The aim of this paper was to analyze some trace metal concentrations (Cd, Cu, Al, Pb and Zn) in pore water along Terengganu beach. The samples were extracted by using the APDC-MIBK solvent extraction technique and analyzed by ICP-MS. The results showed that the range of trace metal concentration in pore water for Cd, Cu, Al, Pb and Zn were 0.01 μg

Cerebral Palsy is one type of disability. It is normally falls under physical disability category according to Department of Social Welfare Malaysia categorization of disability. However, Cerebral Palsy is unique and complicated too. Person with Cerebral Palsy can be under multiple disability (MD category) if the person has other disabilities like

The long-established connections between the Middle East and Malay World have often drawn attention and interest among scholars to indulge in various studies particularly regarding socio-cultural and economic relations between the two regions. In conducting these studies, sufficient and reliable materials or literature are indeed indispensable, wit

Recirculating aquaculture systems can reduce many challenges associated with open culture systems but maintaining suitable water quality in recirculating system is difficult. Protein skimmer removes organic matter from the water before it breaks down into nitrogenous waste. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of protein ski

Trace concentrations of mercury in water samples were determined by a method involving a simple and rapid procedure connecting the flow-injection inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (FI-ICP-MS) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) techniques. Mercury vapor, generated by sodium borohydride as the reductant, was stabil

Scaffolds play a key role in the process of regeneration and morphogenesis of tissue or organ. We have developed a novel sonication decellularization system to prepare decellularized bio-scaffolds in a short treatment time. The aim of the study is to investigate sonication decellularization condition that completely decellularize meniscus can be ch

Several parameters were used to investigate differences in aging rates influenced by cardiovascular risk factor. We sought to identify independent predictors modulating velocity indices in common carotid artery (CCA) from large population of normotensive and hypertensive to predict health risk. We studied a total of 254 subjects between 20 and 70 y

We have developed a novel sonication decellularization system to prepare completely decellularized bioscaffolds in a short treatment time. The aim of the study is to investigate the sonication decellularization efficiency and its relation with ultrasonic power output and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in different detergent solution. In the st

The concentrations of phosphoric acid on the characteristics of high efficient activated carbon were investigated. Adsorptions capacities of activated carbon prepared by chemical method were carried out to evaluate the adsorptive of some heavy metals. It was found that treated (palm shell by sulphuric acid, 5%) raw material reduces contain of impur

Spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) method for in-situ non-destructive testing of stiffness profiles of soil and pavement sites have undergone various improvements since its inception during the 1980s. Improvements have been in both data-acquisition (sampling and sensors) as well as in data-processing (forward calculation and inversion algorit
