The upgrading of cassava peel into a nutritionally enriched animal feed by the white rot fungus Panus tigrinus M609RQY was investigated. Positive contributing media components were determined by Plackett- Burman design (PBD) and optimized by one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method. In the screening of media constituents, protein and lignin content were

Mobile Commerce, also known as, M-commerce is thought to be the next big phase in this technologically dependent society after E-commerce era. However, its adoption and level of use is low in Malaysia compared to others nations such as Korea, Singapore, and Japan. This study aims to identify some factors that affect the adoption of Mcommerce in Mal

Mammalian cell lines, in particular CHO-K1 is vital for the multibillion dollar biotechnology industry. The majority of large scale bioprocessing of commercially aluable protein biopharmaceuticals is produced using this type of cell. An ideal mammalian cell system as host for biologics production should retain efficient use of energy sources in ord

Based on an inexpensive popular precision timing chip 555 timer, a resistance to time converter is proposed in this paper it is indeed capable of converting resistive and capacitive changes into pulse widths of proportional durations. This converter exhibits a compatibility of wider conversion range with a reasonable level of sensitivity required f

In this work, it was shown by calculations that crude-oil’s extinction is definite, and oil air-pollution is increasing significantly as a function of time (civilization). Hence, a parabloidal reflector antenna is suggested here to extract solar energy as a concentrated solar-induced heat. This heat could be used for industry, electricity generat

Micro-electro discharge machining (micro-EDM) technique, an advanced noncontact machining process, is used for structuring of nonconductive ZrO2 ceramic. In this study copper foil as a conductive layer is adhered on the workpiece surface to initiate the sparks and kerosene is used as dielectric for creation of continuous conductive pyrolytic carbon

Sensors are fundamental part of circuit performing measurement as well as control in various fields. They present the measured quantity in analog electrical signal which is processed to perfonn the desired operation. Most of the signal processing nowadays is in digital domain due to advantages like noise-insensitivity, more robustness, better produ

Artificial seagrass plays an important role for the distribution of benthic organisms and fishes. Based on this perspective a study was conducted in the Sepanggar Bay located in the Northern part of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia from November 2006 to February 2007 to determine the potentiality of artificial seagrass as an alternative habitat for marine f

Present study was conducted to determine the propagation and biodiversity of corals on artificial reefs at Teluk Kalong and Pasir Akar, Malaysia to check the feasibility of artificial reef to rehabilitate natural reef ecosystems and to provide artificial habitat for marine organisms. Two types of artificial reef deployed in these areas were Dome Re

This study investigates the role of Islamic work ethic as mediator between transformational leadership and work outcomes (organizational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intention). This study used a sample of 370 employees from 60 Islamic microfinance institutions in Central Java, Indonesia. The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SE
