FB-S0006 Multi-fractal Techniques for Emphysema Classification in Lung Tissue Images

Musibau Ibrahim and Ramakrishnan Mukundan

University of Canterbury

Abstract—This paper presents a multi-fractal based approach for the classification of

emphysema patterns by calculating the local singularity coefficients of an image using

different intensity measures. One of the primary statistical measures of self-similarity used in

the processing of tissue images is holder exponent (α-value) that represents the power law

which the intensity distribution satisfies in local pixel neighbourhoods. The fractal dimension

corresponding to each α-value gives a multi-fractal spectrum f(α) that could be used as a

feature descriptor for classification. Experimental results show that multi-fractal spectrum

could be effectively used for the classification of histopathological cases. Some important

implementation aspects of the multi-fractal based classification scheme that could be used for

improving classification accuracy are also discussed.

L0003 Oral Intake of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine Suppresses the Growth of Helicobacter Pylori in

Gastric Mucosa of Mongolian Gerbils by Increasing Gland Mucus

Jun Yamada, Takeshi Hattori, Tomoya Ueno, Daiki Kubomura, and Hideki Matsuda

Yaizu Suisankagaku Industry Co., Ltd.

Abstract—Oral intake of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) for 24 weeks suppressed the

growth of Helicobacter pylori in the gastric mucosa of Mongorian gerbils. Inhibition was

confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Histochemical analysis

revealed that, as compared with intake of normal chow, intake of GlcNAc led to a significant

increase in gland mucus, which contains gland mucus cell mucin, in the stomach of gerbils

infected with H. pylori. Gland mucus cell mucin has O-glycans that contain terminal

α1,4-linked GlcNAc residues, which are known to suppress H. pylori growth. We conclude

that oral GlcNAc intake led to an increase in terminal α1,4-linked GlcNAc residues in gland

mucus cell mucin and this increase in terminal GlcNAc residues inhibited the growth of H.

pylori in the gerbil‘s stomach.

L0004 The Effects of Ph and Cell Density to the Responses of Immobilized Cyanobacteria for

Copper Detection

Rubban Kunasakaran, Sughan Vijayan, Wong Ling Shing, and Mee Kin Chai

Inti International University

Abstract—Rapid urbanization and industrialization lead to heavy metal pollution which

poses a serious threat to human‘s health. Thus, there is a continuing need to develop a device

that can be easily used to monitor and detect the presence of heavy metal pollution. Whole

cells e.g. cyanobacteria have been reported as potential bio-indicators for environmental

heavy metals detection. However, the intensity of the biological responses of these cells is

affected by pH and the cell density. In this paper, the effect of pH and cell density to the

response of cyanobacteria Anabaena cylindrica to copper (Cu) is reported. The cyanobacteria

were cultured and immobilized with agarose in cuvettes before the exposure to Cu solution

(1.0 mg/L). The measurement was carried out with OD= 680 nm using a spectrophotometer,

which indicated the changes of chlorophyll. The most significant response of the cells was

measured at pH 8 and the optimal density of the cell for the detection was 500,000 cell/mL.

This study was an important stage to determine the potential of A. cylindrica to be used in

heavy metal detection.

L0006 Effect of Cytokinins on In Vitro Regeneration of Cardamine hirsuta from Nodal Explants

Weng Hing Thong and Kasturi Madhialagan

Inti International University

Abstract—An efficient protocol has been established for the regeneration of Cardamine

hirsuta. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of types and concentrations of

cytokinins on in vitro regeneration of C. hirsuta, an important medicinal and edible plant.

Nodal explants of C. hirsuta were cultured in Murashige & Skoog (MS) media containing

kinetin or zeatin singly at concentrations of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mg /L. MS medium

devoid of plant growth regulators served as control. The growth parameter observed

including number of shoots, leaves, and roots. 2.0 mg/L zeatin induced the highest number of

shoots and leaves. 1.0 mg/L kinetin-treated explants showed the highest formation of roots.

From the results obtained, it was learnt that 2.0 mg/L zeatin was a more effective cytokinin

compared to kinetin for in vitro regeneration of C. hirsuta as it induced the highest shoot and

leaf growth while minimizing root formation. Concentrations of zeatin above optimal level

not only caused stunted growth, but also resulted in hyperhydration. In conclusion, in vitro

regeneration can serve as an alternative propagation method for C. hirsute.

