Technical Sciences/ University of Novi sad, Serbia
ABSTRACT
Traditional desert buildings represent living witnesses for the
correspondence of these buildings to the severe ambient
environment especially the harsh desert climate. Ghadames is one
of desert cities in Libya that was well known for its
correspondence to the harsh desert climate.
This paper is going to study the spontaneous and practical
experimentation of the traditional buildings, especially houses, in
Ghadames, through determining the ambient climatic factors and
study the effect of these factors on the buildings design & details
such as: materials, construction systems, walls thickness, type of
roofing, openings. …etc. The paper also will study analysis of
thermal comfort of these buildings and the materials that were
used, such as: sun dried brick, gypsum and mud, depending on the
thermal properties of these materials that accommodated to desert
climate. Thermal properties of building materials should be
considered in buildings and housing projects in the desert and hot
arid regions.
KEY WORDS: Traditional architecture, desert buildings,
Ghadames, building envelope, thermal comfort, thermal.

Unused electronic appliances cause many impacts to the
environment. People prefer to dispose their unused electronic
appliances without any further processing that may lead to pollute
the environment. As the result, pollutants caused by unused
electronic appliances are increasing every year, along with the
increasing of today’s people needs of electronic appliances for their
daily life. This model persuades people to prefer collecting their
unused electronic appliances in purpose to exchange them for new
electronic appliances, in order that these electronic waste can be
better controlled by government to prevent more pollutant caused by
these electronic wastes. This model connects people as consumers
and electronic waste producers, electronic industries as electronic
waste recycler, and government as policy maker and electronic waste
controller. The implementation of this model can be conducted by
non-profit organization supervised by government to inform people
that electronical wastes are harmful for environment and they better
collect and exchange their electronic wastes for new electronic
appliances in certain terms and conditions.
Keywords: unused electronic appliances, non-profit organization,
and exchange.

ABSTRACT
Using natural gas as a heating fuel is one of the various uses of this
invaluable fuel. The real and major importance of natural gas can be
realized regarding the natural gas plentiful added value and its
capabilities for being converted into thousands of valuable economic
commodities in the oil and petrochemicals industry as the primary
material and the energy resource. The growing need for gas to
provide energy and fuel, and the foreign currency resulted from sales
and export for investment and launching primary industries in the
country, reinforced the idea of bundling gas industry related
activities. Therefore, in line with this, and based on the legal statute,
NIGC as one of the four major subsidiaries of Iran's Oil Ministry
was established. The initial capital of the company amounted to $25
million, in 1965.
Since its establishment, NIGC has gradually achieved capabilities

and managed to have access to various sources and facilities such as
experts and efficient human force equipped with scientific and
theoretical vision and knowledge, tools, equipment, machinery and
various advanced workshops for implementing its operations
proportionate with the economic and social development trend of the
country, so that it can independently accomplish all the related tasks
complying with the valid international acceptable standards.
Right now, The NIGC is one of the top ten gas companies in the gas
industry in the Middle East, and one of the four major subsidiaries of
the Oil Ministry. Having over 50years of experience, it is responsible
for providing over 65 percent of the fuel required by the country.
The company, in terms of providing gas, does own an important
position both inside the country and abroad and proportionate with
its needs and expansion of its activities in the country and abroad, it
has taken measures to revise its structure. While maintaining and
reinforcing its potential in hardware and software terms, the NIGC
has recruited experts and trained staff and updated its experienced
staff knowledge.
At the present time, the number of the NIGC permanent staff is more
than 18000 persons

ABSTRACT
Indonesia as a maritime country which is located at 60 N - 110 S
latitude and 950– 1410 E longitude has an ocean area reach out
5,000,000 km2. This biggest archipelago country in the world has
great ocean energy potential. In the other hand, Indonesian
electricity energy demand is always increasing. Data from Central
Bureau of Statistics of Indonesia ( Badan Pusat Statistik) record that
in the year 2013 Indonesian electricity consumption achieved 185.9
GWh and it was 234.9 % of Indonesian electricity consumption in
2000. It is indicated by this condition that Indonesia need another
alternative energy sources to supply the electricity needs. This
ocean energy potential makes Ocean Wave Energy (OWE) is precise
to be developed in Indonesia. In this paper, study of OWE with
Oscillating Water Column (OWC) converter is discussed. Numerical
method is used to analyze the quantitative approach of OWE
potential in Indonesia. For the calculation, it is assumed that
chamber width is 2,5 m and ocean water density is 1030 kg/m3. To
calculate the energy, data of ocean significant height from

from the numerical calculation the Indonesian OWE potential
distribution can be represented. The greatest power that can be
produced is located in Aru Islands and Arafuru Sea, which is reach
out 313 kW and has minimum value 55 kW. The median value of
ocean power is located in the south coast of middle Java, Timor Sea,
and Banda Sea which have maximum value 198 kW and minimum
value 20 kW. This ocean wave energy can be increased by modify
the converter amount and chamber width. From the calculation it can
be concluded that OWE can be potential alternative energy source in
Indonesia.

ABSTRACT
Cementing is an essential operation during construction of an oil or
gas well. Cement in oil industry is used to hold casing in place and
to prevent fluid migration between subsurface formations and the
borehole. Also, it aids in protecting the casing from corrosion and
from shock loads in deeper drilling.
The quality of cement behind a casing plays a vital role during
drilling and has a serious impact on the secondary cementing,
workover and stimulation operation. However, cement slurry is
prepared by mixing cement and water with some additives such as
Accelerator, AntiFoam agents, Extenders, Retarders and fluid loss
control etc. These additives used to modify the properties of cement
slurries for specific use in oil well-cementing applications. Although
many additives are mixed in the slurry but the problem is still the
slurry contains some pores leading to decrease the strength of the
cement over the years ahead.
The project targets to improve the performance of a cement by
adding a swelling elastomer in the slurry to overcome the effect of
pores in the slurry. As known, elastomer is amorphous polymer
which is used for seals, adhesives and molded flexible parts . Thus, a
cement slurry will be prepared and mixed with a swelling elastomer
and under certain condition of pressure and temperature elastomer
will swell filing and blocking the pores in the slurry. Elastomer will
enhance the strength of the cement leading to better performance
avoiding failures when it operates. The mixture will be left until it
become hard then different oil from different fields will be tested to
show their effect on the slurry.

As far as known, a slurry should be designed for its specific
application, with good properties to allow placement in a normal
period, so different properties of cement slurries will be considered
when adding elastomer. Using elastomer in cement will provide high
quality of cement and will ensure the long-term durability of
borehole. Initial cost will be slightly higher since the addition of the
elastomer in the slurry but it will reduce workover cost and total cost
over many years

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the current role, relevance, trends and
challenges in respect of Just-in-Time (JIT) techniques within the
field of Libyan Oil & Gas, which struggled with many difficulties
due to many problems, creating strongly negative impacts on the
productivity and utilization of many companies around the country.
The current implementation levels of JIT techniques as a planning
and control system within the surveyed industry was investigated. A
survey methodology has been applied using an intensive detailed
questionnaire. Based on the analysis of the survey, the results show
that in most cases the management body within the surveyed
companies has a modest strategy towards most of the areas that are
considered as being crucial in any successful implementation of
these techniques. The results also show a variation within the
implementation levels of the JIT sub-elements, giving the highest
level in the emphasise on implementing preventative maintenance
programmes. The paper has also identified limitations within the
targeted companies, and has pointed to areas where senior managers
should take actions in order to achieve effective implementations of
JIT systems within their companies.

expected to facilitate access to futuristic smarter cities. Ever
increasing demands for smart city systems in the planet can never be
under estimated which calls for adequate sustainable international
developments. Such smart cities are geared to meet up with all
global practices and standards (economic, environmental and social).
At least, minimum design standard requirements within the general
accepted level of environmental friendliness, safety, security, health,
access and ecological considerations are required to be put in place.
As a result of the above, this paper revisits as well as appraises the
exposition of duly accredited international standards, information
and communication technology such as innovative designs systems,
amphibian architecture systems, digital city systems, intelligent
building systems, zero-energy emission systems, 3d printed homes

ABSTRACT
This thesis paper explains the concept of CSR in detail with the help
of different definitions that different authors have given.
Stakeholders’ theory is used to clarify that how individuals or groups
are a key element in the firm’s external environment that can
positively or negatively affect the organization.
Corporate social responsibility is the constant dedication by
organizations to behave ethically and contribute to economic
development while improving the quality of life for community at
large. CSR shows a company’s commitment towards its stakeholders
which includes employees, customers, suppliers, investors,
government agencies etc. By embracing CSR an organization can get
great support from the community, so CSR must be taken seriously
by the companies. A social responsibility strategy should accomplish
two goals: create a positive social impact, and enhance the
company's brand, reputation, employee morale, and its bottom line.
Every organization should know whether CSR benefits the brand,
affects customer retention and boosts the reputation of the business.
CSR has five main benefits for an organization which are: positive
effects on company and brand reputation, positive impact on
employee morale, retention and recruitment, cost savings, revenue
increase from higher sales and market share and finally CSR related
risk reduction.
Detailed history of CSR has been explained in this paper to show

that how this concept has developed and flourished over time.
History of CSR is as old as trade and business itself. With the
industrialization the impact of business on society and environment
entered a new dimension. The entrepreneurs of the late nineteenth
and early twentieth century started to use some of their wealth to
support philanthropic activities. Different authors have given
different definitions for CSR and no one single definition is used as
universal definition of CSR.
In the analysis this paper has used Carroll’s framework to examine
the CSR activities of six companies. Carroll in his famous CSR
pyramid model defines four types of corporate responsibilities:
economic, legal, ethical and discretionary (philanthropic)
responsibilities. In the analysis CSR activities of Mobilink, Nike,
Shell, FFC, Unilever and Coca Cola have been analyzed thoroughly
by data gathered through their CSR reports. By dividing the CSR
activities in Carroll’s framework we were able to identify the activity
or activities on which companies focus more. CSR motivations of
all of these companies were analyzed by thoroughly studying
different CSR reports, websites etc. of these companies. The focus of
activities is almost the same for most of companies. All the
companies make charity and donations on regular basis. They all are
supporting the community development.
To check whether these companies are more focused on
environmental, social, economic or stakeholders’ dimensions while
adopting their CSR activities, CSR dimensions by Dahlsrud were
applied. CSR dimension of all the companies is different from each
other. It is interesting to know that economic dimension is present in
CSR activities of all companies.

ABSTRACT
A comparative study on giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) of series
and parallel current flowing through two amorphous Co-based wires
in parallel setup has been reported in this work. The direction of
current flowing through two parallel wires geometry is important for
GMI effect. This phenomenon is effectively enhanced by the mutual
magnetic interaction between two parallel wires in series and parallel
current mode. The best GMI response measured in series current

type and 8 mm distance between two wires. In two-wire series
current system the magnetic interaction is stronger than parallel
current system because the magnetic field interactions add to other.
The GMI ratio increase from 300% of single wire to 480% of two
wires in series current type. However when the current is in parallel
current mode, the effective magnetic field reduces and the GMI ratio
decreases to 200%. These results show that the GMI response could
be effectively improved in two-wire series current system, which is
useful for the application of low dimensional and high sensitive GMI
sensors.

Dietary Intake of Macronutrient and Basic Metabolic Index
(BMI) of Women in Rural Pakistan
Mr. Muhammad Israr
Scientific Officer Pakistan Science Foundation G-5/2, 1-
Constitution Avenue Islamabad
ABSTRACT
Nutritional status is the best indicator of a population’s consumption
of essential nutrients and defense against diseases and in Asia,
women plays a central role in the family and the ill effects of
malnutrition are propagated to generations through women. This
study was designed to investigate the nutritional status and macro
nutrient (protein, energy and fats) intake of women in rural area of
Pakistan. Three villages were selected on the basis that farmers
community were living there and these villages were far away from
each others’ covering ethnic and geographical variation. Fifty
women were selected from each village for the study. Information
about food intake was obtained by filling a questionnaire. Ten
women were selected from each selected 50 women of each village
for duplicate food sample. The details of food intake in questionnaire
were converted into nutrient intake and duplicate food samples were
collected from these women and analyzed for proximate
composition. The results of questionnaire show the range of macro
nutrient intakes which were; protein 6.0 % to 9 %; fat 6 % to 15 %;
Nitrogen Free Extract 25 % to 47 %; The energy content ranged
from 1485/day to 2866 Kcal/day. The results of duplicate sample
show the range of macro nutrient intakes which were; protein 3.0 %
to 7 %; fat 1 % to 4 %; Nitrogen Free Extract 13 % to 24 %. In
conclusion it can be inferred that quite a small proportion of women
in the target population were in the range of normal BMI and the
curve was skewed towards right indicating the overweight and
obesity was quite common. This seems to be the result of low level
of physical activity than over eating because energy intake was not
very high among the subjects.

ABSTRACT
Morphometry analysis of Orammiriukwa river system has been
carried out using planimeter and atlas maps. The Orammiriukwa
river system as defined in this study includes Rivers Orammiriukwa,
Mba and Okitankwu located in Imo State of Nigeria. Morphometry
parameters considered for analysis include the linear and areal aspect
of the basin only. The Orammiriukwa basin covers an area of
919.979km2 and is a 4
th order drainage basin with mainly dendritic
drainage pattern. The maximum stream frequency is in the 2nd
order
streams, an indication that the basin is prone to erosion. The length
of the river system was evaluated as 93.45km.
The length-area relation is L = 8.308A0.1987 and center of gravity of
the watershed is 5°331N, 7°81E . The mean bifurcation ratio is 2.569
indicating that the watershed is not affected by structural
disturbances. The basin has low drainage density of 0.102 indicating
very less permeable subsoil and sparse vegetation. The length of the
overland flow values of the basin is 4.558km, indicating that the
surface runoff of the catchment is high. It is recommended that the
morphometric data generated through this study are used to prioritize
the Orammiriukwa watershed.

(Avicennia alba, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and
Xylocarpus granatum). Data collection was done across three
seasons: Intermediate, dry and wet of both sites in order to get one
year average. Sampled mangrove species were sorted out into leaves,
branches, stems, bark (aboveground), roots (belowground) and litter;
soil samples were collected at 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm deep.
Carbon organic content was determined using furnace (LOI)
followed by a conversion factor. The data obtained were utilized to
compare the results between species, tree partitioning, soil depth,
seasons and different siting. Results showed that carbon is more
allocated in the bark and within 20-30 cm deep underground. In
vegetations, results for intermediate and dry seasons revealed that
the total stock of carbon is not significantly different 5.11 t/ha and
5.22 t/ha in ODCC, and 9.32 t/ha and 9.62 t/ha in Kg. Melayu
respectively. In soil, results for intermediate and dry seasons brought
to light that the total carbon stock is not significantly different
1050.71 t/ha and 1058.96 t/ha in ODCC, and 930.48 t/ha and 967.58
t/ha in Kg. Melayu respectively. The total coverage of mangrove
forest is Carey Island was estimated 182.72 ha. So the total carbon
stock on Carey Island is 202716.87 (t/ha C yrˉ¹) which is subjected
to change as the study is proceeded to the wet season.

