In the mid-1990s, the East Asian countries experienced severe financial crisis that were followed by deep economic downturns. A variety of methodologies have been used to understand the nature of the Asian financial crisis. However, the impact of the 1997 Asian financial crisis on the efficiency of the financial industry has yet to be critically ex

Based on the theory of constructivism, this study identified 14 year old’ schematized meaning of the concept of percent and how the children use them in solving the related problems. Data incorporating both verbal and non-verbal behaviour was gathered from seven 14 year-olds based on five successive clinical interview sessions involving several p

Petroleum sourced fuels are recognized as unsustainable energies owing to depleting supplies and the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause by the contribution of these fuels. Renewable sourced fuels, biofuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. In biofuels production such as bioethanol, Fusarium oxysporum i

Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses principles of computer science to assist in solving chemical problems. Structures and properties of molecules can be calculated when theoretical chemistry is incorporated into efficient computer programs. Its necessity arises from the well-known fact that apart from relatively recent result

Scaffolds play a key role in the process of regeneration and morphogenesis of tissue or organ. We have studied a novel application of ultrasound irradiation to prepare decellularized tissue for tissue-engineered scaffolds. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possibility of ultrasound energy on decellularization of cartilage tissue. T

Scaffolds play a key role in the process of regeneration and morphogenesis of tissue or organ. We have studied a novel application of microwave radiation to prepare decellularized tissue for tissue-engineered scaffolds. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possibility of microwave effects on decellularization of soft and cartilage tis

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare tumours. It can cause occult gastrointestinal bleeding when conventional investigations fail to detect the bleeding lesions. Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding also represents a challenge in the quest for the clinical diagnosis and its therapeutic approach. We report a case of gastrointestinal bleedi

A 43-year-old man presented with acute extensive anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. During coronary angiogram, a segment of myocardial bridging was noted in the mid-segment of left anterior descending artery. The association of myocardial bridging and an anterior ST segment elevation is rarely reported in the medical literature. M

Development and progress are essential to achieving higher standards of living and enhanced quality of life. Muslim countries, after independence, have aspired and struggled for development and a decent life without fully comprehending the underlying rationale that formed the basis for this striving. It would be instructive, therefore, to reflect o

Exercise training is able to alter cardiovascular fitness. Treadmill exercise testing currently is commonly used in the clinical method of evaluating a subject's functional capacity and aerobic fitness. In this chapter, a fundamental understanding of age-associated normohemodynamic state is described for comparison data and for an improved mean
