the molecular phylogenetic trees of 42 representative samples of malaysian pangasiid were constructed using cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi). the topologies resulting from molecular analyses, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and bayesian inference, revealed the paraphyly of pangasius genus and monophyly of p. nasutus, p. bocourti, p. micronemus, and p. hypopthalmus with high support v...

Misidentifications of Burkholderia pseudomallei as Burkholderia cepacia by Vitek 2 have occurred. Multidimensional scaling ordination of biochemical profiles of 217 Malaysian and Australian B. pseudomallei isolates found clustering of misidentified B. pseudomallei isolates from Malaysian Borneo. Specificity of B. pseudomallei identification in Vitek 2 and potentially other automated identificat...

Shrimp aquaculture is playing a vital role in Malaysian agriculture, especially its increasing contribution to economic growth. White shrimp aquaculture is not only the key player in brackish water shrimp aquaculture but also the largest contributor to Malaysian shrimp aquaculture.

Weedy rice is a conspecific form of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) that infests rice fields and results in severe crop losses. Weed strains in different world regions appear to have originated multiple times from different domesticated and/or wild rice progenitors. In the case of Malaysian weedy rice, a multiple-origin model has been proposed based on neutral markers and analyses of domestic...

1 Both perceptual errors (failing to perceive) and appraisal errors (failing to make a correct judgment about 2 safety) could explain the relatively high number of pulling out at the junctions involving approaching 3 motorcycles in relation to cars. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of 4 exposure to motorcycles on these types of errors by comparing drivers from Malaysia w...

Abstract For the proper growth of fish, it is necessary to feed fish with a and balanced diet. A study was conducted find out effect different protein-based diets on fingerlings Tor putitora (mahseer). dietary protein levels 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% were prepared. The weight gain, standard rate (SGR), food conversion ratio (FCR), percent efficiency (FCE), (PER) studied. An increase observed in an con...

Religious place attachment is an affective bond that develops between people and their religious settings. The published literature shows that although religion has a significant impact on the public ‘place attachment’, the architectural features and attributes of the places could still play an influencing role in strengthening this attachment. However, the role of architectural characteristics...
