Algal spores respond to many environmental variables, especially, to chemical “cues”. This chemotactic response can be utilized to attract spores, thereby colonization of a new substrata is possible to be influenced. In this attempt, four chemoattractant candidates were screened against spores of Ulva pertusa to reveal their efficiencies. Attac

This paper seeks to use the flexible-price monetary model in the cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) contexts to determine whether there was misalignment in the Malaysian ringgit - U.S. dollar before the 1997 currency crisis. Unit roots, cointegration and weak exogeneity are tested to validate the monetary exchange rate model. Ge

Fiber glass has been used widely in manufacturing industries, especially marine industries, because of low cost and high strength. However, glass fiber can cause acute irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract. This study looked at the possibility of substituting glass fiber with natural fiber in composite materials. The surface pro

Cognition or thinking involves mental activities or thought process. The complexness of thought process is represented by the complexness of textual information that consists of more distinct pieces of information. Textual information which is in the form of language and symbol are means in representing and communicating information, experiences an

This paper the outcome of a study on tool life and surface roughness of TiAlN coated carbide tools used in end milling of AISI D2 hardened steel under room temperature and preheated machining conditions. The tool life and surface roughness of TiAlN coated carbide tools was investigated at various combinations of cutting speed, feed and preheating t

Academic writing is a productive skill that is especially crucial at the tertiary level. At Malaysian institutions where English is the medium of instruction, not only does a student need to write convincingly but he also has to do so effectively. This would mean writing with some sound knowledge of the content area, as well as ensuring the coheren

مرّت دراسة حكم التأمين أو فتاوي التأمين بمراحل، مما وفر للساحة الاجتهادية أرضًا خصبة ورحبة واسعة لدراسة التأمين بجميع أنواعه، لبيان موقف الإسلام منه، ومدى مشروعيته وملاءمته لطبيعة الشريعة ا�

Melioidosis, an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is endemic in South East Asia and Northern Australia. It can affect many organs in the body such as lung, liver, spleen, bone, prostate, brain and soft tissues. Objective: This study aims to detect the presence of prostatic abscess in patients with a positive blood culture for Burkholder

The Islam Hadhari approach has been widely debated recently, especially in Malaysia where the government has adopted a developmental project with this name. This project was initiated by the current Prime Minister Mr Abdullah Badawi when he proposed this project in a speech before his ruling party in 20003. Some have raised certain objections about

Most published research works on the development of tool life model in machining of hardened steels have been mainly concerned with the turning process, whilst the milling process has received little attention due to the complexity of the process. Thus, the aim of present study is to develope a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI
