PARALLEL COMPUTATIONS WITH LARGE-SCALE AIR\ud POLLUTION MODELS
Large-scale mathematical models are very powerful tools in the efforts to provide more\ud
information and more detailed information about the pollution levels, especially about pollution\ud
levels which exceed certain critical values.. However, the model used must satisfy at\ud
least two conditions: (i) it must be verified that the model results are reliable and (ii) it\ud
should be possible to carry out different study by using the model. It is clear that comprehensive\ud
studies about relationships between different input parameters and the model results\ud
can only be carried out (a) if the numerical methods used in the model are sufficiently\ud
fast and (b) if the code runs efficiently on the available high-speed computers.\ud
Some results obtained recently by a new unified version of the Danish Eulerian Model will\ud
be presented in this paper
Potential of farm-rejected banana fruit (var. Cavendish) as feed for feedlot cattle [Potensi buah pisang (var. Cavendish) tolakan ladang sebagai makanan lembu fidlot]
Abstrak Kajian telah dijalankan untuk menentukan nilai pemakanan buah pisang (var. Cavendish) tolakan ladang sebagai makanan ternakan ruminan. Analisis proksimat menunjukkan bahawa kandungan protein, serabut dan mineral makro rendah dalam buah pisang. Akan tetapi, buah pisang ini tinggi dalam kandungan tenaga kasar dan mineral mikro. Hasil daripada ujikaji menunjukkan kesan positif rangsum yang mengandungi pisang terhadap pertumbuhan anak lembu jantan Brahman x Kedah-Kelantan (Bramas). Makanan ini meningkatkan kebolehcernaan bahan kering diet keseluruhan yang seterusnya meningkatkan pengambilan makanan. Pertambahan berat badan harian anak lembu jantan yang diberi rangsum mengandungi buah pisang (terutama pada 50% dan 75%) didapati lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan anak lembu yang diberi rangsum tanpa buah pisang. Walaupun kecekapan penukaran makanan kepada daging didapati rendah, rangsum yang mengandungi pisang (50% dan 75%) lebih murah dan berupaya memberikan keuntungan yang tinggi, terutama rangsum yang mengandungi 75% buah pisang. Abstract A study was conducted to determine the nutritive value of farm-rejected banana (var. Cavendish) fruit as ruminant feed. Proximate analysis showed that the fruit was low in protein, fibre and macro-mineral contents. However, banana fruit had fairly high energy content and it was a good source of trace minerals. Results of the feeding trial showed that the inclusion of banana fruit had a positive effect on the growth of Brahman x Kedah-Kelantan (Bramas) bull calves. It increased the dry matter digestibility of the total diet which in turn resulted in higher feed intake. The bulls showed better average daily gains when fed diets containing banana fruit (especially at 50% and 75% inclusion). Even though the banana fruit diets were inferior in feed conversion ratio to the control, they were more favourable in terms of feed cost per kilogram weight gain, especially with the 75% banana fruit diet
Simulation of fuel economy for Malaysian urban driving
By understanding the implications of real-world driving conditions, improved fuel economy via a strategy of key technologies can be implemented to assist fuel economy validation during development programs. Vehicles in real-world driving conditions regularly travel at idle, low and medium speeds, particularly for urban driving, and this has a crucial weight in overall vehicle fuel economy, given the residencies at the lower engine speed and load region. This paper presents the validation of the derived engine conditions representing Malaysian actual urban driving in an attempt to formulate representative fuel economy data. The measurements were conducted through on-road urban driving within Kuala Lumpur to establish representative driving conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed conditions was then validated in terms of fuel economy using a simulation. The discrepancy between the fuel economy in the proposed conditions and the real-world measurements has improved, falling to 11.9% compared to 43.1% reported by the NEDC
Directional felling within selective management system of Peninsular Malaysia: comparison between current and extended techniques
