In this study, the mathematical expression formulated by Bohr for the moment of inertia of even-even nuclei based on the hydrodynamical model is modified. The modification pertains to the kinetic energy of the surface oscillations, including the second and third terms of the R-expansion as well as the first term, which had already been modified by

Introduction: Gingivitis is one of the commonest problems faced by patients with fixed appliances (FA) as there is close relation between the appliances to gingival sulcus. Stichopus horrens (SH) is a sea cu- cumber from the Indo-Pacific that has medical healing properties which have been traditionally used. Objective: To assess the effects of toot

Nigeria achieved the leprosy elimination target in the year 2000. Data demonstrating the trend of leprosy in Nigeria during the post-elimination era is limited. This study evaluates the epidemiological trend of leprosy at a referral hospital in Nigeria using leprosy control indicators. A 15-year retrospective study involving new leprosy patients re

Introduction: Prisms is used for binocularity diagnosis and vision therapy in optometry particularly in treating symptomatic vision anomalies such as divergence excess, convergence insufficiency, nystagmus and concomitant as well as incomitant strabismus. This utilization of base-out prism in the alteration of vergence and accommodation system is n

This paper is written to illustrate the experience of Dar al-Hikmah library relocating a law library to a law faculty’s resource centre.

Tobacco use claims more than 8 million lives annually, with most tobacco-related deaths occurring in low and middle-income countries. Second-hand tobacco smoke contributes to an additional 1.2 million deaths annually due to heart disease, cancer, and other diseases. Research appears to show a lack of scientific evidence about the value of e-cigaret

Disposal of animal blood from slaughterhouses leads to high risk of water and land resources problem. Due of this concern, food scientists separated the plasma component and transformed into food additives that comprised with tremendous functional properties such as gelling agent, replacing fat and eggs function, emulsifier, binder agent and also h

Powerful buyers have become a problem stifling the market presence of micro, small and medium businesses. Their power in both upstream and downstream markets may allow them to manipulate prices or output. The authors look at whether competition law can address such problem particularly in Malaysia. They use monopsony as the theoretical framework an

Given the limited studies on Halal food management system, this study seeks to assess the relationship between the implementation of Halal food management system critical constructs, operational performance and product quality. A total of 163 samples collected from Halal certified SMEs manufacturers in Malaysia were used for data analysis. Data wer

A tunable, passively Q-switched thulium-doped fluoride fiber laser (TDFFL) using a tungsten ditelluride (WTe2) thin film based saturable absorber (SA) was proposed and its operational efficacy demonstrated. At a maximum pump power of 250 mW, a Q-switched output at 1494 nm with a 3-dB bandwidth of 3 nm was obtained. The repetition rate was measured
