Thermostable enzymes have several benefits in various industrial applications. Cellulase has been used in various industries such as textile, detergent, food and feed, pulp and paper, and recently in bioethanol production. The major aim of this work is to predict the potential site for mutagenesis computationally and produce the mutant experimental

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth. Enzymatic degradation of this biopolymer is a crucial step toward its conversion to bioethanol. However the current cellulosic enzymes are unable to withstand high temperature of industrial processes. In this work we use computer simulations to predict thermostable endoglucanase. The molecular dyn

The aim of this project is to develop a Scenario Management and Requirements Tool (SMaRT) to assist users involved in managing the Requirements Engineering (RE) process. The existing RE tools did not support or had less focus on scenario-based methodology, or missing some important RE features. SMaRT improves existing RE tool features to further su

Nanoparticles have gained interest due to its unique properties and benefits that can upgrade the future technologies. However, the production of nanoparticles has adopted physical and chemical methods which have been proven as non-eco friendly and produces toxic products. The present study proposes an eco-friendly synthesis of zinc nanoparticles u

This study was conducted to investigates the correlation of heavy metal and its physico-chemical characteristics in the sediment of Sarawak seawater. The statistical analysis were performed and the correlation of heavy metals concentration and the physico-chemical characteristic were determined. The results show the heavy metal concentration at all

Nowadays, most mosques have lost their social characteristics, especially the ones in cities. In other words, it seems that mosques in the present times are operated simply as a house of worship for Muslims, rather than being used as a whole community place. Considering the current situation in Malaysia, it has been stated that the majority of the

In his recently published Qur’ānic exegesis entitled al-Tafsīr al-Tawḥīdī, Hasan al-Turabi argued that the Qur’ānic discourse needs to be understood in accordance with the contemporary conditions of the Muslims. Its meanings must be interpreted in a rational and holistic manner. Most importantly, any attempt of a rationalistic inter

Objectives: To describe renal replacement therapy (RRT) prescribing practices in Malaysian intensive care units (ICU), and compare this with previously published data from other regions. Method: A survey was sent to physicians responsible for prescribing RRT in major ICU throughout Malaysia. The questionnaire sought information on the physicians

The objective of this development research is to explore the application of Bloom’s Taxanomy in the generation of examination question items process. In addition, assessment of the item’s complexity will also be addressed. This paper provides the explanation, description and information about the Generation and Assessment of Examination Questio

For an integral body or a body-on-frame vehicle, the vehicle’s frontal part is the major structural subsystem to absorb the impact energy in a frontal vehicle impact. Ideally, for each serious crash situation, the whole available deformation length must be used and all the impact energy must be absorbed without deforming the passenger compartment
