Ripening is a complex developmental process and involves many events such as textural and constitutional changes. The texture of fleshy fruits is one of the major criteria for consumer choice. However, the molecular determinants of ripening- associated changes in texture or “softening” are relatively poorly understood and seem to involve a larg

Selected hydrological parameters at the nesting grounds of horseshoe crabs along the Pahang coast were determined. A complete year data from March 2010 to February 2011 was collected using advanced multiparameter meter model Hanna HI 9828 probe. The surface water temperature varied from 29.060C - 19.360C at Balok and 29.10C-15.080C at Pekan station

Universities formal curriculum are getting more complex and diverse as the world’s issues are getting more complicated and interlinked. In responding to this demand, some subjects turned to be very specific and technical that it may have neglected the purpose of the knowledge to the society. In some cases, the subjects are very commercial-driven

Mosque architecture in Malaysia has been classified into three different styles; Vernacular, Colonial and Modern. This paper focused on evaluating the passive design strategies adopted in Colonial style mosques. In general, Colonial building styles were built from the 17th to the 20th centuries. This style was brought in by the European, depicting

This research is about innovative teaching methodology and the learning process of anthropometric study using “Morphosis Dual-Function Chair Design and Build”. The objectives of the study are to develop their knowledge in anthropometrics and ergonomic study and to familiarise first-year architecture students about the functional requirement and

This research is intended to explore the capacity of Malaysia soil in becoming a more effective heat sink for the application of Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) Cooling Technology in Malaysia. EAHE Cooling Technology consists of buried pipes underground where the ambient air is channeled through from the pipe inlet and produces cooler air at its

Albert the Great (d.1280 CE), i.e., Albertus Magnus was the founder of Christian Aristotelianism, the medieval scholastic venture which reached its culmination in the teachings of his student, Thomas Aquinas (d.1274 CE). His writings reflect his effort in synthesizing Aristotelian philosophy with Christian teachings, and for this paper we would foc

Carotenoids are biosynthesized by bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants, but not by animals, which must obtain them from their food. These compounds are divided into two major classes based on their structural elements; carotenes, constituted by carbon and hydrogen (e.g. b-carotene, a-carotene and lycopene), and xanthophylls, constituted by carbon, hy

Inflammation, occurs frequently in living tissues, and is responsible for numerous death and precursor to some deadly diseases. This review focus on seaweed derived anti-inflammatory compounds, which have attracted interest and promising replacer of current anti-inflammatory drugs. Macro algae have both pro- and anti-inflammatory compounds, the lat

Fucoxanthin has been successfully isolated from species of Malaysian brown seaweed, namely Padina australis. The purity of the fucoxanthin is >98% as indicated by high performance liquid chromatography analysis. This seaweed also contains a considerable amount of unsaturated fatty acids. Thirteen fatty acids were detected with gas chromatograph
