In this research paper, SAE-40 lubricating oil samples were contaminated with known percentages (5%) of fuels (diesel, palm-sesame biodiesel blend (B30), B30 + ethanol, B30 + dimethyl carbonate, B30 + carbon nanotubes and, B30 + titanium oxide). The effect

Seed production of marine finfish in Malaysia is still facing problems about the live feed of starter diets. Currently, we use S or SS-type rotifers, which have sizes from 100 to 200μm.
