Larvae and juveniles of barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch) were examined for the development of the retina, occurrence of the retinomotor response and retinal tapetum and change in eye size with age in days. The barramundi hatched with unpigmented non-functional eyes in which retinal cells had not yet differentiated into the various elements. Soon

It is vital to prioritize on developing facilities management (FM) decision support in operation and maintenance of high rise buildings in order to make sure building performance and building condition are excellent all the time. In Malaysia, there are various obstacles that FM is facing in managing all maintenance activities in high rise building.

The positioning systems generally need a good controller to achieve a fast response, high accuracy and robustness. In addition, ease and simplicity of controller design structure are very important for practical applications. For satisfying these requirements, NCTF controller has been proposed as a practical control method for two-mass rotary PTP p

Large high rise building is relatively complicated in maintenance. The value of buildings depends on the quality, safety and service of the maintenance policy standard provided and implemented in them. Building maintenance policy standard involves obtaining maximum benefit from the investment made on the maintenance activities. This paper presents

At present, high rise commercial building is quite complex in implementing a building maintenance policy. The quality, safety and service are the criteria of the building maintenance policy which should be provided and implemented in the high rise commercial buildings in order to sustain their value and economics. It also can benefit to the investm

This study examines the dynamic fracture propagation experienced by critical solder joints in a BGA test package during board-level single drop test. An Input-G loading method is employed to simulate a drop test condition with a peak acceleration of 1500G within a time duration of 0.5 ms. Unified inelastic strain model (Anand) describes the strain

ABSTRACT Background/Objective The phenomenon of loneliness exists in people of all ages but may cause a problem to older adults. On the other hands, depression has long been acknowledged to be a serious mental health problem in the older adult population. Nevertheless, diagnosing depression in the older adult is often difficult. The aim of this stu

Distribution of wealth and income is one of the most important topics concerning the economic life of man, and yet the most controversial. It is due to distribution of wealth and income that great revolutions such as the French Revolution of 1789, and armed conflicts in many parts of the world have taken place. The most fundamental question 86 in t

Structural beam element is widely used for many applications. To satisfy some requirements, it is not uncommon that the beam has to posses a non-uniform distribution of its cross section along the span. A common approach to analyze such a structure is by using a variational principle to develop the element stiffness matrix. In the present paper, an

Magnetic field measurement has many applications particularly in the field of navigation, military, space exploration, and medical. Among many magnetic devices, magnetometer is significant due to its capability of detecting direction and measuring strength of magnetic field. Through the years, many types of magnetometer had been invented with fluxg
