Determination of mosquitoes species diversity and molecular detection of West Nile virus in wild bird habitats in Perak and Selangor, Malaysia by Jafar Ali, Natasha

“…The aim of this study was identifying the diversity of mosquito species found near to the wild bird habitats and determining the presence of WNV RNA in the mosquitoes in the selected areas of West Coast Malaysia. Mosquitoes were trapped by using CDC Light Trap baited with carbon dioxide followed by sex and species identification with morphological and taxonomic keys under stereomicroscope. …”

A barrier-based smoothing proximal point algorithm for NCPs over closed convex cones by Chua, Chek Beng., Li, Zhen.

“…These smoothing approximations are used in a smoothing proximal point algorithm to solve monotone nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs) over a convex cone via the normal map equation. The smoothing approximations allow for the solution of the smoothed normal map equations with Newton's method and do not require additional analytical properties of the Euclidean projector. …”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…The band-anticrossing model is used to identify the origins of the two peaks and we propose a model to explain the RTA observations by the concept of increased confinement in areas of higher N concentrations by trapped N localized states. The peak is due to the accumulation of N content near the GaAs/GaAsN interface. …”

High flux strontium atom source by Feng, C. H., Robert, P., Bouyer, P., Canuel, B., Li, Jianing, Das, Swarup, Kwong, Chang Chi, Wilkowski, David, Prevedelli, M., Bertoldi, A.

“…Our approach involves velocity-dependent transverse capture of atoms using a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. To enhance the atomic flux, we employ tailored magnetic fields that minimize radial beam expansion and incorporate a cascaded Zeeman-slowing configuration utilizing two optical frequencies. …”

Radioactive Atoms and Molecules for Fundamental Physics by Udrescu, Silviu-Marian

“…I will then present the theoretical calculations and the status of an experiment aiming to measure hadronic parity violation using single molecular ions inside a Penning trap. The experiment's goal is to use the external magnetic field provided by the trap to fine-tune molecular energy levels of opposite parity close to degeneracy, thus increasing the signal produced by parity violating nuclear properties. …”

The spreadsheet : is it an asset in an accountants balance sheet? by Heng, Stefanie Gek Hiong, Ng, Jane Sook Yin, Sia, Valerie Puay Khim

“…Hence, plans to increase/maintain market share should perhaps take into account strategic factors like: -building market share quickly, -enticing upgraders to switch, and -preventing existing customers from switching. To cap it all, this project has confirmed the role spreadsheets play in contributing to work performances within the accounting arena and dispelled the "myth" (belief) that Lotus is the leading spreadsheet.…”
