The mean concentrations of ammonia, nitrate, total dissolved N and total particulate N were 43 µg/L N, 195 µg/L N, 485 µg/L N, 431 µg/L N, respectively. In contrast to N, lower mean concentrations of P were recorded with values of 2.30 µg/L P (dissolved inorganic P), 4.84 µg/L P (total dissolved P) and 8.35 µg/L P (total particulate P). In general, higher concentrations of nutrients were recorded in the middle and lower reaches of the river basin due to human activities. Elevated levels of both forms of nutrients were present during the wet season due to terrestrial run-off to the water column.

  • Potential of Global Solar Radiation in Terengganu, Malaysia
    International Journal of Energy Engineering (IJEE) Jun. 2013, Vol. 3 Iss. 4, PP. 130-136 Potential of Global Solar Radiation in Terengganu, Malaysia Abdul Majeed Muzathik Department of Maritime Technology, University Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia Faculty of Engineering, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka [email protected] Abstract- Accurate information on the intensity of solar radiation at a given location is essential to the development of solar energy- based projects. This information is used in the design of a project, in cost analysis, and in calculations on the efficiency of a project. As the solar radiation data are not available for most areas in Malaysia, this study is crucial in establishing the solar data for Terengganu, Malaysia. The geographical co-ordinates of the site are 50 10’ N latitude 1030 06’ E longitude and 5.2 m altitude. The data used in the present study were collected from the Renewable Energy Station, University Malaysia Terengganu from 2004 to 2010. In addition to these data, secondary data were obtained from Malaysian Meteorological Department from 2004 to 2009 at the Terengganu Airport station (5o 10.0’ N latitude 103o 6.0’ E longitude) which is nearly 2 km southeast to the study area. From the raw data, the mean, maximum and minimum hourly values were calculated. The highest 24 hours basis daily and monthly mean global solar radiation values were 314.9 W/m2 and 7556 Wh/m2/day, respectively. The highest hourly average solar radiation intensity was 1139 W/m2 during this study period. Yearly average daily solar energy was 18.93 MJ/m2/day.

  • 1 SDC 5: Systematic Review of Prospective, Hospital-Based
    SDC 5: Systematic review of prospective, hospital-based rotavirus studies in Malaysia We conducted a systematic search of prospective hospital-based rotavirus (RV) surveillance studies in Malaysia. A meta-analysis was conducted to obtain pooled RV-detection proportions for acute gastroenteritis (AG) hospitalizations. Methods A systematic search was conducted to select studies conducted in Malaysia that comply with WHO recommendations for hospital-based RV surveillance [6]. Criteria for eligibility were as follows: (i) prospective, hospital-based study (ii) at least one year duration, (iii) conducted in Malaysia, (iv) on children under the age of 5 years, (v) stool tested for RV with an enzyme immunoassay test. The literature was searched systematically to locate published articles in three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science). Search terms used were ‘rotavirus’ AND (‘gastroenteritis OR ‘diarrhoea’ OR ‘diarrhea’) AND ‘Malaysia’. The search was limited to English language publications. Citation search and consultation with experts were conducted to identify additional publications. After removing duplicates, titles and abstracts were screened to identify prospective, hospital- based RV studies. Subsequently, full text articles were read to identify studies meeting the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. A DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model [7] was used to pool outcomes from each individual study site and calculate the mean and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for RV-detection proportion. 1 Results The systematic search of three databases provided a total of 94 citations; 39 from Pubmed, 38 from Scopus and 17 from Web of Science. No further articles were identified from citation search or consultation with experts.

  • Bauxite in the Kuantan Area, Peninsular Malaysia
    GEOSEA V Proceedings Vol. I, Geol. Soc. Malaysia. Bulletin 19, April 1986; pp. 315-325 Bauxite in the Kuantan area, Peninsular Malaysia S. SENATHI RAJAH Geological Survey of Malaysia, Ipoh Abstract: An account is given on the search for bauxite in the Kuantan area, Peninsular Malaysia. Results ofthe reconnaissance survey indicate significant reserves offerruginous bauxite in the area that may be ofcommercial interest. The bauxite belongs to the tropical lateritic type. It has formed in situ by decomposition of the underlying basalt ofprobable Tertiary age, and occurs as blanket deposits and lenses in the residual rock mantle. Furtherdetailed prospecting is warranted to confirm whether the bauxite deposit is viable for exploitation. INTRODUCTION General.-The existence ofbauxite in the Kuantan area, Peninsular Malaysia was first recognized by the Geological Survey in 1937 (Fitch, 1952). Subsequently, preliminary investigations by Fitch (I952) have shown that its occurrence is confined to areas underlain by the Kuantan basalt. This paper is based on the results of the bauxite investigation undertaken by the Geological Survey in 1979 (Rajah 1980) by reconnaissance auger prospecting, over the general area following the recommendation of Robertson Research International Ltd. (1976). Location and Access.-The area of interest lies in the neighbourhood of Kuantan in the states of Pahang and Terengganu (Fig. 1). It is easily accessible via the highway to Kuala Terengganu, the new Kuantan bypass, and roads to Sungai Lembing, Bukit Goh Estate and Jabor Valley Estate. Topography and Vegetation.-The area is flat to undulating. Hills with flat tops and low ridges between 100 and 200 ft (30-60 m) in altitude constitute the main topography.

This paper characterise beach morphodynamic classification along the Terengganu coast during seasonal monsoons (the onset of southwest monsoon in June 2009 as calm conditions and northeast monsoon in December 2009 as storm conditions). Two main morphodynamic characteristics are used to define reflective, intermediate and dissipative beaches such as the surf similarity index (ξb) and the dimensionless fall velocity (Ω). In order to estimate morphological changes, repetitive beach profiles were acquired and averaged. The morphodynamic characteristics are also supported with wave data collected from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) database and modeled in Spectral Wave Flexible Mesh of Mike-21 module, in order to investigate the wave propagation along the Terengganu coast.

  • Assessment of Wetlands in Kuala Terengganu District Using Landsattm
    Journal of Geography and Geology November, 2009 Assessment of Wetlands in Kuala Terengganu District Using LandsatTM Kasawani Ibrahim Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu UMT 21030 KualaTerengganu, Terengganu, MALAYSIA Tel:60-1-3938-8840 E-mail: [email protected] Kamaruzaman Jusoff (Corresponding author) Department of Forest Production, Faculty of Forestry Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400, UPM, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Tel: 60-3-8946-7176 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Wetland cover mapping is very important in identifying its areal extent and the rate of change over time. This study aims to map the areal extent and its rate of change in Kuala Terengganu district which covers approximately 4,690.65 hectares. Three LandsatTM images, which dated on 15th October 1998, 14th July 2002 and 15th August 2005 were used in digital image processing by using a RGB band combination of 4, 5, and 2. The overall classification accuracies for the 1998, 2002 and 2005 images were 74.55, 82.42 and 90.91 percent, respectively. The United State Geology Survey (USGS) Classification Scheme was used to determine the wetland and the images were independently classified and total areas of wetland cover were compared between different dates of imageries. Surprisingly, there was an unexpected significant increase (from 102.35 to 381.35 ha) in the areal extent of wetlands in a seven year period of 1998 to 2005 with a rate of change of 0.84% increase per year. This study implies that the integration of remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) may provide a useful tool for temporal studies in wetland cover and its rate of change in Kuala Trengganu district.
