The production and stability of two novel myco-flocculants produced by river water fungus (RWF) were investigated. Screening tests were conducted to find suitable nutrients, pH, nutrient concentration, inoculum dose, and stability for two myco-flocculants L. squarrosulus (RWF5) and S. obclavatum (RWF6). The strains showed good flocculating activity

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of metabolite profiling for the characterisation and discrimination volatile compounds using the pattern recognition from in vitro cancer cell lines, which are lung, breast and colon cancer together with the blank medium as a control group. This study implemented the A549 (lung), MCF7 (breast) and HCT116

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a promising biomaterial in bionanocomposites production because of its renewable and eco-friendly properties. Conventional methods to produce MFC such as acid hydrolysis and mechanical treatment posed significant drawbacks; large amount of acid is required and increased defibrillation of alpha cellulose, respect

Invasive fungal and bacteria diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the critically ill and imunocompromised patients.The impact of current situation was encouraged researcher to develop a better drug against microbial activity. Previous study has reported single prologue of heteroaromatic and thiosemicarbazide have the unique ab

This study demonstrates the use of the Item Objective Congruence Method (IOC) for a content validation procedure to evaluate the congruence between reading test items constructed and the reading sub-skills they were intended to measure. The IOC allows for quantification of the content validity evidence of a test or an instrument. In this study, exp

Aim: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is marked by insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to progressive loss of memory and cognitive skills. The continuous reduction of cerebral blood flow resulting from chronic cerebral hypoperfusion leads to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species that triggers inflammation, causing cognitive decline. T

In a peer to peer self-stabilizing message passing system, every single node in the network operates independently with independent resources. In order to self-stabilize to a correct state, messages are passed as a distributed system collectively, messages are passed through out the network among each of the member of the network to inform other no

Encapsulation is a way to stabilize the bioactive compounds from the plant extracts. Previously, encapsulation techniques have been widely studied in modern drugs. For instance, the hydrophobic drugs such as celecoxib, diosmin, exendin-4, 5-fluorouracil and paclitaxel; and hydrophilic drugs such as amoxicillin and insulin. Euphorbiaceae is a family

Olsi Jazexhi argues that the lobbying by the Israeli government and the cajoling of the US of Albania and Kosovo into striking vociferous pro-Israel alliances is a lesson for other Muslim majority countries. Such shifting of political cultures – from countries which had had pro-Palestinian governments, civil society and publics to the current sit

The traditional surgical method for cancer treatment has not been successful in removing primary or metastatic tumors. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy methods, as well as cancer cells and healthy cells affect the process of treatment nausea, hair loss, immune system weakness, such as there are many side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a r
