Commercialization of Research and Development (R&D) Products, particularly bioinformatics and biotechnology has always being overlooked by the industry and academic sectors. There are some misleading concepts that triggers both these sectors that commercialization of R&D products is not as part of their responsibilities. This is because the

African catfish, Clarias gariepinus is one of the most popular species that being cultured in the world. The advantages to grow rapidly in high density, in poor water quality with good taste make African catfish becoming more important in Africa and Asia finfish culture. However, the major problem of culturing African catfish is the cannibalism. Ca

In this paper, we propose using pilotis in tropical urban areas to harmonize the benefits of modern and traditional housing. The thermal and airflow conditions of a building that has pilotis are compared with those of a building that does not have pilotis, and we examine how the thermal and airflow conditions near the ground floor of the high-rise

The climatic conditions in Malaysia have resulted in small air temperature differences between the indoor and outdoor of naturally ventilated buildings. This has reduced the efficiency of stack ventilation. A viable alternative in enhancing stack ventilation is the utilization of solar induced ventilation. In the present research, solar induced ven

The Program on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS), a new initiative within the ICSU global change programs, aims to integrate research on the stewardship of social–ecological systems, the services they generate, and the relationships among natural capital, human wellbeing, livelihoods, inequality and poverty. The vision of PECS is a world where

This research is mostly motivated by the UNESCO's declaration of the Decade for Education for Sustainable Development. Since the concept of sustainable development plays a vital role in the educational process of many countries around the world, it seems important for Malaysia as one of the main actors of the Association of the South-East Asian

We report the performance characteristics of a high discharge rate zinc-air cell, assembled in a compact, monopolar and bipolar configurations. The use of inorganic MCM-41 membrane enables the construction of a thin, compact cell design with ease. MCM-41 consists of hexagonally-ordered nanopore structure and characterized by its large surface area

A zinc–air cell utilizing an inorganic MCM-41 membrane separator, in its dry form, reveals a unique behavior in response to relative humidity variation. The open circuit voltage (OCV) of the cell shows a linear dependence on relative humidity content. This is due to water adsorption–desorption characteristics of the mesoporous MCM-41 material.

The present work is on the synthesis of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) powder using talc and magnesium oxide powders as the starting materials followed by a heat treatment process. Sintering behavior and mechanical properties of the forsterite bodies were evaluated from 1200ºC to 1500°C. Forsterite phase were detected in samples without any secondary phase

This research paper examines the effects of Islamic integrity concept on corporate governance and human capital development. The research uses Islamic ethical philosophy into the corporate integrity framework for enhancing corporate governance for reputation purpose. This research also contributes to a perspective on the knowledge of promotion of g