L1001 Immunosensing Interface Based on Diazonium Cations Modified Indium Tin Oxide

Nadiya T. Darwish, Yatimah B.Alias, and Khor S. Mei

University Malaya

Abstract—An electrochemical biosensing interface –was fabricated for immunological based

detection. Biosensing interface contains linker molecule 1,4-Phenyl diamine (PPD) for

immunosensing application was grafted via electrochemical reduction/in situ deposition of

aryl diazonium salts on indium tin oxide electrode (ITO) . The Reductive adsorption

behaviour through electrochemical measurement for (PPD) were studied .The deposition of

PPD was also confirmed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Field

emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to characterize the morphology of the

grafted films and the distribution of the linker molecules 1,4-Phenylenediamine which bound

to the gold nanoparticles (GNP). The reductive adsorbtion peak of PPD was observed at –

0.36 V and the electrode surface modified with diazonium salts shows suppression of the

peak current when tested in both the Fe(CN)63− and Ru(NH3)63+solution which attributed

to the formed layer on the electrode surface repell/resist those redox probes to be diffused to

the electrode surface. FTIR spectra of modified electrode shows a broad peak at 3505 cm__1

which clearly indicates that the NH2 group of diazonium salt were presence on the surface of

the modified surface. FE_SEM images of modified ITO shows granular -like structures

indicate the presence of a diazonium salt with excellent distribution of GNP.

Cortex and Hippocampus

Manju Tembhre, Shanta Ahirwar, Sandhya Gour, and Anjali Namdeo

M K Ponda College of Business and Management, Lambakheda

Abstract—The objective of present study was to evaluate the in vivo effect of Bacopa

monnieri leaf extract (100 mg/kg) and acephate (37.8 mg/kg) on Acetylcholinesterase

(AChE) activity, kinetics and histology of cerebral cortex and hippocampus of brain of male

albino rat. AChE activity was measured spectrophotometrically according to the method of

Ellman et al..The acephate inhibited AChE activity strongly in cerebral cortex (72.5%; P <

0.02) than in hippocampus (55.6 %; P < 0.02). Bacopa monnieri similarly elicited higher

AChE inhibition in cerebral cortex (51.6 %; P < 0.05) than in hippocampus (38 %; P < 0.01).

However, synergistic inhibitory effect was recorded in rats pretreated with Bacopa monnieri

followed by acephate exposure. Kinetic study of treated groups demonstrated competitive

AChE inhibition in the brain regions, which was evident by increased Km and unchanged

Vmax values against the control group. The histopathological examinations showed

degeneration of pyramidal cells, deformity of neurocytes and vacuole formation in

cytoplasm. These changes were pronounced with acephate. Our result shows that Bacopa

monnieri has anti-cholinesterase potential hence it could provide novel pharmacological

leads of potential benefit to the treatment of Alzheimer‘s disease and therefore warrant

further investigation.

L1003 The Role of Environmental and Genetical Factors in both Migraine Headaches and Multiple

Sclerosis

Haniyeh Rahbar Kafshboran and Abbas Nikravesh

Islamic Azad University

Abstract—Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory process, which aetiology is not

yet completely understood. Studies investigating a proposed association between multiple

sclerosis (MS) and migraine have produced conflicting results especially in young female

and a great range in the prevalence rate of migraine in MS patients. Also, studies suggest

migraine as a risk factor for appearance and developing the MS and the severity of disease.

Since the fact that the environmental and genetic factors play role in the pathology of both

mentioned illnesses, in this study we compared the role of some these factors in both

migraine and MS.

L2004 Biological Responses of Tropical Cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia cornuta to Different Algae Diets

Hasnun Nita Ismail, Umi Wahidah Ahmad Dini, and Chia Chay Tay

Universiti Teknologi Mara

Abstract—The biological responses of tropical cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia cornuta fed on

different algae diets were investigated under laboratory conditions. Two types of microalgae,

Chlorella (C) and Scenedesmus (S) were given as mono-algal diet and multi-algal diet (CxS).

The different types of algae diets have significantly altered the biological responses of C.

cornuta. Diet contained Chlorella alone promoted high longevity, fast egg development,

early maturation, increased egg clutch number and increased egg and offspring production.

As a result, animals showed higher survival, faster development and greater reproductive

output. On the other hand, diet with Scenedesmus alone supports for higher growth rate more

than Chlorella. Despite of the opposite algal effect, diet combination of both algal (Chlorella

x Scenedesmus) enhanced all biological responses. Therefore, this study suggests that the diet

combination of both algae is the optimum diet to boost up the survival, development and

reproduction of C. cornuta. This outcome has provides the guideline to choose the suitable

algal species which can maximize the biological performance of C. cornuta.

L3004 Adoption of Integrated Pest Management by Farmers in Orumba South Local Government

Area of Anambra State, Nigeria

Angela Ngozi Obiajulu

Federal College of Education (Technical)Umunze

Abstract─The study assessed the level of adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

among the farmers in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria.

Questionnaire was used to illicit responses from the 140 farmers randomly selected from the

area. It was observed that only 16.43% of the farmers had adopted IPM approach in their pest

control operations in the area. The results of multiple regression analysis on the

socio-economic characteristics of the farmers revealed that age, among other factors,

positively influenced the farmers‘ level of adoption of IPM. It further showed that years of

experience in pesticide application is one of the factors that had negative influence on the

adoption of IPM technology. Poor extension services and poor knowledge of 1PM innovation

were among the identified constraints to IPM adoption in the area. The paper suggested

active farmers‘ participation in the on-going FADAMA III project aimed at assisting the

farmers with financial and other agricultural inputs and vigorous extension practices aimed at

disseminating agricultural innovations like IPM to the farmers.

