Tobacco smoking is recognized as a major cause of preventable diseases and premature deaths worldwide. It is estimated that more than five million smokers die annually due to smoking related diseases globally (WHO, 2008), The death toll is expected to escalate to more than eight million deaths annually by 2030 if the current smoking patterns contin

This article analyses the status of Indian Muslims in Malaysia from a historical perspective and its definition as a minority ethnic group. It also highlights the political reality of the Indian Muslims, particularly as a smaller and relatively insignificant minority group in comparison with the numerically larger Malays as well as the non-Muslim C

The elevator technologies are developed to serve the requested passenger’s floors with high consideration of passengers’ satisfaction and elevator optimal performance. Responding to the issue, this paper focuses on development of an elevator group controller based on fuzzy algorithm. By introducing a fuzzy controller in an elevator system, this

Ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) in domestic wastewater treatment plants (WWTP’s) has recently been added as the monitoring parameter by department of environment. It is necessary to obtain a suitable model for the prediction of NH3-N in the effluent stream of WWTP in order to meet the stringent environmental laws. Therefore, the study explores the ro

A solar-based intelligent water sprinkler system project that has been developed to ensure the effectiveness in watering the plant is improved by making the system automated. The control system consists of an electricalcapacitance soil moisture sensor installed into the ground which is interfaced to a controller unit of Motorola 68HC11 Handy board

The sutchi catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important species for aquaculture in Southeast Asia. However, larvae typically have low survival rates due to their predilection for cannibalism during rearing. This study investigated larval feeding behavior and rearing conditions. The former experiments were performed to elucidate the role of s

Brown-marbled grouper Epinephelus fuscogttatus hachted with immature sensory organs, however their sensory organs developed rapidly after hatching. Their eyes had only cone cells in their retinae until commencement of the methamorphosis. The brown-marbled grouper larvae got rod cells at 25-day-old, then, retinomotor responses occured in their retin

In this work, the preliminary result on the effect of cryogenic cooling on grain growth in weld is reported. Ferritic stainless steel weld produced under TIG torch in argon environment is cooled in liquid nitrogen. The weld structure is characterized using LOM, SEM and EDX spectroscopy. The results suggest that cryogenic cooling reduced the weld wi
