Research suggests that white noise may facilitate auditory working memory performance via stochastic resonance. Stochastic resonance is quantified by plotting cognitive performance as a function of noise intensity. The plot would appear as an inverted U-curve, that is, a moderate noise is beneficial for performance whereas too low and too much nois

Bioaccumulation agent is an attracting alternative for wastewater treatment. However, the real situation for wastewater treatment is more complicated due to the presence of multiple metal ions. Algae represent the best green technology agent for wastewater treatment as they fix atmospheric N2, catalyze the nutrient cycling, suppress the growth of p

Rhizophora apiculata and Acrostichum aureum are a common mangrove species in Malaysia. Allelochemical interaction of the mangrove species was speculated to play an important role in the dominance in a harsh environment. This study assessed the quantitative and qualitative determination for total phenolic content and individual phenolic compounds as

Beta-carotene was then being dissolved in the PLA coating solution and was then being tested with different treatments which were UV-A exposed and different temperature within a period of time. For UV-A, beta-carot

Nowadays, halal products are gaining wider recognition as a new benchmark for safety and quality assurance.As a consequence the commercial development of microalgae is established due to their high value chemicals, for examples, β-carotene, astaxanthin, phycobilin pigments and algal extracts for cosmaceutical products.