ESR-S0005 Sediment Toxicity Assessment by Algal Growth Inhibition Assay

Jaber Al-Shammari and Mirza Umair Beg

Kuwait University, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR)

Abstract—Marine sediment is considered to be a sink of most of the particulate bound

pollutants. However, these pollutants may be leached during re-suspension of sediment and

exert adverse effects on the water column organism. Algal growth inhibition assay was used

as surrogate to water column organisms to determine the toxicity of sediment. The study

showed that algal growth inhibition test could differentiate very toxic, toxic, mildly toxic

and non-toxic sediments. The IC50 values indicated hot spots in Kuwait‘s marine area

where sediment released bioavailable contaminants causing inhibition in algal growth. The

test also indicated growth stimulatory contaminants present in sediment that can enhance

algal growth at the site and cause adverse effect on the ecosystem. Algal growth inhibition

test is an addition to the existing multi-trophic battery of tests used for water or sediment

quality assessment in our laboratory.

ESR-S0009 The Needs for Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) Implementation Progress

Assessment in Malaysia

Anis Syazwani Sukereman and Robiah Suratman

UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA, SKUDAI

Abstract—Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has attracted much global

attention as the recommended approach to help countries achieve solutions to water crisis

management. Many policies and programs have been set up to ensure the IWRM can be

effectively implemented. However, in Malaysia the implementation of IWRM is still

remains in doubt. To date, there is no authorized framework for assessing the

implementation progress among various stakeholders. Although a good example of the

monitoring initiatives on IWRM implementation have been developed at global and

national level; it has only been used widely as general references. Therefore, the study

aimed to explore the significance in assessing IWRM implementation progress, so as to

offer an alternative way for progress monitoring and help stakeholders better recognize if

Malaysia is on the right track in sustaining its water resources. In line, this paper promotes

the need to develop a framework for IWRM Implementation Progress Assessment as a

work performance guideline especially to the various stakeholders involved.

ESR-S0014 Forecasting the Mean of Monthly Rainfall by Applying Time Series (Case Study: Baba -

Amman Bojnourd Pluviometer Station)

Abbas A. Ghezelsofloo, Mahbobe Hajibigloo, and ReyhanaAzimi

Gorgan University of Iran

Abstract—The limitation of water recourses caused to obtain water for agricultural and non

– agricultural requirement is occurred. Rain is considered as the most particles of renewable

resources. Rainfall forecast and evaluates the value of them in every month or year and for

every region or basin area as the most meteorological parameters is most important in water

recourses. For prediction of rainfall, we can use times series. The aim of this research is

study of the best rainfall estimation model. By applying monthly rainfall in 30 years period

(1350-1380) by using of MINITAB software estimated the last 10 years of monthly rainfall

period (1381-1391) in Baba - Amman Bojnourd pluviometer station in North Khorasan.

With comparing the estimated value of monthly rainfall with real corresponding values

determined the patterns which have been most parameters and their autoregressive mean is

more than one, for next year‘s different values will be estimated. These different are

districted in many years. This is exceeded than autoregressive mean. Coefficient

determination between real values and forecast values in case study station is 0.64.

Abstract—Industrial livestock activities are considered as the most pernicious and harmful

ones leading to increased water shortage problem all over the world. Managing livestock

sewages and selecting the most proper method in order to excrete them play a significant

role in enhancing the quality of water resources. Livestock intensity is not regarded as the

only parameter affecting water quality that is in time managing of livestock products is also

of an outstanding importance. According to the studies conducted on the study area, most of

the methods to excrete excreta and effluent caused by livestock, poultry and aquaculture are

executed in non-standard modes whereas more than 300 thousand tons of livestock excreta

are produced in industrial livestock keeping centers located at Mashhad plain annually.

These centers produces more approximately 104 and 36 cubic meters of nitrogen and

phosphorous per year, respectively. Such an amount of contaminants cause completely

dangerous toxicities if entered into groundwater resources. In this study, along with

studying Mashhad plain aquifer characteristics, we evaluate the vulnerability of

groundwater resources to livestock caused contaminants. Finally, regarding to the important

role of the plain aquifers to provide fresh water for Mashhad metropolis and the adjacent

Monitoring of Forest Activity

Shahrizuan Bin Shafiril, Amri Yusoff, and Norma Che Yusoff

Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Abstract—Forest ecosystems have always received worldwide attention due to their

biological diversity and these forests are vital for human existence. However, the area is

decreasing due to human negligence and over-exploitation by the human population. Recent

reports show evidences of illegal logging and harvesting activities through the collection of

environmental data. This research characterizes the dynamics, cycle of temperature,

humidity, and phase particles of a prototype device for data collection. The hardware

components for this prototype will consist of temperature and humidity sensors, solar Lipo

Rider for self-powering device and phase particle sensors. Sensor data has been identified

as salient data for the preservation and protection of the biological ecosystem, in terms of

population wellbeing and prolonged heritage. Therefore, the development of this

Automated System Detecting Environment (ASDE) will be useful in assisting regulatory

bodies, researchers and ecologists to identify changes within the ecosystem

and 5 to 2,753 g m-2

d-1

during wet and dry seasons, respectively, and higher

CH4 and CO2 emissions were found during the wet season than in the dry season. It is

concluded that special consideration must be given to landfill cover soil in order to enhance

CH4 oxidation and, thereby, reduce CH4 emissions.

