Forty-six bacterial strains were isolated from nine different sources in four treatment plants namely IndahWater Konsortium (IWK)sewage treatment plant (STP), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) wastewater treatment plant-1,-2 and -3 to evaluate the bioconversion process in terms of efficient biodegradation and bioseparation. The bacte

Microbial surface active agents (biosurfactant) have recently been recognized as important microbial products with properties applicable in a number of industries and processes. Being capable of lowering surface- and interfacial-tension, biosurfactants are today thought to be efficient replacers and possible enhancer of chemically synthesized surfa

A novel method to assess the complex Education process has been devised. The technique involves the quantification of Learning Outcome, which has hitherto been largely subjective and cumbersome despite the technological advance in learning and teaching aids. The new technique presents an objective assessment in a mathematical form. The approach is

Solid state bioconversion (SSB) of rice straw for bioethanol production by the compatible mixed culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Trichoderma harzianum, and Phanerocheate chrysosporium was carried out in the laboratory. Design of the experiment and statistical analysis for optimization of bioethanol production was done using statistical software

A digital real time auto tracking robotic system is designed and analyzed. The tracking is based on passive detection using live TV imaging. The target coordinates are determined by an image processing technique and non-linear prediction algorithm. The control signals derived from the video signal set the azimuth ? and elevation f of the camera pos

This work investigated the optimisation of the fermented culture medium for maximisation of rhamnolipids production produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 181 using Response Surface Modeling (RSM). A two full factorial central composite experimental design was used in the design of experiments and in the analysis of results. This procedure limited the

The production of bioethanol was conducted by utilizing domestic wastewater sludge as major substrate using the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae in liquid state bioconversion method (submerged fermentation). The optimum media and process conditions obtained from previous studies by using central composite design were applied in this study to evaluat

Perlis Physical Tourism Planning Masterplan is a strategic plan implemented to formulate the direction of tourism development in Perlis. This is in line with the direction of tourism development of Malaysia towards consolidating and strengthening Malaysia's position as world tourism destination choice. This masterplan will also act as a referen

Abstract: Background/aim: In Malaysia, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. As such, early diagnosis and screening practices are important to increase the survival rate. Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the main screening methods for breast cancer. Socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge of breast cancer are amongst t
