Antioxidants present in herbs and spices could be an effective tool to prevent the non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes and myocardial infarction as they have the capacity to stabilize the free radicals which are one of the causative factors of these diseases. This study aims to quantify the total phenolic and flavonoid content of common

Infections in critically ill patients are associated with persistently poor clinical outcomes. These patients have severely altered and variable antibiotic pharmacokinetics and are infected by less susceptible pathogens. Antibiotic dosing that does not account for these features is likely to result in suboptimum outcomes. In this Review, we explore

PURPOSE: To investigate grader learning effect and to quantify intergrader reproducibility of Doppler Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) derived retinal blood flow measurements. METHODS: Fifteen healthy young subjects (mean age 28.44; SD 3 years) underwent Doppler SD-OCT scans of one eye using the circumpapillary double circular

Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a well-known bioactive lipid that is able to activate signalling cascades relevant to cell proliferation, migration, survival and tumorigenesis. Our previous work suggested that LPI is involved in cancer progression since it can be released in the medium of Ras-transformed fibroblasts and can function as an autocri

Additional of fiber in concrete creates fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with an improvement of the mechanical properties of the concrete. However, fiber incorporation in FRC is limited to 2% to allow normal mixing procedure. To address this issue, high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is introduced and it is relatively new in construct

Recently, incorporation of cement replacement material (CRM) in concrete has gained considerable attention throughout the world. It is known that the commonly used CRM in current concrete industry is silica fume (SF), pulverized fuel ash (PFA) and rice husk ash (RHA). RHA is an agricultural waste from rice milling process. Rice farming activities i

It has been more than a year since the last cultural ‘flare-ups’ took place between Malaysia and Indonesia. Undeniably, the concept of serumpun has always been a major factor underlying the relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia. How far has the concept of serumpun influenced the solidarity of both Malaysians and Indonesians today? Comment

Objectives: Although many methods of chronological age (CA) estimation have been developed, dental age (DA) from development of tooth was found less environmentally influenced. The radiographic assessment on tooth development is considered to be more reliable than other methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of Camerie

In this paper, we study a bi-quadratic equation x^4 + ax^2 = b over p-adic fields Q_p. It is worth of mentioning that the bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is not solvable in the real number field R. However, the same bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is solvable some p-adic fields such as p = 17, 41, ... Therefore, it is of independent interest to

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults. With the case studies, this study examines the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults. With a number of case studies, the study shows how debt restructuri
