This paper is aiming to investigate the possibilities of monetary convergence in selected Asian countries. The paper evaluates the level of real (represented by GDP) and monetary (represented by CPI and interest rate) converges for the combination for the ASEAN 5+3 countries namely Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines as well as Japan, Korea and China. This paper applied various advance time series econometric techniques such as Unit root tests, Johansen Juselius cointegration test to be followed by Vector Error Correction model (VECM) to capture the long run and short run relationship among the variables. Next we used the VECM temporal causality test in order to capture the temporary deviation and generalized variance decomposition is used to determine the leading variables within the system. The outcome suggests a mixed evidence of cointegration between the GDP, CPI and interest rate for the ASEAN 5+3 economies. The integration process may take longer than expected due to the lack of political commitment, economic stability and unpredictable natural disasters. In order to form the economic cointegration, ASEAN 5+3 has to revamp its current financial systems as well as to formulate reasonable and workable economic integration guidelines by setting a clear, consistent and simplified trade procedure and regulation.

Several strains of actinomycetes have been found to protect plant from plant pathogens because the capacity to produce a wide variety of antibiotics, extracellular enzymes and also show their antagonistic effects towards plant pathogen. Actinomycetes play an important role in degradation of chitin which is a component of cell wall of fungi. Application of selected Actinomycetes as biocontrol can decrease the environmental pollution and an alternative to fungicides. Brown root disease caused by Phellinus noxius was observed in teak plantations of Sabak Bernam in Selangor, Kuala Kangsar in Perak, Sik in Kedah and Lendu in Malacca. It will affect the plantations industry if no measures are taken to control or manage it. This pathogen grew faster on the Potato Dextrose Agar and also on selective media such as Malt Yeast Extract Agar. Analysis of the 16S rDNA begins by extracting the Actinomycetes DNA and amplifying the gene coding for 16S rDNA using the polymerase chain reaction. The purified DNA fragments are directly sequenced and identification of the actinomycetes was done using phylogenetic analysis procedures. However, analysis of 16S rDNA generally allows us to identify the organisms up to the genus level only. Three selected actinomycetes isolated from the soil were found to control this plant pathogen. These actinomycetes controlled the plant pathogen by hyperparasiting it and colonizing its hyphae. The chitinase production of actinomycetes was determined by inoculating culture strains on chitin-yeast-extract agar and its chitinolytic activity was determined by formation of clear zones around the actinomycetes colonies.

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of aerobic dance on the cardiovascular fitness and body composition of sedentary women throughout 6 weeks of a training program. 31 subjects were selected in this study and divided into two groups; the experimental group consisted of 15 female subjects and the control group consisted of 16 subjects. The experimental program of the aerobic dance lasted for a period of six weeks and it include sixty-minute training sessions two times a week. The aerobic dance of each workout lasted for 40 minutes, and it involved high, low and moderate impact segments. The cardiovascular fitness was evaluated according to the following parameters: maximal oxygen uptake (ml/kg/min). Body composition was evaluated by means of the following measurements: body height (cm), body weight (cm), body mass index, waist to hip ratio and the percentage of body fat. The demographic factors of the experimental group are (mean (SD), age (30.33±7.34,) weight (58.29±7.34) height (1.55±0.06) and the mean (SD) for the controlled groups are as follow: age (27.56±3.97) weight (57.48±11.51) and height (1.56±0.05). The finding of this study showed that six weeks of aerobic dance had significant effects on the cardiovascular fitness and body composition of the subject in the experimental group. This reaffirms that those who participated in the aerobic dance training program (the experimental group) had improved their VO2max level, reduced their BMI and reduced WHR reading and reduced their percentage of body fat compared to the subject in the control group who did not participate in the aerobic dance training program. Hence, this study confirms that there are significant effects of aerobic dance on the cardiovascular fitness and body composition of sedentary women at the Clinical Training Centre, Sungai Buloh, Selangor.

The photoluminescence, morphology and structural properties of nanostructured ZnO synthesized from different molar ratio of precursor and stabilizer by a solution-immersion method were investigated. ZnO was successfully grown on gold-seeded Si substrate using a mixture of an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) with a non-toxic, odourless urea (CH4N2O) as a stabilizer. Solution-immersed method was adopted with the intention to develop a large area deposition at low-temperature benign method of preparation. A unique development of size and growth orientation is seemingly affected by the change in molarities of urea. Photoluminescence, structural properties and surface morphology are found to be significantly affected by varying the Zn2+:urea ratio. The chemical equations governed by urea are suggested.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the criterion validity of selected field-based test measuring aerobic capacity among rugby players. Aerobic capacity is an important fitness component needed by rugby players to sustain in a long duration match. Selected aerobic capacity field-based tests are Yo-yo Intermittent Endurance Test (YYIET) and 20m Multiple Shuttle Run Test. Laboratory test, Bruce Protocol running Test was used as a criterion test. Fifteen (n=15) male rugby players with height, weight and body fat percentage (BF) (mean±SD) 1.71±5.6cm, 79.5 ±10.9 kg and 23.8±10.1% respectively were selected to participate in this study. This study found that there is a significance difference for both tests (MST, p=.001, p<.05; YYIET, p=.002, p<.05) in estimating the maximum oxygen consumption. Both test showed a strong relationship with criterion test (MST, r=.72, p=.004, p<.05; YYIET, r=.81, p=.001, p<.05). Result shows that there is significant difference for both tests in estimating the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and both tests have a high correlation compared to criterion test. Concisely, both tests are valid methods to measure the aerobic capacity among rugby players.
摘要本研究旨在探讨橄榄球运动员有氧能力测试的效度。有氧能力是橄榄球运动员在长时间比赛中维持所需的重要健身组成部分。选择有氧能力的实地测试是溜溜球间歇耐力测试(YYIET)和20米多次穿梭跑测试。实验室试验采用布鲁斯方案运行试验作为标准试验。选取身高、体重、体脂率(BF)(平均±SD)分别为1.71±5.6cm、79.5±10.9 kg、23.8±10.1%的男子橄榄球运动员15名(n=15)。本研究发现两项检验存在显著性差异(MST, p=。001年,p < . 05;YYIET, p =。002, p< 0.05)估计最大耗氧量。两项检验均与标准检验(MST, r=)密切相关。72, p =。004年,p < . 05;YYIET, r =。81, p =。001年,p < . 05)。结果表明，两种方法在估计最大耗氧量(VO2max)方面存在显著差异，与标准试验相比具有较高的相关性。简而言之，这两项测试都是衡量橄榄球运动员有氧能力的有效方法。

