PRD is one of the deficit irrigation methods applied in order to face global water scarcity by alternating left and right roots to be irrigated within certain period of time. Four treatments were compared viz. i) Control (100% full irrigation, CI), ii) 20% PRD (80% irrigation), iii) 40% PRD (60% irrigation) and iv) 60% PRD (40% irrigation) with three replications. No significant differences were recorded for volumetric soil water content (θ) of the roselle plants under different PRD treatments throughout 84 days experimental period. Plants subjected to 60% PRD showed a significant reduction in stem water potential (Ψstem) as compared to control plants on Day 56. While all plants subjected to PRD experienced mild water stress, they suffered no serious damaging effects in terms of calyx fresh weight, calyx ...

Treatment is needed for spent caustic because it typically has high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and oil-grease (OG) concentration that exceeded the limit of Department of Environment (DOE) regulations. In this study, the spent caustic were tested for its COD concentration by using a spectrophotometer and its OG concentration by using Standard 5520B, liquid-liquid, partition-gravimetric method. Then, the spent caustic was treated by using coagulation and flocculation method with aluminium sulphate as primary coagulant and activated carbon and soda ash as a coagulant aid. The optimum concentration of primary coagulant and coagulant aids was determined from Jar Test. The treated spent caustic was tested for its COD and OG concentration to determine the percentage of reduction of COD and OG concentration. It is found out that the COD concentration for untreated sent caustic is...

The adsorption process is an alternative way to remove heavy metal ions. The polymer-based adsorbent was chosen as material to remove heavy metal ions due to its economic cost, can be prepared with convenient method and excellent capability to make high adsorption towards metal ions. In this study, the synthesis and modification of amidoxime (AO) modified poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid) (poly(ANco- AA)) was carried out. Next, the effect of adsorption parameters, equilibrium and kinetic studies of cadmium ion (Cd2+) and lead ion (Pb2+) were investigated. The optimisation of adsorption parameter was analysed using Response surface methodology (RSM). The poly(AN-co-AA) was synthesised via redox polymerisation and was further chemically modified with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to produce AO modified poly(AN-co-AA) as adsorbent. Then, single batch syst...

In this study, the inertia coefficient of a vertical cylinder subjected to short crested waves was determined experimentally in a wave tank in Offshore Laboratory of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. The experiment was conducted by considering four different wave parameters pertaining to major offshore sites in Malaysian with two different diameters i.e. 16 mm and 48 mm of cylinders to simulate the tubular members of an offshore platform.

It is known as `Geramak apong' by local people. It lives and hides inside the base fronds of the nipah tree. On 7-9 November 2015,68 samples for diet composition and comparison of the stomach fullness of these crabs at disturbed and undisturbed nipah palm area were obtained using special hooks `pengait'. Later, the second samplings were done on 23`d March 2016 for the observation of the feeding behavior of this crab where three samples were obtained. Results showed that this crabs highly preferred debris (100%) and plant materials (80%) as their primary consumption on disturbed nipah palm area compared to undisturbed area where only 57.5% and 70% of debris and plant materials, respectively. For the overall of the stomach fullness of crabs, higher stomach fullness were observed during night time (41.7%) compared to...

Morphological observations of the two individuals of P. api discovered matched the original diagnosis description of the holotype species by Dring (1983). The habitats of the recently discovered individuals are closely similar to that of the holotype species as well, remarkably the leaves of low plants at limestone area. The recent collections of P. api leads to suggestion that this species may occur at other limestone areas in Borneo and further field survey at the Bornean limestone areas are needed.

Hence, starfruit contributes financially to Malaysian economics. But due to the presence of its enemies, Bactrocera carambolae, this species have created havoc in horticulture industries which lead to financial loss. This study focuses more on life history of B. carambolae that are need to be determine before any management control takes place. Generally, life cycle of fruit fly indicated six development stages: mating, oviposition, egg, larvae, pupae and adults while the larval have three development stages (1st, 2nd and 3rd instar). Techniques used in life cycle study involve: fruit fly sampling, fruit fly rearing, egg collection, inoculation, hatchability percentage, disinfestation, pupa collection and the emergence of adults. Eggs of B. carambolae took about 2 days to develop into larva. Larval stage took 6 days to complete and develop into pupa. Then, teneral adults were emerge (26 days) from pupa and will undergo 2-3 weeks of pre-oviposition period before they were fully matured. Regarding experiment 2, investigations were carried out to identify susceptibility of different maturity stage of starfruit to adult females of B. carambolae. B. carambolae species did not infest Index 1 of starfruit while Index 2 was slightly attacked. Fruits from Index 3, Index 4 and Index 5 showed significantly higher infestations than starfruit of Index 2. Among ripe starfruits, Index 5 was more attractive to B. carambolae than fruits that from Index 6 and Index 7. As starfruits ripens, it become more susceptible to B. carambolae attacked.
