Effluents from dye and textile industries are highly contaminated and toxic to the environment. High concentrations of non-biodegradable compounds contribute to increases in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater bodies. Dyes found in wastewater from textile industries are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or tera

Abstract: Functional metagenomic approach incorporating metagenomic DNA library construction and high-throughput screening has proven to be a powerful tool for identifying novel biocatalysts (Wouters et al. 2014). Culture enrichment strategies are additional pre-screening methods employed to provide an attractive means of enhancing the screening hi

Effluents from dye and textile industries are highly contaminated and toxic to the environment. High concentration of non-biodegradable compounds contributes to increased biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater bodies. Dyes found in wastewater from textile industries are carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratoge

For every finite group $G$ the ergodicity of any map $p: S\rightarrow S$ on $S$ is shown, where $\mathcal{R}[G]$ is the real group algebra of $G$ , $$ S= \{x=\sum_{g\in G}x_gg\in \mathcal{R}[G]: \sum_{g\in G}x_g=1, x_g\geq 0 \mbox{ for any}\quad g\in G\}-\mbox{the simplex,} $$ $p(x)= a_0+a_1x+ a_{2}x^{2}+ ...$, \ $x\in S$,\ $a_i\geq 0$ and $\sum_{i

The escalating prevalence of diabetics in the world and Malaysia particularly, is alarming. Among the complications of diabetes especially in the elderly patients, is retinopathy, which may derive from the affected posterior eye and influence the visual functions. However, limited studies investigated the potential visual function changes in a youn

Transit oriented development propagates the use of feeder services such as buses, taxis and paratransit to support the main rail trunks (Taylor, 1982; Limtanakool et.al, 2006; Alshalalfah & Shalaby, 2007). This paper attempts at explaining the preferences of passengers of a Malaysian rail service towards feeder buses, factors influencing their

The paper focuses on the modelling attempt of willingness to pay for an improved bus service in selected cities and towns of Malaysia. Using responses from onboard intercept surveys, 1,130 samples of bus passengers have been analysed so as to arrive at a simplified model of how passengers trade off their money with possible upgrading of bus service

This paper aims to analyze the stability of nonlinear localized modes in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattice by anti-continuum approach. It is relatively convenient to employ the anti-continuum method for solving discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This method has shown the ability to produce similar result of analysis of the

Central to this paper is the Islamic perspective of transportation planning and development. A pro-active effort consolidating major Quranic verses and the Prophets Muhammad's Hadith pertaining to the conception, development and advancement of transportation, it is a systematically documented reference for the aspiring transportation profession

Two common concerns for residents in their respective residential areas are high traffic speeds and noise levels. This paper analyses if road humps are viable as a measure for improving residential living environment based on their effects on traffic speed and noise. The study was conducted in three Malaysian residential areas: Putrajaya, Taman Set
