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-

The unsustainable use of resources and technology under the traditional economic model -despite the growth achieved- has led to environmental degradation and climate change. These effects have had a negative impact on several sectors, including water. Unsustainable water consumption, as well as the degradation of limited water sources, have been a

The paper discusses how to receive spiritual care through mindful ṣalāt by applying cognitive psychology and physiological psychology concepts. The ṣalāt is a religious ritual performed obligatorily five times a day according to certain procedures. The procedures are a coordination of a total of thirteen physical, verbal and spiritual arkān

For social, emotional and cognitive development of the human being, Social Networking Sites (SNSs) provide an important milieu that eventually leads the human experience to the new era. Malaysia is one of the top countries where social networking sites are adopted faster. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors influencing the Malaysi

In this work, a Modified Cross Antenna Rotation and Inversion algorithm is introduced to reduce the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the MIMO-OFDM signals. Cross Antenna Rotation and Inversion (CARI) and its derivative (SS-CARI) are considered to be very effective methods to reduce high PAPR; however, (CARI) algorithm suffers high complex

Although it is unlikely that wastewater will become an important transmission pathway for coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2, increasing circulation of the virus in the population will increase the virus load into the sewer systems of our cities. Moreover, sewage surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be a tool to monitor the circulation of COVID-19 in ou
