Printing systems of hydrographic organisations are systems of preparation/prepress and reproduction of sea charts and navigational publications. Different procedures (conventional and digital) indicate the necessity to optimise reproduction procedure ( T., Kasum, J., 2006). Conventional printing system refers to conventional cartographic processing of the original and copying procedures for pro...

Hippocampus barbouri is one of the seahorse species found in shallow water of Malaysia. It is used as known as a global trade species in ornamental fish industry. To date, there is no documented report on seahorse aquaculture especially for H. barbouri in Malaysia even in Southeast Asia region. Seahorse aquaculture should be considered as an alternative source of seahorses to reduce the pressur...

The ball and beam system is one of the most popular laboratory setups for control education. In this paper, we design a fuzzy PD cascade controller for a ball and beam system using Asexual Reproduction Optimization (ARO) technique. The ball & beam system consists of a servo motor, a grooved beam, and a rolling ball. This system utilizes a servo motor to control ball’s position on the beam. Chan...

a simple but novel and applicable approach is proposed to solve the problem of smoothing effect of ordinary kriging estimate which is widely used in mining and earth sciences. it is based on transformation equation in which z scores are derived from ordinary kriging estimates and then rescaled by the standard deviation of sample data and the sample mean is added to the result. it bears the grea...

Efficient reproduction is important for optimal profitability on dairy operations. Unfortunately, most dairy farms do not attain optimal reproduction due to many factors related to management, health, and physiology of high-producing dairy cows. The physiology issues involved in reproduction of lactating dairy cows are complex but increasingly, the interactions between nutrition, the hormonal s...

Asexual organisms that are descended from ancient asexual lineages defy current thinking on the evolution of sexual reproduction; theoreticians have been anxious to explain away their existence. However, a number of groups of organisms, from ferns to rotifers, have been suggested to be anciently asexual, and favourable evidence is being accumulated. Furthermore, new techniques for assessing cla...

conditions throughout the test. The hens were provided nutrients to meet the needs of all the hens based upon compilation of the breeder recommendations. The eggs from these strains were collected every 28 days from the previous 24 hrs production. Once collected the quality and compositional properties of the eggs such as pH, solids, whipping height, Haugh units and angel food cakes were evalua...
