The number of people with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in Malaysia is increasing. However, there is no information on whether leisure activities premises are exposing the public to the risk of NIHL. This book, consisting of two parts, assessed the noise exposure during the screenings of movies at a selected movie theatre. The first part of the

Less sedimentation and convection in a microgravity environment has become a well-suited condition for growing high quality protein crystals. Thermostable T1 lipase derived from bacterium Geobacillus zalihae has been crystallized using the counter diffusion method under space and earth conditions. Preliminary study using YASARA molecular modeling s

Muslim presence was manifest in the coastal regions of Southern India from the earliest days of Islam, as evidenced by the establishment of Arab trading settlements, with minor political impact prior to the conquests in Northern India from the beginning of the 8th century, which solidified the influence of Islam leading to tangible political and so

The pharmacological potential of bioactive compounds extracted from mushrooms has been studied to a reasonable level. In the same vein, the bioactivity of nanoparticles has also been investigated and reported to be of potential pharmacological benefit. No doubt, there is a reasonable amount of claims regarding the vast activity of the mushroom extr

Background: There is a steep increase in the consumer use of complementary alternative medicine (CAM), with many users unaware of the need to inform their health care providers. Various predictors including psychosocial factors such as beliefs and behavior have been accounted for preference toward CAM use, with varying results. Methods: This study

Over the last three decades, managers, researchers, practitioners, management consultants and many other people have used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to make decisions or to prioritize a set of factors in many areas of management. Perhaps, the most appealing reason for the method’s widespread use is its simplicity in application. Further

The history of medicine is bound up with the history of human civilization and life, representing the complex interactions of human communities, geography and the environment over time.

The ancient maritime trading links enabled by the seasonal monsoons between East Africa and China, via the Arabian, Indian and Southeast Asian ports, have played an important but overlooked role in the history of human civilization. The coastal regions of the Indian Ocean represent a cosmopolitan blend of social and cultural diversity enriched main

This paper reports a study on mitigation of propagation impairments on Earth-space communication links. The study uses time diversity as a technique for mitigating rain propagation impairment in order to rectify rain fade. Rain attenuation time series along earth-to-satellite link were measured for two years period at 12.225 GHz in Malaysia. The ti
