Detection sensitivity is a crucial criterion in the design and application of ECIS sensors. The influence of sensing electrode dimension on detection sensitivity is investigated in this paper. Eight types of ECIS sensors were fabricated, and their experimental results reveal that smaller-radius working electrodes generate more sensitive impedance s

Background and aims It was reported that opioid consumption in developing countries was stagnated or decreased but precise data on the consumption are unclear. This study examined the trends and patterns of opioid consumption in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. Methods Data of five strong opioids consumption (morphine, oxycodone, fenta

In this paper, the mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey fluid past a horizontal circular cylinder with viscous dissipation effect and constant heat flux is discussed. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless forms using the appropriate non-similar transformation. Numerica

The purpose of this paper is to examine antecedents that predict researchers’ usage intention of Open Access Journals (OAJs) in Tanzania, with a specific focus on the Agricultural Research Institutes (ARIs). Specifically, the study investigates major predictors of usage intentions of OAJs. Data were collected from pilot study. A total of 60 (85.7

This paper discusses the viscous dissipation effect with constant heat flux on the mixed convection boundary layer flow past a horizontal circular cylinder in a Jeffrey fluid. The transformed partial differential equations are solved numerically by using the well-tested, flexible, implicit and unconditionally stable Keller-box method. Numerical res

This study investigates the influence of viscous dissipation on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions. The nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations by utilizing the similarity transformation variables. The Runge-K

Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) consists many nutrients that are useful to be applied in the industry and directed studies towards utilization of this substrate in order to produce enzymes like lipases. This enzyme can be applied in various type of industry including pharmaceutical industries, food industries, cosmetics industries and others. Using palm ker

Broga Hill is well known as a famous hill for outdoor recreational activities. The hill is fully surrounded by visitors from all over Malaysia especially during weekends and public holidays. Moreover, the hill provides a serene view of Semenyih town from the top of the hill which is fully covered with abandoned wild cogon grass. However, Broga Hill

Malaysia has obtained its independence since 60 years ago and agriculture has contributed substantially to its gross domestic product. The Malaysian tropical climate is very favourable for the production of various exotic fruits and vegetables, especially since Peninsular Malaysia seldom experiences hurricanes or droughts. Agricultural Park is a un

This book discussed the para-social interaction between young adults of IIUM and public figures of their choice. It considers the power distance as the determining factor that influence the para-social interaction between them. On another aspect, this study also looks at the attitudes that the young adults develop towards the public figures based o
