Despite the efforts expended by the governments of Malaysia and Saudi Arabia to promote science teachers’ use of ICT in the classroom, the ICT uptake among these teachers remains slow and dismal. This article reports on a study undertaken to explore and understand the barriers that prevented science teachers in both countries from using ICT in th

In spite of the fact that commercial bromelain supplements are available in the market, to date, none of them are produced and formulated from recombinant forms. They are extracted and purified (often partially) from the stem and fruit of pineapple (Ananas comosus). This makes the production of bromelain very difficult, less reliable, often contami

The inguinal region is one of the most complex anatomic areas of human body even though it has been the subject of great interest to anatomists and surgeons because of its clinical importance. The aims of the study are to: 1. provide a simplification and in-depth understanding of the complex and confusing inguinal canal anatomy. 2. incorporate time

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have been envisioned as an impol1ant solution to the next generation wireless networking. It is a special kind of multihop wireless network that consists of mesh routers and mesh clients [I]. Typically. mesh routers are static and power-enabled and they !(xm a wireless backbone for the WMNs while connected with the wire

The investigations were made based on the fact that alkaloids from Apocynaceae family are potential for medicinal purposes. The aim of the study was to explore the potential cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of alkaloids extracted from T. corymbosa and to provide scientific basis for further studies of T. corymbosa. The alkaloids were extracte
