Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from exhaled breath from human bodies have been proven to be a useful source of information for early lung cancer diagnosis. To date, there are still arguable information on the production and origin of significant VOCs of cancer cells. Thus, this study aims to conduct in-vitro experiments invol

This paper presents simulation results of the influence of wide range modulation index values ( a m ) in carrier-based PWM strategy for application in generating the stepped waveform. The waveform is tested for application in single-phase half-bridge modular multilevel converters (MMCs) topology. The results presented in this paper include a variat

Protein Arginine Deiminase IV (PAD4) is a new target for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) therapeutic. The enzyme catalyzes the citrullination process in human body that produces citrullinated protein which is believed to be the root cause of RA. The search for inhibitor for the enzyme could lead to the discovery of drug for the treatment of RA. Peptide-b

The fundamental component (50Hz) in the output voltage of a single-phase modular multilevel converter (MMC) can be diverted by varying of the value of modulation index (Mi). However, this changing affects on the value of the total harmonic distortion of the output voltage (THDv) and output current (THDi). Moreover, the variableness of modulation in

Instagram is one of the most popular social networking sites used to follow celebrities and public figures, particularly among female users. Celebrities who use Instagram can influence their female followers in many ways, for instance in influencing their perceptions on body image, adoption of healthy eating lifestyles, and purchase of products or

Islamic reality shows presents an alternative brand of entertainment for the Malaysian Muslim community. This television genre can also be perceived as an innovative form of da’wah. Through watching these shows, television viewers interested in faith-based content can increase their religious knowledge, educate themselves on the Islamic beliefs a

Close friendship is a crucial and distinctive interpersonal tie that can survive a lifetime. Maintaining such friendships at a satisfactory level, even with the aid of social networking websites (SNS) such as Facebook, can be a challenging process. Previous research has shown that relationship satisfaction among close friends depends both upon rela

Amanah refers to the accountability of Muslims to their community. In Malaysian Muslim university students (N = 209), an Amanah Scale predicted a stronger sense of identity along with more adaptive religious and psychosocial functioning. Multiple regression analyses identified Accountability to Society as especially influential, but Accountabilit

Monetary Intelligence theory asserts that individuals apply their money attitude to frame critical concerns in the context and strategically select certain options to achieve financial goals and ultimate happiness. This study explores the bright side of Monetary Intelligence and behavioral economics, frames money attitude in the context of pay and

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide (CO2) and liquid CO2 using Soxhlet (CO2-Soxhlet) extraction were employed to extract three (3) antidiabetic compounds viz. stigmasterol, quercetin, and avicularin from Mimosa pudica. Various extraction parameters were studied. Extracts were analyzed pharmacologically, qualitatively and quant
