Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the morphological characteristics and physical strength of the Malaysian cricket batsmen.Methods: Twenty four top order batsmen from the Malaysian senior, under-19s and under-16s cricket team were recruited for the study.Twenty six anthropometric, four somatotype and two physical strength variabl
A conditional knockout-rescue system was developed to construct an in-frame deletion strain of Escherichia coli essential genes.The target was flanked with marker genes and FRT (FLP recognition target) sites, and a plasmid containing arabinose-induced slate vcc FLP recombinase was transformed.After arabinose induction, cells could survive only when
COVID-19 has caused a devastating impact on public health and made the development of the COVID-19 vaccination a top priority.Herd immunity through vaccination requires a sufficient number of the population to be vaccinated.Research on factors that promote intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccination is warranted.Based on Diffusion of Innovations
We use the works of Diogenes and Zeno to argue that the cosmopolitan world view remains torn between negation and conformation; between anti-conventional resistance against and super-conventional organization of power.In their separate codes and relations to convention, Diogenes and Zeno expose complementary and conflictual sides of cosmopolitanism
A deformation measurement system for laboratory soil testing based on stereophotogrammetric image analysis was developed with a purpose of characterising soil behaviour continuously from small to large red skeleton tarantula strains.The system is applicable to triaxial tests with pressure chamber and confining fluid by correcting the refraction-ind
