Malaysian households’ energy consumption increased by 6.9%. Meanwhile, energy supply increased by 6.1% from 1991 to 2006. If energy consumption continues to increase, it will put significant strain on the energy supply. The steady growth of electricity consumption in Malaysia is directly linked to CO2 emissions and climate change, which directly

Background: Due to a dearth of research on depressive symptoms in Malaysia, particularly in Malay women, a community study was conducted to examine the prevalence and factors associated with current depressive symptoms in rural and urban Malay women with low socioeconomic status. Method: Four hundred eighty-seven women (N rural D 242, N urban D 245

The cross-section of a wing carries stresses such as bending, torsional and shear. The analysis in aircraft structure courses is done by assuming bending stress is only assumed to affect boom areas while shear stress only affects the skins of the cross-section. A MATLAB software has been developed with the purpose to compute the stresses and the sh

This paper presents results of an experimental investigation carried out to control the base pressure in a suddenly expanded axi-symmetric passage. Four micro-jets of 1 mm orifice diameter located at 900 intervals along a pitch circle diameter of 1.3 times the nozzle exit diameter in the base region were employed as active controls. The tests were

Effect of heating on the development of volatile aroma constituents of palm olein and selected oils was studied. The aroma constituents of heated oils were collected using a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) headspace technique with an adsorbent of a divinylbenzene/carboxen (50/30μm) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibre. The extracted volatiles w

High frequency oscillating ventilation (HFOV) provides a rescue therapy for patients with refractory hypoxaemia in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). HFOV utilizes high mean airway pressures to maintain an open lung and low tidal volumes at a high frequency that allows for adequate ventilation while at the same time preventing alveo

Studies on bioconversion of ω-fatty acids in giant snakehead and mudskipper fish oil were carried out using guinea pig lung homogenate. The fish oils were incubated aerobically at 37oC in phosphate buffer solution with the addition of guinea pig lung homogenate. After incubation it was found that ca. 72-76% of arachidonic acid has been converted t

PURPOSE OF STUDY Intraoperative temperature monitoring and management is critically important to prevent complications associated with hypothermia. Satisfactory knowledge and practice in this area amongst the clinicians who are managing the patients intraoperatively is of utmost important to prevent development of hypothermia and its subsequent com

This research aims to assess the economic impact of climate change on the poverty of rice farmers in Kedah. A personal interview was conducted in a sample of 400 farm households in Kedah, Malaysia. To achieve the goal of the analysis, a logit model was used. The findings indicate that education and non-farm have major positive effect on the probabi

Study on bioconversion of ω-fatty acid contained in Channa micropeltes fish oil was carried out using guinea pig lung homogenate. The fish oil of C. micropeltes was incubated aerobically at 37oC in phosphate buffer solution with the addition of guinea pig lung homogenate. After incubation it was found that ca. 76% arachidonic acid has been convert
