Detail 210Pb analysis of two core samples collected with a gravity corer from the coastal water of Terengganu South China Sea has provided a chronology of the sediments identifying the subtle yet distinct variations in recent sedimentation. This investigation of recent sedimentation with the use of 210Pb analyses is a part of an overall study to ex

In this study, the concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn were determined in muscle, gills and stomach of six fish species caught from Pahang river estuary. These metals concentration were measured by ICP-MS in order to assess the fish contamination with these metals. This study showed that all catfishes (Arius sp.) presented the highest metals content. Ti

Supply chain management(SCM)issues have been popularly discussed in recentyears. However, few papers in past literature have been dedicated to the use the fuzzy multi-objective-game framework for analyzing how the strategic partnership influences individual and global performance in a supply chain. This study formulates a game framework for the inv

In order to model a Wheeled Mobile Robot (WMR) system to improve its maneuverability in a real environment, wheel dynamics, which may violate no-slipping and pure wiling constraints, needs to be studied. In this paper, wheel dynamics with slip is modeled and introduced into the robot overall dynamics. Wheel slip phenomenon is captured and at the sa

Bottom sediment samples from 30 stations of Pahang River estuary collected in April 2008 were analyzed for the concentration of Pb and Cu using the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentrations of Pb and Cu were 74.31 ± 22.97 μg/g dry weights and 18.65 ± 7.65 μg/g dry weights, respectively. In this study, the

The percentage of organic carbon contents of 62 bottom sediments in Pahang river- estuary were analyzed using the wet dichromate oxidation method. The sediments particle sizes at the same stations were also measured using the dry sieving and laser diffraction methods. In this study, the concentrations of organic carbon are relatively higher during

The depletion of petroleum resources coupled with environmental awareness have spurred effort to produce biodegradable materials from natural resources, which is stable during storage and can be safely disposed after their intended time of use. These materials also can form the basis for sustainable and ecoefficient products that often results in l

The information technology (IT) revolution has taken the world by storm. Despite it’s many champions and advocates, IT has left many people feeling confused about its proper place and use. In the Muslim world, attitudes towards IT are quite diverse. On one hand, there are some scholars, particularly those with scientific backgrounds, who eagerly

During the last two decades, the world witnessed a meteoric rise in the role played by the media for influencing human perceptions of other people, places and things. This tremendous influence has had both beneficial and detrimental consequences for individuals and communities across the globe. On one hand, the media has proven to be a valuable sou

An effort to analyze selected heavy metal accumulation by the razor clam (Solen brevis) from Tanjung Lumpur was conducted on January to April 2010. A total of fifty individuals of Razor clam Solen brevis were sampled and metals such as Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganase (Mn), Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) Concentrations were determined using
