This article presents evidence to the need for Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) to construct students’ identity in the Malaysian classrooms. Since an important objective of education is to prepare individuals to exercise efficaciously in their environment, all students in multicultural society could benefit from exposure to CRT (Gay, 2000). I

In recent times, vibration based energy harvesting has drawn attention of many researchers worldwide. This is due to advancement in Microelectromechanical (MEM) devices and wireless sensors with power requirements in range of microwatts-milliWatts; hence vibration energy sources have promising potentials for such demands. Thus, many attempts were m

Current need for cost and energy savings increases the demand for accurate measurement of mass flow rate. Measuring flow rate through a pipe is an important process in many industries, such as natural gas transport, feeding systems in petrochemicals, automotive and hydraulic applications. Pressure differential devices such as orifice plate are used

Ischemic heart disease (IHD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is a multifactorial disease arising from the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. There is considerable evidence that nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in protecting against atherosclerosis, the process underlying IHD ( Spence et al., 2004). Endothelial-d

Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies in young adults. Among all types of skin cancers, malignant melanoma is the most serious tumor in terms of local invasiveness and mortality rate. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of enzymes are key enzymes responsible for the degradation of extra cellular matrix components and their role in tu

يصدق على الدعاة المسلمين في هذا العصر ما صدق على غيرهم من الدعاة في العصور الماضية في اعتبارهم مرآة عاكسة للتيارات الفكرية التي يعاصرونها، ولا شك في أن مسألة تطابق الحقائق العلمية المكتشفة حد�

An Investigation on Non- Academic Digital Literacy Practices of University Students with Implications for English Academic Writing A corollary of the advent of technology is that university and college students have somewhat shifted in their presentation and writing of assignments on their courses. This topic of investigation is important because t

In this research, the antibacterial property of both crude and membrane processed seed extracts were investigated against Escherichia coli, Pseudosomonas aeruginosa Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The defatted seeds were prepared with water and the water extract obtained was passed through 0.45?m microfiltration membrane system. The an

In order to develop environmentally friendly conductive polymer composites, polylactic acid (PLA) was melt blended with natural rubber (NR), with addition of carbon black (CB) as the conductive filler. It was found that the PLA/NR blends were immiscible, and the sea-island and co-continuous morphological structures were observed at PLA/NR with rati

Urbanization leads to positive and negative impacts on the society. While it accelerates economic growth, it also brings negative impact to the environment and people‘s health. The growth of urbanization is unavoidable; therefore, sustainability needs to be maintained to preserve the liveability of urban dwellers. The intention of this study is t
