Dicranopteris linearis occupies in an open ground that contains poor soils and often colonizing disturbed space that partly shaded area. It has been known for various traditional values including medicinal, edible food, soil erosion protection, pen and furniture. Even though the plants possess both economic and medicinal value, they still form the

Water pollution and water scarcity due to the discharge of untreated domestic and industrial wastewater into aquatic bodies need serious attention. A number of physical, chemical, and biological methods have been developed for wastewater treatment; among these, the use of cyanobacteria is considered as sustainable ways of averting the consequences.

Forests play a significant role in maintaining the balance cycle of our ecosystems. It consists of rich biodiversity, that is not only for animals and plants but also a place for humans to explore and benefit from its resources – such as timber, water, herbs, gold and oil. The rainforests in Eastern Malaysia are believed to be the oldest in the w

The formation of hard surface layer on AISI Duplex-2205 steel provides a protective coating against wear application. In the present work, SiC particle size with average sizes of 20 µm, 60 µm and 100 µm were used as surface preplacement to AISI Duplex-2205 surface. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of different SiC particle s

Spectral efficiency is one the major challenges for future fifth generation. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with wavelets transform is a promising technology to improve the spectral efficiency which can eliminate the usage of cyclic prefix. Multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) diversity technique with array gain has the adva

During an interview session, one of the questions posed to me by the panelist was something related to the current scenario of university education. Specifically, the question came in the form of this statement: ‘It has been said that universities should not be degree mills but centres of knowledge dissemination and creativity.' Give us your

The use of natural preservatives called bacteriocin derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is one way of preventing food from being contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes (LM). The aims of this study were to evaluate the ability of LAB isolated from dadih to inhibit the growth of LM and to obtain the antimicrobial

The objectives of this study are to propose the Integrated Waqf Environmental Protection Model (IWEP) and investigate the farmers’ intention to adopt it. In developing the IWEP model and investigating farmers’ willingness to adopt it, this study surveyed 4 00 farmers in Kedah. The intention of the farmers to adopt the proposed model was analyse

It has generally been a strong belief that industrialization is necessary to eliminate poverty, unemployment, inequality in the distribution of income and wealth, and above all, to bring an accelerated growth of economic development. This belief which has been deep rooted for decades in Muslims’ hearts assumes that the third world countries must
