It is well known that the main constraint of electric vehicles (EVs) is the capabilities to supply efficient energy for driving-range that is comparable to petrol fueled vehicles. Moreover, a large number of batteries needed for EV contribute to heavy weight, poor durability and pricy total cost. In view of that, the need to prolong the battery lif

Evidences of bilateral relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and Periodontal disease (PD) have been increasing and published in oral health practices since 20th century. Nevertheless, awareness of medical staff on relationship between DM and PD and screening PD using self-reported questionnaires has still been limited. This study was done to

Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with cardiovascular (CVD) co-morbidity have higher risk of mortality. Hypertensions, dyslipidaemia, ischemic heart disease (IHD) are common CVD co-morbidity for DM patients. This study was done to determine relationship among CVD comorbidity, risk assessment and glycemic control status of type-2 DM patients.The 5th A

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontal disease (PD) are common chronic diseases in medical and oral health practices. DM is in increasing trends in both Malaysia (11.6% in 2006 to 22.6% in 2013) and Myanmar ( 11.8 % in 2003) while prevalence of unhealthy periodontal tissue among community is also high not only in Malaysia (ranged 90.2 %

Background: Social science research is research concerning with social science disciplines including the sociology of health (inequalities in health, experiences of health and health care system); social anthropology on health (society’s belief and practices relating to health and illness); the role of health and illness in social history, and to

In this work, we rationally designed a high-performance microreactor system for continuous-flow catalysis. The membrane consists of ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and two-dimensional graphene. The Au cores of the NCs act as catalysts, while their ligands have two functions: (1) protecting the Au cores to avoid agglomeration and (2) providing

Polymers can be conductive or nonconductive, natural or synthetic, and have been widely used in the development of biosensors; polymers can be processed at a large scale at a relatively low cost. Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), PANI, and PPy are widely used in fabricating biosensors owing to their intrinsic con

Tunisia created its own halal certification on 6th March 2013 which is displayed only on exported products. In fact, there are no halal certified products in the Tunisian market. Thus, this study aims to identify the factors that may influence the Tunisian consumer’s intention to purchase a halal certified product if they will be available on the

The occurrence of asynchronous breathing (AB) during mechanical ventilation (MV) can have detrimental effect towards a patient's recovery. Hence, it is essential to develop an algorithm to automate AB detection in real-time. In this study, a method for AB detection using machine learning, in particular, Convolutional Neural Network, (CNN), is p

Friable callus of Citrus suhuiensis (C. suhuiensis) derived from its cotyledon seed was inoculated for cell suspension culture establishment. Face Centred Central Composite Design (FCCCD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in Design Expert 9.0 software were used to optimize C. suhuiensis cell suspension culture conditions. Prior to that, one-fa