ESR-S0033 Attributes in Fostering Waste Segregation Behaviour

Tee Sin-Yee and Low Sheau-Ting

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Abstract—This study focuses on attributes to foster waste segregation behaviour in

organization. Recycle can reduce the amount of waste in sustainable way. Segregate the

waste before recycling is important to avoid contamination of waste which could diminish

the value of recycling. Segregate the waste before recycling can increase recycle rate as

well. A preliminary study conducted in organizational setting indicates that waste

segregation behaviour among the community in organisation was found not encouraging.

Critical literature search over previous studies conducted in related discipline shows total of

four attributes affecting the waste segregation behaviour among the community:

accessibility to the recycling bins, information on recycling, incentive for the segregate the

waste, and reminder to the users to segregate waste. The attributes identified from the

literature review will provide a guidance in fostering the waste segregation behaviour in a

community.

connected to the mean sea level. Ground water levels from the well top surface were

measured using water level indicator. Water quality parameters such as pH, total hardness,

chlorides (Cl), iron (Fe), electric conductivity (E.C), sulphates (SO42-

), nitrates (NO3-),

cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) were analyzed. These parameters were

estimated using standard procedures and the results were compared with environmental

quality standards. The results indicated that the water quality of the study area exceed the

permissible limits of standards. This showed that the ground water of the study area was

contaminated due to the industrial effluents.

ESR-S4003 Mineralization of An Azo Dye Reactive Red 195 by Advanced Electrochemical

Electro-Fenton Process

Nader Djafarzadeh

Islamic Azad University, Miyaneh Branch

Abstract—In this paper, the electro-Fenton (EF) process was used for Degradation of a

monoazo dye, Reactive Red 195 (RR195). Hydrogen peroxide was electro-generated by

reduction of dissolved oxygen in acidic solution. EF process allows the production of active

intermediates, which react with the organic compounds leading to their mineralization. In

the electrochemical cell carbon paper (CP) was used as cathode and a Pt sheet was used as

anode. The experiments were conducted at room temperature in an open, undivided and

cylindrical glass cell of 500 mL capacity. H2O2 was continuously generated from the

two-electron reduction of O2 at cathode electrode while Fe3+

was added to the solution. The

effect of operational parameters such as applied current, initial pH and reaction time was

studied in an attempt to reach the higher dye removal efficiency. The degradation of RR195

was followed by total organic carbon (TOC) analysis. The results of TOC measurements

indicated that electro-Fenton with carbon paper allowed 75% degradation after 240 min of

electrolysis.

M. Zainora Asmawi and Abdul Razak Abd Aziz

INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA

Abstract—The concern for the natural and built environment has become crucial in relation

to the concept of sustainable development. Literatures show that the ecological design (ED)

concept has produced positive results in supporting the achievement of sustainable

development though it faces many challenges amongst public and other stakeholders of its

importance towards green environment. This research attempts to seek the level of the ED

compliance in the Putra University of Malaysia campus. The objectives are: (1) to

determine the present ED features that are being practised in education building in the

campus; and (2) to identify the level of compliance of ED variables in the campus. An

observation survey of 23 selected buildings within the campus was conducted, based on a

set of pre-determined five variables and its sub-variables in determining the level of

compliance to ED. The results demonstrated that the level was relatively moderate, and

many buildings failed to comply with some variables of ED. It is concluded that the

research has met its outlined objectives in which the findings demonstrate that the level of

ED compliance in the campus can be considered as moderate.

ESR-S0016 Rainfall Classification for Flood Prediction Using Meteorology Data of Kuching, Sarawak,

Malaysia: Backpropagation Vs Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Soo See Chai, Wei Keat Wong, and Kok Luong Goh

University of Malaysia Sarawak

Abstract—Rainfall is often defined by stochastic process due to its random characteristics,

i.e. space and time dependent and it is therefore, not easy to predict. In general, rainfall is a

highly non-linear and complicated phenomenon. In order to acquire an accurate prediction,

advanced computer modeling and simulation is required. Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

has been successfully used to predict the behavior of such non-linear system. Among the

different types of ANN models used, Backpropagation Network (BPN) and Radial Basis

Function Networks (RBFN) are the two common ANN models that had produced valuable

results. However, there was no study conducted to research on which, among these two

methods, is the better model for rainfall forecast. Therefore, this study will fill this gap by

comparing the capabilities of these two ANN models in rainfall forecast using metrological

data from year 2009 to 2013 obtained from Malaysian Meteorological Department for

Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. From the research, it is concluded that, BPN (MSE≈0.16,

R≈0.86) performs better as compared to RBFN (MSE≈0.22, R≈0.82).

