Branch retinal artery occlusion occurs when an artery in the branch retina is blocked, most commonly due to emboli. The sensitive neural tissue of the retina is highly dependent on adequate blood flow and hypoperfusion of retinal tissue can cause visual field loss. We report a case of a 23-year-old librarian presented to us with the complaint of su

Allocation of land for the disposal and treatment of toxic waste is difficult in many developed nations; this more than often leads to dumping of the said waste into either the ocean or into developing nations. The latter option being the easier and more cost-effective of the two, due to the lack or lax of related regulations, the ethical aspect of

The emergence of the need of education of best quality by many world nations brought the idea of values inculcation in the attainment of this noble objective. Therefore, this paper examined Islamic universal mathematical values inculcation model in mathematics teaching and learning. Comparison between Islamic universal values and the values in the

This chapter discusses three important points in Surah Al-Hasyr verse 18 to do self reflection. "O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah and let every person look to what he has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.)1 ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES: REFLECTIONS ON HUMANIZING EDUCATION Editors Dzul

Objectives Suramin is a polysulfonated naphthylurea with antiparasitic and potential antineoplastic activity. Suramin’s pharmacological actions, which have not yet been fully elucidated, include antagonism of the action of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) at its receptor. We investigated the effects of suramin on PDGF-stimulated proteoglycan

Heat flows through the mould in casting govern the cooling rate of the liquid which affects the structure and properties of the materials. By controlling the heat flow direction, it is possible to control the structures as well as properties of the materials. To predict the heat-flow through the sand mould, finite element (FE) model was developed u

is slowly degrading the limitation and common understanding of privacy and trust through digital life, which has open world concept. It has become normal procedure when the user must submit their personal details for digital service such as social networking, electronic commerce, personal hosting, etc. Meanwhile, to be able to revealing their priva

In this paper, visual tracking and servoing of human face are implemented through image processing. A robotic humanoid head named Amir-II, equipped with web cam and servoing mechanism is used as the platform. The robotic head tracks the human face within the field-of-vision (FOV) while the servoing mechanism ensures the detected human face remains

That academic plagiarism is on the rise is an alarming world-wide phenomenon. Plagiarism could be present in undergraduate students’ academic writing in the form of extended pieces of perfect but blatantly copied work. It could also be found in deceptively inconspicuous smaller portions of unattributed prose. Factors causing students plagiarising

This paper presents the development of graphical user interface (GUI) for Humanoid Head Robot Amir-II. The GUI serves as a monitoring tool for the robot operation which includes the visual input from a webcam as its eye and the positioning of the Dynamixel AX-12 robot actuators.
