Partial purification and characterization of molybdenum reducing enzyme from Escherichia coli strain K12 by Sulaiman, Mohd Haris

“…Partial purification and characterization were conducted on molybdenum reducing enzyme with anion exchange chromatography using GE-Healthcare Mono-QTM column and gel filtration chromatography using Agilent ZorbaxTM (GF-250) column. Two bands were visualized on the gel filtration fraction at 95.64 and 84.42 kDa using SDS polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”

Rheo-PIV of yield-stress fluids in a 3D-printed fractal vane-in-cup geometry by Medina-Bañuelos, Esteban F., Marín-Santibáñez, Benjamín M., Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H., Pérez-González, José

“…We describe the velocity distributions in all cases and show that the fVIC produces an almost axisymmetric flow field and rotation rate-independent “effective radius” when used with both the Newtonian fluid and the microgel. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…These, in turn, lead to direct exploitation of habitats and species, land use degradation and climate change. Southeast Asia is one of most biodiverse region, but it has also experienced extraordinary human population and economic growths in the last decades, leading to pristine habitat loss and deforestation rates among the highest globally. …”

Biogeochemical cycling and environmental footprints of peatland-derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean in Southeast Asia by Zhou, Yongli

“…Each year, 0.2–0.25 Pg C of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is delivered from land to ocean by riverine transport. This riverine flux of terrigenous DOC alone is sufficient to support the turnover of the entire oceanic DOC pool, which means that terrigenous DOC can in theory dominate the DOC pool in the ocean. …”

Drone fault tolerance strategy by allowing remaining rotor to pan and tilt by Zaludin, Zairil

“…By enabling opposing motors to pan and tilt independently, the study demonstrates the feasibility of landing the drone safely. The concept explores the idea of thrust vectoring by the individual rotor, which better manages the drone’s roll, pitch, and yaw angles, along with their respective rates. …”