Directional felling has been implemented in Peninsular Malaysia as part of the Selective Management System (SMS) to obtain optimum yield from the forest resources while reducing damage to the environment and residual trees. Some questions regarding its effectiveness have been questioned a few times, resulting in a joint research project at Ulu Jelai Forest Reserve, Pahang, Malaysia to compare between the current directional felling technique and the new (extended) techniques, in terms of accuracy of tree felling, volume of felling logs, expected damage on residual trees, and time taken for tree felling. For this study, 38 trees were felled with the current and extended techniques. By using the extended technique, 91.3% of the trees were felled within the 0°-5° range, and 100% within the 0°-10° range, compared to 28.01% (within the 0°-5° range) using the current technique. The extended technique also recorded higher volume recovery (14% higher) and lower damage on the residual trees by almost 50%. However, the extended technique took longer time, i.e. 4.56 minutes per tree, as compared to 2.50 minutes. The main contributor to the difference is the presence of gauge cut in the extended technique. Generally, the studies suggest that the extended technique is preferred as it is safer to the feller and surrounding people, while reducing the collateral damage on the harvested trees, as well as the residual trees
Experimental study to identify common engine part load conditions between Malaysian city driving and NEDC test
This paper describes an experimental study conducted to identify the common engine part load conditions between Malaysian city driving and NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) test on a 4 cylinder gasoline fuelled engine, with multi-point fuel injection system, and continuous variable transmission vehicle. This is to pinpoint a regional area from the part load map in the attempt to strategize key technologies such as CDA (Cylinder Deactivation) or CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Technologies such as CDA or CNG do not operate at all engine operations. Due to certain drawbacks, the operation of the technologies must be strategized to obtain most benefit from the engine. With the knowledge of the common part load region, these technologies could be integrated and strategized into the region to reduce overall fuel consumption. With improvements in fuel consumption respective to the identified common part load operations, the overall fuel consumption benefit does not only serve the legislation but also most importantly benefit the local consumers who travel on Malaysian roads.

Manual and Electronic Detection of Subgingival Calculus: Reliability and Accuracy
Calculus consists of mineralised dental biofilm on the surfaces of teeth and dental prosthesis, the location of which can be detected by using a periodontal or an electronic probe. Detection of subgingival calculus is critical for successful treatment outcome in the management of periodontal patients. The aim of this study was to detect subgingival calculus using manual and electronic probe and to compare the reliability and the accuracy of both methods. The study was carried out in vitro on thirty-two extracted teeth with calculus mounted in frasaco model. A total of 192 sites on six surfaces of the teeth bucally and lingually were recorded for the presence of subgingival calculus. Manual probing of calculus depended on tactile sensation and experience; where as electronic probing gave sound and light signal. The results showed that at the depth of 1-3mm, manual probing could detect 62.7% of calculus and electronic probing could detect more at 77.1%. At the deeper sites of 4-6mm, the ability for detection using electronic probing reduced to 14.1% with failure for detection at ≥ 7mm depth. However manual probing recorded more at 25% for 4-6mm calculus and 4.7% at ≥7mm. Manual and electronic probing has different sensitivity in detecting subgingival calculus with electronic probing being more sensitive at shallow sites and failed to detect calculus at deeper sites. It also has difficulty to differentiate between calculus and other roughness on tooth surfaces. These findings highlighted the accuracy and reliability of manual detection for deeper calculus. Redesigning calibration and length of electronic probe can improve its usage. Further study on clinical application to assess the impact of both probing may benefit clinical teaching of subgingival calculus detection and the outcome of periodontal patient’s management
The study of the effect of intake valve timing on engine using cylinder deactivation technique via simulation
There are many technologies that being developed to increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines as well as reducing their fuel consumption. In this paper, the main area of focus is on cylinder deactivation (CDA) technology. CDA is mostly being applied on multi cylinders engines. CDA has the advantage to improve fuel consumption by reducing pumping losses at part load engine conditions. Here, the application of CDA on 1.6L four cylinders gasoline engine is studied. One-dimensional (1D) engine modeling work is performed to investigate the effect of intake valve strategy on engine performance with CDA. 1D engine model is constructed based on the 1.6L actual engine geometries. The model is simulated at various engine speeds at full load conditions. The simulated results show that the constructed model is well correlated to measured data. This correlated model is then used to investigate the CDA application at part load conditions. Also, the effects on the in-cylinder combustion as well as pumping losses are presented. The study shows that the effect of intake valve strategy is very significant on engine performance. Pumping losses is found to be reduced, thus improve fuel consumption and engine efficiency
