Phaleria macrocarpa (Mahkota dewa) seed was examined to determine the optimal conditions of oil yield by solvent extraction method using n-hexane as extracting solvent. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to describe explicitly the influence of extraction time, temperature and solvent-to-feed ratio on the yield of oil using central comp

This paper primarily highlights an appraisal of an undergraduate architectural student’s work for a third year design studio project on a mixed-residential waterfront development, which aims to achieve sustainable livelihood for Kuantan’s urban community. Dwelling architecture demands good architects to respond holistically towards the local co

Early childhood education plays an important role in developing assertive nation. In order to become a productive member of the nation, children should be nurtured to grow holistically and equipped with abilities, knowledge and skills.

Microalgae lipid is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production. The objective of this work was to study growth factors affecting marine mutant Synechococcus sp.(PCC 7002) for high lipid production. Four growthfactors were investigated; nitrogenphosporus-potassium (NPK)concentration, light intensity,temperature and NaNO3concentration on mutant s

Burkholderia pseudomallei K96243, the causative agent of melioidosis, is reported to produce various extracellular products, including proteases. The role of these proteases in the melioidosis, however, remains obscure. Previous findings have hinted at the inherent pathogenicity of the protease during B. pseudomallei K96243 infection. The annotated

The purpose of this research is to study the antihyperglycemic activity of Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff.) Boerl. [makotadewa] fruits (mesocarp and pericarp) extracts by STZ-induced sprague-dawley rats model. This research also focused on toxicity study more to evaluate the cytotoxicity and acute oral toxicity by cell line on MCF-7, brine shrimp leth

Purpose –Life Cycle Cost (LCC) estimation process can be divided into three main phases: data inputs, conversion and outputs. The objective of this paper is to identify the most appropriate methodology to investigate the quality of data used as inputs in LCC estimation for building works in the Malaysian construction industry. The focus of qualit

In recent years, astaxanthin is claimed to have a 10 times higher antioxidant activity than that of other carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and β-carotene; the antioxidant activity of astaxanthin is 100 times higher than that of α-tocopherol. Penaeus monodon (tiger shrimp) is the largest commercially available shrimp species
