Nipah Encephalitis - Mahathir Science Award 2006 Faculty Of Medicine, University Malaya
The Mahathir Science Award was instituted by the Academy of Science Malaysia in recognition of scientists or institutions who have contributed to cutting-edge tropical research that have had an impact on society. The Award is Malaysia¿s most prestigious science award. The recipients extend beyond the boundaries of Malaysia. In fact the first award in 2005 was by Professor John Mackenzie from Queensland, Australia for his contributions in solving the problems related to Japanese encephalitis virus, and the 2007 award was by Professor J Malik Peiris, of University of Hong Kong, for the discovery of the SARS virus.

The Psychology of Chinese Behavior Seen In Spoken Discourses
This research highlights the fact that as the younger generation of Chinese become more and more exposed to modern advancements like western cultures through movies, education, music, fashion and other popular trends, they have also evolved to become less like their parents who still preserve their traditional Chinese ways of being polite to their elders, caring for their parents and being less offensive when having conversations with their parents and more like their western counterparts who are more selfish, individualistic and direct in their ways.

Experimental thermal performance study of an inclined heat pipe heat exchanger operating in high humid tropical HVAC systems
In an earlier paper [Y.H. Yau, Application of a heat pipe heat exchanger to dehumidification enhancement in tropical HVAC systems e a baseline performance characteristics study, International Journal of Thermal Sciences 46 (2) (2007) 164e171], the author had established the baseline performance characteristics of the eight-row wickless heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHX) for a vertical configuration under a range of conditions appropriate for a tropical climate.
  
Instrumental Study of Malaysian English Vowels
This study examines the extent to which there are no significant differences in the pronunciation of pairs of vowels among Malaysian speakers. Subjects, comprising undergraduates at a local university, were recorded using the Kay Elemetrics Computerized Speech Lab Model 4500. Subsequently, PRAAT, a speech synthesis and analysis programme (Boersmal & Weenink, 2005), was used to transcribe the data and measure the first and second formants and the length of the selected vowels. The findings are discussed in relation to impressionistic descriptions of these vowels in MaIE as well as instrumental data from other varieties of English. The findings of this study contribute empirical evidence for the description of MalE vowels and also contribute data to the available body of research on the pronunciation of different varieties of English.