ABSTRACT
The adsorption removal of crystal violet (CV) on chemically
modified Date palm cellulose (CMDPC) were investigated using
batch adsorption technique. The investigation was carried out by
studying the influence of initial solution pH, Time, adsorbent dosage
and initial concentration of Crystal violet, and temperature. The
single component equilibrium data was analyzed using Langmuir,
Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin adsorption
isotherms. The results showed that equilibrium was reached within
20 min. The used biosorbent gave the highest adsorption capacity at
pH 8. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed and modeled.
The maximum adsorption capacity, Langmuir’s qmax, improved
from 11.71 to 12.05 mg/g as the temperature increased from 20 to
40°C. The enthalpy ΔH° and entropy ΔS° values were respectively
estimated at 45.4 kJ mol-1 and -0.206 kJ K-1 mol-1 The adsorption
of CV on (CMDPC) is a spontaneous process. It was shown that the
adsorption of Crystal violet could be described by the pseudo-
second order equation, suggesting that the adsorption process is
presumable a chemisorption.

properties were the focus of the study in order to prove the efficiency
of adding fine sand to improve adhesive properties and reduce cost.
Based on the compressive and flexural tests, results indicated that
the addition of sand to the adhesive improved its mechanical
properties when sand is 50% of the total weight of the adhesive.
However, its effect on the modulus of elasticity is minimal. Using
adhesive with fine sand increased the ultimate load bearing capacity,
ductility, stiffness and toughness of the reinforced concrete beams
strengthened by CFRP. The study also revealed that the best ratio of
fine-sand to adhesive in terms of cost reduction, maintaining
workability, and enhancing the mechanical properties is 1. Lastly,
the use of fine sand with adhesive ensured a significant reduction in
the cost of the adhesive and increased the adhesive resistance to
temperature.

ABSTRACT
Two oils were separated using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
and initial characterisation of the aliphatic and aromatic fraction was
carried out by GC and GC/MS analysis. Asphaltenes from the crude
oil were then extracted and subjected to ruthenium ion catalysed
oxidation (RICO) in order to investigate the hydrocarbon and
biomarkers occluded onto the asphaltenes. The asphaltene-bound
hydrocarbons were compared with the maltene-derived hydrocarbon
to evaluate the effect of biodegradation on asphaltene-bound
biomarkers. The biodegraded maltene-derived hydrocarbons show
depletion of n-alkanes, acyclic isoprenoids and alteration to sterane
and hopane biomarkers. However, asphaltene-bound hydrocarbon
shows n-alkanoic acid distribution from C7 – C34 which
corresponds to n-alkanes suggesting protection of the hydrocarbons
from biodegradation. The steranoic acids of non-degraded sample
show similar distribution to corresponding steranes in the maltenes.
This is different for biodegraded samples which have different
distribution of steranoic acids with the steranes counterparts in the
maltenes suggesting secondary oil charging from different source.
Hopanoic acids distribution for both samples show similar
distribution as compared to their hopane counterparts in maltenes.
The distribution of asphaltene-bound biomarkers is suggested to
represent two oil samples which is protected from biodegradation as
a result of being occluded onto asphaltenes. This result shows the
possibility of using asphaltene-bound biomarkers as an alternative

ABSTRACT
In practice, the properties of the neodymium magnets are highly
dependent on the precise composition of the alloy and its
microstructure. The aim of our work is to determine the content of
neodymium and the impurities of a magnet Nd-Fe-B. This work is
financially supported by the Research Thematic Agency in Science
and Technology. The first step is to analyze the impurities from a
super NdFeB magnet. We used the following techniques: The
neutron radiography, the neutron activation analysis (NAA) and the
scanning electron microscope coupled with EDX. The samples of
NdFeB and standards are weighed and packed in polyethylene
envelopes. They are simultaneously irradiated in thermal reactors
column (NUR Draria-Algiers) under a neutron flux of
3.4x1012n/cm²/s. The radioactivity of the samples is measured using
100keV and 2000keV. The detected elements are: Ni, Al, Ti, Cu,
Mn, In, Ta, Ce, Sm, Eu, Np, Yb, Gd, Lu. The digital processing of
the images obtained by the neutron radiography shows that in the
NdFeB matrix, the distribution of elements is homogeneous. The
SEM micrographies show three different phases of contrasts: light,
gray and black which correspond to Nd, Fe, and B. In a second step
the powder is dissolved in hydrochloric acid solution. We add an
oxalic acid solution to precipitate Nd as neodymium oxalate. The
identification of the most intense peaks in the XRD spectrum shows
the presence of a single compound which is hydrated neodymium
oxalate chemical formula Nd2(C2O4)3.10H2O. Its purity is
measured by neutron activation analysis. The counting of γ spectrum
shows that the purity of the precipitate is higher than 99%. Then, the
thermal decomposition transforms this powder to neodymium oxide.
After the reduction we obtain pure neodymium. The analytical
balance shows that this magnet contains 26% of neodymium.

