Chemical Constituents of Murraya Koenigii (Rutaceae) and Their Biological Activities
The study on Murraya koenigii (curry leaf) involves extraction,
separations by using various chromatographic methods and structural
determination by spectroscopic techniques such as IR, NMR including 2D-NMR
and MS. The structures of the compounds were also elucidated by comparison
with the previous work. Isolation works on stem bark of the plant yielded
mahanimbine (31), girinimbine (32), murray anine (47), murrayazoline (48),
murrayacine (49) and sucrose (50). From the leaves, five compounds were
isolated and elucidated. Two of them were long chain compounds, Il-decylhenecosane
(51a) and methoxydotriacontane (51b), isolated as a mixture and the other compounds were mahanimbine (31), ethyl octadecanoate (52) and
mahanine (53).
Further study on the roots of the same plant afforded four compounds
including girinimbine (32), murrayanine (47), together with 3-methylcarbazole
(54) and murrayafoline A(55).Crude extract and isolated compounds from various part of this plant
were screened for antimicrobial activity using disc diffusion method, cytotoxic
activity using rnicrotitration method and antitumor promoting activity using
Epstein B arr virus activation assay. The crude extracts of the roots and pure
isolated compound including mah animbine (31) , girinimbine (32), mahanine
(53) and murrayafoline A (55) exhibited significant cytotoxicity activity against
CEM-SS cell line with IC₅₀ 3 µg/ml. G irinimbine (32), although did not show
any cytotoxic activity against CEM-SS cell line, the compound however
inhibited EBV-activation (100%) in the antitumor promoting assay . The
pet.ether, CHCl₃ and MeOH crude extracts of leaves, the methanol extract of
stem bark, mah animbine (31) and girinimbine (32) failed to show significant
antimicrobial activity, while the pet.ether and the chloroform crude extracts of
the stem bark exhibited weak antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus
Dukungan Emosional Keluarga dengan Kejadian Hipertensi di Puskesmas Cipondoh

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffrey fluid over a stretching vertical surface in a porous medium
This paper presents the study of steady two-dimensional mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretched sheet immersed in a porous medium in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the aid of similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme. The effects of some of the embedded parameters, such as Deborah number β, magnetic parameter M, mixed convection parameter λ, porosity parameter γ and Prandtl number Pr, on the flow and heat transfer characteristics, are given in forms of tables and graphs
Magnetohydrodynamic Three-Dimensional Flow and Heat Transfer over a Stretching Surface in a Viscoelastic Fluid
In this paper, the problem of steady laminar three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching surface in a viscoelastic fluid is investigated. The equations which govern the flow are coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. Various physical governing parameters such as the magnetic parameter M, the material or viscoelastic parameter K and the Prandtl number Pr are considered and the effects of these parameters are investigated. It is found that the material parameter K and the magnetic parameter M present opposite effects on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. The numerical results obtained for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented in tables. The features and profiles of the flow and heat transfer characteristics are illustrated in the forms of graphs
Falkner-skan solution for gravity-driven film flow of a micropolar fluid
In this paper, the steady Falkner-Skan solution for gravity-driven film flow of a micropolar fluid is theoretically investigated. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The results obtained for the skin friction coefficient as well as the velocity and microrotation or angular velocity profiles are shown in table and figures for different values of the material or micropolar parameter K
Mixed convection casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet with Newtonian heating effect
This paper deals with mixed convection of Casson fluid which flows over a
heated surface that has been stretched exponentially. The governing equations that
govern the fluid flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by imposing
suitable similarity variables. Numerical computational was carried out to solve for
the f “(0) and θ (0) for some arbitrary values of the mixed convection parameter λ,
Biot number Bi and Newtonian fluid parameter β when Pr =7
Promoting libraries through wall : Needs, wants and opportunities
Most of the libraries nowadays were changing their promotion strategy by utilizing online social network
such as Facebook as a channel to reach their services to the public. Libraries in Malaysia were not left
behind in using this opportunities as a platform to promote their services towards the patrons a whole. However, there are still some limitations for the libraries in Malaysia to use Facebook applications thoroughly. Libraries in Malaysia need to do some research and observations to the maximum by utilizing the Facebook application in order for them to attract more patrons utilizing the Facebook that was
developed by libraries.Facebook is developed as a medium for the patrons in getting to know the latest information, events, resources, products and services available in the libraries. This paper will focus on the barriers and limitations face by the librarians in using the Facebook towards promoting libraries resources, services, events, products and etc. Moreover, this paper also will discuss on how the libraries in Malaysia promoting their services as compare to the others international libraries. Standard frameworks of Facebook applications will be developed and used by Malaysian Libraries to ensure that they can utilize the Facebook successfully

Variable viscosity of casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet in porous media with Newtonian heating
Casson fluid flow with variable viscosity in porous media over a heated stretching sheet is investigated. The partial differential equations representing the flow motion are first transformed
to ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation before being solved numerically by the finite-difference method. The effects of the viscosity variation parameter (Ω), the permeability number (κ), Prandtl number (Pr), Biot number (Bi) and non-Newtonian fluid parameter (β) on the fluid flow and heat transfer, along with the temperature and velocity profiles, are presented graphically for some arbitrary values
