BACKGROUND: Neptunia oleracea is a plant consumed as vegetable and used as folk remedy for several diseases. Herein, two regression models (partial least square, PLS and random forest, RF) in metabolomics approach were compared and applied for the evaluation of relationship between phenolics and bioactivities of N. oleracea. In addition, the effect

A global, immersive, invisible, ambient network computing environment built through the continued proliferation of smart sensors, cameras, software, databases,and massive data centers in a world-spanning information fabric known as the Internet of Things. The idea is to live in connected world. Altogether varieties of connected objects from smart h

This conceptual paper examines the impact of body image on Adolescents’ quest for cosmetic surgery. A reflective analysis of the literature was utilized. Factors shaping one’s perception of own body was explained .The causes and effects were also highlighted. The study has shown, that there has been a definite increase in the number of teenager

Chronic kidney disease is among the top ten causes of mortality in Malaysia. An increase in the pattern of dialysis recipients has been observed, rising from 325 per million population in 2001 to 762 per million population in 2010. Chronic kidney disease is characterised by irreversible loss of renal function for at least three months, and the risk

Repetitive hand motion exercises help the patients regain their hand motor control. One of the widely used therapies of this type is the patient squeezing a flexible exercise ball in his/her hand repetitively. The exercise balls come at different levels of resistance to accommodate the different levels of limitation of the patients’ hands. Howeve

This book discusses the subjects of the history and architecture of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. It represents the story of the evolution of the Mosque from the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to the modern era of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The book is about the Mosque’s development from a simple unroofed and unpaved enclosure of approxim

A search is presented for heavy vectorlike quarks (VLQs) that couple only to light quarks in protonproton collisions at ffiffi s p ¼ 8 TeV at the LHC. The data were collected by the CMS experiment during 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Both single and pair production of VLQs are considered. The single-production sea

A search for dark matter is performed looking for events with large missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson decaying either to a pair of bottom quarks or to a pair of photons. The data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in 2015 with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity

A search for single production of vector-like quarks, T and B, decaying into a Z boson and a top or a bottom quark, respectively, is presented. The search is performed using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1 . An exotic T quark produ

Measurements of the differential jet cross section are presented as a function of the jet mass in dijet events, in bins of jet transverse momentum, with and without a jet grooming algorithm. The data have been recorded by the CMS Collaboration in protonproton collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated
