An attempt of developing aerobic granules using industrial latex wastewater sludge was conducted. Optimization of cycling time were investigated and assessment of the effect of fluctuating organic loading was performed. ... -
Carbon foorprint for hostel construction using industrialised building system in Pauh Putra, Perlis
Emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from construction sector has been estimated to contribute nearly 50% of total global emission. Identifying the sources of emissions and understanding their function and relationship to ... -
Enhancing the thermal performance of courtyard office building in hot-humid climate : a case study of development department building UniMAP
Courtyard is considered a natural alternative for cooling since it has high ability to create a local climate within a building that is nicer than the outside which leads to create temperature difference between indoor ... -
The effectiveness of successful maintenance management in public hospital building
Building maintenance is an important aspect in facility management and should be given particular emphasis especially for complex buildings such as hospital so that it can operate at an optimal level. Despite the concern ... -
Understanding the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide into formate using a tin-plated cathode
Sn has been a research interest for its ability in converting CO2 into its reduced form very efficiently and at a relatively low energy cost. However, a complete and exhaustive study for the usage of Sn in electrochemical ... -
The development of photo-anode film for photo-electrochemical (PEC) reactor producing hydrogen (H2)
The world now uses energy at a rate of 13 TW. However, demand for energy will double by 2050 and more than triple by the end of the century. Petroleum as an energy source is unsustainable because it tied to global warming, ... -
Characterization and properties of polypropylene/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/palm kernel shell composites
Thermoplastic elastomer composites was developed by using polypropylene (PP) / recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBRr) filled by palm kernel shell (PKS). All test samples were prepared by using heated two roll mill ... -
Study on the potential of repair fire-damaged reinforced concrete beams using ultra high performance concrete with curing at ambient temperature
Fire-damaged reinforced concrete structure requires repair work to improve its serviceability and prevent structural failure. The intense fire exposure on the structure deteriorates its strength and durability. Fire-damaged ... -
