In this paper, we explored the relationship between the stream-length gradient index over the Kiulu River upstream and its respective landform.The knickpoints derived from stream-length gradient index detected sudden drop in elevation that may be associated with recent tectonic activity over NW Sabah.To illustrate the changes in the stream profile,
Sedimentary evidence of glacial entrainment at Patriot Hills and Union Glacier moraines, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica
Abstract This work aims to analyze and compare the sedimentological data of Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica: Patriot/Independence Hills and Union Glacier, and how sedimentological data can be used to infer sediment entrainment.Particular attention was concentrated on morainic deposits.Remote sensing data was used Collections in the identificat

A self-powered and self-monitoring ultra-low frequency wave energy harvester for smart ocean ranches
Summary: The ocean ranch environment contains ultra-low-frequency wave energy that can be utilized for powering low-power equipment.Therefore, this article proposes a smart ocean ranch self-powered and self-monitoring system (SOR-SSS) which consists of several key components: a mass pendulum ball (MPB), a commutation wheel system (CWS), an electrom
Lab-on-a-Chip-Based PCR-RFLP Assay for the Detection of Malayan Box Turtle (Cuora amboinensis) in the Food Chain and Traditional Chinese Medicines.
The Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis) (MBT) is a vulnerable and protected turtle species, but it is a lucrative item in the illegal wildlife trade because of its great appeal as an exotic food item and in traditional medicine.Although several polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to identify MBT by various routes have been documented, their a
