Terrestrial laser scanners can rapidly acquire thousands of 3D points over a structure. The individual scan points are of relatively low precision (±2mm – ±50mm) depending on the instrument type. However, combining the dense 3D point data with judicious modelling strategies can produce a very precise surface model. A surface model has advantages for structural deformation monitoring where defle...

Miombo is the most extensive ecosystem in southern Africa, being strongly driven by fire, climate, herbivory, and human activity. Soils are major regulating supporting services, sequestering nearly 50% of overall carbon comprising a set yet unexploited functions. In this study, we used next-generation Illumina sequencing to assess patterns bacterial soil diversity two pioneer species, Brachyste...

The indigenous people of Malaysia pioneered the use Tongkat Ali for its aphrodisiac purposes. They gave at least three plants common name Ali, including E. longifolia, P. bullata and S. tuberosa. Since longifolia is most widely used root three, it has undergone extensive research compared to Proteins found in have been proven be bioactive constituent. Parameters such as pH level, moisture conte...
