Jellyfish stings on Langkawi Island, Malaysia.
INTRODUCTION Jellyfish stings are the most frequently reported marine animal envenomation worldwide. However, data on jellyfish sting from Malaysia remains obscure due to inadequate research. METHODS We investigated the epidemiology, clinical features and treatment of patients presenting at the emergency department of Langkawi Hospital between January 2012 and December 2014. Secondary data on...
متن کاملWater Quality Mapping Using Landsat TM imagery over Penang Island, Malaysia
This study uses an empirical model, based on actual water quality of total suspended solids (TSS) measurements from the Penang Strait, Malaysia to predict TSS based on optical properties of satellite digital imagery. The study area is Penang Island, Malaysia which is situated within latitudes 5 12’ N to 5 30’ N and longitudes 100 09’ E to 100 26’ E. The proposed algorithm is based on the reflec...

This new species is characterized by the bare basal section of the female radial vein, the male ventral plate with setae, the eight pupal gill filaments divergen...
متن کاملMapping Vegetation and Forest Types using Landsat TM in the Western Ghat Region of Maharashtra, India
Vegetation plays a key role in reducing ambient temperature, moisture and pollutant capture, energy use and subsequent ground level ozone reduction. In recent years vegetation mapping has become increasingly important, especially with advancements in environmental economic valuation. The spatial information from the remote sensing satellites enables researchers to quantify and qualify the amoun...
متن کاملMapping disturbances in a mangrove forest using multi-date landsat TM imagery.
To evaluate the accounts of local fishermen, Landsat TM images (1986, 1993, 1999) were examined to assess potential losses in the mangrove forests of the Teacapán-Agua Brava lagoon system, Mexico. A binary change mask derived from image differencing of a band 4/3 ratio was employed to calculate any changes within this forested wetland. The results indicate that by 1986 approximately 18% (or 86 ...
