Clonal propagation of palms with good traits is desirable for the oil palm industry. In this study, flow cytometry (FCM) and 18S-25S ribosomal DNA-fluorescence in situ hybridisation (rDNA-FISH) were utilised to analyse genetic variation in adult clonal palms, their respective suspension cultures and regenerant plantlets. The genome sizes estimated

Breast cancer in men is uncommon. It represents less than 1% of all cancer in men. The survival rates of breast cancer are similar in men and women. Papillary carcinoma of breast is an extremely rare form of breast cancer. It tends to affect older age group but had excellent prognosis.

Discharge current distributions generated underwater by spark discharges from the atmosphere to free water surfaces with conductivities in the range 0.07–10.0 S/m were investigated using a laboratory-scale electrode system consists of a discharge electrode and nine underwater grounding electrodes. Discharge emission on the water surface which sho

The aims of this present study were to investigate the potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and plaque-reducing activity of Baccaurea angulata (BA) fruit as a new anti-atherogenic plant. Twenty five male rabbits of New Zealand strain used were randomly assigned to five groups. Rabbits were fed either a standard chow diet (group N) or a high-cho

Strata properties law in Malaysia came into existence in 1985 and was governed by the Strata Titles Act 1985 (“STA”). In furtherance to that, the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (“BCPA”) was introduced to regulate matters related to strata properties inter alia on the management and maintenance of common p

Appendicitis in the elderly continues to be a challenging surgical problem. Patients usually present late with atypical presentations. The diagnosis of appendicitis is often difficult to establish and there are increased rate of perforation and mortality. Abscess formation with extension to anterior abdominal wall as reported in this case is rather

The practice of shorting stocks was put forward as one of the causes of the recent financial crisis whereas Shiller (2003), for example, considers shorting an essential element of an efficient market. Shorting involves selling borrowed stocks and subsequently closing the position by purchasing and returning the stock to the lender. A profit will be

Trace metals and rare earth elements (REEs) in the soft tissue of rocky shore Rock Oyster, Saccostrea cucullata, along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were determined. Significant inter-spatial variations ( p < 0.05) in trace metals and REEs were recorded. Significant positive correlations ( p < 0.01) were found among REEs concentrati
