Objectives: To characterize deer velvet antler (DVA) extract and to determine its effect on biofilm formation of Candida species. Design: Liquid-Chromatography-Quadrupole-Time of Flight (LC-Q-TOF-MS) was conducted to characterize the secondary metabolites of DVA extract. Candida albicans ATCC MYA-4901 (ALT5), AIDS isolate (ALC2), oral cancer isolat

Translation makes mutual understanding possible across diverse cultures and localities. There are different theories of translation each aspiring to objectively represent the original text. Language is a sine qua non of translation and thus the philosophy of translation is inextricable linked to the philosophy of language. The force of language as

Islamic medical practice (IMP) includes spirituality in delivering healthcare services. Current studies on IMP focus on healthcare professionals with less attention given to the nursing and medical students. The objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of IMP among nursing and medical students. This descriptive cross-sectional s

The Environmental Tourism Carrying Capacity (ETCC) is a location-specific implementation model, where metrics are built rather than generalised for all sites, to solve problems that arise on-site. This analysis determines the suitability of certain indicators over others to establish a hierarchical structure of ETCC for Royal Belum State Park (RBSP

The advancement of medical therapy that leads to the discovery of new medical treatments is indeed a blessing to human beings. However, the advancement came with certain ethical concerns involving decisions or procedures which, to a certain extent, contradicting with Islamic values and principles. Amongst the issues that emerged are related to the

CO2 capturing has become very significant option to reduce the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere and hence, minimizing environmental issues. Among solid CO2 sorbent, calcium oxide (CaO) is an attractive regenerable sorbent for CO2 capturing because of their reactivity and high CO2 absorption capacity. CaO alone suffers from rapid decay of CO2 adsor

Calcium-looping technology is defined as one of the most desirable methods of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). However, because of sintering, rapid deactivation of CaO�sorbents is currently a major barrier to this technology. The stability of calcium based sorbent may be enhance by incorporating them with inert support materials su

Sialorrhea also known as drooling is defined as excessive saliva in the mouth or hypersalivation. The symptom causes discomfort for most stroke patients or other neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Sialorrhea may affect physical, mental, self-esteem and social life because the patient needs to accommodate the excessive salivatio

A new method of ductile mode machining of silicon using high speed end milling with diamond coated tool and assisted by compresses air blowing has been developed. This method is capable of removing the ductile and gummy chips before they get deposited on the machined surface since gummy chips can not be removed by mechanical means once they are dep
