A transient CFD simulation was successfully carried out for waste cooking oil (WCO)transesterification in a stirred tank reactor (STR). In this work, a multi-species reaction model was simplified to simulate the reactive flow in an STR using in a multiple reference frame (MRF)approach. Average velocity fields in the STR, by a mixed flow impeller we

The Malaysian Quality of life Index (MQLI) has improved by 7.0 points during 1990-2000 and further to another 11.9 points from 2000 to 2010. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that the improvement in the QOL has not been uniform across the states in the country. Therefore, a study need arises to investigate the regional variations in the QOL in the co

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its on-board fuel for motive power. One of the ways to achieve it is by converting the chemical energy from the reaction between hydrogen and fuel cell to electrical energy. The purpose of this work is to design and develop a fuel cell car model by implementing polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)

Syzygium polyanthum is an ethnomedicinal plant with significant antihypertensive effect; however, the mechanism of action is not yet well-described. This study aims to investigate one of its possible antihypertensive mechanisms, the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and its inhibition mechanism. S. polyanthum leaves were macerated usin

The Nigerian Banking and other Financial Institution Decree (BOFID No.25) of 1991 has been amended to permit banking transaction based on Profit and Loss Sharing (PLS) arrangement, but yet there is no single Islamic Bank in Nigeria. This study was conducted to critically analyze the viability of Islamic banking system in Nigeria taking Lagos State

There is this argument that Shari’ah compliant portfolios are at a disadvantage in terms of portfolio diversification given that the exclusion of ‘sin stocks’ shrinks the Islamic investor’s investment universe. This paper investigates first, whether there is empirical evidence to substantiate such a claim, and second, can something be done

There is argument that Shari’ah compliant portfolios are at a disadvantage in terms of portfolio diversification given that the exclusion of “sin stocks” shrinks the Islamic investor’s investment universe. This paper investigates firstly, whether there is empirical evidence to substantiate such a claim, and secondly, can something be done t

Guessing word meaning from context plays an important role in increasing the level of reading comprehension of second or foreign language learners. Despite various taxonomies for guessing word meanings, most of them generally fall into two categories: linguistic sources and non-linguistic sources. This study investigates the use of second language

Objective: To analyse the features of patients with vaginismus first presented to a gynaecologist for infertility before being referred for psychiatric evaluation and management. The case series aim to provide some insight on features and presentations of Asian women with vaginismus. Vaginismus is characterised by persistent or recurrent difficulti
