The burial environment has a significant effect on decomposition process. The most influential environmental factors that determine the fate of the process are temperature, moisture, pH, and partial pressure of oxygen. In this study, the decomposition of a cadaver buried in soils with contrasting pH under a tropical climate was investigated. Due to

Noise is increasingly becoming a problem in schools and affects the audibility of speech. The effects of noise hamper learning opportunities for students. Noisy classrooms affect students’ academic performance and wellbeing. Studies have shown that children perform more poorly in noisy situations compared to adults. The current study was done to

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity among teenager. For those indicated, early surgical intervention allows better surgical correction due to flexibility of the spine during teenage years, hence good functional outcome and better cosmetic can be expected. In this case report, there is the management of four pat

This paper presents the study of modes behavior in pavement layer system using Common Array Profiling Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (CAP-SASW) testing method. Method for evaluation and testing the materials at pavement sites are traditionally destructive. The utilization of non-destructive method such as CAP-SASW is a very useful advantage, ho

The replacement of traditional diesel fuels with an alternative energy source like biodiesel is an excellent choice to lessen the depletion of non-renewable energy source such as fossil fuels. For application of low-cost heterogeneous catalyst for generation of biodiesel, most of waste-based catalysts are derived from inexpensive CaO resources. In

In Singapore, as of the year 2017, the number of female Singaporeans has reached two million while the number of male Singaporeans ranges at one million nine hundred thousand. The misconception in the minds of a large number of people is that the act of sharing a husband with another woman is unjust and unfair to women. This mind set seems to be pr

OBJECTIVE We describe a rare case of incarcerated, recurred rectal prolapse and was managed successfully with perineal proctosigmoidectomy. CASE REPORT A 71 year old woman with hypertension and parkinsonism underwent successful perineal stapled prolapse resection. Two months later she presented with incarcerated recurrent rectal prolapse. On clinic

Context: The attitude of healthcare professionals and social supports give big influence toward self-esteem of physically disabled people. Aims: To explore how impairments could affect the self-esteem of physically disabled people and how healthcare professionals and social support boost their self-esteem.

The purpose of this research is to assess biofuel on thrust behaviour and the propulsive performance of ideal Pulse Detonation Engines (PDEs) based on the parametric cycle of analysis for supersonic heat addition. Detonative combustion utilises shocks and detonation waves by providing pressure-rise combustion and prominently result in higher propul

University-based dental institution in Malaysia receives large number of dental visits, however, dental treatment needs among patients attending this kind of institution is not usually reported. This study aimed to identify the trend of dental treatment needs in a university-based dental institution in Kuantan, Pahang situated in the East Coast reg
