Starchy crops are crops that contain starch which is the main source of dietary energy for the world’s population. Starchy crops include rice, sweet potato, cassava, soybean, corn, wheat and more. Plant tissue culture offers many advantages including the regeneration of whole plants from plant cells that have been genetically modified, the produc

Introduction: There is an increasing body of research indicating that nurses are encountering substantial workplace stress, which has emerged as a global concern. In the past decade, there has been significant attention dedicated to the utilisation of online social network-based therapies for stress management among health care personnel. Neverthel

Etlingera elatior or torch ginger is a promising horticultural plant with various economic values that has been used for medicinal, culinary, and ornamental purposes in many countries. The extravagant and showy inflorescence has made E. elatior a valuable plant that can be used for cut flower and floral decoration. However, the plant itself lack of

Introduction: Urethral prolapse (UP) is a rare, benign condition that often goes misdiagnosed and mismanaged. It consists of the eversion of the distal urethral mucosa through the outer urethral meatus, leading to vascular obstruction and prolapsed tissue edema. It can be worrying to the parents as it often causes vaginal bleeding. Its cause is sti

The declining freshwater resources can be overcome using thermal desalination methods such as solar still. However, the productivity of a solar still is highly dependent on the environment and design. In this study, an improvement of the passive solar still with a partially coated condensation cover and a thermoelectric cooling system was made. The

This paper analyses whether Islam is a religion of ease or hardship. It defines the Arabic terms used in the Scripture and Prophetic Traditions. It employs the method of content analysis of relevant verses of the Scripture and statements of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that refer to the feature of ease and removal of hardship in religion an

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) can be fatal without timely diagnosis and treatment. Treatment efficacies vary due to drug resistance, drug toxicity and co-morbidities. It is important to monitor treatment responsiveness to confirm cure and curtail relapse. Currently, microscopy of spleen, bone marrow or lymph node biopsies is the only defi

Air pollution such as particulate matter (PM) emitted from industries result in several thousands of deaths. In recognition of this global threat, a large number of abatement measures have been taken to minimize the emission of this pollutant. Wet scrubber system has been the most widely used control device for PM contaminants. Its operating variab

The high demand of Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as Stevia encourages people for commercial-scale cultivation. In vitro clonal propagation is a potential alternative for conventional propagation due to its advantages. However, microbial contamination is a constant problem for in vitro clonal propagation of field grown plant. Therefore, the aim

An analytical approach is essential for the estimation of the requirements of aerodynamic and aerostatic lift for a hybrid buoyant aircraft. Such aircraft have two different modules to balance the weight of aircraft; aerostatic module and aerodynamic module. Both these modules are to be treated separately for estimation of the mass budget of propul
