Common belief in topical formulation is about 60% of the active is absorbed without putting into consideration the excipients in the formulation. Despite of effectiveness of an active in exerting its cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical effects, adequate formulations for the active still need to be designed for successful delivery to the target sites.

Today, the use of mobile devices has increased tremendously in all aspects of daily life. It has also provided older people with better means of communication, which allows them to connect with their family and social groups. However, they face challenges in using mobile devices due to their age-related physical limitations and unfamiliarity of var

This study examines how regulation on performance measurement and goal orientation affect the utilisation of performance measurement in the context of a developing country’s local governments. This study is based on a cross-sectional survey participated by 163 manager of local government agencies managers in East Java, Indonesia, using a structur

tCentella asiatica (‘Pegaga’ = Malaysia) is well known plant that has been used as one of the ingredientsin pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Using liquid chromatography with diode array and elec-trospray ionization/mass spectrometry (LC–DAD–ESI/MS) analysis, chemical profiling of three differentPegaga extracts (C. asiatica, H. bonari

Snatch theft is becoming more prevalent in Malaysia nowadays and proper measures must be taken to reduce it. CCTV surveillance systems have been widely used as a street crime prevention tool across public and private areas. Tracking the same object within different cameras' view is essential in many surveillance applications. Recently, most of

Visual surveillance system is an important tool used for monitoring a scene in order to detect any suspicious behavior. Recently, due to the increasing number of cameras, most of the researchers have shown more interest on how to track objects across the cameras. However, the existing algorithms that have been proposed by earlier researchers still

The use of the target language has long been considered an important principle of second language (L2) instruction. Previous research has attempted to quantify the amount of the first language (L1) used in the classroom and has explored the purposes or functions of teachers’ ‘lapses’ into their students’ L1. The purpose of this qualitative

This paper presents a novel hybrid oscillating inductive sensor circuit converting deflection oscillations into useful signal and thus being used to support an oscillatory circuit mechanism and management of their resulting oscillation in a real-time implementation. This circuit does not only detects and optimizes the deflections produced in an osc

Gastro retentive tablets of metformin HCl were prepared based on polymer swelling and gas formation. Combination of HPMC and polyethylene oxide was used as both matrix forming agent and swelling agent, while sodium bicarbonate as gas forming agent. Fabricated tablets were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) utilizing Box Behnken experim

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) has been used in tissue engineering and orthopedics due to its good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, its clinical applications are usually limited by the low strength and brittleness. The objective of this research was to develop Zn-doped BCP composites in which multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) we
