The present study aimed to characterize and investigate 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (22) as a novel selective COX-2 inhibitor. The data collected from the single X-ray crystallographic analysis and in silico study provide important insights on the molecular conformation and the binding interactions that are

Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) are a conserved group of enzymes that catalyse the conversion between cis and trans conformations of proline imidic peptide bonds. These enzymes play critical roles in regulatory mechanisms of cellular function and pathophysiology of disease. There are three different classes of PPIases and increasing

This study aims at reviewing the curriculum design by including video games in the implementation of the Malay language course at an Institute of Higher Learning. The objective of this study is to obtain expert opinion on the expected manner of implementation of video games in learning the Malay language. The Fuzzy Delphi technique (FDM) is used to

The aim for the paper is to identify the Interior Designer (ID) graduate create by various public universities, demand of their professional services and knowledge and also opportunity in the Malaysia construction industry. The understanding towards the topic is enhanced by questionnaire response method where the related respondents are required to

This paper presents a technology to utilize bio-char and bio-tar from the pyrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch, EFB. In this study, tar vapor from pyrolysis of EFB was infiltrated within porous bio-char and carbon deposition occurred on the pore surface by chemical vapor infiltration process. For preparation, EFB particles were made into pellets

In the global era, more than half of the world population live in urban area. With rapid urbanisation growth where the highest percentage concentrate in Asia, a relevant approach is needed in order to eliminate the possible threat that occurs after urbanisation took place; the urban sprawl. Urban sprawl is a popular term in academic discourse and h

Abstract. Additional of fiber in concrete creates fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with an improvement of the mechanical properties of the concrete. However, fiber incorporation in FRC is limited to 2% to allow normal mixing procedure. To address this issue, high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is introduced and it is relatively new in

In creating a successful product it is important to understand consumers’ perceptions of a product early in the design process. Often, design students lack the necessary data collection and user testing skills to support effective design decision-making. Consequently, their products might not be acceptable to the intended consumers and are thus l

Much research has been conducted to studying graduates' employability and their pattern of employment after graduation. Research of such nature is knows as Tracer Study. The aim of the tracer study is to track graduates' performance or progress after completing their undergraduate studies. This study on IIUM graduates identifies the employa

The osteogenic potential of human adipose-derived stem cells (HADSCs) co-cultured with human osteoblasts (HOBs) using selected HADSCs/HOBs ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2, respectively, is evaluated. The HADSCs/HOBs were seeded on electrospun three-dimensional poly[(R)23-hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) blended with bovine-derived hydroxyapatite (BHA). Monoc
