Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Biological Processes by Using Membrane Computing FormalismRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Membrane computing has structural resemblance with the cell structure. This characteristic provides the versatility in the modeling of biological processes. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the membrane computing formalism in modeling biological processes by analyzing two examples: Photosynthesis in chloroplast and Sodium-Potassium exchange pump. Results: The modeling of these two examples showed membrane computing formalism has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of N and K Fertilizers on Nutrient Leaching and Groundwater Quality under Mature Oil Palm in Sabah during the Monsoon PeriodPetronella G. Ah Tung, Mohd Kamil Yusoff, Nik Muhamad Majid et al.Problem statement: The oil palms are mainly grown in the humid tropics with high rainfall. Soluble Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K) fertilizers are commonly required by the oil palm plantations to maximize palm productivity due to the highly weathered soils with low fertility. Thus, leaching losses of N and K nutrients may be unavoidable and these nutrients may move further … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 10,143 accessesView PDFCite
