In this paper, we describe an innovative process involving iron reduction through chemical vapor deposition for applications in the ironmaking industry. In our experiment, we produced tar vapors from pyrolysis of various solid fuels, including high-grade bituminous coal (HGC), low-grade lignite coal (LGC), and biomass palm kernel shell (PKS), and d

Cultivable marine bacteria associated with the sponge Hyattella cribriformis (Hyatt, 1877) was studied through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. These marine bacterial colonies produced on Zobell Marine agar plates were distinguished based on phenotypic characters viz., colony morphology and pigmentations of the individual colonies. The extracted DNA from

Theses and journals are key indicators for academic achievement of a University. Analyzing these academic output assists in assessing and evaluating not merely the quality of students' researches but also the productivity level of supervisors and the contributions made by the faculties and departments of the University. It would also help in id

The present study investigated the Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and free radical scavenging activity of Nauclea subdita (Korth) Steud. which might reflect the potency of the plant extract as antioxidant. Young and matured trees of N. subdita were harvested and cut into three heartwood parts (top, middle and bottom) and grounded into powdered forms.

Statistical modeling of extreme rainfall is essential since the results can often facilitate civil engineers and planners to estimate the ability of building structures to survive under the utmost extreme conditions. Data comprising of annual maximum series (AMS) of extreme rainfall in Alor Setar were fitted to Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distr

In network layer protocols, the most efficient way of sending similar packets to a group of nodes is via multicast. Multicast is a profound concept that has been around for some time and has seen through its implementation in various aspects of today’s network access technology. The IEEE 802.11 wireless standards, however, loosely honor IP layer
