Background Impaired liver function upon admission has been linked to the severity of COVID-19 infection, yet the data is debated [1]. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to evaluate the liver function among COVID-19 patients during hospitalization and its association with the disease severity. Methodology The patient aged 18 to 80 with positi

The recent advancement in the field of distributed computing depicts a need of developing highly associative and less expensive cache memories for the state-of-art processors i.e., Intel Core i6, i7, etc. Hence, various conventional studies introduced cache replacement policies which are one of the prominent key factors to determine the effectivene

This paper proposes a practical design method for the robust control of a class of MIMO nonlinear plants operating under model uncertainties and matched disturbances where the only available information for feedback are the outputs of the plant. A neural networks based dynamic integral sliding mode control (NNDISMC) with output differentiator obser

The demands of a higher degree of security level for the mobile ad-hoc network are yet to meet the best solution. Owing to the dynamic topology and decentralization issue, the mobile node suffers from a consistent security problem during communication stage. This paper has reviewed the existing system towards secure routing in mobile ad-hoc network

Mobile Adhoc network is shrouded with various issues where majority of the problems encircle around routing and security issues. The root cause of such unsolved issues is dynamic topology and decentralized architecture. A closer look into the existing literatures shows that cryptography is the frequently used technique to ensure security in communi

Five pillars of Islam are ingrained in the minds and actions of the Muslims. Since students at higher learning institutions major into varying disciplines, their ability to relate their respective courses with the five pillars of Islam will likely vary. However, it is very important for Muslim undergraduates outside the religious studies programs t

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a unique machining technique which is capable of machining parts with high degree of complexity regardless of their hardness. However, when high precision and accuracy are needed, the taper and corner roundness on the workpiece machined need to be controlled to ensure that the parts can perform their in

Ductile regime machining can produce crack free surface on brittle material under certain controlled cutting conditions. Although end milling is a versatile process, it has not been frequently applied for machining soda lime glass. The brittle nature of the soda lime glass makes the machining difficult. Soda lime glass is a strain rate and temperat

Introduction Mangrove is a complex and unique ecosystem which experiences periodical tidal flooding inundated with low, moderate and high saline water. The muddy soil is rich in organic matter derived from efficient nutrient cycling system and decomposition of mangrove leaves. Therefore, the adaptation of mangrove microorganisms towards these envir

Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the antidiabetic and antioxidant activities of the different solvents extracts of Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. F) Lindau leaves through different bioassays as well as to identify the functional group(s) responsible for the particular bioactivity through Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spect