Evaluating the Shelf Life of Chilled Raw and Pasteurized Goat Milk: An Analysis of Physicochemical and Microbial Content
Goat milk offers a variety of health benefits. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of refrigerated storage on the quality of unprocessed and pasteurized goat milk within a defined timeframe. In addition, also analyzes the chemical and microbiological composition of both raw and pasteurized goat milk during refrigerated storage to assess its longevity. Goat milk samples were obtained from healthy Saanen female goats, aged 3-4 years, with a body condition score (BCS) ranging from 2 to 3. The samples were taken from UniSZA Pasir Akar farm in Besut, Terengganu, Malaysia. The milk samples were processed through pasteurization. Exactly 10 goats were meticulously chosen, with each goat yielding 1 liter of milk. The goats were segregated into two cohorts: one cohort for raw milk (n=5) and the other for pasteurized milk (n=5). Subsequently, the milk samples from both groups were subjected to chilling storage experimentation at the food technology laboratory of Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) in Besut. The milk samples (duplicates) were monitored for 42 days to assess their physical characteristics. The pasteurized goat milk samples were evaluated for milk composition (fat, solid non-fat, protein, and lactose) and microbial contents (TPC and EMB) from Week 0 to Week 6. The effect of shelf life, composition values, and bacterial growth were measured weekly, and the data were presented descriptively (SEM±STD) with paired T-Test as the statistical analysis, considering p<0.15 as a significant difference. The findings revealed a downward trajectory in the physical attributes and chemical makeup of both unprocessed and pasteurized goat milk throughout the storage duration, resulting in decreases in fat, solid non-fat, protein, and lactose. The microbiological investigation revealed increased microbial levels in both raw and pasteurized milk after two weeks. Nevertheless, there was a subsequent decrease in the number of microorganisms from week 3 to week 6, indicating a phase of natural bacterial decline caused by limited nutrients and competition among bacteria. The study emphasizes the significance of maintaining sustainability in dairy production and addressing food safety concerns. It is crucial for customers to be informed about the duration of safe consumption of pasteurized milk and the potential threat of bacterial growth during prolonged cold storag
Impact of Long-Term Forest Enrichment Planting on the Biological Status of Soil in a Deforested Dipterocarp Forest in Perak, Malaysia
Deforestation leads to the deterioration of soil fertility which occurs rapidly under tropical climates. Forest rehabilitation is one of the approaches to restore soil fertility and increase the productivity of degraded areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare soil biological properties under enrichment planting and secondary forests at Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak after 42 years of planting. Both areas were excessively logged in the 1950s and left idle without any appropriate forest management until 1968 when rehabilitation program was initiated. Six subplots (20 m × 20 m) were established within each enrichment planting (F1) and secondary forest (F2) plots, after which soil was sampled at depths of 0–15 cm (topsoil) and 15–30 cm (subsoil). Results showed that total mean microbial enzymatic activity, as well as biomass C and N content, was significantly higher in F1 compared to F2. The results, despite sample variability, suggest that the rehabilitation program improves the soil biological activities where high rate of soil organic matter, organic C, N, suitable soil acidity range, and abundance of forest litter is believed to be the predisposing factor promoting higher population of microbial in F1 as compared to F2. In conclusion total microbial enzymatic activity, biomass C and biomass N evaluation were higher in enrichment planting plot compared to secondary forest. After 42 years of planting, rehabilitation or enrichment planting helps to restore the productivity of planted forest in terms of biological parameters
