This study focuses on the assessment of rare earth elements (REEs) in rocky shore ecosystem along west coast region of Peninsular Malaysia coastal waters, describing their partitioning in selected body part of Saccostrea cucullata and deliberating on interspatial variability. Samples were digested using Teflon Bomb technique and concentrations of 1

Battery cell balancing in every electrical component such as home electronic equipment and electric vehicle is very important to extend battery run time which is simplified known as battery life. The underlying solution to equalize the balance of cell voltage and SOC between the cells when they are in complete charge. In order to control and extend

Antifungal peptides have been successfully extracted from whole body larvae of Zophobas morio (Fabricius) by using acidified isopropanol. To ensure that the extraction is cost effective for maximum yield, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using a Central Composite Design (CCD) strategy was adopted to optimize the extraction process parameters. The

Cancer still presents enormous challenges in the medical world. Currently, the search for anticancer compounds has garnered a lot of interest, especially in finding them from the natural sources. In this study, by using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) colorimetric assay, compounds, extracted from supermeal worm (Zophobas morio) larvae using two types of aci

Pesticides are widely used in the agricultural sector and other settings. In Malaysia organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides are commonly used to control mosquito-borne disease. This project aims to do three things: assess the exposure to pesticides of a group of workers who mix and spray pesticides to con-trol the mosquito population in Malaysi

Cyanobacteria are bacteria found in different ecosystems, such as lakes and rocks. These bacteria, capable of photosynthesis, are important sources of oxygen. However, some cyanobacterial strains can produce toxins, which are harmful to humans and ani- mals. Therefore, collection of epidemiological and surveillance data on cyanobacterial toxins in

Extraction of gelatin using traditional acid-base pretreatment method has several limitations such as time consuming and causes serious water pollution. Chemical treatment often being used as an alternative process to overcome the weaknesses of the conventional method. However, excessive chemical elements would damage the structure of the gelatin d

Islamic finance offered a viable and moral-ethical alternative when the world economy was suffering from the global financial crises due to high debt-gearing and excessive speculations leading to liquidations and losses. In the casino-like scenario of the conventional order, Islamic finance is viewed as a game-changer, setting new rules and behavio
