Copper nanoparticles have been prepared by electro-reduction process using plating bath containing homogeneously acidified copper sulphate solution. The nanoparticles are formed as spongy layers of ball structures on the plating electrode. The spongy layers of copper can be easily separated to give fine particles. Structural characterizations are d

97%Sn 2%Cu 1%Sb (pewter) alloys were examined to determine the effect of green density, sintering time and sintering temperature on the mechanical and structural properties of the conventional and microwave sintered compacts. Two compaction loads; 30kN and 40kN were used to produce the samples with different green densities. Eight different time-te

Gymnodinium catenatum, a toxic dinoflagellate was found to co-occurs in high cell densities with the bloom-forming Cochlodinium polykrikoides off the west coast of Sabah. maximum cell densities of G. catenatum recorded reached 1.24 x 105 cell/L, relative to C. polykrikoides densities of 1.54 x 107 cells/L. Gymnodinium catenatum forms long chains of

Paediatric subdural empyema is frequently seen in developing Asean countries secondary to rinosinusogenic origins. A cross-sectional analysis on the surgical treatment of intracranial subdural empyema in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), a major referral center, was done in 2004. A total number of 44 children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were in
