Bribery and Corruption from a Shariah Perspective (2013)

The on-going campaign Malaysia is waging against corruption has gained momentum. Tunku Abdul Aziz called it an â€œAll-Malaysian dutyâ€ in which everyone should take part regardless of political affiliation (NST, 5 January, 2013). I would also add that it is an all-Muslim duty and an appeal to the religious conscience of the Muslims of this country. Playing a proactive role in this campaign is a veritable E?amal salih, the right moral action that the Qurâ€™an repeatedly enjoins upon all Muslims. It is also an act with great societal benefit that elevates the standing of the ummah and Malaysia in the international community. Fighting bribery (rashwah) and corruption (fasad) is an integral part of the teachings of the Qurâ€™an and hadith.

High-pressure x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering studies on scandium tungstate $[{\mathrm{Sc}}_{2}{(\mathrm{W}{\mathrm{O}}_{4})}_{3}]$ show that it transforms to a monoclinic phase at $\ensuremath{\sim}0.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$. The high-pressure phase has $P{2}_{1}∕a$ symmetry and is related to the initial orthorhombic phase through cell doubling along the $c$ axis. The compound undergoes another phase transition at $\ensuremath{\sim}1.6\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$, accompanied by a volume reduction of $\ensuremath{\sim}8%$. At $\ensuremath{\sim}6.5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$, the diffraction pattern and Raman spectra of ${\mathrm{Sc}}_{2}{(\mathrm{W}{\mathrm{O}}_{4})}_{3}$ indicate the emergence of a disordered crystalline state which evolves into an amorphous phase beyond $\ensuremath{\sim}14\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$. The structural changes are found to be reversible up to $\ensuremath{\sim}1.6\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$. However, transformation to the amorphous state is found to be irreversible, though our results suggest some structural relaxation on release of pressure.
X-band GaAs mHEMT LNAs with 0.5 dB noise figure (2004)

Two X-band LNA ICs have been demonstrated using a 0.15 /spl mu/m metamorphic GaAs HEMT technology. The amplifiers have an average noise figure of 0.5 dB and power gain greater than 31 dB from 7-10 GHz. A current-shared version had gain flatness better than 1 dB, return losses greater than 11 dB, and power consumption of 42 mW. A high linearity version has an output third-order intercept point greater than 20.5 dBm from 6-12 GHz.
Purification process to obtain cathepsin D, B and L suitable to be used in food industry (1996)

The use of enzymes in the food industry allows the improvement of the manufacture and quality of the products. To date, enzymes have not been widely used in the meat industry. To permit a further study of the role and application of cathepsins, a purification process of cathepsins B, D and L from porcine cardiac muscle has been developed. The protocol applied was: extraction of enzyme from porcine cardiac muscle, using 3% NaCl, 15 mM HCl; and ammonium sulfate fractionation and a subsequent purification by gel filtration, ultrafiltration and ion exchange. This easy to scale‐up procedure, which may permit the application of the purified enzymes as food additives, made it possible to obtain cathepsins B, L and D separately, with a recovery of 21.60%, 18.24% and 3.68% respectively. The degree of purity was 29.84 and 8.32 for cathepsin B and cathepsin L respectively.
Impact of Alcohol Intoxication on Hemodynamic, Metabolic, and Cytokine Responses to Hemorrhagic Shock (2002)

These results indicate marked alterations in the hemodynamic and metabolic responses to hemorrhagic shock by alcohol intoxication. Furthermore, our findings suggest that alcohol modulates the early proinflammatory responses to hemorrhagic shock. Taken together, these alterations in metabolic and inflammatory responses to hemorrhage are likely to impair immediate outcome and predispose to tissue injury.

Optimization of cultural conditions for production of chitinase by Bacillus laterosporous MML2270 isolated from rice rhizosphere soil (2008)

A total of 39 chitinolytic bacteria were isolated from 77 rhizosphere soil samples collected from different crop fields in Tamil Nadu state, India. Among them, a strain designated as MML2270, which produced highest chitinolytic activity in primary and secondary screening in colloidal chitin agar was selected and later identified as Bacillus laterosporous. The production of chitinase by B. laterosporous was optimized using different growth media, substrate concentrations, pH, temperature and incubation period. The maximum chitinase production was observed in yeast nitrogen based medium (YNB) amended with 0.3% colloidal chitin at pH 8.0 and 35°C after four days of inoculation. Under this optimized growth condition, B. laterosporous MML2270 produced a total chitinase activity of 59.05 units/ml as against only 19.7 units/ml in the initial YNB medium stage, which is a three-fold increase.

