The introduction of the eco-core sandwich panel composite is contributing a new approach to the designer to achieve high performance and light weight. In this research project, the new kenaf eco-core sandwich panel will be developed and then laminated with galvanized steel. The final goal is to find the optimum eco-core metal matrix composite sandw

Background: A retrospective record review was conducted among patients aged between 13 to 24 years, diagnosed as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and admitted at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II for surgical intervention from year 2000 to 2013. Methodology: The spinal deformity curvature was measured by the Cobb method on anterior-posterior r

Trust is an important element for healthy human elationships, and it has notable implications for organizations and takeholder groups. This chapter explains how trust can promote effective communication and cooperation. It highlights the role of trust in human relationships as a solution to modern-day socioecological challenges specially as they re

Wireless power transfer (WPT) has been extensively studied from various aspects such as far field and near field, operating frequency, coil design, matched capacitance values, misaligned locations of transmitting and receiving coils, distance variance between them, target loads in the specific locations, environment, and operating conditions. This

Reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to analyze fucoxanthin content of two species of Malaysian brown seaweeds, Turbinaria turbinate andSargassum plagyophyllum. The fucoxanthin contents of T. turbinata, and S. plagyophyllum were 0.59 ± 0.08 and 0.71 ± 0.01 mg/g dry-weight, respectively. Ultraviolet spectrum of

Background: Dry eye (DE) is a multifactorial disorder that can influence tear production,functional visual acuity and ultimately increase the osmolarity of the tear film. The prevalence of DE ranges from 7% to 33% across the world. However, to the best of our knowledge, the prevalence range of DE in Arab countries is not precisely documented in the

The microcellular polymer known as polyHIPE polymer (PHP), with modified physico-chemical characteristics, was developed as a cell matrix for the immobilization of the starch-degrading bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. Suspension of B. subtilis spores was inoculated into a synthesized PHP matrix which is chemically modified, and this PHP matrix was nam

The earth, in many areas is hardly reachable by the wheeled or tracked locomotion system. Thus, walking locomotion system is becoming a favourite option for mobile robot these days. This is because of the ability of walking locomotion to move on the rugged and unlevel terrains. However, to develop a walking locomotion gait for a robot is not a simp

Cellulases are a complex inducible enzyme that able to degrade cellulose. This study investigates the isolation of fungi producing cellulase from mouldy cocoa pod (Theobroma cacao L.). Screening of cellulolytic isolates by using a congo red test were carried out on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) agar plates. The production of cellulases by isolated-
