It is critical to combat pathogenic illnesses, especially bacterial ones. Furunculosis in salmon is mostly brought on by Aeromonas salmonicida in rainbow and brown trout. To control this pathogen, vaccines have been identified as a significant tool. In the present study, we have formulated an inactivated vaccine with oil as an adjuvant and estimated its efficacy. The lethal dose of ArS-Pak-19, was calculated and injected intraperitoneally to the fishes. To analyze the infection, samples of kidney, liver, spleen, and blood were collected at specific times. To estimate the immunogenicity of the vaccine, an experiment was designed. One hundred sixty fishes were distributed into 8 tanks including, six experimental groups and two control groups with its replicates, vaccines injected intraperitoneally 1.6 × 107, 1.6 × 108, and 1.6 × 109 and blood samples were taken fortnightly for 56 days to calculate the antibodies titers. After immunization these groups were challenged with Aeromonas salmonicida (ArS-Pak-19) intraperitoneally. At 7th day of post infection, it appeared in the liver, spleen, and kidney. The relative percentage of survival was estimated with control groups at 30 days after challenge. The relative percentage of survival was 80%. The IgM titers were higher at 24 days of post immunization. We also analyzed that antibodies non-specifically bound with the A-layer of Aeromonas salmonicida. The findings of this study offer evidence that vaccinations boost fishes immunity and serve as a roadmap to further vaccination initiatives.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aimed to identify the biological activities and phenolic compounds content of different Morinda citrifoliaL. root extracts. The relationship between biological activities and phenolic content was also discussed. All extracts were screened for antioxidant activity using anti-oxidant assays (FRAP, DPPH, TAOC, ABTS, and BCB) and quantitative phytochemical analyses (TPC). Antimicrobial activity against four bacterial and two fungal strains as well as cytotoxic activities on stomach cancer (SNU-1), colon cancer (LS-174T and HT29), leukemia (K562), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-361) cell lines were also performed. With a value of 122.789 g of gallic acid equivalent/mg extract, the dichloromethane extract had the highest total phenolic content (TPC). The extract also showed high antioxidant activities in all the antioxidant assays and antimicrobial activity. The FRAP (r2 = 0.962) as well as antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (r2 = 0.708), Bacillus subtilis (r2 = 0.890) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (r2 = 0.870) were strongly correlated with the total phenolic content.

The analysis focused on the M and X-class SFs that occurred during the 24th solar cycle as these two classes of SFs are known to produce significant effects on Earth’s environment, particularly during the daytime period. The data utilized to detect the SF events in this study were ground-based magnetometer data from the equatorial regions. Effects of the selected SF events on the E layer were investigated based on the EUEL index constructed using the geomagnetic data. Meanwhile, the changes in the strength of radio VLF signals in the D ionospheric layer during the selected SF events were monitored using Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance (SID) data. Two case studies were performed which consisted of four SF events from a total of 23 events that were detected by geomagnetic data during the period of study. Further analysis on the selected SF events showed the common effects of SFs on the D layer, which is the increment on the VLF signal measured from the SID stations although a different response was detected in the EUEL index variations. This indicates that the VLF signal always shows an increment even though a decrement in the ionization of the E layer occurs as a result of the SF events. The difference in responses could be attributed to the distinct changes in electron density of both layers during the SF occurrence. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanism responsible for this unique response, utilizing appropriate parameters such as total electron content, as well as the electron density data to thoroughly analyze the ionospheric response during SF events.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the impacts of attitude, brand loyalty, brand image, and brand awareness on interactive advertising and engagement with consumers via social media in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to promote SME digital lifestyle products. Accordingly, a quantitative survey was administered to evaluate 308 responses from customers of companies vending digital lifestyle products before conducting partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the collected data. The results demonstrated significant positive relationships between both brand loyalty and brand awareness and consumer purchase intention, respectively, whereas the relationships between attitude and brand image and consumer purchase intention were separately discovered to be insignificant.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike univariate data, outlier detection for multivariate data is insufficient with a visual inspection. In this study, we developed a new single linkage robust clustering outlier detection procedure for multivariate data. A robust estimator, Test on Covariance (TOC) is used to robustified the similarity distance measure, producing robust single linkage clustering. The performance of the new single linkage robust clustering outlier detection procedure is investigated via a simulation study using three outlier scenarios and historical multivariate datasets as illustrative examples. Three performance measures are used, which are pout, pmask, and pswamp. The performance of the new single linkage robust clustering procedure also compared with single linkage clustering using Euclidean and Mahalanobis distances as similarity distance measures as well as TOC. It is found that the new single linkage robust clustering procedure performs well in Outlier Scenario 3 when the mean and covariance matrix are shifted. The new procedure also performs well by successfully detecting all outliers, does not have masking effects in two out of five datasets and does not have swamping effect in all datasets. In conclusion, the new single linkage robust clustering outlier detection procedure is a practical and promising approach and good for simultaneously identifying multiple outliers in multivariate data.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, in this study, a composite of TiO2 NT and cobalt sulfide (CoxSy) was successfully synthesized, and its potential as a photoelectrode for water molecules splitting was evaluated. The TiO2 NT was synthesized using electrochemical anodization of Ti foil, followed by annealing at 500 °C. Subsequently, CoxSy was added to the TiO2 NT using hydrothermal method, and the composite was further annealed at 400 °C. Characterization technique, such as FESEM and XRD were employed to identify the morphological and phase structures, while UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopy was used for optical analysis. The efficiency of CoxSy deposited on to TiO2 NT were evaluated by measuring the photocurrent generation. Remarkably, the sample of 60_CoxSy/TiO2 NT exhibited photocurrent as high as 0.375 mA/cm2 which is over sixfold higher than the bare TiO2 NT.

Since 1969 when the disease was discovered, a seasonal outbreak is often reported in Nigeria. Many researchers have reported inconsistent or varying numbers of suspected, confirmed and death cases since 2012 to date. To enhance this reportage, and due to the high mortality rate associated with LF, it is pertinent to design a suitable and robust model that could predict or estimate the number of LF cases based on the onset data. To achieve these, we proposed a recursive prediction (RP) model that could do predictions with the onset data. The Pearson correlation coefficient (R) and R2 are applied to determine the performance analysis of the model. The RP model predicted 96.7% confirmed cases and 89.6% death cases for the first three months of 2022 based on the onset data. The model was also applied to predict COVID-19 death cases during the six weeks of the outbreak in India. The result showed a comparable prediction with the regression output for the COVID-19 death cases. This study demonstrated that the proposed model could be applied to perform prediction for any disease of unknown etiology during the onset of the disease outbreak without any treatment similar to the COVID-19 outbreak. The performance analysis of the RP showed that the model is useful to predict the increasing trend of an outbreak of a disease with unknown etiology without prior treatment experience and vaccines.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136036189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the impacts of the electrodeposition method (direct electrodeposition vs. pulse electrodeposition), voltages (‑0.4 V and ‑0.8 V), electrodeposition time (60s to 900s) and pulse cycles (50 cycles to 300 cycles), and FTO etching (fixed to 20s etching) towards the morphology and adhesion of Cu deposited. The grain size and thickness of Cu deposited vary with deposition time and pulse cycles. The voltage of -0.4 V successfully deposits shiny, metallic brown Cu onto FTO glass. Meanwhile, the voltage of -0.8 V gives powdery brown Cu on the surface. In addition, compared to direct electrodeposition (DD), pulse electrodeposition (PD) provides a more compact and homogeneous coverage of Cu onto FTO glass. The tape-test results also indicate that FTO etching by electrolysis reduction can improve the adhesion strength between deposited thin Cu film and the FTO glass.
