Frequency analysis of annual runoff in peninsular Malaysia using a regional approach based on L-Moments
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)Estimation of runoff is very important for flood estimation. Thus, runoff is very important in designing and managing water resources projects involving natural hazards. Region refers to a set of sites of which is expected ... -
An analytical study of fluid tank system for reducing the rolling of a ship
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)There have long been attempts to reduce the rolling of ships, prompted by a desire to increase comfort of travel, improve weapon control measures, extend the operation of aircraft, and so on. In many passenger and naval ... -
CNTs/SnO2 and CNTs/MNo2 nanocomposites for the fabrication of the electrodes for supercapacitors
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)The development of next generation high-energy and high-power aqueous supercapacitors is vital in an era when power demand has peaked. In terms of engineering related issues at the micro level, the major area urgently ... -
Selecting a design of sustainable inland container ship for Bangladesh based on economical and environmental performances
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)A sustainable design of a container ship from alternative options has been selected for inland shipping in Bangladesh. In this selection process commercial attractiveness of these vessels were compared at first by using ... -
Numerical and experimental study on wave propagation in the open atmosphere
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)In the present research works, wave propagation in the open atmosphere has been investigated both numerically and experimentally. Two-dimensional (2D) numerical code has been developed to solve the Euler equations for the ... -
Modelling and control of airship for low altitude surveillances application
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-06)Aerial perspective provide great viewing window especially for surveillance and exploration activities. In responding to the need of green technology, airship is the best alternative for environmental friendly technology. ... -
A graphical method for membrane penetration in triaxial tests on granular soils
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-03)In granular soils, membrane penetration is significant which will affect the measurement of the specimen volume change since it is measured from the specimen water that came out of the specimen when the specimen is ... -
An investigation of the 85th percentile operating speed models on horizontal and vertical alignments for two-lane rural highways: A case study
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-03)The number of accidents in Malaysia increases relatively from year to year, although there are many programmes organised by the authority to reduce them. There are several factors that lead to serious accident problems ... -
Evaluating driver perception to the effectiveness of Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS): An ordered logit approach
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-06)This study aims to investigate driver perceived effectiveness to the implementation of traffic information dissemination system, i.e. Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS) in Klang Valley region, Malaysia. Five ... -
A prediction of acoustics characteristics for steam generator system
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-03)This paper presents a numerical analysis of the transmission loss (TL) for perforated steam generator system by adapting the theory of transmission of acoustic wave in an automotive exhaust pipe. The objective of this ... -
Proposed strength and stiffness parameters for normally consolidated and overconsolidated Dhaka clay
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-03)The undrained shear characteristics of reconstituted normally consolidated and overconsolidated samples of Dhaka clay are discussed. The disturbances on the soil structure result from sample penetration that reduces the ... -
UV based process for E.coli and Coliphage in secondary effluent for wastewater reclamation and reuse
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-06)The persistency and survival of pathogenic contamination related to biological risk has been a public concern when implementing water reclamation and reuse. To secure the public health risk when implementing water reuse, ... -
Modelling the rheological properties of bituminous binder using a mechanical model
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-06)Modelling is a very useful way to fit or describe the linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties of bituminous binders, which cannot be done via laboratory work. This study investigates the applicability of LVE rheological ... -
Engineering and entrepreneurship: Is it an Oxymoron?
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-03)What good are ground-breaking engineering technologies and innovations if they hardly make it to the market and few benefit from them? In this year’s Professor Chin Fung Kee Memorial Lecture, Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh ... -
