Although flame synthesis promises economic benefit and rapid synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT), the lack of control and understanding of the effects of flame parameters (e.g., temperature and precursor composition) impose some challenges in modelling and identifying CNT growth region for obtaining better throughput. The present study presents an i

This study was aimed to investigate the association of serum adipokines and vitamin D level with the risk of breast cancer. A case-control study was conducted on 78 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and 86 healthy women, aged 21 to 59 years. Level of serum HMW adiponectin, visfatin, vitamin D and anthropometric parameters were determined. Me

The electroreduction of peroxodisulfate has been studied on various electrode materials for decades. However, the reduction of peroxodisulfate is not fully understood to date. Many research groups have searched for an electrode material that exhibits a diffusion-controlled response in the electroreduction of peroxodisulfate. However, the voltammetr

This paper seeks to introduce the general reader to the history of Muslim–Buddhist dialogue, reviewing early instances of interreligious conversation between the two traditions, while also offering a speculative reflection on the Lotus Sutra from an Islamic perspective and highlighting some points of contact between the spirituality of this Buddh

The mainstream use of social media has impacted the library as it has been identified to be an efficient platform for libraries to foster networking and enhance engagement with their user community. The unique characteristics of social media with ‘high tech’, ‘interactive’ blend with the ‘human touch’ give a valuable means for libraries

BACKGROUND A polypill comprising statins, multiple blood-pressure–lowering drugs, and aspirin has been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS Using a 2-by-2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned participants without cardiovascular disease who had an elevated INTERHEART Risk Score to receive a polypill (containing 40

Purpose – This study aims to examine the metal pollution in coastal sediment in the Peninsular Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – Approximately 141 published studies were screened from 1,285 documents and reviewed to determine the existing pollution status in the coastal areas of Peninsular Malaysia and the metals under review were Pb, Hg,

There are many existing problems in Hadith studies trending in the study field. The issues are changeable from the digitalization of the Hadith data to an exact case study of estimation of narrators’ chain for a particular Hadith. However, in this paper, we are not concentrating on the such learning of estimating, confirming or authenticating a H

In this work we estimate stiffness derivatives for an oscillating non-slender axi-symmetric cone in pitch at Mach number greater than five. Results indicate that there is continous decrease in the stiffness derivative with the rise in the semi vertex angle for all the Mach number. The variation in the stiffness derivative is only visible for Mach n

Premature ageing can be seen through the formation of wrinkles and altered pigmentation earlier than it should be. Due to premature ageing and high demand for a mask that can dry faster with easy application, peel-off mask can be used to solve the problems due to its ability to remove dead skin cells and able to treat premature ageing with the addi