The research project focused on new techniques in rainfall forecasting and flood monitoring, using multi-sensor data rainfall inputs from the Doppler weather radar, geostationary meteorological satellite and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Improved Z-R equations for radar rainfall have been derived for category monsoon and category rain-rate with bias ranging from 1.1 to 1.3. In addition, the rainfall forecasts produced from two NWP models namely the Fifth Generation Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale (MM5) and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) are statistically verified with the observed rain for case studies of Kelantan River basin and Klang River basin. The research also investigated the correlation between the images of visible and infrared geostationary meteorological satellite (metsat) to rainfall depth and developed a satellite-based rainfall estimation. Finally, a hydrodynamic model of case study river basin had been developed for an integrated hydro-meteorological flood monitoring system, using one of the multi sensor data rainfall inputs.

The vapor-liquid phase behavior of CO2 in the mixture of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([B3MPYR][BF4]) at equilibrium have been investigated. The phase equilibrium behavior of the CO2 was determined by measuring the CO2 loading at temperatures of 303.15 K and 313.15 K and pressures up to 5000 kPa using a high pressure jacketed reactor. The experimental results show that the solubility of CO2 increases as the pressure increase. However increasing temperature decrease the CO2 solubility. Moreover it was observed that the solubility decrease due to the addition of [B3MPYR][BF4] to the aqueous AMP.

The loss of knowledge from teachers who retire and leave the field is a waste the education sector should look to curb. The use and application of Information Communication Technology is the bridge that could help propagate the growth of an organization as well as shrink the window of deprivation experienced by primary school teachers today. Knowledge sharing is regarded as a significant portion of knowledge management. The importance of knowledge sharing is recognized as a profitable entity to any organization. For teachers in the primary sector, there is a need for them to feel connected yet there are hindrances that are holding them back. A knowledge sharing framework that caters to the needs of this community of practice as well as a teacher friendly portal is essential as a tool to help primary school teachers embrace technology and expand their horizon by connecting and sharing with one another. This paper proposes a knowledge sharing framework that would be the building block of designing a web based portal for teachers in order to cultivate a knowledge sharing environment.

In the real sea condition, only multi-directional waves or short crested waves are found. Short crested wave isdefined as thelinear summation of various long crested waves propagated tovarious angles, where the magnitude and direction generated are randomly varied. In this study, the dynamic responses of classic spar platform subjected to long crested and short crested waves are investigated numerically and compared. Two numerical simulations are developed by incorporating Diffraction theory to obtain the wave forces for long crested waves and short crested waves. The classic spar platform is assumed to be rigid with three degrees of freedom surge, heave and pitch, restrained by four mooring lines. For every time step, the mass, damping and stiffness matrices are evaluated. The equations of motion are formulated for the platform dynamic equilibrium and are solved by using Newmark Beta method in time domain. The results in terms of Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) for surge, heave and pitch motionsare obtained and compared.

Malaysia's proactive position in promoting biotechnology has also spurred scientists in local universities and research institutions to adopt genetic engineering techniques for the betterment of their research. However, Malaysian scientists must increasingly be aware that genetic engineering can either be used for benevolent or malevolent purposes triggering the dual use dilemma. This is because certain materials, information and technology can not only be utilized for military and civilian purposes but also for criminal and terrorist activities. Therefore, this research has the purpose of examining the actions to be taken by Malaysia to censor the forms, methods, results and acquisition of knowledge of genetic engineering from being misused. Underlying Malaysia's actions is the bioethical principle, that is, the duty to prevent harm which is relevant to this research. It is proposed that the actions Malaysia should take are to be embedded within provisions of the Biosafety Act 2007 and its regulation. The method relied for this research is one that is qualitative in analyzing primarily the Biosafety Act 2007, international organization documents from websites, a case law and secondary resources. The results from this research indicate that the Biosafety Act 2007 can be utilized in order to achieve the said purpose of this research through existing provisions while in certain instances, amendments to some provisions which are unclear or inadequate together with the Biosafety (Approval and Notification) 2010 Regulations needs to be done.
