Biosurfactants are surface active compounds that are produced by different microorganisms. This study aims to introduce palm kernel cake as a novel substrate for biosurfactant production using a potent bacterial strain under liquid state fermentation. This study was primarily based on isolation and identification of biosurfactant producing bacteria

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a key enzyme in hyperuricemia, catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and then to uric acid. Excess serum accumulated with uric acid leads to a type of arthritis known as gout. In this study, development of process conditions for XO inhibitory activity from the leaves of Morinda elliptica was performed by usin

Hyper-redundant robot (HRR) manipulators are useful at navigating convoluted paths, but conventionally complicated to control. The control of a hyper-redundant manipulator is complex due to its redundancy. In this paper, a simple but effective control algorithm for obstacle avoidance is proposed. The algorithm derives a collision free path around k
