Introduction: Consumption of confectioneries is a determinant of health risk. However, how health risk determines the intake of confectioneries remains unclear. The objective is to examine how waist circumference (WC) as a measurement of health risk influences the consumption of confectioneries among adults. The research question is that do high-ri

Objectives: Lowering the prevalence of mental health illness is one of the main public health concerns. The objective of the present study was to examine factors associated with depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) among adults in Malaysia. Methods: Data were extracted from the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2011 (NHMS 2011), whi

The objective of the present study is to examine sociodemographic factors associated with consumption of confectionery among obese and non-obese adults in Malaysia. Secondary analysis of the Malaysian Adult Nutrition Survey (MANS) 2014 was performed. The survey was conducted in urban and rural areas in the 14 states of Malaysia, including the Feder

In this study a novel polymer composite electrolytes (PCEs) based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA): Ce(III)-complex:NH4SCN plasticized with glycerol are prepared by solution cast technique. XRD and FTIR routes are used to study the film structure. The crystalline and amorphous areas are determined through the deconvolution of XRD spectra and their val

This work reports the preparation and characterization of poly(lactic) acid/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/graphene nanoplatelets/Cloisite C20A montmorillonite (PLA/ABS/GnP/C20A) nanocomposites via melt blending. The clay is hybridized with graphene to increase its dispersion in the polymer matrix. The melt processing temperatures play a vital rol

This paper presents a method to precisely model a four rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, widely known as quadcopter autopilot system. Common system identification methods limit quadcopter models into first or second order systems, and do not count for noise characteristics. This leads to poor prediction accuracy of its longitudinal and lateral motion
