Green home rating has emerged as an important agenda to practice the principles of sustainability. In Malaysia, the establishment of the ‘Green Building Index – Residential New Construction’ (GBI-RNC) has brought this agenda closer to the stakeholders of the local green building industry. GBI-RNC focuses on the evaluation of the environmental impacts posed by houses rather than assessing the Tr...

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a constructivist learning method designed to shift the focus of time spent in classroom from lecturing student-led small group sessions. With TBL applied operating room, students can have opportunity closely observe application knowledge they acquired and even actively participate application. In addition, it should be kept mind that possibility situations may get o...

Thiols are important molecules to control apoptosis. This study examined the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) on in vitro spontaneous apoptosis of human tonsillar B lymphocytes (TBL). Results show that NAC inhibits TBL apoptosis and maintains their survival in vitro. The antiapoptotic action of NAC is progressively reduced when its addition to culture is delayed, is reversible, and is not bl...

To respond to the digital building environment and Industry 4.0 in information modeling (BIM)-based mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) systems this study developed a new approach engineering capstone projects. This article reports on case of development innovative project for majors, which is based team-based learning (TBL) combined with 360-degree evaluation feedback method cultivate stude...

Heat flux from the core to mantle provides driving energy for convection thus powering plate tectonics, and contributes a significant fraction of geothermal heat budget. Indirect estimates core-mantle boundary flow are typically based on petrological evidence temperature, interpretations temperatures indicated by seismic travel times, experimental measurements mineral melting points, physical m...
