    An infection by pathogenic fungi is one of the major problems in post-harvest stage of mangoes. Therefore, the extraction of essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia is being tested as a natural fungicide for controlling fungus infections of selected mangoes locally known as susu mango. The extraction was performed using Solvent-Free Microwave Assisted Extraction with a yield of 0.57% concentration. The inhibitory effect of this essential oil against isolated fungi from mango was investigated through in-vitro and in-vivo analyses. Distilled water was used as a negative control while chemical fungicide (Globus 5.5) was used as a positive control in the analyses. The mycelial growth inhibition of the extracted essential oil for poisoned food test and disc diffusion method showed 62.50 ± 0.49% and 59.70 ± 0.30%, respectively, for in-vivo experiment which used unwounded and artificially wounded mangoes. The result also demonstrated that the essential oil applied on the mangoes could decrease the disease incidence from 100% to 61.33% for up to 10 days incubation at room temperature compared to that of the control. Hence, the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia can act as a green fungicide and is also a promising alternative to the synthetic chemical fungicide for controlling post-harvest disease on mangoes.

    High incidences of early aseptic loosening cases have led to numerous analyses on fixation strength of femoral component (FC). This study consists of two objectives: to analyze the correlation between articulating contact area shape conformities and fixation strength, and (2) to analyze the relationship between slanting box patterns of the FC and fixation strength. Two design analyses were constructed: first, using three different types of contact congruence with radius ratios of 0.50, 0.89 and flat. Second, box patterns of the FC were anteriorly slanted at 2, 4 and 6°. The fixation strength of the FC is significantly improved (38.59%) by slanting the box pattern anteriorly as compared to the non-slanted FC design.

    Shortage of water has become a predominant problem all over the world as water plays an important role in agriculture, domestic and industry. In certain parts of the world, farmers face problems watering their crops especially during the dry season. Limited water resources with low efficiency greatly affect crop growth. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligent irrigation system using Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) and Fuzzy Interface System (FIS) for crops watering process. The RWH is a system that collects, centralises and stores rainwater, while the FIS uses temperature and soil moisture sensors to determine the time and amount needed for the watering process. Thus, the intelligent irrigation system will ensure the process of watering the crops to be efficient. The results of this study show that FIS can analyse temperature and soil moisture data, which improves the efficiency of crops watering process and the use of RWH will make it sustainable. The developed project is currently operating at the Institute of Sustainable Agro Technology, i.e. a university-owned agricultural research institute.

    The Soil and Vegetation Analysis Development (SPAD) value was correlated to the actual value of chlorophyll content in the Harumanis mango leaf using a developed regression model. Distribution of chlorophyll content in Harumanis mango leaves were mapped using Geospatial Analyst in the ArcGIS. Total chlorophyll content and SPAD value were well established with the polynomial regression model with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.925. The results show that the measured SPAD value in the morning were comparable to those value made in the evening and the Harumanis leaves located in the middle of the greenhouse have 25–31.3% lower chlorophyll content compared to other parts of the greenhouse.

    This study focuses on the encapsulation of silica and graphene nanoparticles and their potential applications. The encapsulation enhances the properties and effectiveness of these nanoparticles, with silica providing stability and graphene contributing to high surface area and electrical conductivity. Characterization of silica-graphene nanoparticles was conducted using various techniques including High Power Microscope (HPM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and 3D Nano Profiler. The antimicrobial activity of silica, graphene, and silica-graphene nanoparticles was evaluated using a disc diffusion assay against E. coli and B. subtilis at varying concentrations. Results showed significant antimicrobial activity, with the inhibition zone being directly proportional to the concentration. Silica-graphene nanoparticles demonstrated higher efficacy against E. coli compared to B. subtilis, attributed to differences in cell wall structure. Statistical analysis using ANOVA confirmed significant differences in antimicrobial activity among the tested components.
