A new selective material based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) was prepared and used as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for sample enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides (OPP) residues prior to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Three OPPs widely used in agriculture (diazinon, quinalphos and chlorpyrifos) were selected

Since the introduction of social networks over a decade ago, a number of research has focused on understanding the behavior of social network user in disclosing information over the Social Network Sites(SNS). Although the issue of privacy breach on SNS has been widely reported, very few studies have used the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) as a

Online platforms have been used widely ever since the pandemic of Covid 19 hits the world. Among the most active groups using this platform are in the education system. Therefore, the Academic Technical team, Kulliyyah of Dentistry (KOD), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) was established to aid in the technical issues with regards to

The purpose of this study is to model the thermoelectric coolers (TEC) by means of computational intelligence system identification. Thermoelectric coolers are widely used in cooling, maintaining and stabilizing the temperature of the Single photon avalanche diode (SPAD). SPAD is a temperature sensitive optoelectronic device, where even a slight va

The Takaful industry is quite new and currently expanding compared to the conventional insurance industry. There are many issues yet to be resolved. One such issue is the issue of nomination and hibah. The objective of this paper is to look into the issue of nominations and the relevance of Hibah to the nomination in the Takaful industry in Malaysi

Introduction: Carers in children’s homes encounter challenges in dealing with the children’s behavioural and emotional problems. This may lead to burden and burnout among carers. Aim: The objectives of this study were to determine the burden and burnout among carers in selected children’s homes. The correlation between them and the children�

The rising concern about plastic waste disposal problems and the need for more versatile polymer-based materials has led to an increasing interest on blending synthetic polymer with degradable materials. In this present study, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and plasticised sago starch or so-called thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS) blends containing

: In this study, melt blended compositions of pure PLA with additions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) up to 30 wt% were prepared. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the properties of PLA/PEG blends, such as structural, thermal, and morph

The objective of the present study was to fi nd the normal values of the cytology and cytochemistry of the Pulmonary Alveolar Macrophages (PAMs) and through the identifi cation of universal normal values. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fl uid was performed by tracheal cannulation to seventy healthy adult male rats. The percentages of differential

Fork-tail threadfin bream (Nemipterus furcosus) is an economically important food fish in Malaysia but the capture production of this fish is decreasing gradually in the Malaysian water. However, nothing is known about the population of this species in the Malaysian water especially in the coastal of Pahang. Therefore, this research aimed to unders
