Conservation efforts such as reef survey and monitoring programs are crucial to ensure the sustainable management of coral reef resources. The present study aims to investigate the diversity and abundance of corals at seven fringing reef sites in Payar Island Marine Park by applying a Coral Video Transect method. A total of 38 genera from 14 famili

Artefacts in the Museum are continuously exposed to adverse climatological conditions such as the high concentration of Particulate Matter, unstable Tem-perature and Relative Humidity. These adverse climatological conditions can cause varieties of mechanical, chemical and biological damages to the exhibits in a museum and cultural heritage building

Introduction: Diabetic foot infection, a complication that is associated with lower-limb amputation, incurs a huge economic burden to the hospital and health care system of Malaysia.

Global warming is caused by excessive CO2 production, and reducing CO2 emissions is a viable way to counteract this. It has been extensively studied how light-driven processes, particularly photocatalytic systems, can transform solar energy into chemical energy. In the present review exercise, the mechanism of CO2 reduction is described using calcu
