Causal nexus between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission for Malaysia using maximum entropy bootstrap approach by Gul, S., Zou, X., Hassan, C.H., Azam, M., Zaman, K.

“…The empirical results show that there is a unidirectional causality running from energy consumption to carbon emission both in the bivariate model and multivariate framework, while controlling for broad money supply and population density. The results indicate that Malaysia is an energy-dependent country and hence energy is stimulus to carbon emissions.…”

Environment and air pollution like gun and bullet for low-income countries: war for better health and wealth by Zou, X., Azam, M., Islam, T., Zaman, K.

“…The study used a number of promising variables including arable land, fossil fuel energy consumption, population density, and carbon dioxide emissions that simultaneously affect the health (i.e., health expenditures per capita) and wealth (i.e., GDP per capita) of the low-income countries. …”

Preliminary study of radio astronomical lines effect of rain below 2.9 GHZ by Umar, R., Sabri, N.H., Abidin, Z.Z., Ibrahim, Z.A., Azid, A., Juahir, H., Toriman, M.E., Kamarudin, M.K.A.

“…There are many factors such as slope, raindrop, river, population density, road network, land used, wireless telephone technology interrupts radio astronomy observation. …”

The Effects of Chinese Herbal Medicines on the Quorum Sensing-Regulated Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by Chong, Yee Meng, How, Kah Yan, Yin, Wai Fong, Chan, Kok Gan

“…The quorum sensing (QS) system has been used by many opportunistic pathogenic bacteria to coordinate their virulence determinants in relation to cell-population density. As antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, interference with QS has been regarded as a novel way to control bacterial infections. …”

Characterization and Transcriptome Studies of Autoinducer Synthase Gene from Multidrug Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strain 863 by Ng, Chung Kiat, How, Kah Yan, Tee, Kok Keng, Chan, Kok Gan

“…Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system that uses autoinducers as signaling molecules to enable inter-species and intra-species interactions in response to external stimuli according to the population density. QS allows bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii to react rapidly in response to environmental changes and hence, increase the chances of survival. …”

Indoor-breeding of Aedes albopictus in northern peninsular Malaysia and its potential epidemiological implications by Dieng, H., Saifur, R.G.M., Hassan, A.A., Salmah, M.R.C., Boots, M., Satho, T., Jaal, Z., AbuBakar, Sazaly

“…CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Taken together these data suggest that accommodation of Ae. albopictus to indoor/domestic environment may increase its lifespan, blood feeding success, nuisance and thus vectorial capacity (both in terms of increased vector-host contacts and vector population density). These changes in the breeding behavior of Ae. albopictus, a potential vector of several human pathogens including dengue viruses, require special attention.…”

Analysis of dental services distribution in Malaysia: a geographic information systems – based approach by Md Bohari, Nor Faezah, Kruger, Estie, John, Jacob, Tennant, Marc

“…Conclusion: Dental services were distributed relative to high population density, were unevenly distributed across Malaysia and the majority of people with the highest inaccessibility to a dental service resided in Malaysian Borneo. © 2018 FDI World Dental Federation…”

Development of spatial similarity-based modeling to support integrated lake water quality management: recreational lakes in Klang Valley, Malaysia by Fazli, Bashirah, Shafie, Aziz, Mohamad, Mohd Fauzi

“…Due to recent climate factors which lead to long dry spells and affect normal water distribution from the reservoir, there is a high potential for tapping water from recreational lakes as a resource alternative for high population density states in Malaysia such as Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. …”

Spatial assessment of air quality patterns in malaysia using multivariate analysis by Dominick, D., Aris, A.Z., Zain, Sharifuddin Md, Latif, M.T., Juahir, H.

“…The PCA analysis showed that the major sources of air pollution were emissions from motor vehicles, aircraft, industries and areas of high population density. The MLR analysis demonstrated that the main pollutant contributing to variability in the Air Pollutant Index (API) at all stations was particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 μm (PM 10). …”

SWPlan software application for malaysian municipal solid waste management by Fauziah, Shahul Hamid, Agamuthu, Pariatamby

“…In order to evaluate the potentials of SWPlan, information on population density, waste composition and amount were defined according to data obtained from waste management studies conducted earlier. …”

Vesicles in fatty acid salt-fatty acid stabilized o/w emulsion - emulsion structure and rheology by Niraula, B.B., Seng, T.N., Misran, M.

“…Non or a very small number of vesicles was observed at NaOH concentration below 0.4M, whilst in the presence of 0.4-0.8M NaOH the vesicle population increased substantially. While vesicle population density decreased past 0.8M NaOH, their size increased with NaOH concentration from 0.8 to 1M. …”

Unusual developing sites of dengue vectors and potential epidemiological implications by Dieng, H., Saifur, R.G.M., Ahmad, A.H., Salmah, M.R.C., Aziz, A.T., Satho, T., Miake, F., Jaal, Z., AbuBakar, Sazaly, Morales, R.E.
