Aplastic anaemia is a rare disease which is more prevalent in the Far East. In Malaysia, it appears to be unusually common in the state of Sabah. A retrospective analysis of all cases of aplastic anaemia diagnosed between January 1993 and March 1996 was undertaken.

Northwest Borneo orogene. The shelf widens to more than 300 km toward the south in Sarawak and measures about 100 km in the north in Sabah. Structural deformation is most severe onshore and decreases toward the offshore, where all the currently producing East Malaysian fields are located. The two largest offshore oil fields, the Baronia field in northern Sarawak and the Samarang field in southe...

In previous studies, the efficiency of the Half-Sweep Multigrid method has been shown to be very fast as compared with the standard Multigrid method. This is due to its ability to reduce computational complexity of the standard method. In this paper, the primary goal is to purpose the Half-Sweep Algebraic Multigrid (HSAMG) method using the HSCN finite difference scheme for solving one-dimension...

Layang-Layang is a small island part of an oceanic atoll in the Spratly Islands off Sabah, Malaysia. As the reef coral fauna in this part of the South China Sea is poorly known, a survey was carried out in 2013 to study the species composition of the scleractinian coral families Fungiidae, Agariciidae and Euphylliidae. A total of 56 species was recorded. The addition of three previously reporte...

The simian parasite Plasmodium knowlesi causes severe human malaria; the optimal treatment remains unknown. We describe the clinical features, disease spectrum, and response to antimalarial chemotherapy, including artemether-lumefantrine and artesunate, in patients with P. knowlesi malaria diagnosed by PCR during December 2007-November 2009 at a tertiary care hospital in Sabah, Malaysia. Fifty-...

Solar energy in Malaysia was first introduced as one of the five fuels in electricity generation through the Fifth Fuel Policy in 2001. However, the current real harnessing of available solar sources is still below its actual potential. This study examined the non-technical barriers towards solar energy implementation in Sabah located on the Borneo Island on eastern part of Malaysia. Following ...
