the search for inhibitors of tyrosinase enzyme, the main causative agent.Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1), which is a copper-containing enzyme, plays a vital role in preventing skinpigmentation due to melanin biosynthesis. In this study, we have synthesized 2-acetylthiophene thiosemica

C. albicans is an important opportunistic fungus that is virulent in immunocompromised individuals such as HIV, cancer or transplant patients. Transformation of C. albicans is fundamental to genetic manipulation of C. albicans since it lacks a complete sexual cycle. Homologous recombination is the predominant method for transformation and expressio

Abstract In this research, a novel protease from Ambarella (Spondias cytherea) was identified as a new potential halal meat tenderizer. Optimization of protease extraction by response surface methodology has found the optimized variables at pH 8.22, 4.95% of TX‐100, 6.80 mM of 2‐mercaptoethanol, and 1.71 min of mixing time at 12.37 U/g of prote

Introduction: The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein in human being draining the blood from the lower part of the body running along the right side of the abdominal aorta. Double IVC is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.2% - 3%. Materials and Methods: This case of double IVC was observed during dissection of the abdomen of

Purpose – This study aims to analyse the facts of the case in the judgement made by the High Court of Justice, England, UK, in the case of Dana Gas Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) v. Dana Gas Sukuk Limited (Ltd.) and Ors. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses descriptive and juristic analysis to explain the factual terms in the case o

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of financial fragility and its disparity across ethnic groups in Malaysia. Disparities related to income and wealth are major concerns as they breed conflict and social instability. The study also compares the level of financial fragility of Malaysians with their neighboring Asian c
