This paper examines the acoustic properties of two pairs of English vowels: /i:/, /ɪ/ and /u:/,/ʊ/ produced by two sets of Malay speakers. This study was motivated by claims that Malaysian English (MalE) speakers do not distinguish these vowels’ phonemic lengths. The data was obtained from the recordings of five Malay informants. The recordings

Abstract: Complex fluid problems arise during fluid-structure interactions and pose a major challenge in the development of a stable generic numerical approach. Owing to the robustness of flowfield dependent variation (FDV) method in dealing with complex flow interactions, a new numerical procedure using the FDV method coupled with arbitrary Lagran

The present research study was aimed to isolate and detect for biosurfactant producing microorganisms from Palm Kernal Cake (PKC). Seven bacteria were isolated from PKC and labelled as SV1, SV2, SV3, SV4, SV5, SV6 and SV7. It was found that almost all the bacteria are potential biosurfactant producers as they were positive for most of the detection

Two bright solitons in a dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) can form stable bound states, known as soliton molecules. In this paper we study the scattering of a two-soliton molecule by external potential, using the simplest and analytically tractable Gaussian potential barriers and wells, in one spatial dimension. Collisions of soliton molecu

Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb concentrations in surface sediments collected from 10 stations in the western part of the Johor Straits were determined. Samples were acid digested and metal concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The obtained results showed that Zn had the highest concentration (111.7±78.8 g/g) among the selected

Two anti-phase bright solitons in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate can form stable bound states, known as soliton molecules. In this paper we study the scattering of a twosoliton molecule by external potential, using the simplest and analytically tractable Gaussian potential barriers and wells, in one spatial dimension. Theoretical model is based

The Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) is one of the universal mathematical models and it arises in a such diverse areas as plasma physics, condensed matter physics, Bose - Einstein condensates, nonlinear optics, etc. In this work the scattering of the soliton of the generalized NLSE on the localized external potential has been studied, taking

This study looks at the different sets of words used by the local Mat Rempit community in Malaysia to construct and signal their own unique subcultural identity. These sets of words are often borrowed from the standard Malay language. New meanings or senses have been assigned to these words as a result of this phenomenon. The Mat Rempit's lingu

Introduction: The New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit is an established model for infection. Objective: An experimental protocol for local bacteria injection at distal femoral shaft to create osteomyelitis in the New Zealand White rabbit is described. Methodology: This study is a descriptive analysis of the surgical approach (and related complications)

This study discusses views and perceptions held by Malaysian Muslim scholars about the Egyptian activist and revivalist, Sayyid Quţb. Based on survey samples and interviews, the author explores these opinions of Qutb's interpretation of the Qur'ān and other Islamic issues, including his socio-religious-political thought and contributions
