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

A holistic strategic planning process integrates sejahtera ulū al-albāb approach. This study argued that the sejahtera ulū al-albāb approach is powerful to provide a precise, rigorous and vigorous human-mind way. This study aims to investigate the influence of sejahtera ulū al-albāb approach in the practices of strategic planning among small

This study explores the influencing factors of the Islamic bond (sukuk) spreads, by employing the generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) method. Apart from the general GARCH (1,1) model, a higher order of lags for both ARCH and GARCH terms are also considered which is applied onto both the investment and non-investment gr

A Tori connected Torus Network (TTN) is a scalable interconnection network constructed from hierarchically interconnected 2D-torus networks. Static network performance of the fixed size TTN and dynamic communication performance under very common traffic patterns have been evaluated. However, a generalized study of static network performance of TTN

The interconnection network plays an important role in the performance and energy consumption of a Network-on-Chip (NoC) system. In this paper, we implement the NoC implementation of hierarchical torus network. The Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a hierarchical interconnection network consisting of multiple BM that is hierarchically interconnec

A Hierarchical 3D-Mesh (H3DM) Network is a 2D-mesh network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher-level networks. In this paper, we evaluate the dynamic communication performance of a H3DM network using a deadlock-free routing algorithm with minimum number of vir

The ambient condition for preparing the highly efficient activated carbon has been investigated in this work. The effects of different activation temperatures on the pore structure and surface morphology of highly efficient activated carbon derived from waste palm shell by chemical activation method using phosphoric acid as activating agent were st

This article is an effort to look at the contemporary Islamic educational practice from a perspective that relates education with social responsibility. The central concern of the article is to emphasize the importance of education in enabling Muslim youth to address the issue of social responsibility. It has been assumed that due to the negligence
