Understanding of the correlative effects of combined variables on the growth rate of the cyanobacteria is fundamental to the exploitation of cyanobacteria as a biological mechanism to produce biofuels. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are phototrophic microorganisms that offers attractive benefits, among which is a direct conversion of CO2 to a ran

In this article, a study of the thermal performance of embossed fined mini-channel heat sink numerically has been carried out using CFD. Commercial software STAR-CCM+ was used for the investigation. Embossed impressions were vertical to the heat sink base. The numerical results were presented in terms of flow visualization,a temperature distributio

The increase incidence in diabetes-and obesity-related diseases in developed and developing countries has driven serious efforts towards the discovery of adipogenic differentiation-inhibitory compounds in natural products. Mangostins and triterpenoids from Garcinia have been reported to contain a wide range of bioactivities. However, its antidiabet

The pollution of aquatic ecosystems in Malaysia has emerged as a major ecological problem coinciding with rapid industrialization and urbanization.
