The present study aimed to determine the current status of corals using the coral video transect (CVT) method in the east coast, west coast, and isolated areas of Tioman Island, Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 65 genera from 21 families of corals were identified, from which the scleractinian corals of Acropora, Montipora, and Porites were dominant

The number of endangered coral species is increasing over the past decades due to multiple stresses and threats. Euphylliidae corals are among the species heavily targeted for the marine aquarium trade due to their colourful appearance and aesthetic importance. However, their distribution in Peninsular Malaysia has not been thoroughly investigated.

This paper aims to measure and characterised urban sprawl development in Kuala Lumpur city using leapfrog geospatial indices. The researcher utilised remote sensing satellite data such as Landsat and Spot images for two different times. The remote sensing application was subsequently integrated with GIS database to detect changes and analyse the pa

In this paper, multithreading technique is being applied in the system algorithm and evaluated for real-time color marker based navigation system for image guide surgery. This work was carried out to investigate the effect of multithreading technique on the performance of multiple inputs and multiple out system. The purpose of this implementation i

This paper is a continuation of our previous studies on nonlinear consensus which uni�es and generalizes all previous results. We consider a nonlinear protocol for a structured time-varying synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of non-autonomous polynomial stochastic opera

The classical Perron–Frobenius theorem says that a trajectory of a linear stochastic operator associated with a positive square stochastic matrix always converges to a unique fixed point. In general, an analogy of the Perron–Frobenius theorem does not hold for a quadratic stochastic operator associated with a positive cubic stochastic matrix. N

In this paper, we introduce a new class of the so-called p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators which is the generalization of the class of quadratic doubly stochastic operators. We provide a criterion for the regularity of p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators acting on 2D simplex. Some relevant examples are also provided.Theory of Stoc

This research focuses on determination of cement-free geopolymer concrete capacity as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement concrete (OPC) for in-situ casting and the effect of utilizing waste material in polymeric concrete. pulverized fuel ash (PFA) is used as the main constituent and MIRHA as replacement by 0%, 3%, 5% and 7%. Sodium hydroxid

In this paper, the first order statistics for gray level intensity defined from thermal image is implemented to govern the significant and distinguishable characteristic pattern in thermal image of affective states. The impact of thresholding mechanism is studied to differentiate between positive affective states (happy) and negative affective stat

After more than half century has passed, urban sprawl remains as one of the most important and unresolved matters in the urban development process. This paper adopts "Bibliometrics Analysis" technique, which is a statistical analysis of scientific publications to review the studies on urban sprawl from the year 1996 till 2015 in order to id
