Objective: Quantification of medicinal plant, N. sativa oil, in biodegradable nanoparticles fabricated from PLGA and chitosan was impossible due to the difficulty in the oil extraction-partition method of which the nanoparticle did not dissolve in any solvent. Methods: FTIR method was developed to quantify the loading efficiency of NSO from the int

In regression analysis, a special and most attention must be paid on assumption validating the model obtained from a sample drawn from a population. The ultimate objective of any regression model is in fact, making some inference on the population. To use the model effectively and discover (make inference) the unknown population, the model should h

Introduction The prevalence of administration sets (AS) used for peripheral arterial catheter (PAC) of critically ill patients is not known, however, approximately six million PACs were placed yearly in the USA (Gowardman et al., 2010) which can estimate the use of AS for PAC to be at least the same number. Most recent research has investigated the

Researches in life constitute a chain where every ring of it should be verified and validated. Statistics and its tools are widely used in researches regardless to the area of application. Nowadays, we can hardly find any research work without using statistical packages or tool to reach a result and interpret them. The objective of this paper is to

Microwave communication systems are planned to utilize orthogonal polarization. Two independent information channels of the same frequency band sent over a single link to make an optimum use of the frequency spectrum. However, above 10 GHz, the amount of rain aloft can severely degrade the performance of both satellite and terrestrial links, especi

Since the effect of global warming and climate changes are becoming serious issues nowadays, most countries are trying to develop their own green highway rating system in order to implement the sustainable practices on their highway.Several studies have discussed the issues relating to the sustainable rating system, but no major study has been cond

Pterygium is a growth on the eye that can cause blindness, with countries closer to the equator showing higher rate of incidence. However, there is a lack of research to study the severity and properties of the tissue. We propose the use of Generalized Neural Network (GRNN) to objectively quantify redness of the fibrovascular tissue. Comparative an

In this paper, a couple circuits are used to transfer power by magnetic inductive resonance or wireless inductive power transfer method where the individual nodes are batteryless to make them maintenance free. Magnetic inductive resonance mainly works on Electromagnetic field induced between two coils that are tuned to resonate at the same frequenc

A number of quasi-periodic and pseudo-random acoustic stimuli, such as the Q-sequence (QSD) and maximum length sequences (MLS), have been proposed to improve the acquisition efficiency of the auditory brainstem response (ABR). However, these methods are only optimal under the assumption that the ABR is acquired from a linear, time-invariant system,

This paper aims to discuss the issue of alternatives to custodial sentences from a maqasidi approach. It assesses the consistency of this concept with the philosophy of Islamic criminal legislation and the viability of its application in light of the concept of crime and punishment in Islamic law. In doing so, the paper define custodial sentences i
