    Diversification is a strategic method that investors use to optimize risk of portfolio. It is an opportunity by which investors move from micro-firm into macro-firm. The investors' aim is to make an optimal choice that leads to minimization of risk and maximization of return, but the methods that lead to these objectives are not easily achieved. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to minimize risk of portfolio. Firstly, this paper investigates the risk reduction strength of each asset and secondly, it explores the impact of each asset in minimizing risk of portfolio. The assets allocations divulge by Black Litterman model are used to estimate risk of both portfolios and assets. We explore DataStream (Yahoo finance) of Gold, Oil and Natural gas which spans from January, 2010 to September, 2016. It is observed that investing on Gold minimizes higher risk and achieve more benefits than other assets in the portfolio. In view of these facts, it means diversifying in gold acts as hedge/safe haven for investors during economic crisis.

    In this paper, critical illness patients are referred to breast cancer patients. This cancer is developed from the breast tissue. It is developed due to the erratic growth of cells of the breast tissue. In Malaysia, according to the statistics in 2017, one out of 20 individuals has the breast cancer in their life. In order to help the breast cancer patient in choosing the best food in their meal of a whole day, the way on how to use different mathematical programming methods to prepare a proper and healthy planning diet menu that fulfil all the nutrients constraints with the minimum cost for the breast cancer patient will be showed out. In the literature review, previous research for the menu planning, approaches used for the optimization are being reviewed in detail. In methodology, there are two mathematical programming methods that will be applied which are integer programming and binary integer programming methods. There are two sets of data which is 100 food items for small data model and 426 food items for big data model. At the end of this research, it should be able to provide a minimum cost one day menu and weekly menu for the breast cancer patients with the sufficient nutritional value.

    This paper will do a study about brain, electroencephalograph (EEG) and also brainwriting. There are four types of frequency bands produces by human brain like delta, alpha, beta and theta. Every bands have their own spectrum of frequency where it be used for analysing brain activities. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method to measure signal by studying and evaluating the pattern of the brainwaves. The neuron will transfer the signals in the brain and the populations of neurons form pattern of network that form a brainwaves detectable in EEG. While graphology analysis is about the handwriting pattern that will illustrate the personality traits of the person. Everything that is written by the hand is processed from brain where is can give certain frequency bands or waveform for the personality.
