Anton piller order : Its growth and development / Abd Karim Rahman Hamzah
An injunction is an order by the Court to a party with effect that he shall do or refrain from doing a particular act. In England, the jurisdiction is governed by the Court of Judicature Act 1925. In Malaysia the Specific Relief Act 1950 (Revised 1974) granted to the High Court, the discretion to grant temporary or perpetual injunction. The Anton Piller Order is a new development in the law of injunction. It came into being after the case Anton Piller KG. Vs Manufacturing Process Ltd (1976) I All E.R. 779 which laid down the foundation for the Anton Piller Order
Role of magnesium in essential hypertension
Beneficial role of magnasium supplementation in prevention of complications in coronary artery disease (Iseri,1984) in ischaemic heart disease (Altura,1988) and in the treatment
of patients with AMI (Abraham,1990) has been well documented. One study showed that magnesium supplementation reduced arterial blood pressure in patients with
hypertension (Dykner& Waster,1983).Renin profiling, nevertheless,has revealed higher,and lower magnesium levels in low renin and high renin hypertensives respectively
(Resnick LM et a1 1983).The significance of this seems to be that the influence of magnesium intake on blood pressure may differ according to the underlying state of magnesium metabolism in hypertensive patients. These observations remain largely unconfirmed. Recently it has been reported that a disordered metabolism of magnesium and calcium ions is present in women with pregnancy induced hypertension
(Singh, HJ 1993).So the objective of this study was to investigate the magnesium status in serum, erythrocyte
and in urine of untreated hypertensive patients. Work was further extended to investigate the relationship between serum and urinary magnesium levels,plasma renin activity
(PRA) and plasma renin concentration (PRC) in normotensive and age and sex-matched untreated hypertensives
Aids in physics: Design and development
Electricity is found to be a difficult topic to learn due to its abstract concepts. Research showed that games based learning using dioramas can help students to interest and enhance students’ understanding in learning abstract Physics topics. As a result, PhyKER Games was developed in order to assist students in the learning of the Electricity circuit topic. ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation) as instructional design and develope of PhyKER Games. Dioramas were added in PhyKER Games to depict real scenes. The information delivery and the flow of content follow the ADDIE phases theory. It is hoped that the PhyKER Games would be able to assist students in the learning of Electricity circuit terms of concept understanding and motivation level
Storage stability of spray-dried tilapia meat powder produced under optimized condition
In this study, gelation characteristics, colour, moisture and water activity of spray-dried tilapia powder (SDTP) packed in polyethylene pouches under aerobic conditions were evaluated under refrigerated, ambient and accelerated storage conditions for up to 90 days. The spray dried powder contained 2.63% moisture, had least gelation concentration (LGC) of 8.67% and water activity of 0.255. The L*, b* and a* values of spray-dried tilapia powder was found to be 97.69, 1.51 and 0.12, respectively. At refrigerated storage temperature (4°C), the LGC ranged between 8-10% up to 90 days (p0.05) when stored at 4°C and 10°C for up to 90 days The L value was found to decrease gradually (p<0.05) when stored at ambient and elevated temperatures and the most reduction was observed for the highest storage temperature of 60°C. The darkest powder with L* value of 85.4 was observed for powders stored at 60°C for 90 days. The moisture adsorption by SDTP was observed under refrigerated and ambient temperature, even though the value was still below 5% after 90 days of storage. However, under accelerated storage condition of 40°C and 60°C, the moisture content of the powder tends to decrease until 45 days and then slightly increased due to clumping of powder. Water activity also showed similar trend and lowest and highest value obtained was varied between 0.093-0.470. The half-life of the spray-dried tilapia powder kept at 10°C, ambient temperature and elevated temperature at 40°C were predicted to be approximately 14 months, 5 months and two and half months, respectively

Web-based Risk Assessment Technique for Time and Cost Overrun (WRATTCO) – A Framework
AbstractControlling time and cost overrun of construction projects is very crucial in achieving successful completion of any projects. Unfortunately, construction industry today is facing a major risk in achieving completion of project within estimated time and cost. This risk is caused by various factors. Aiming to treat this problem, this study presents a framework for web-based expert and decision support system in order to assess the risk level of causative factors of time and cost overrun on project success throughout the lifecycle of construction process. It will be integrated with project schedule to estimate the consequences of these factors and forecast the loss of time and cost if the risk factors are not controlled. This will be achieving by implanting the technique of neural network. The program will also be able to suggest the corrective actions in order to control the identified risk factors. Finally, various reports can be generated in presenting the associated problems of the factors and their relative impact of project performance

Effects of drying methods on total phenolic contents and antioxidant capacity of the pomelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck) peels
Pomelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck) is an important cultivar of the Citrus genus, which contains a number of nutrients advantageous to human health. Non-edible parts of pomelo consist of flavedo, albedo, lamella and waste obtained from juice extraction (pulp waste). The peels are also thought to be part of waste products, which generally being discarded. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate changes in total phenolic contents (TPC) and antioxidant activity of processed pomelo peels after oven drying (50 and 60 °C) and freeze drying treatments in comparison with fresh pomelo peels. A slightly different (4%–6%) in TPC was observed in oven dried pomelo peels in comparison with fresh peels, indicating that there was a slightly effect of post-drying methods on retaining the antioxidant potential of these natural byproducts. In vitro assays revealed that post-drying methods involved oven drying exerted a higher TPC compared to freeze drying in overall parts of pomelo byproducts. Highest retention of bioactive compounds was found in fresh pomelo peels (437–1876 mg GAE/100 g DM), followed by oven dried at 50 and 60 °C (892–1336 mg GAE/100 g DM), and freeze dried (555–1267 mg GAE/100 g DM). In terms of oven dried pomelo byproducts, the highest TPC was retained in albedo (1337 mg GAE/100 g DW), followed by flavedo (1226 mg GAE/100 g DW), lamella (998 mg GAE/100 g DW) and pulp waste (962 mg GAE/100 g DW) respectively. Therefore, oven drying was the most suitable post-drying method to retain the bioactive compounds for pomelo byproducts. This knowledge may inspire consumer or pomelo industry operators to re-evaluate their byproducts, reduce the waste and expand the application of pomelo fruits
