Increasing population and tremendous urbanisation growth and other factors influence directly the municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Malaysia. The huge quantity of MSW generation, particularly in Peninsular Malaysia, has increased from 16,200 tonnes per day in 2001 to 19,100 tonnes per day in 2005 or an average of 0.8 kg/capita/day. The amou

A 1.2 kb lipase gene (AY 78735) from solvent stable and thermostable Bacillus sp. strain 42 was overexpressed in a heterologous system that allowed for an extensive characterization of its solvent stability and thermostability. An overexpression was achieved using pET51b vector with Escherichia coli host strain BL21(DE3)pLysS, in which optimum expr

Lip 42 lipase, isolated from Bacillus sp. strain 42 was previously shown to be stable in polar organic solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Stabilities in different solvent compositions were studied based on 400C pre incubation in solvent, and the purified lipase was shown to retain at least 100% residual activity in up to 45% v/v DMSO. In 60

Background: The mudskipper (P. schlosseri) belongs to the Periophthalmin spp. within the family Gobiidae. They live in the mangrove swamps and intertidal habitats which are found only in tropical and subtropical regions. In some countries, the mudskipper provides a valuable source of protein throughout the Asian and African regions. Objective: The

We performed a cross-sectional study of the demography, clinical and laboratory features of patients with systemic sclerosis patients followed up in our centre from 1984 to 2007. There were 23 cases with the majority of them (96%) being female. They have a mean age of 50.3 years and a mean disease duration of 6.02 (SD 5.82) years. Our patients comp

Malaysia upholds the constitutional supremacy as per Article 4(1) of the Federal Constitution. The constitution provides for the three main organs of the State, namely, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary pursuant to Articles 39, 44 and 121, respectively. The doctrine of separation of power serves as a check against the abuse of power.

The recent revolutionisation of the courtrooms with digitalization such as live-streaming or broadcasting of the court’s proceedings would undeniably allow the public virtual entry into the courtrooms. Hence, this article highlights the need for the law faculties and law schools to embrace the remote communication technology in the teaching and l

There are many Malaysian workers hired by foreign embassies and consulates all over the country on fixed term contract basis and the question arises whether they are protected against dismissal without just cause or excuse. This issue was recently raised in Subramaniam a/l Letchimanan v The United States of America and another appeal where the appe
