Concentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in some selected marine fishes of the Pahang coastal waters, Malaysia by Yunus, Kamaruzzaman, Ong, Meng Chuan, Zabri, Rina Sharlinda

“…Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship existing between metal concentration and several intrinsic factors of the fish such as organism size, genetic composition and age of fish. …”

The performance of a solar assisted heat pump water heating system by Hawlader, Mohammad Nurul Alam, Chou, S K, Ullah, M Z

“…Due to high ambient temperature in Singapore, evaporator can be operated at a higher temperature, without exceeding the desired design pressure limit of the compressor, resulting in an improved thermal performance of the system. Results show that, when water temperature in the condenser tank increases with time, the condensing temperature, also, increases, and the corresponding COP and collector efficiency values decline. …”
