The referencing book for local parks and landscape design implementation in Malaysia is lacked and hardly found as most of the current references are developed by the western researchers viewing western cultures and geographic. The main purpose of this study is to identify, compile, review and determine the quality aspects in Malaysian parks and la

New tridentate nitrogen–oxygen–sulfur Schiff base has been prepared from the condensation reaction of S-methyldithiocarbazate and methylisatin. The compound crystallized in triclinic crystal system with space group P - 1, Z = 2, V = 612.92(3) A ° 3 and unit cell parameters a = 6.8540(2) A ° , b = 8.3022(2) A ° , c = 11.5243(4) A ° , a = 79.

Previous study found that microRNA-101 (miR-101) and microRNA-744 (miR-744) were deregulated in head and neck cancers and were implicated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) carcinogenesis. Thus, this study aimed to determine the expression of miR-101 and miR-744 in NPC and analyse the utility of these microRNAs (miRNAs) as diagnostic biomarkers. Tot

The term Cloud computing is not new in computing technology. This form of computing technology previously considered only as marketing term, but today Cloud computing not only provides innovative improvements in resource utilisation but it also creates a new opportunity in data protection mechanisms where the advancement of intrusion detection tech

A tunable, passively Q-switched fiber laser using titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) as saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. The TiO2 SA has an insertion loss and modulation depth of 2.6 dB and 19.1 % respectively. The generated laser output has a repetition rate of 83.3 kHz and pulse-width of 0.08 μs at a maximum pump power of 270.0 mW. On