ESR-S0023 New Improved Algorithm for Calibration Unipolar Weather Radar by Radar-Rainfall

Relationships Analysis

A. Nikahd, M. Hashim, and M. J. Nazemosadat

Institute of Geospatial Science and Technology (INSTeG), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Abstract—Unipolar ground-based weather radar has been a widely-used instrument for

rainfall measurement. These radar measurements however need to be calibrated for more

accurate rainfall estimation. This article introduces a new calibration approach using

reflectivity-rainfall rate (Z-R) relationship. Based on previous work utilizing the

radar-rainfall relationship; this article hypothesizes that the rainfall measurement from

ground based radar are affected by distance from radar and rainfall time duration. Two

consecutive year's unipolar ground-based radar data sets with 190 occurrences of rainfall

from 43 stations in calibration window of three hours. The results indicated that

radar-rainfall relationship bZ aR is better improvise with consider distance from radar and

rainfall time duration (R2 min= 58, R

2max=98). This new contribution is crucial for

minimizing uncertainties for accurate rainfall measurement and related-derived hydro

meteorological parameters to for input into various tasks in sustainable water resource

management especially in ensuring water security and mitigating rainfall-based disasters.

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Abstract—In Malaysia, the total energy consumption is high particularly in commercial

sector. The building‘s energy demand is among the main contributors to the country‘s

energy use. National Energy Balance 2012 stated that commercial sector is the second

higher which contributed 33.2% of energy usage after industry 45.1% and followed by

residential sector of 21.2%. One of the major challenges faced by facilities manager is to

reduce the building‘s energy consumption. Although there are previous energy conservation

programs launched, the energy conservation progress in building still lacking behind. To

improve building user‘s energy conservation behaviour effectively, selection of right

communication channels then distributes energy conservation messages with the right

communication channels remains an important strategy. Critical literature search found that

there are six types of communication channels are appropriate to be used to foster energy

conservation behaviour: dialogue oriented approach, mass media, print media, outdoor

media, audio visual media and utility items.

ESR-S0035 Assessment of the Effects of Community Expansion and Land Use Transformation on a

Coastal Area in Thailand

Siriluk Prukpitikul, Payatipol Narangjavana, and Ruangrai Tokrisna

KU-SLUSE, Kasetsart University

Abstract—This study investigates land use change over the past 12 years at Chao Samram

beach, Thailand, and evaluates the physical, social, and economic impact on the area. From

1999 to 2011, land use changed significantly, especially in the urban, aquaculture and salt

flat, and bare land areas. Conversely, we observe that the area covered by mangrove forests

and water did not decrease significantly. Only the area used for agriculture and rice farming

decreased. We also note that the density distribution of communities along the coast was

according to the economic and social development plan of the municipal district, and

population density has increased continuously since 2004. Economic activity revolves

around two sectors: rice farming accounts for 59.29% of total income and tourism, 36.6%.

An investigation of the physical landscape indicates that the beach eroded severely during

2005–2006 and 2009–2010 and finds evidence of accretion in 2004–2005 and 2008–2009.

The total economic loss that occurred because of the threatened land and buildings is

approximately 177.69 million baht. This study concludes that to understand coastal zone

development, we need to consider the long-term physical, social, and economic losses.

ESR-S3001 The Impact of Wave Blocking from Ship Hulls on the Stability of Tg. Piai Coastline

Jacob Hjelmager Jensen and Juan C Savioli and Ms. Khairunnisa Saaban

Technical University of Denmark

Abstract—Tg. Piai, located on the southern tip of west Malaysia in Johor, is subject to

critical coastal erosion on the east side of the headland, and, as a consequence, severe loss

of protected mangrove coastline has been observed over the past 20 years. Various triggers

for this erosion have been proposed, all being linked to the extensive developments of the

region, and the increase in marine activities in the waters of Singapore Strait. In this study,

impacts on the regional (ambient) wave field, by the presence of ships in the Strait of

Singapore, are investigated. Waves are partially reflected off the hulls of the ships, and the

extensive presence of ships in the Strait of Singapore thus manifests itself as a blocking of

the ambient wave field, resulting in a wave climate near Tg. Piai that depend on the

congestion of ships. The integrated effect of the ship hull-induced wave reflections on the

ambient wave field is evaluated by using the numerical modelling tool MIKE 21.

Information on the number, the positions and the sizes of the ships are determined from

satellite images. It is found that the impacts of ship hull-induced wave reflections on the

nearshore wave field at Tg. Piai are significant, and, in particular, that the impacts on

nearshore wave periods are pronounced. The MIKE 21 model predicts significant

reductions in the wave periods at Tg. Piai when including the ships. These changes in the

wave periods can explain the changes to the coastal morphology observed at Tg. Piai,

including the coastal erosion, from the notion that the longer waves in the wave spectrum

tend to push sediment in the coastal profile onshore, whereas the shorter waves moves

sediment seaward.

