      The traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur and the high demand for urban space would inevitably lead to an underground transit system. The underground works will be posed with all the constraints and challenges in both design ...

    • Uniaxial die compaction of food powders 

      Yus Aniza, Yusof, Dr.; Andrew, C. Smith, Dr.; Brian, J. Briscoe, Prof. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-12)
      This paper presents a study of uniaxial die compaction of food powders for typical food powders such as maize powder and maize grits as well as a universal binder known as microcrystalline cellulose or Avicel. This method ...

    • Use of infoworks river simulation (RS) in Sungai Sarawak Kanan modeling 

      Y., Darrien S. Mah; Frederik, Josep Putuhena, Prof.; Salim, Said, Prof. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2007-03)
      The main purpose of this project was to reconstruct historical flood events at the flood-prone Sungai Sarawak Kanan to obtain flood hydrographs to provide explanation to the flooding of Bau town and surrounding areas. The ...

    • Use of natural vegetable oils as alternative dielectric transformer coolants 

      S. M., Bashi; U. U, Abdullahi; Robia, Yunus; Amir, Nordin (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2006-06)
      This paper discusses the present efforts by researchers to develop and provide an alternative means of cooling and insulating transformers. These efforts are borne out of the obvious importance of transformers in electrical ...

    • Use of recycled cement-based slurry water for making concrete 

      Low, Giau Leong; K.Y., Ng; W.L., Ng; C.T., Tam; R.B.W., Heng (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2007-12)
      Due to limited water resources in Singapore and the escalating cost of potable water, industries are constantly encouraged and challenged not only to generate less wastewater, but to recycle, reuse or reclaim as much as ...

    • Use of split sample approach in evaluation of stochastic daily rainfall generation models 

      Aminuddin, Mohd. Baki, Assoc. Prof. Dr. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2008-03)
      This paper reviews the use of split sample approach to test the ability of stochastic daily rainfall generation model to generate rainfall data for the future. The catchment adopted is Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales, ...

    • Use of suitable equation of state forthe conversion of volumetric to massflowrate in NGV refueling measurement 

      Mahidzal, Dahari; Nor Azizah, Hisam; Raihana, Ramlan; Mohamed Ibrahim, Abdul Mutalib, Dr. (The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-06)
      Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) is not new in the industry; however, it is becoming an uprising issue owing to the multitude advantages natural gas posses compared to the conventional fuel. The challenges, on the other hand, are ...
