Bacterial community shift as potential bioindicator to indicate the river water contamination due to palm oil mill effluent final discharge

A thorough outlook on the effect of palm oil mill effluent (POME) final discharge towards the composition and functional status of bacterial community in the receiving river is provided in this study by using high-throughput MiSeq and flow cytometry, respectively. The shift of bacterial community dynamics could be used to determine the potential bacterial indicators to indicate contamination caused by POME. This study showed that the POME final discharge did not only alter the natural physicochemical properties of the river water but also caused the reduction of bacterial diversity in the receiving river. The Chromatiaceae and Alcaligenaceae which were not detected in the upstream but were detected in the downstream part of the river are proposed as the indicator bacteria to indicate the river water contamination caused by POME final discharge. The emergence of the potential indicator bacteria in the downstream part of the river was shown to be carried over by the effluent. Moreover, the functional status of the bacterial community at single-cell level is determined with regards to their abundance, viability and nucleic acid content to monitor the effect of POME final discharge in the affected river. The shift of low nucleic acid (LNA) to high nucleic acid (HNA) bacterial cells in the affected river suggests the transformation of dormant to active cells due to POME final discharge which may serves as potential bioindicator in the screening of anthropogenic effect due to POME final discharge in the river water with originally high LNA proportions. Monitoring the effluent discharge at low trophic level using MiSeq and flow cytometry is considered as an accurate pollution monitoring approach which can be used to complement the conventional POME pollution assessment method

Factors Affecting Intention To Leave

This study examines the correlations between employees’ perception of their superiors’ leadership styles (i.e task-and people-orientations) together with a few demographic factors and their intentions to leave the organizations. The research findings have shown that only the employees’ perception of the superiors’ leadership style of people-orientation is a major factor related to the intention to leave. This relationship is statistically significant at the level of 5%. In this context, leaders who have high people-orientation leadership style will have subordinates who have low intentions to leave. Beside that, age, organizational tenure, and job status are a few demographic factors which are also significantly related to employees’ intentions to leave the organization

Preliminary Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UA V) for Petroleum Pipe Monitoring System

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UA V has been designed by numerous inventors due to its importance in multiple industries. One major usage of UA V nowadays is for surveillance. This report basically discusses the progress done on the chosen topic, which is Preliminary Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UA V) for Petroleum Pipe Monitoring sYSTEM. The basic idea of this project is the design work. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV; also known as a remotely piloted vehicle or RPV, or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)) is an aircraft that flies without a human crew on board the aircraft. The purpose of this project is to learn all the aspects of designing the preliminary design of UA V specifically for the use in monitoring the petroleum pipe system, onshore and offshore. So, the methodology for this project is more on designing the UA V by determining and investigating its specification that fulfill the need for that particular purpose. The scope of work for semester one final year project is to research more about UAV preliminary design that suitable for monitoring petroleum pipe system; both offshore and offshore. Other than that is investigating the suitable criteria and specifications as the factor that need to be considered for designing and drawing the final configuration. The second part of the project will covers the analysis of both aerodynamics and performance for the designed UAV. It also involved the final drawing ofthe UA V using AutoCAD 2008 according to its specifications. The objective of studies had been achieved upon the completion of the project

Environmental health case studies at Kampung Talang Hulu, Kuala Kangsar, Perak / Nur Amirah Sharuddin

A study titled Environmental Health Case Studies at Kampung Talang Hulu, Kuala Kangsar, Perak was conducted to ascertain the health status of the environment and public health which are available in the study area. For this purpose, we have chosen the rural areas, namely Kampung Talang Hulu. The village is divided into 5 chains, namely Kampung Talang Hulu, Kampung Talang Tengah, Kampung Talang Masjid, Kampung Talang Changkat and Batu 331/2 Jalan Taiping. Various methods have been used to complete the survey communities in the study area. This study was conducted through observation, interviews and field studies. Based on the issues identified, we have collected all the information related to the cooperation of the District Health Office of Kuala Kangsar, members of the JKKK and the villagers. There are problems to be focused which are pest and vector control due to dengue cases is higher within 4 years, improper solid waste management because there is no proper solid waste management system in place, drainage system due some of the respondent house did not have proper drainage system and a domestic water supply problem. The problem of water supply which are not managed properly could lead to the outbreak of infectious diseases like water-borne diseases among the population in turn can harm the health of the population. Then, the users need to clean regularly and cover the container used to store water away from animal waste and prevent from breeding of Aedes mosquitoes. They also need to use different water source if the water is contaminated. Therefore, this issue is emphasized so that improvements can be made to the water supply problem

Domestic water quality monitoring at Seberang Perai Tengah, Pulau Pinang / Siti Rohany Sharuddin

As Penang marches towards the 21st Century, our water demand will continue to increase, even as water supply issues become increasingly complex. As such, we need to manage water supply more effectively and innovatively. It also to determine the value of pH, suspended solid (SS), turbidity, residual chlorine and conductivity of the domestic water supplied in Seberang Perai Tengah according the sampling point are Kampung Paya, Kubang Semang, Kubang Ulu, Permatang Pasir and Permatang. The results obtained are expected to fulfill the Malaysian Standard and WHO. From the sampling result raw water and treated water, the results observed the change of the concentration of the sample before and after treatment for pH, turbidity and residual chlorine. The comparison were made between the result obtain with the standard quality of water. It is obtained that the result fulfills the Effluent Discharge Standards to Malaysian Inland Waters, Standard A.

Nowadays, streaming video is one of the internet technology that changing at a rapid pace, and faster technology changes. Most people like to steaming video because it provides flexibility and users can view what they want, when they want. The objective of this project is to analysis network traffic when making streaming video server over local area network (LAN). Here, we have to configure streaming server before it can stream video by. The analysis is made when client stream the video from a server. The client can see what the server play. This is called video live streaming. Software that will be used is VLC Media Player. The analysis is made when the client streaming video from a server. For the result and finding, we generate report in video quality and video analysis in real time based to UDP protocol and MPEG-1 compression. For this project, the analysis process is done by seeing parameter Audio Lost Buffer, Lost Video Frame and Congestion that appears on the client side. All of these will be obtained by monitoring streaming statistics of current media within the features of VLC itself. Video streaming will be re-encoded in a variety of bit rate, is 1024 Kbps, 512 Kbps and 384 Kbps. This bit rate will be analysis with different HD video that is 1080p and 720p and each video had 4 minutes duration and had 800 Kbps bit rate. After done all the analysis we can summarize that the differences of each audio lost, video lost and Congestion for 1080p and 720p. The management solutions proposed in this report will empowers administrator to effectively manage the traffic and data flow through the use of network management tools, which will increase users productivity, as well as to reduce the management cost by minimize unnecessary network upgrading