Faculty of Plantation&Agrotechnology Universiti Teknologi MARA(UiTM)

Abstract—Conversion of peat land into pineapple farm by small scale farmers had resulted

in modification of soil chemistry and microstructures, which was inadequately discussed in

Malaysia. This study was designed to monitor the implications of pineapple cultivation on

chemistry and microstructure of peat soils. Microscopic study verified samples from

pineapple field demonstrate a highly degradable peat materials compared to natural peat.

Despite the presence of fertilization in pineapple plot, nutrient availability specifically total

N, available P, and exchangeable K, Ca, Mg and Na is much lower than natural plot. This

study suggested the dynamics of peat chemistry is much affected by acidic condition and

degradation of peat materials, which is highly dependent on creation of aerobic and

anaerobic environment.

Abstract—Peat profile exhibits a unique water table dynamics which impinge fate of

elements in the system. This work aimed to study the microstructure and elemental

composition of peat profiles using FESEM coupled with EDX techniques. Peat profiles

were divided into aerobic peat, anaerobic peat, transitional peat, mineral soils under

transitional peat and bottom mineral soils. Results demonstrated darker colour of former

layers and brighter gray colour of later layers. Water extracted from peat profiles were rich

in N, P, K, Ca and Mg. Microscopic image illustrates different stages of peat disintegration

experienced by each layer. The EDX results reveals astounding amount of N, Mg, K, Al and

Fe in transitional peat and mineral soils underneath, which was absence in peat layers. From

this study, it is believed there was a deposition and movement of elements upward and

downward peat profiles, concurrent with the fluctuating water table.

ESR-S4006 Soil Degradation in Part of Keffi Plain, Northern Nigeria

Idris Jaiyeoba and Jane Nwokelo

Federal University Lokoja

Abstract—This paper represents a ‗hybrid research‘ that integrate a scientific assessment of

soil degradation on farmers‘ field and the farmer‘s perceptions of the degradation processes

in five villages in Keffi area, north central Nigeria. Although there was less agreement on

factors that caused soil degradation, the scientific and community based derived

information were after all not as disparate as they are often perceived to be. Both support

the idea that severe soil degradation was present at community lands. All of the respondents

were aware of the important link between soil loss and agricultural production, as is the

relationship between some natural factors and landuses, and soil loss. However, there was

no evidence of a correspondingly equal desire of farmers to invest in the control of soil

degradation. The study thus provides a useful benchmark against which future changes of

attitude, and soil conservation progress might be measured in the study area.

few decades due to its viscoelastic properties that can suppress the turbulent in pipelines.

One of the many issues facing the use of these additives is its resistance to high shear forces

during the transportation where it can be easily degraded where they pass them a pump. In

the present work, polymer-surfactant complexes of anionic polymer and nonionic surfactant

are investigated to prove its capability in enhancing the drag reduction and mechanism

degradation performance. The interaction between anionic polymer Poly

(acrylamide-co-diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride) and nonionic surfactant tween 20 in

aqueous solution has been studied by using rheology, rotating disk apparatus (RDA) and

pipe loop techniques. The effect of polymer concentration, surfactant concentration and

rotational speed in enhancing the drag reduction were studied. The results showed that

almost 35% drag reduction can be obtained. In addition, the effect of the degradation on the

mixtures as a function in the time has been discussed also.

Abstract—The objective of this paper to present a potential of jacalin (protein extract from

A. heterophyllus seed) against human breast cancer (MCF7) and non-small lung carcinoma

(H1299). The extraction and purification were carried out by phosphate buffer precipitation

and reverse miceller, respectively. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium

bromide (MTT) assay and trypan blue exclusion methods were performed to study the

cytotoxic activity. Jacalin and crude protein was compared in cytotoxic activity against

MCF7 and H1299 cancer cells and the result showed jacalin more effective than crude

protein, 64.73 and 75.54 percent for MCF7 and 67.71 and 68.39 percent for H1299,

respectively. Jacalin also found very active against MCF7 compared to H1299 cancer cells

and expected IC50 for both cancer cells would be reached if concentration of jacalin will

extended in cytotoxic activity analysis.

Muscle Using Biomicroscopy

Elena Kostromina

Moscow State University

Abstract—Understanding the mechanisms underlying the regulation of vessel diameter and

blood flow in the microcirculation is critically important for studying adaptive responses in

microvascular networks, and therefore, could facilitate the development of treatment

strategies for vascular disorders. Wall shear stress (WSS) induced by blood flow is

considered a significant factor determining the architecture of the microvascular bed;

however, the mechanisms regulating this process are not completely understood. The aim of

this study was to estimate WSS values in arterioles of different sizes and locations within a

microvascular bed, and to establish the relationship between WSS, wall-to-lumen ratio

(WLR), and other microcirculatory parameters in the rat skeletal muscle microvasculature

under normal physiological conditions. To perform quantitative analysis, data obtained

from intravital microscopic examination of 14 microvascular networks were used. Wall

thickness, WLR, WSS, and blood flow were estimated in arteriolar segments, for which the

outer and inner diameters, blood flow velocity, and location within the network were

determined. It was found that along the arteriolar tree, WSS varied within a wide range, and

a direct correlation between WLR and WSS was revealed. The established relationship

between WLR and WSS points to the coupled roles of transmural pressure and shear stress

in the development and adaptation of arteriolar networks, and could be used for the

development of computational models of terminal vascular beds.

