Development of fuzzy logic controller for magnetorheological rotary brake system by Rashid, Muhammad Mahbubur, Hussain, Mohamed Azlan, Abd Rahim, Nasrudin, Salami, Momoh Jimoh Emiyoka

“…This effect is the result of changes in the fluid structure: the ferromagnetic particles of the fluid, being single domains, when subjected to an external magnetic field, become orientated and concentrated along the lines of forces of the magnetic Field. The design of the electromechanical converters mentioned above permits the space between the casing and the moving component of the converter to be filled with the magnetorheological fluid. …”

Antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibitory, and cytotoxic activities of Mangifera rufocostata extract and identification of its compounds by LC-MS/ MS analysis by Mustikasari, Kamilia, Santoso, Mardi, Abu Bakar, Mohd Fadzelly, Sri Fatmawati, Sri Fatmawati

“…Antioxidant activity were evaluated by 2-2″-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) tests. α-glucosidase inhibitory to prediction antidiabetic activity, and cytotoxic activity were studied against HT-29, HeLa, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The results showed that the methanol extract have the highest TFC, TPC, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. …”
