Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity from potential Malaysian medicinal plants as remedies for gout by Azmi, Saiful Mohammad Nizam, Jamal, Parveen, Amid, Azura

“…Ninety-nine percent of the crude extracts were found to have XO inhibitory activity at 100 μg/ml, and 57% showed greater than 50% inhibition. On the basis of availability and sustainability, distilled water extract of Carica papaya leaves was selected for optimization of process conditions, namely, extraction temperature (⁰C), extraction time (hour), agitation speed (rpm), and ratio of sample to the solvent (1 g/ml) using Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) from Design Expert© v.6.0.8 software. …”

Secondary metabolites and bioactivity studies of Garcinia griffithii plant by Kamal, Tara, Omar, Muhammad Nor, Darnis, Deny Susanti, Taher, Muhammad

“…It was found that the polar extracts, i.e. methanol and ethyl acetate, showed higher antimicrobial activities than the non polar (hexane) extract. The results of screening test for phytochmicals showed that the leave extract of the plant possessed the active principles e.g. terpenoids, tannins,alkaloids saponins and glycosides. …”

Effects of cultivars and starch preparation methods on Japanese potato starch properties by Noda, Takahiro, Suzuki, Tatsuro, Hashimoto, Naoto, Nagasawa, Koichi, Yamauchi, Hiroaki, Sarker, Md. Zaidul Islam

“…We found that starches of Hokkaikogane and Eniwa, both with a measurably higher phosphorus content, displayed significantly higher peak viscosity and breakdown than those of Benimaru and Norin No. 1. Even within the same cultivar, the starch preparation method has a significant impact on peak viscosity and breakdown. …”

Fuzzy knowledge-based model for prediction of traction force of an electric golf car by Rahman, Mohammed Ataur, Hossain, Altab, Alam, A. H. M. Zahirul, Rashid, Muhammad Mahbubur

“…Results show that the mean relative error of actual and predicted values from the FLS model on TF is found as 7%, which is less than the acceptable limit of 10%. The goodness of fit of the prediction value from FLS is found close to 1.0 as expected and hence shows the good performance of the developed system. …”

Fine-granulated FEC code for IPTV I-frames over wireless DVB-T channels by Arif, Manar Sami, Habaebi, Mohamed Hadi, Hwegy, Yousef

“…This phenomena motivates the development of frame-selective fine - granulated FEC schemes in the application layer at the frame level (e.g., GOP) rather than the PHY layer packet level. The objective ofthis letter is to confirm this hypothesis by investigating the GOP peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and the bit energy to the noise energy (Et/No) performance for different bit error rate (BER) levels using such fine-granuled Reed-Solomon (RS) FEC coding and Interleaving at the video source before being passed down to the PHY layer. …”