A Voice Interactive Multilingual Student Support System using IBM Watson (2019)

Systems powered by artificial intelligence are being developed to be more user-friendly by communicating with users in a progressively “human-like” conversational way. Chatbots, also known as dialogue systems, interactive conversational agents, or virtual agents are an example of such systems used in a wide variety of applications ranging from customer support in the business domain to companionship in the healthcare sector. It is becoming increasingly important to develop chatbots that can best respond to the personalized needs of their users, so that they can be as helpful to the user as possible in a real human way. This paper investigates and compares three popular existing chatbots API offerings and then propose and develop a voice interactive and multilingual chatbot that can effectively respond to users’ mood, tone, and language using IBM Watson Assistant, Tone Analyzer, and Language Translator. The chatbot was evaluated using a use case that was targeted at responding to users’ needs regarding exam stress based on university students survey data generated using Google Forms. The results of measuring the chatbot effectiveness at analyzing responses regarding exam stress indicate that the chatbot responding appropriately to the user queries regarding how they are feeling about exams 76.5%. The chatbot could also be adapted for use in other application areas such as student info-centers, government kiosks, and mental health support systems.
Effect of investigational kisspeptin/metastin analog, TAK-683, on luteinizing hormone secretion at different stages of the luteal phase in goats (2017)

This study aimed to examine the response of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and ovarian steroid profile to TAK-683, an investigational metastin/kisspeptin analog, through treatment during different stages of the luteal phase in goats. Nine cycling Shiba goats (4.4 ± 2.3 years old) were assigned to early luteal phase (ELP, n = 4), mid-luteal phase (MLP, n = 4), and control (n = 5) groups. The ELP and MLP groups were administered 50 µg of TAK-683 intravenously on either day 5 or between days 7-14 after ovulation, respectively. The control group received vehicle between days 7-14 after ovulation. Blood samples were collected at 10-min (2-6 h), 2-h (6-24 h), and 24-h (24-96 h) intervals after treatment. Significant increases in plasma LH concentration were detected during the periods of 3 to 5 h and 2 to 5 h in the ELP and MLP groups, respectively. Estradiol concentrations continuously increased with the rise of basal LH secretion after TAK-683 treatment in two goats of the ELP group with a surge-like release of LH, but not in the goats without LH surge, i.e. the MLP and control group ones. Plasma progesterone concentration and the lengths of estrous cycle in all groups did not change significantly from the time before and after treatment. Present findings indicate that the responses of LH and ovarian steroids to treatment with TAK-683 depend on the stage of the luteal phase of the estrous cycle. We suggest that the stimulatory effects of TAK-683 on LH secretion are reduced in the process leading to the mid-luteal phase in cycling goats.
Overrepresentation of 8q in Carcinosarcomas and Endometrial Adenocarcinomas (2004)

We report on genomic imbalances in 19 uterine and extrauterine carcinosarcomas and comparisons with findings in 7 endometrial adenocarcinomas using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). In the carcinosarcomas, the number of imbalances ranged from 2 to 27. Overrepresentations predominated over losses (mean, 5.8 vs 4.3) and included gains or amplifications at 8q as the single most frequent change in 15 of 19 carcinosarcomas, followed by overrepresentations at 3q (9/19), 1q (7/19), 6p (7/19), and 12p (7/19). Losses were most common at 22q (9/19), 16q (8/19), 15q (7/19), 18q (7/19), Xp (6/19), and 9q (6/19). Among 3 carcinosarcomas in which carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements could be analyzed separately, gains of 8q were identified in both components of one tumor and in the sarcomatous component of another tumor. Additional CGH analyses of 7 endometrial adenocarcinomas revealed simpler copy number changes, including recurrent gains at 8q (4/7) and 1q (4/7), suggesting a central role of 8q gains in the pathogenesis of carcinosarcomas and endometrial adenocarcinomas.
Enhancing rack servers air cooling capability with extra system inlet airflow through air ducts between racks (2017)

There is often thermal challenge to keep Central Processing Unit (CPU) temperature within its design specification for rack server systems with air cooling solution, due to the growing demand for higher CPU performance and the ever-increasing CPU thermal design power (TDP). This paper provides an approach to enhancing system air cooling capability of servers mounted on a rack, addressing the challenge of meeting thermal design target. In this paper, extra system inlet airflow is provided to servers from both sides of racks, and the temperature of the extra system inlet airflow is lower than the temperature of an existing rack server system inlet airflow. This means either CPUs temperature can be lowered or the server systems using this approach can support higher CPU TDP and accordingly higher performance. The areas discussed in this paper include: how to design venting holes on both sides of racks, how to avoid the extra system inlet airflow being impacted by the rack's hot exhaust air, how to reduce server system fans inlet airflow temperature, and how to design extra system inlet airflow ducts. Thermal test result with a 2U (1U =1.75-inch ) rack server using the approach shows that at system fans full speed, the server system's overall airflow rate increases by 15.3%, the server system fans inlet airflow temperature decreases by 2.5°C, and CPUs case temperature decreases by 5.6°C as compared to existing air cooling solution. When the approach is applied for thicker rack server systems with larger side vents, a larger system airflow rate can be achieved for the rack servers, CPUs case temperature can be reduced more and higher performance CPU with higher TDP can be supported accordingly.
<b>Estimating soybean yields with artificial neural networks (2018)

