ABSTRACT: Pectin is a complex polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants and consisting mainly of esterified D-galacturonic acid resides in �-(1-4) chain. In production of fruit juice, pectin contributes to fruit juice viscosity, thereby reducing the juice production and increasing the filtration time. Polygalacturonase improves the juice p

We have developed a novel sonication decellularization system to prepare completely decellularized bioscaffolds in a short treatment time. The aim of the study is to investigate the sonication decellularization efficiency and its relation with ultrasonic power output and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in different detergent solution. In the st

In this paper we report on the electrical impedance spectroscopy characterization of the attachment of two mammalian cell lines: endothelial cells (RFPEC) and fibroblast cells (V79). For electrical cell–substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) of the endothelial cells a commercially available eightwell cell culture impedance array (ECIS-8W1E) was used.

Design and development of new anticancer drugs with low toxicity is a very challenging task and computer aided methods are being increasingly used to solve this problem. In this study, we investigated the anticancer activity of aliphatic nitrosoureas using quantum chemical quantitative structure activity relation (QSAR) approach. In this method, th

High discharge rate zinc electrode is prepared using the electrodeposition process. The electrolytic bath consists of zinc chloride as the metal source and ammonium chloride as the supporting electrolyte. The concentration of the supporting electrolyte is varied from zero until 4 M, while the concentration of zinc chloride is fixed at 2 M. The aim

The advancement of Information Communication Technology (ICT) nowadays gives a great challenge to educators in order to continuously play significant roles in the borderless globalization of information era. This challenge should not be regarded as a threat but should be accepted as a great reward to education world. Thus, the main purpose of this

Overall procedures and methods are discussed in details before conducting the mechanical testsComposites reinforced withnaturalandsynthetic fibers:PartI Chapter22 Comparison betweencomposites reinforced \vithnaturalandsyn

This paper presents a review of the Green Building Index as a new innovation in landscape architecture scope of works. The Green Building Index (GBI) is a green rating system introduced by the Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) to evaluate the performance of building across a broad range of environmental considerations. Apart from evaluating the bui

This paper presents the theoretical review of the importance of landscape design in the execution of green and sustainable buildings as a trend of current development concept. Instead of beautifying the environment, strategic landscape design may help to prevent from extensive building heat gain, reduce the energy and water consumption as well as p

It is a short study conducted in IIUM that was trying to investigate what were the factors affected the crime scenes in IIUM mahallahs. There were five research questions to be focused on. Implications and recommendation for future research were also presented.
