The critical parameters namely initial pH, time and current density largely impact the process efficiency of electrocoagulation (EC). Few works have been done on observing the interaction of these critical parameters and the possible combined effect on the overall pollutant removal efficiency. Therefore, the knowledge of the combined effect of crit

Plasmonic nanostructured silver silica at an optimum volume ratio of silver silica and constant concentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was successfully synthesized by the sol-gel technique for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) application. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirm that the optimum ratio of the nanostructur

Solid waste management has been a worldwide issue which most countries are finding the best ways to deal with it. Improper waste management poses a threat to the health of individuals and the environment. The general problem is the perception of the local communities towards solid waste management. It is important to analyze the current level of aw

This study briefly reviews the recent advances in membrane and separation technology for antifouling strategies for membrane ultrafiltration. Membrane fouling is inevitable in ultrafiltration due to the eventual membrane pore blockage with foulants. Consequently, flux declines and affects the membrane integrity over time along with elevation in pro

BACKGROUND: Predictive equations (PEs) for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE) that have been developed from acute phase data may not be applicable in the late phase and vice versa. This study aimed to assess whether separate PEs are needed for acute and late phases of critical illness and to develop and validate PE(s) based on the results

Acanthaceae family was used traditionally especially for native communities in Peninsular Malaysia and also known as one of the potential plant families that can cure diseases. Nowadays, many taxonomists also have difficulties in order to identify species in Acanthaceae due to the morphological similarities and also incomplete part of plants especi

Puisi Hati Kecamuk menghimpunkan luahan para pengkarya terhadap apa yang terbuku di dalam hatinya serta perasaan sakit dan pedih dalam banyak perkara. Karya ini merupakan salah satu kaedah yang baik untuk meluahkan perasaan lebih-lebih lagi apabila kita sedang berdepan dengan situasi pandemik kini.Daniel Tajudin Nuwaira Zafira Suhaizi Suhaimi Faqih

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) envisage a potential biomaterial alternative to replacing synthetic polymers for their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Modification approaches exploit the attributes and adjust the intrinsic hydrophobic properties, such as blending to produce a new polymer mix with novel properties. Functionalization of PHA, espec

Hyperpigmentation affects people globally with negative psychological impacts. Piper betle L. leaf (PBL) extract has many benefits including skin lightening which may reduce hyperpig- mentation. The objective of this study was to develop an effective skin-lightening cream containing PBL with ideal characteristics. A formulation of base cream and PB

The pandemic Covid-19 forced all schools across the world to close their doors and shift fully to virtual learning. The sudden shift created challenges and difficulties to students in secondary education. A phenomenological method of inquiry and analysis was used to explain how school students experienced challenges of online learning during Covid-
