Background: Non-communicable diseases, especially salt-related ones such as hypertension are on the rise in today’s society. As such, this study was undertaken to explore the knowledge, attitude and behavior towards dietary salt intake as well as any possible relation between their socio-demographic statuses and health of adult resident in a sub-

Global threats of water pollution and water scarcity due to rapid development are facing serious challenges and hence it is imperative to explore means for sustainable ways of averting the consequences. The dual application of microalgae for phycoremediation and biomass production for value production like biofuels and fertilizers is a feasible alt

The cell culture growth regulatory mechanism for microalgae is depending on various factors such as medium composition, light intensity and photoperiod. Significantly, it will influence economical important through productivity of large scale microalgae for commercialization in order to achieve the maximum growth. In the present study, effects of d

This article presents an experimental investigation on the wear behaviour of surface alloyed duplex stainless steel (DSS) containing SiC ceramic particles using TIG melting technique. The SiC powder with 20 µm particle sizes was preplaced at 0.5 mg/mm2 and melting was conducted with energy inputs of 768 and 1280 J/mm. The room temperature wear beh

Slope failure has become a major concern in Malaysia due to the rapid development and urbanisation in the country. It poses severe threats to any highway construction industry, residential areas, natural resources and tourism activities. The extent of damages that resulted from this catastrophe can be lessened if a long-term early warning system to

Carotenoid biosynthesis is influenced by some aspects and is liable to geometric isomerisation with the existence of oxygen, light, and heat, which affect color degradation and oxidation. The major problems related to carotenoid accumulation inherently originate from pigment instability. This chapter discusses an overview on the influence of string

This paper presented the development of sensory system for detection of both the presence and the location of human in a room spaces using MEMS Thermal sensor. The system is able to detect the surface temperature of occupants by a non-contact detection at the maximum of 6 meters far. It can be integrated to any swing type of electrical appliances s

Carotenoid content in plants differs due to several factors such as cultivar, maturity, climate, locality and storage. Improving the nutritional values of sweet potato is an important breeding goal and understanding the regulation, genetics and inheritance of carotenoid biosynthesis are vital to achieve this. Environmental conditions can have a mar

Slope failure has become a major concern in Malaysia due to the rapid development and urbanisation in the country. It poses severe threats to any highway construction industry, residential areas, natural resources, as well as tourism activities. Thus, this study aims to characterise the relationship between chromaticity variables to be manipulated

Utilization of Thermopile sensor at an early stage of human detection is challenging as there are many things produce thermal heat other than human such as electrical appliances and animals. Therefrom, an algorithm for early presence detection has been developed through the study of human body temperature behaviour with respect to the room temperat
