Synthesis and characterization of low density Bi(Pb)-2223 high temperature superconductor doped with europium and ytterbium / Nor Azura Che Mahmud by Che Mahmud, Nor Azura

“…The optimum level of low density superconductor obtained within the sample with ratio of polycrystalline sucrose to Bi(Pb)-2223 powder was at 0.050:1.950, where the highest Jc obtained was 6.053 A/cm2 at 77 K. The effect of rare earth elements, RE (Yb and Eu) substitutional doping in the optimum level of low-density (Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2 RExCa2-xCu3Oy), high-temperature superconductor have shown that for all series of doping concentration, the 7c and Jc gradually decreased as x is increased. …”

Establishment of rainfall erosivity calendar at main cities of peninsular Malaysia / Nur Zarina Zakaria by Zakaria, Nur Zarina

“…Soil erosion has become a very serious problem in Malaysia recently and it is one of the natural processes that occur on earth. With the accelerated land development both in public and commercial sectors, this problem will certainly persevere and deteriorate unless proper planning and management of land utilization is adopted at the early stage of any future land development. …”

RNA-Seq-mediated transcriptomic analysis of heat stress response in a polar Chlorella sp. (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) by Poong, Sze Wan, Lee, Kok Keong, Lim, Phaik Eem, Pai, Tun Wen, Wong, Chiew Yen, Phang, Siew Moi, Chen, Chien Ming, Yang, Cing Han, Liu, Chun Cheng

“…Despite the low number of human inhabitants in Antarctica, the Antarctic Peninsula was reported as one of the most rapidly warming locations on earth. Many studies have shown that heat stress modulates physiological performance in many species of microalgae; however, studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of high-temperature thermotolerance are generally focused on the model species, i.e. …”

Biogenic Volatile organic compounds Emission in Malaysian Landscapes and its implication to the Global Carbon cycle by Mohd Noh Dalimin, Alona C Linatoc, Maryati Mohamed, Datin

“…To date, very limited studies in tropical plants have been included in the regional and global inventories of emissions, albeit their role in the global carbon cycle; tropical rainforest is the major sink of carbon dioxide on Earth. This study aims to understand the carbon balance over tropical landscapes by determining how much carbon is being absorbed by vegetation and how much is being emitted back to the atmosphere in the form of biogenic volatile organic compounds in different vegetation landscapes, i.e. primary forest, secondary forest, and oil palm plantations. …”
