Allicin-induced cellular destruction of haemoflagellate protozoa, Trypanosoma evansi in mice by Abu Hassan, Zainal Abidin, Baba, Mohd Shukri

“…Groups of male ICR mice were infected with a lethal dose of the parasite (1×105 parasites per mouse) and each group was either treated intraperitoneally with berenil (0.01 mL per mouse, a commercial anti-trypanosomal drug) on D+3 post-infection as the positive control group, treated orally with allicin (0.1 mL of 15 µg/mL allicin solution per mouse) for 30 days starting from D-7 pre-infection as the experimental group, or left untreated as the negative control group. Thin-stained blood smears were prepared from each mouse every alternate day, starting from D+3 post-infection and continued until the animal succumbed or until D+90 post-infection. …”

Perennial philosophy in re-understanding Malay mythology and science of symbol by Ahmad, Baharudin

“…This paper will evaluate Malay mythology and the science of symbols from the perennialists point of view by taking into of consideration the various explanations made by scholars like Rene Guenon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Frithjof Schuon, Martin Lings, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr regarding myths, symbols and imageries in traditional thought and literature. …”

Effect of chilled air on tool wear and workpiece quality during milling of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic by Muhamad Khairussaleh, Nor Khairusshima, C.H., Che Hassan, A.G. , Jaharah, A.K.M., Nurul Amin, A.N., Md Idriss

“…At room temperature conditions, it is observed that the wear area is found polished and shining. Under room temperature cutting condition, the wear region is high at higher cutting speeds and feed rates, but in chilled air machining, these types of wear of the carbide tool are found less at higher cutting speeds and feed rates. …”
