Student Works (2010-2019)

The phytochemical and bioactivity studies on Mitrella kentii species from Annonaceae family have been performed. The extraction of phytochemicals from dried and ground plants were performed using conventional method extractions; Soxhlet extractor and Cold-extraction. The isolation of pure compounds from crude extracts were carried out by using various chromatographic methods such as column chromatography (CC), thin layer chromatography (TLC) and preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC). The structural elucidations of the isolated compounds were established based on the spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, IR, MS, 1D-NMR (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), 2D-NMR (COSY, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC) and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. …

Overexpression Of Wild-Type Anxa7 Tumor Suppressor Gene Alters Cancer-Related Micrornas In Human Prostate Cancer Cells / Yap Lim Hui, Lim Hui Yap

Student Works (2010-2019)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous 18-25nt RNAs that regulate genes at the protein translation level. They can act as tumor suppressors or oncogene and are often dysregulated in various cancers. ANXA7 is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes for a Ca2+-dependent membrane-binding protein and its expression was found to be reduced or lost in advanced androgen-independent prostate cancers. This research aims to identify miRNAs that are regulated by the ANXA7 tumor suppressor gene and the putative pathways involved in prostate cancer. The overexpression of wild-type ANXA7 was achieved by using a mammalian expression vector harboring the gene. From our miRNA microarray …

Chemical evaluations and characterization had often served as the commonly adopted options for assessing the potential impact of pollutants, which at the same time provide insight into the possible remediation technologies. However, heterogeneous substances may not be best studied in aforementioned forms because of the varied characteristics and concentrations of the discrete components. Leachate which is the liquid by-product of waste decomposition in landfills or dump sites is one such heterogeneous fluid that can easily pollute the environment (terrestrial and aquatic). With increase in waste generation in Malaysia, leachate production becomes inevitable especially as landfilling is the ultimate predominant waste …

Morphological And Molecular Characterisation Of Monogeneans / Tan Wooi Boon, Wooi Boon Tan Jan 2013

Morphological And Molecular Characterisation Of Monogeneans / Tan Wooi Boon, Wooi Boon Tan

Student Works (2010-2019)

Morphologies and morphometries as diagnostic characters are shown statistically to be able to differentiate between species and intraspecific variants. Intraspecific variants or morphovariants exist in nature but the variations they possessed are not enough to consider them as species (differentiation index values for morphovariants is 50% less than the values for species). These variations are due to genetic difference resulting from cross-fertilisations between different individuals of the same species. Such variations are necessary tools for future species diversification. The 28S rDNA are able to group members of the major dactylogyridean families together showing the monophyly of these families within the …

Development Of Microsatellite Markers For Differentiation Of Gracilaria Species / Song Sze Looi, Sze Looi Song Jan 2013

Development Of Microsatellite Markers For Differentiation Of Gracilaria Species / Song Sze Looi, Sze Looi Song

Student Works (2010-2019)

Gracilaria is a red seaweed that has been cultivated worldwide and is commercially used for food, fertilizers, animal fodder and hydrocolloids. However, the high morphological plasticity and the lack of distinctive reproductive structures often lead to the misidentification in the traditional identification of Gracilaria species. Molecular markers are important especially in the correct identification of Gracilaria species with high economic value. Various types of molecular markers, for example random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) have been used in the study of seaweeds but there are always limitations arising from each …

Harun Yahya Dan Kritikannya Terhadap Teori Evolusi Darwinisme / Abdul Halim Bin Ibrahim, Abdul Halim Ibrahim

Student Works (2010-2019)

Harun Yahya merupakan tokoh Muslim yang terkehadapan dalam kalangan umat Islam mutakhir ini dalam mengkritik teori evolusi Darwinisme; teori yang dicetuskan oleh Charles Darwin pada tahun 1859. Antara sebab Harun Yahya—atau nama sebenarnya Adnan Oktar—mengkritik teori tersebut ialah prinsipnya yang berasaskan faham Materialisme dan mekanismenya menggunakan pilihan alamiah (natural selection), dan mutasi rawak yang beroperasi secara semula jadi dan kebetulan. Secara tidak langsung, teori ini menolak Allah sebagai Pencipta, Penguasa dan Pentadbir alam ini. Harun Yahya mengkritik teori tersebut dari perspektif sains, agama dan falsafah; berbeza dengan sarjana-sarjana Islam lain yang kebanyakannya mengkritik dalam ruang lingkup agama dan falsafah sahaja. …

Basal stem rot disease (BSR) is a common disease that affects the Malaysian oil palm. The disease devastates thousands of hectares of oil palm plantings in Southeast Asia every year. It is caused by the fungus Ganoderma boninense, which infects the oil palm trees, causing loss of yield and finally killing the trees. In the present study, gene expression and proteomic investigations were carried out on the root tissues of the oil palm infected with G. boninense. While the gene expression data obtained from this study may be used in future work on the development of resistant or tolerant oil …

Probabilistic Properties And Statistical Inference For A Family Of Generalised And Related Distributions / Liew Kian Wah, Kian Wah Liew

Student Works (2010-2019)

Three generalised distributions are studied in this thesis from different aspects. The Hurwitz-Lerch zeta distribution (HLZD) that generalises the logarithmic distribution and a class of distributions that follows the power law is considered. To investigate the effects of parameters on the stochastic properties of the HLZD, stochastic orders between members in this large family are established. A relationship between the tail behaviours of the HLZD and that of a class of generalised logarithmic distribution is highlighted. The HLZD has shown good flexibilities in empirical modelling. A robust probability generating function based estimation method using Hellinger-type divergence is implemented in data-fitting …

Glycolipids are one of the essential components of the cell membranes to carry out selected biological functions. Even though the study to resolve the ambiguity of biological membrane processes is continuously pursuit, it is now generally recognized that the lipids form lyotropic mesophases in the membranes. These phases are important biologically and technologically, thus our interest to characterize them. Herein, we investigate the microenvironment of various lipidic phases formed by mono- and dialkylated synthetic glycolipids using fluorescence technique. Both single and branched-chain synthetic glycolipids were observed to exhibit normal and inverse mesophases respectively. The polarity of different regions of the …
