We report a case of an inflammatory pseudotumour (IP) involving the floor of the skull base, which demonstrated aggressive behavior both clinically and radiologically. In this case, the diagnosis was established by clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), histopathological examination (HPE) and the dramatic response towards high dos

Buckling and crushing behaviour of hollow structure was studied through experiments and numerical simulation. The experimental material was a thin aluminium square tube (38 x 38, 1.2 mm thick). Quasi-static crushing load was applied using a Universal Testing Machine, Shimadzu Autograph (AG-X) series which uses TRAPEZIUMX software for control and da

In folk remedies, the leaves of Tetracera indicaare used to treat diabetes in Malaysia. This study was aimed at investigating the antidiabetic potential of T. indica leaves in vivo and in vitro to prove its usefulness in diabetes. Aqueous (AQ) and methanol (MEOH) extracts of T. indica leaves were administered to normal and alloxan induced diabetic

This paper aims to analyze Shaykh Muhammad ‘Abduh’s scientific interpretation of the Qur’an as presented in his voluminous works such as Tafsir Juz Amma and Tafsir al-Manar. It will investigate the scientific methods he developed and dynamic perspectives he projected in analyzing Qur’anic text which provides the ground for rational and crit

Science and technology have always played an important role in the food industry, in ensuring that society’s need for safe and good quality food is met in a sustainable way. In recent decades, advances in automated food preparation and packaging technologies have made the mass production of attractively packaged food commercially viable. However,

The effects of copper and calcium nutrient supplementation on basal stem rot disease caused by Ganoderma boninense were evaluated in oil palm during a 6-month glasshouse study. Nutrients were supplemented when seedlings were at the 2- to 3-leaf stage. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of copper and calcium on the suppression of basal s

This paper presents the approach by the authors in implementation of Islamisation of human knowledge through integrating the Islamic values with engineering subjects. The theoretical concepts of Islamisation of human knowledge in engineering education have been presented and published in so many conferences and articles, however some are found too

This conceptual paper seeks to put forth a novel vision, namely the combined deployment of Quadruple Helix Model (QHM) collaboration mooted by Agensi Inovasi Malaysia, “whole-of-government” concept of ICT implementation across the Malaysian government agencies mooted by MAMPU, and the advances in cloud computing that can be used to set up what

Sustainable development, which has been defined as a means to meet the needs of the present without compromising on the ability of future generations to meet their needs, is not a new term these days. One of the initiatives that have been taken by the government of Malaysia in realizing the idea of sustainable development is through the implementat

Starch is a biodegradable polymer produced in abundance from many renewable resources. This study examined the influence of citric acid (0-40% w/wt%) ) and water (0-40% w/wt%) as secondary additive and glycerol as plasticizer on the mechanical properties of bio-plastic starch (BPS) from Malaysian sago. The CA content varies from 0 to 40 w/wt% while
