Terrestrial laser scanners can rapidly acquire thousands of 3D points over a structure. The individual scan points are of relatively low precision (±2mm – ±50mm) depending on the instrument type. However, combining the dense 3D point data with judicious modelling strategies can produce a very precise surface model. A surface model has advantages for structural deformation monitoring where defle...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE As obesity is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes, lowering lipid accumulation in adipose tissues is as important as increasing insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients. The selected plant extracts used in this screen have been traditionally used in Indonesian medicine for the treatment of diabetes and its complications. AIM OF THE STUDY To invest...

We see the Poincaré series from a cohomological point of view and apply the idea to a finite group G acting on any commutative ring R with unity. For a 1cocycle c of G on the unit group R×, we define a |G|-torsion module Mc/Pc, which is independent of the choice of representatives of the cohomology class γ = [c]. We are mostly interested in determining Mc/Pc where G is the Galois group of a fin...

Quality control of herbal medicines remain a challenging issue towards integrating phytomedicine into the primary health care system. As medicinal plants is a complicated system of mixtures, a rapid and cost-effective evaluation method to characterize the chemical fingerprint of the plant without performing laborious sample preparation procedure is reported. A novel research methodology based o...
