Qigong and cancer survivors - a three-armed randomized controlled study
For decades, Qigong, a Chinese form of exercise, has been widely acknowledged by many Asian cancer survivors as a potent health-promoting physical activity. However, there is a lack of evidence on its effectiveness. In addition, lifestyle factors including physical activity participation is now a recommended guideline in cancer survivors care plan, to optimize potential benefits in reducing cancer recurrence and mortality.

Neural networks for Nyquist plots prediction in a nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (PEO - LiPF6 EC - CNT)
A model has been developed which can predict the nyquist plot of nanocomposite polymer electrolyte system (PEO - LiPF6 EC - CNT). The generalization ability of the neural network is the basic consideration of this paper. It was observed that bayesian neural network found successful in prediction of experimental results instead of time-consuming studies

Effects of various LiPF6 salt concentrations on PEO based solid polymer electrolytes
PEO based polymer electrolyte systems with various weight percent of LiPF6 has been synthesized using solution cast technique. The system with 20 wt%. LiPF6 exhibits a maximum conductivity of 10-5 S cm-1 at room temperature. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity of the electrolytes obeys the VTF relationship. At the molecular level, FTIR studies provide strong evidence that there is a specific interaction between PEO and LiPF6. The change in peak intensity, shape and position confirms the complexation process of PEO-LiPF6 systems. The DSC curves indicate that the addition of various wt%. of LiPF6 on polymer electrolytes decreases the melting transition temperature (Tm) and degree of crystallinity of the system.

The Stay Active for Life Study
Approximately 45% of colon cancer and 38% of breast cancer in the USA are reported as preventable every year through better diet, physical activity and weight maintenance (AICR, 2009). Survivor rates for many common cancer are on the rise (Jemal, 2006), due to declining rate of mortality (Mettlin, 1999; Greenlee, 2000), early detection and improved therapy.

Design, fabrication and test of an efficient turbine blade for oscillating water column devices.
The objective of the project was achieved by producing two type of efficient turbine blade by using CFD simulation. These blades are called as uniform and non-uniform of the tip clearance. A new method of a blade fabrication and a light weight of blade material have been purposed. These could be reducing about 50 percent of manufacturing cost as well as reducing the production time. The project has developed a lab scale of water wave simulation to test and measure the efficiency of the turbine blade design. The purpose turbine blades were also tested with our portable wave energy power generator. This portable ocean wave energy power generator was running a field at east coast area at Pantai Bachok Kelantan and at Pantai University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT)

Self-Management Intervention for Malaysian Women with Breast Cancer: Enabling Quality of Life and Participation
Patient self management is an essential part of medical care for chronic diseases, its application with oncology conditions is relatively new. Cancer, particularly breast cancer, has become a form of chronic illness which requires a new model of care.

Research on Oral Health of Orang Asli in Malaysia
Oral Health of the Pribumi Research Group is one of the research clusters at the Faculty of Dentistry. The objectives are to identify the prevalence of oral diseases and practices; their impact on oral health related quality of life, the occlusal trait patterns, their genomic profile in relationship to diseases particularly oral diseases and the specific prevention and promotive approaches appropriate for the target community.

Classification of Purpose Built Office Buildings in Malaysia
A commonly acceptable classification system is non-existent in this country. This NAPREC funded project represents a local initiative to develop a framework for the classification of office buildings in Malaysia.

Malaysian Oral Cancer Database and Tissue Bank (MOCDTB) system
A Malaysian Oral Cancer Database and Tissue Bank (MOCDTB) system was set up to facilitate research in all aspects of oral cancer and precancer including aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, quality of life and basis of genetics to ensure sharing of available resources. This study aims to identify the risk factors, prognostic markers and gene expression of oral cancer and precancer and its impact on patient¿s quality of life.

The Industrial Training Experience: The Perceptions of Industry Towards UM Students
This study was aimed at gauging industrys perception of industrial trainees from UM in relation to their overall performance and on the quality of their soft-skills and attributes. The data were collected through questionnaires where industry evaluators were asked to rate the quality of students on a five-point Likert scale measuring four areas of the trainees skills. The results indicate that the majority of UM students were perceived by industry as having good language and people skills. Nevertheless it is a worrying trend that between 20-28% of the students were only rated as fair for presentation and communication skills in English. Further, a sizeable number of students were perceived as lacking in sufficient expertise in technical skills, problem-solving and analytical skills.
