This study concerns the role of activated carbon (AC) from palm raceme as a support material for the enhancement of lipase-catalyzed reactions in an aqueous solution, with deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a co-solvent. The effects of carbonization temperature, impregnation ratio, and carbonization time on lipase activity were studied. The activities

Phytochemicals have been used to reduce the risk of diseases and maintain good health and well-being. However, most phytochemicals have a limitation in their physicochemical properties, which can be modified by reforming the shape of the crystals. Therefore, crystal engineering is a promising approach to optimize physicochemical characteristics of

The development of acoustic wave sensors was driven by the presence of modern technology. Quartzcrystal microbalance (QCM) has excellent sensing capabilitiesand has wide range ofapplications. Selection of sensing layer is crucial to ensure the performance of the QCM sensor for volatile organic compound (VOC) detection. Hence, the objective of this

Introduction: Mentoring is one of the important elements in education as it includes orientation to enhance the tutors’ role, integrating into the education community, teaching and leadership development, scholarship, and service skills. Despite the positive feedbacks and comments on mentoring program, the knowledge and attitude of students towar

Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is an assessment tool that assess the social effects of infrastructure and major projects and is conducted in many countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, New Zealand, and Japan. Malaysia requires such form of assessment for projects deemed to have social implications prior to o

This case is about the employment of curl interscalene catheter which is rarely documented in local setting. A 35-year-old gentleman with bone cyst of right humerus underwent manipulation under anaesthesia, ultrasound guided biopsy, extended bone curettage and bone grafting of right humerus in the beach chair position. A postoperative interscalene

The adsorption isotherm model requires extensive study in promoting a high-performance sensor, especially where adsorption mechanisms adhere. In this work, Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms are analyzed for isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and acetone gas detection using quartz crystal microbalance with chitosan as the sensing layer. Langmuir ads

The consumption of nutritious foods is claimed to confer health benefits and wellness to human beings. The increasing awareness about nutritional needs and health benefits has attracted the attention of researchers, food and drug producers, distributors, health care professionals, and consumers in designing nutraceuticals and functional food produc

This quantitative study discussed the level of belonging, citizenship values, and the level of leadership personality among the second cycle students in the Governorate of Dhofar schools. As the globalization challenges were reflected on the students’ value system, especially the citizenship values, were students affected to varying degrees, by t

Nowadays, biometric authentication is more important than a password or token-based authentication. There have been many techniques suggested for biometric authentication algorithms, however, it can be observed that the Deep Learning approach is significantly more effective and secure than other methods, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (
