Secondary Sjogrens syndrome (sSs) is one of the autoimmune diseases that are covered by a big term Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Estrogen level was measured for both secondary Sjogren`s syndrome (sSs) and control females, anti Ro (SSA) & anti La (SSB) tests were also measured for sSs patients. the aim of this study was to find out the relation bet

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been synthesized by a gas phase double stage chemical vapor deposition (DS-CVD) technique using acetylene (C2H2) and hydrogen (H2) as precursor gases. The morphology and the structure of CNTs were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FSEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The CNTs

The two-step enzymatic hydrolysis of sweet sorghum and cassava were performed by commercially available α-amylase and glucoamylase and further ethanol fermentation of the obtained hydrolyzates by Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. For both sweet sorghum and cassava, the hydrolysis and fermentation were done in a 2 L stirred tank bioreactor, B-

This paper analyzes the changes in productivity of Malaysian mobile telecommunications industry from 1996 to 2001. The data consist of a panel of five mobile service providers in Malaysia, namely Celcom, DiGi, Maxis, TimeCel and TM Cellular. Productivity is measured by the Malmquist index, using a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. The Malm

We analyse the relation between local two-atom and total multi-atom entanglements in the Dicke system composed of a large number of atoms. We use concurrence as a measure of entanglement between two atoms in the multi-atom system, and the spin squeezing parameter as a measure of entanglement in the whole n-atom system. In addition, the influence of

Immune system dysregulation may be involved in schizophrenia, but biomarker studies have thus far reported inconsistent findings. The relationship of plasma levels of complement markers C3 and C4, with schizophrenia, sociodemographic and clinico-psychological factors were here studied in 183 patients and 212 controls. C3 and C4 levels were signific

Background: Having a validated questionnaire in any field would nurture a research path in that particular area. The aim of this study was to validate the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21-item (DASS-21) Bahasa Malaysia BM) version among clinical subjects who were diabetic patients. Objectives: To determine the reliability and construct validity

Some medical image watermarking techniques utilize frequency transform domains to improve the performance of the watermarking technique, where the main requirement of the medical image is to maintain the visual quality. This paper analyzes the imperceptibility performance of two frequency transform techniques Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Di

The dental school admission process involves establishing criteria for evaluating applicants, weighing the various admission criteria, and then comparing applicants based on selected criteria and weighting. In the Kulliyyah of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), admission is mainly based on matriculation cumulative grade po
