Mobile Campus Tour Guide for UTP

In line with the advancement of current technology, popularity of mobile tour guide application for universities is growing rapidly among the universities outside of Malaysia. Local universities are currently trying to adapt to this new phenomena. Current method used in exploring places in campus is time consuming and not effective. Common workaround is to look for the signboards or ask around but there are cases where the direction given was wrong and confusing. The objective of this project is to develop an android mobile tour guide application, ‘UTP Campus Tour Guide’, for Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS that provide users with interactive map to help them in exploring UTP. A review of existing mobile tour guide applications reveals diverse design methods were used for developing these applications. The results of careful analysis of these applications informed the design of the proposed application. The application is developed using MIT App Inventor 2 as the platform. A customized map of UTP and specific routes from one location to another location was developed using Google Maps Engine and then tested continuously to ensure its functionality working flawlessly. Users are able to find their preferred destination easily and can have a self-guided tour on their own with the help of this mobile tour guide application. Potential target users for this system will be mainly new students, new staffs and visitors of UTP who are not familiar with places in UTP. This mobile application will act as a map navigator for them to find places in UTP easily

Optimization and determination of Tartrazine by Green Tween-20 cloud point extraction for food samples / Nurulhazirah Mohd Nasir... [et al.]

A simple and low-cost cloud point extraction (CPE) method was developed for the determination of tartrazine in food samples by spectrophotometry detection at a wavelength 427.5 nm. The CPE was performed by utilizing Tween-20 and sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) as extractant and separation accelerator, respectively. Factors that influenced CPE such as surfactant and salt concentrations, pH and temperature were optimized in the context of extracting tartrazine from aqueous media. Under an optimal condition, the proposed CPE was applied for the determination of tartrazine in sweets and concentrated syrup juice, which represented food samples. A CPE-UV-Vis method showed linear calibration within the range of 1-12 mg L -1 of tartrazine with a regression coefficient was 0.9957. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0.88 mg L -1 and 2.96 mg L -1 , respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was found to be < 3.00 %. The amount of tartrazine found in food samples was 1.22-6.12 mg L -1 . The results showed that the proposed CPE method was applicable for the determination of tartrazine in food samples and the tartrazine content in the food samples was permitted according to the guidelines from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Antimicrobial activities of gynura procumbens leaves extract against selected bacteria / Liliwirianis Nawi ...[et al.]

Gynura procumbens or Sambung Nyawa is a tropical plants species from the Asteraceae family. The objectives of this study were to determine antimicrobial activity and Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of G. procumbens leaf extracts against selective Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria. Methanol and hexane were the two extraction solvents that had been used. Four concentrations of extracts; 50 mg/mL, 100 mg/mL, 200 mg/mL, and 400 mg/mL were prepared for antimicrobial activity. Meanwhile for MIC determination, 6.25 mg/mL, 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL and 50 mg/mL concentrations were prepared. By using disc diffusion method, the methanol extract of G. procumbens leaves showed antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to hexane extract. Highest antimicrobial activities were recorded against S. aureus at 400 mg/mL concentrations with 10.5 mm of inhibition zone. Broth dilution assay resulted MIC for methanol crude extract against S. aureus, B. subtilis, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa were at 12.5 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, and 50 mg/mL, respectivel