FB-S0004 Gellan Gum Film Containing Virgin Coconut Oil for Wound Dressing Application

Nur Arifah Ismail, Maizatul Akma Ibrahim and Khairul Anuar Mat Amin

UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA TERENGGANU

Abstract—Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a promising candidate in promoting healing process

due to its biocompatibility and antibacterial activities. In this work, we investigated the

potential of VCO incorporated in gellan gum (GG) films to apply as wound dressing

materials. Non-ionic surfactants, i.e., Triton X-102 and Tween-20 were used to obtain stable

emulsions due to immiscible behavior between GG and VCO. Stable formation of

GG-VCO films was successfully obtained by using surfactants at above their critical

micelle concentrations, i.e. 1% (w/v) for Triton X-102 and 1.2% (w/v) for Tween-20. Cell

proliferation exhibited that VCO is non-cytotoxic to human skin fibroblast cells (CRL2522)

with limited cell growth observed on the film‘s surface which might be due to hydrophobic

influence of physic-chemistry of the materials surface. The in-vitro qualitative bacterial

study showed that GG-VCO films do not inhibit both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus

aureus at all concentrations.

Som Bose, Siddharth Srivastava, Aditya Agarwaland Vidushi Goyal

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

Abstract—Gait inconsistencies are a direct measure of a variety of diseases. Despite the fact

that they should be one of the simplest parameters to measure, the laboratory-based analysis

of gait cycle makes it inaccessible to a lot of people due to large area requirements and high

cost. This paper proposes a novel method for gait cycle calculation and inconsistency

detection. A simple setup consisting of a single-axis accelerometer and a microcontroller

has been used to analyze the accelerometer data in a computer simulation; hence, the

feasibility of making a low-cost embedded system for gait cycle calculation has been

shown.

Abstract—In this study, an efficient and easy implementation metrics to determining stress

level of drivers is proposed. For the evaluation, data have been obtained from Stress

Recognition in Automobile Drivers database in the PhysioNet databank. Evaluations have

been completed by using the available segment based arrays of electromyography (EMG),

foot based galvanic skin response (Foot GSR), hand based galvanic skin response (Hand

GSR), heart rate (HR) and instantaneous respiratory rate (IRR) derived from respiration by

using peak detection algorithm. Comparisons of overall mean values of statistic metrics

obtained by using EMG, Foot GSR, Hand GSR, HR and IRR showed that all of these

FB-S0008 Selective Activation of Four Fascicles Using a Four Contact Nerve-Cuff Electrode with

Anodic Steering Current

Hamed Taghipour Farshi and Javad Frounchi

Islamic Azad University

Abstract—Any one of the four motor nerves in the cat sciatic nerve could be activated

selectively and independently, from threshold to saturation, using a self-sizing spiral cuff

electrode containing four radially placed monopolar contacts. The results of these

experiments support the hypothesis that selective and independent activation of any of four

motor fascicles in the cat sciatic nerve is possible using a four contact self-sizing spiral cuff

electrode. Furthermore, in a more general case, these results support the concept of a

―tunable‖ electrode that is capable of ―steering‖ the excitation from an undesirable location

to a preferred location.

Samir Djimli and Abla Chaker

University of Constantine1

Abstract—The main objective of this work is to make the numerical analysis of velocity

fields and temperature (heat transfer) in a solar chimney with different numbers of

Rayleigh. The problem is to study natural turbulent convection in a tow dimensionless

system, with well-defined boundary conditions. The results obtained, for the different

studied cases, are compared to show the influence of various parameters. Particular

attention is paid to the velocity profiles and to horizontal and vertical temperature inside the

chimney. The Fluent software was used.

M. I. Fadhel, Saqaff A. Alkaff, Teo Wan Chee and K. Sopian

Multimedia University

Abstract—Toward the utilization of renewable energy for drying food and to reduce the

environmental impact from using a fossil fuel energy, the solar assisted CaO/Ca(OH)2

chemical heat pump drying system proposed to meet the demand in the drying field and for

clean environment. In this paper the solar assisted CaO/Ca(OH)2 chemical heat pump

drying system designed and evaluated for tropical region. It consists of four main

components: solar collector (evacuated tubes type), storage tank, solid-gas chemical heat

pump and dryer chamber. The reaction used in the study is CaO/Ca(OH)2. The predicted

hourly efficiency of a solar evacuated tubes was recorded in the ranges of 79.65% to

46.33%, where the mean collector temperature and ambient temperature difference was

20oC. The maximum of coefficient of performance achieved for the chemical heat pump

(COPh) was 2.87 for 0.6 m

2 solar collector area and 0.628 m

3 storage tank. The results show

the predicted coefficient of performance for chemical heat pump by using calcium chloride

with water vapor as working pair is more efficient than using metal chlorides/ammonia.

