This study was carried out at the Muar River Estuary, Johore, Malaysia. Water samples, sediment and biota that are Crassostrea iredalei, Perna viridis and Anadara granosa were collected during monsoon season in November 2005. All the samples were analyzed for the mercury concentration by using cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometer (CV-AAS)

This paper presents a Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system with dynamic power allocation (DPA). The system fills the gap in power splitting (PS) and time switching (TS) systems, where the different power requirements of running a sensor node (SN) and decoding information are overlooked. In the presented system, the en

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. WMNs are dynamically self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an adiej hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. Designing a routing p

Powering Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is one of the most researched topics in the wireless field. Due to the density of such networks, conventional power sourcing using wires is not feasible. Furthermore, a sensor node (SN) in a WSN consumes small amounts of energy. Therefore, the SN can be charged wirelessly using a radio frequency (RF) power tr

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. WMNs are dynamically self- organized, self-configured and self-healed, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. Due to the increasing int

The locally available rice husk is found to provide a good alternative source of highly active silica for the synthesis of zeolites. The present synthesis of zeolite Y using seed and feed gel method yields maximum crystallinity and rich in zeolite Y and which shows the absence of other impurities. This compared with preparation of zeolite Y seeding

Introduction: Disinfection of impression is compulsory to prevent cross-infection to dental personnel. However, prolonged immersion in disinfectants may affect the dimensional accuracy of irreversible hydrocolloid. Different types of disinfectants are available nowadays, including alcohol-based, glutaraldehyde, and chlorine derivatives. Objectives:

The paper adds to the stream of Performance Measurement System (PMS) research with understanding the relationship between service activities and PMS design. Focusing on the association between service process types and the ways of measuring activities, the study provides a preliminary exploratory study on the practical aspect of PMS design. Using a

تعتبر سلطنة عمان من الدول الأوائل التي إستخدمت الدبلوماسية الثقافية في علاقاتها الدولية. فقد جعلها العمانيون من نمط حياتهم، وسلوكيات تعاملهم مع الشعوب الأخرى. فموقع سلطنة عمان المطل على سواح�

Due to their good electrical conductivity and versatility, conductive polymers (CPs), in particular poly(3,4- ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT):poly(styrene sulphonate) (PSS) have recently attracted considerable research interests in bioelectronics application. This research aims to provide an insight into the mechanisms in PEDOT:PSS to increase ele
