Journal Article
BATOOL, U., LAWTON, L.A., SHAPIRO, B.J. and TROMAS, N. 2025. An experimental test of cyanotoxins as a potential driver of microbial community structure. Chemosphere [online], 384, article number 144518. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2025.144518

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are common biological disturbances in freshwater ecosystems, impacting microbial community diversity and composition. While extensive research has focused on these blooms, the direct effects of cyanotox... Read More about An experimental test of cyanotoxins as a potential driver of microbial community structure..

Near miss plays an important role in providing insights and are also leading indicators of potential hazards within a system, one could argue that they are attributed to safety behaviours, human or organisational factors, and are underreported. The s... Read More about Near miss: behavior and effect..

Journal Article
AHMAD, M.N., ISHAK, M.R., MAIDIN, N.A. and SAHARUDIN, M.S. 2025. Water absorption analysis of oil palm fibre reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene composites by Fick's Law.

Over the past twenty years, researchers have become increasingly interested in natural fibres reinforced thermoplastics. The major cause of hydrophilic tendency is the presence of voids and non-crystalline part of these fibres which affects the fibre...