ESR-S0031 CFD Analysis of Three and Four Blades Movable Vanes Type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Having Movable Vanes

Kadhim H. Suffer, Ghulam A. Quadir, Khairul A. Ismail, and Ryspek U.

University Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

Abstract—A thorough understanding of the principles of aerodynamics and structural

dynamics of the rotor system is required for designing a wind turbine system that can

generate power with high efficiency. The power generated by a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

(VAWT) depends on the drag force generated by the individual blades and

interactions between them in a rotating configuration. The present analysis is an

attempt to predict numerically the coefficient of drag and other aerodynamic parameters for

a three and four blades Vane type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VVAWT) with different

blades and vanes position. Commercial computational fluid dynamics CFD softwares

GAMBIT and FLUENT are used in the numerical analysis where the Shear Stress Transport

(SST) k-ω turbulence closure model is used. The results are found to be similar in nature to

those reported for VAWT having different blade designs.

ESR-S0042 The 3D-Computational Study of the Heat Transfer Enhancement by Using of the

Longitudinal and Transversal Internal Fins in a Heated Horizontal Pipe

Sofiane Touahri and Toufik Boufendi

Constantine 1 University

Abstract—In this work, we numerically study the three-dimensional mixed convection heat

transfer in a horizontal pipe equipped by longitudinal and transversal attached fins on its

internal surface for the solar application such as the water or air heating with solar panel.

The longitudinal fins studied number is: 2 vertical, 4 and 8 fins, while the number of

transversal fins is 8. The considered heights fin are H=0.12 and 0.24 cm. The convection in

the fluid domain is conjugated to thermal conduction in the pipe and fins solid thickness.

The physical properties of the fluid are thermal dependant. The model equations are

numerically solved by a finite volume method with a second order spatiotemporal

discretization. As expected for the longitudinal fins, the axial Nusselt number increases with

increasing of the number and height of fins. For 𝐺𝑟∗ = 5.1 105 , the average Nusselt

number without fins is equal to 13.144. The introduce of longitudinal fins gives an

average Nusselt number equal to 16.83, 22.523 and 32.066 for 2 vertical, 4 and 8 fins

respectively. The contribution of fins located in the lower part of the tube on the

improvement of heat transfer is higher than these of the upper fins. On the other hand, the

longitudinal fins are directly involved in the increase of heat transfer. This is justified by a

high local Nusselt number along the interface of the fins. This participation is moderate in

the case of transverse fins. These are used to mix the fluid causing an increase of local

Nusselt number at the interface in the cylindrical axial sections following the transversal

fins.

Abstract—The solar chimney Power plant system (SCPPS) is a simple solar thermal power

plant that is capable of converting solar energy into thermal energy in the solar collector. In

the second stage, the generated thermal energy is converted into kinetic energy in the

chimney and ultimately into electric energy using a combination of a wind turbine and a

generator. The purpose of this study is to conduct a more detailed numerical analysis of a

collector of the SCPPS. A mathematical model based on the Navier–Stokes, continuity and

energy equations was developed to describe the solar chimney power plant collector

mechanism in detail. The governing equations were solved numerically using an iterative

technique. The temperature, velocity and pressure distributions in the solar collector are

illustrated for the city of ‗Adrar‘ – Algeria – to examine the effect of varying ambient

temperature and solar radiation on the flow in the collector. Reasonably good quantitative

agreement was obtained between the experimental data of the Manzanares (Spain)

prototype and both the numerical results.

National Monument (Chinese: 英雄纪念碑)

The National Monument is a sculpture that commemorates those who

died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese

occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which

lasted from 1948 until 1960. It is located in the Federal capital, Kuala

Lumpur. The Malaysian Houses of Parliament is situated near the

monument.

Petronas Twin Towers (Chinese: 双子塔)

The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin

Towers (Malay: Menara Petronas, or Menara Berkembar Petronas)

are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. According to the Council

on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)'s official definition and

ranking, they were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004

until surpassed by Taipei 101, but they remain the tallest twin buildings in

the world.[2] The buildings are the landmark of Kuala Lumpur with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower.

National Mosque (Chinese: 国家清真寺)

The National Mosque of Malaysia is located in Kuala Lumpur. It has a

capacity of 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2)

of beautiful gardens. The original structure was designed by a

three-person team from the Public Works Department - UK

architect Howard Ashley, and Malaysians Hisham Albakri and

Baharuddin Kassim. The mosque was built in 1965 on the site of a church, the Venning Road Brethren

Gospel Hall which had stood there since 1922 but appropriated by the Malaysian government.[2] The

mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then

newly independent Malaysia.

Malaysia Tourism Centre (Chinese: 马来西亚旅游中心)

The restored Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC or MTC) building is

endowed with a rich and colourful past. This English Cottage style

building was built during the 1930s to serve as the residence of a

wealthy Chinese tycoon named Eu Tong Sen. He was an influential

businessman in Malaya who served as a vice-president of the

Anti-Opium Society and a member of the Kinta Sanitary Board (Perak

State). After his death in 1941, this building housed the war office of the British Army. It then

became the headquarters for the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War.
