Abstract:
... The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides from 80 samples of Malaysia’s building materials sourced from either manufacturers or local suppliers were studied using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The radiological hazards associated with building materials under study were evaluated by calculating radium equivalent activity (Raₑq). The calculated values of Raₑq range from 29.7 ± 0. ...

Abstract:
... This study evaluated the skills of global climate models (GCMs) of the fifth and sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5 and CMIP6) in simulating observed rainfall climatology, seasonal variability, and probability distribution function (PDF) in Peninsular Malaysia. Monthly rainfall records of eighty stations for 1975 − 2005 were employed for this purpose. The Kling-Gupta efficiency was ...

Abstract:
... Over the past decade, there has been an increasing research on the use of machine learning tools for estimating reference crop evapotranspiration (ETₒ). However, due to the data-hungry nature of the machine learning models, all of these researches are not suitable for regions with limited data supply. This study aims to provide a breakthrough for the bottleneck through coupling of the inter-model ...

Abstract:
... The reality of socio-religious harmony in Sabah is undeniable. Some visible evidence, and its distinct social environment foster religious tolerance and encouraging people to accept others as they are. On what grounds does this harmony persist, given that situations in Malaysia show that interfaith disputes have never been silent? Examining this phenomenon considers the community, even attempting ...
