Field observations on physico-chemical characteristics of water and sediment quality were carried out from March, 2005 to Dec, 2005 at 4 different stations (Station 1 - Main Jetty Pulau Tuba, Station 2 – Pulau Tuba Jetty number 2, Station 3 – Simpan Tiga Mangrove Area and Station 4 - Kuah Jetty) along the coastal waters iin Pulau Tuba, Langkawi

A novel approach to identify compounds possessing adenosine A1 receptor binding activity in the leaves of O. stamineus was developed. O. stamineus extract is one of the components of a functional beverage used in Indonesia for the treatment of kidney stones. In this study, adenosine A1 receptor binding, which is related to the diuretic action in th

Video surveillance can be a very powerful tool in the fight against crime, by accurately monitoring human activities.

A study was conducted on physico-chemical parameters and bacterial pollution in Orbicularia orbiculata (Wood, 1828) and Anadara granosa (L.) at Pahang estuary from January to February 2009. The temperature was ranged from 28.00-29.87°C, pH 7.79-8.10, specific conductivity 51.49-55.89 mS cm-1, salinity 18.74-30.10 ppt., TDS 33.63-39.59 g L-1, DO 6.

A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for the simultaneous determination of the β-blocker drugs atenolol and chlorthalidone in pharmaceutical formulations has been developed. The CZE separation was performed under the following conditions: capillary temperature, 25°C; applied voltage, 25 kV; 20 mM H3PO4–NaOH running buffer (pH 9.0); and

This study tests antecedents and effects of time spent online in a random sample of senior level undergraduate students at a public university in Malaysia. The path analysis found that a perceived social integration predicted time spent online and opinion expression in public on one of the two issues in the study. Surveillance-social connectivity m