The complexity of the statistical models used to estimate the productivity of many crops, including soybeans, restricts the use of this practice, but an alternative is the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs). This study aimed to estimate soybean productivity based on growth habit, sowing density and agronomic characteristics using an ANN multilayer perceptron (MLP). Agronomic data from experiments conducted during the 2013/2014 soybean harvest in Anápolis, Goiás State, B razil, were used to conduct this study after being normalized to an ANN-compatible range. Then, several ANNs were trained to choose the best-performing one. After training the network, a performance analysis was conducted to select the ANN with a performance most appropriate for the problem, and the selected network had a 98% success rate with training data and a 72% data validation accuracy. The application of the MLP to the data used in the experiment shows that it is possible to estimate soybean productivity based on agronomic characteristics, growth habit and population density through AI.
Local to Global Optimization Algorithm for Hexahedral Mesh Quality (2014)

AbstractThe quality of finite element meshes is one of the key factors that affects the accuracy and reliability of finite element analysis results. In order to improve the quality of hexahedral meshes, a local to global hexahedral mesh optimization algorithm is presented. A double octahedron based geometric transformation is used to regularize a hexahedron locally, and regular hexahedral elements are obtained for all meshes. On the basis of local operations, these regular hexahedral meshes can be further stitched and optimized by iteratively minimizing a quadric energy function, which composed of two main terms. One part is the node internal force which ensures the connectivity of regular hexahedral meshes and another is the geometric constraint which keeps the shape of original model. Applications show that the proposed algorithm is stable, and the hexahedral mesh quality is highly improved.
Abdominovaginal Sacral Colpoperineopexy (2007)

In Brief Objectives: We evaluate whether the abdominovaginal sacral colpoperineopexy procedure results in improvement in quality of life (QoL) using 2 validated condition-specific instruments. Methods: This is a prospective analysis of 49 consecutive patients who underwent the abdominovaginal sacral colpoperineopexy (AVSCP). Twenty-nine patients were scheduled to undergo the open AVSCP and 20 patients were scheduled to undergo the laparoscopically assisted AVSCP. Change in QoL was evaluated using self-administered Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7). Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POPQ) measurements were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: There was a clinically significant short (6 weeks postoperative) and long-term (6 months postoperative) improvement in postoperative scores for both the PFDI-20 and the PFIQ-7. All POPQ points at 6 months post-surgery improved (P < 0.005) for both groups. Conclusion: The AVSCP results in clinically important improvement in quality of life scores. The abdominovaginal sacral colpoperineopexy is a combined abdominal and vaginal vault suspension procedure that results in significant improvement in patients’ quality of life.
Effect of the Calcium Antagonist Nimodipine on Local Cerebral Blood Flow: Relationship to Arterial Blood Pressure (1984)

The effect of the calcium antagonist nimodipine on local CBF in 31 regions of the CNS was studied with the [14C]iodoantipyrine autoradiographic technique in lightly anaesthetised, mechanically ventilated rats. Continuous intravenous infusion of nimodipine (1, 2, or 4 micrograms kg-1 min-1) produced a dose-dependent reduction in MABP (reduced by 26 +/- 2% after 30 min of nimodipine, 4 micrograms kg-1 min-1) and a significant elevation in plasma glucose concentration (increased by 44 +/- 2% after 30 min of nimodipine, 4 micrograms kg-1 min-1). Local CBF was increased significantly during infusions of nimodipine (1 microgram kg-1 min-1) in 9 of the 31 regions examined (including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and most thalamic nuclei). In contrast to the increases in CBF observed in forebrain regions, no significant increases in CBF were observed during nimodipine infusions in regions of the lower brainstem, cerebellum, and pons or in myelinated fibre tracts. The proportionately greatest increases in local CBF were observed during infusions of the lowest dosage of nimodipine (1 microgram kg-1 min-1), suggesting either that this dosage provokes maximum cerebrovascular relaxation or that effects of increasing concentrations are counteracted by the concomitant systemic hypotension.
