Background/Aim Foodborne illness is attributable to improper preparation of foods either at home or food premises. Due to hot and humid climate in Malaysia, it becomes the favourable condition for the growth of foodborne bacteria and contributed the high number of reported cases for food poisoning. Most people unaware that the risk of food poisonin

As transistor sizes scale down to nanometres dimensions, CMOS circuits become more sensitive to radiation. High-performance static random access memory (SRAM) cells are prone to radiation-induced single event upsets (SEU) which come from the natural space environment. The SEU generates a soft error in the transistor due to the strike of an ionizing

The effects of poly(lactic‑co‑glycolic acid) (PLGA) on structure, degradation, drug release and mechanical properties relationships of iron-based drug eluting scaffolds have been studied comprehensively. The porous structure of the iron has been incorporated with the curcumin-loaded PLGA (CP) particles through dipping method to produce CP-coate

Cellulose is naturally available polysaccharides that are abundantly found on the earth. Plant-based cellulose and bacterial cellulose are the two types of cellulose that have been studied until this present. Bacterial cellulose is pure compared to the plant-based cellulose which consists of other components such as hemicelluloses and lignin and ne

A top-down silicon nanowire fabrication using a combination of optical lithography and orientation dependent etching (ODE) has been developed using a doped Silicon-on Insulator (SOI) as the starting substrate. The use of ODE etchant such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) and Tetra-Methyl Ammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) is known to create geometrical structure

The Marine tourism industry is one of the most significant economic sectors in Malaysia due to the country's richness in marine biodiversity. For the past two decades, Marine Park Islands (MPIs) in Peninsular Malaysia have been receiving high numbers of tourist arrivals. Overdevelopment of tourist accommodations on the MPIs is causing rapid deg

—This paper presents flexible microstrip antenna designs that can be used for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) operating at a frequency of 5.9 GHz. Designing the flexible antennas for ITS provides alternative to automotive industry to place the antennas at various shapes and conditions. Two antenna arrangements are introduced to produce tw

Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) is an instrumental analysis on the textural behaviour of food products. It has been used widely in the food industry and provides an indication of panellist sensory evaluation. In this study, the performance of the gelatin extracted from red tilapia fish skin treated with High Pressure Processing (HPP) has been evalua

It is reported that coffee has become one of the most wildly consumed beverages in the world with the average consumption by an adult is between 3 to 6 cups per day (Van Dam and Hu, 2005). Previous studies have demonstrated that there is an inverse association between regular consumption of coffee and the risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Ro

This paper investigates previous literature that focusses on the three elements: risk assessment, big data and cloud. We use a systematic literature mapping method to search for journals and proceedings. The systematic literature mapping process is utilized to get a properly screened and focused literature. With the help of inclusion and exclusion
