Urban climate is modified resulting in its temperature warmer and drier than surrounding sub urban and rural area. One of the major causes of the modification is built environment which is the process of urbanization where vegetated surfaces are converted to asphalt and concrete surfaces. Temperature distribution in urban canopy layer is highly aff

MCM-41 material, prepared by sol–gel method, reveals gel-like properties in a caustic alkaline environment, i.e., 6 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte. The gellation of MCM-41 starts at a KOH weight ratio of 40 wt.%. The structural change of the material is verified with X-Ray diffractograms and supported by observation using Scanning Electr

Urban centres continue to experience escalating average summer temperature over the last fifty years. Temperature in the urban core cites have been rising due to rapid growth of urbanization in the latter half of the twentieth century (Akbari et al., 1989). Outdoor experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of different movement of mater

This poster presents Islamic economics themes in strategic planning for mergers and acquisitions in the Malaysian construction industry. It provides dedicated focus, direction and commitment to organizations to achieve their goals effectively and efficiently. In a competitive market, every firm tries to minimize cost by being efficient so that it c

This study describes a fuel efficient and low emission cost effective hybrid engine for small scale vehicle. The main focus of this study is to downsize engine and improve the fuel consumption and reduce the emission. The proposed engine has been developed with integrating a 4 stroke 70 cc engines, a 12 volt generator, two supercapacitors of 2 Fara

Fuel consumption could be cut significantly if waste heat energy of internal combustion engine (ICE) is harvested. Currently, ICEs lose their 42% of energy to exhaust and 28% of energy to the coolant. Several methods for waste thermal energy recovery from ICE have been studied by using supercharger or turbocharger or combined. This study presents t

A study on water quality based on toxic heavy metals was carried out between October,2010 and January, 2011 at Kuantan River, Pahang. Three stations expected to be polluted were chosen to be studied in this study. The stations were firstly, the area near to the fish landing jetty, secondly the area adjacent to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan

A study on physico-chemical parameters and distribution of phytoplankton communities was carried out at Kuantan estuary, Pahang, Malaysia. The study was carried out in September, 2011 and November, 2011 to determine the spatial distribution of phytoplankton from three different stations during the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. The phytoplankton

Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) is a very important target species for fisherman because it enjoys very high consumer preference and market price. Presently, the total capture production of this fish is decreasing day by day in Malaysia due to decreasing wild stock. However, necessary information about Asian seabass population in Malaysian water i

Metallothionein (MT), a metal and stress-induced protein, provides transport and storage of metal ions. The current study analyzed the influence of human cord blood leukocyte [Zn] and gravida on leukocyte MT-2A mRNA expression. Samples (n= 47) were collected at the labor rooms of a Government hospital in Kuantan, Malaysia. [Zn] in plasma, erythrocy