ABSTRACT
Neodymium-iron-boron alloys are very sensitive, particularly to the
air humidity. The aim of this work is to study the effectiveness of
polymer coatings against corrosion in the cases cited above. This
work is financially supported by the Research Thematic Agency in
Science and Technology. In this context we introduced the neutron
reflectometry to study the ultra-thin polymer film interfaces of
polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Reflectometry experiments were
conducted at the nuclear research center of Draria (Algiers). The
preparation of the PMMA films is performed by means a technique
based on depositing a thin film on a planar solid surface. This
method known as the “spin-coating’’ provides dense, homogeneous
materials very thin after a rapid evaporation of the total solvent.
First, we realized calibration settings "zero" reflectometer: one seeks
the zero position of the detector, the optimal position of the sample
and its angle of rotation. The measured reflectivity as a function of
the scattering vector Q, gives information on the thickness of layers,
roughness of multilayer system. From the spectrum of the
reflectivity vs. the wave vector (scan q-2q of the PMMA film), we
find a thickness of the PMMA film. Electrochemical measurements
were performed in a three electrode cell using an VoltaLab Master4,
Model 273A potentiostat. The samples of Nd-Fe-B magnets covered
by the PMMA film are used as working electrode in the NaCl
(0.5M) solution, a platinum wire as counter electrode and a saturated
calomel electrode (SCE) as reference electrode. The polarization
parameter values, corrosion current density (Icorr) and the
polarization resistance (Rp) were determined. The corrosion rate
values obtained show interesting perspectives for our work. The
corrosion resistance is improved in the presence of PMMA layers.
We note that for variable thickness of PMMA film 485nm and
1,5µm the polarization resistance are 518Wcm² and 6550Wcm²
respectively. The corrosion rate values obtained show interesting
perspectives for our work. The corrosion resistance is improved in
the presence of PMMA layers

ABSTRACT
The incorporation of silica fume into the normal concrete is a routine
in the present days to produce the tailor made high strength and high
performance concrete. The strength of concrete increases with
incorporation of silica fume in partial replacement of cement in a
high strength concrete. The main objective of this research work has
been made to investigate the compressive strength of concrete
incorporating silica fume. In this present research work 5 (five)
different mix of concrete were made incorporating silica fume.
These experiments were carried out by replacing cement with
different percentages of silica fume at a single constant water-
cement ratio keeping other mix design variables constant. The silica
fume was replaced by 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% with constant water-
cement ratio of 0.40. The silica fume incorporated concrete were
tested for 1 day, 7 days, 28 days and 60 days compressive strength.
Other fresh concrete properties like compacting factor and slump
were also determined for five mixes of concrete to find the
workability of the concrete.

School of civil engineering, University Linton College, Malaysia
ABSTRACT
This paper represents the experimental results of a concrete using
seashell as a partial replacement. The present work is to investigate
the effects of seashells in concrete production to produce high
strength concrete. The compressive strength, flexural strength and
split tensile strength tests were carried out with different
proportioned sea shells at different curing days, as well as finding
the optimum percentages of sea shell replacements to give targeted
strengths.
The concrete samples were prepared by adding seashells about 0%,
10%, 20%, 30% and 40% as a partial replacement to coarse
aggregate. All these samples were cured for 7 days, 14 days and 28
days before the compressive, split tensile and flexural test were
carried out.
A total of 135 specimens were casted and tested for five mixtures in
their proportions so as to determine the mechanical properties of the
concrete. It should be noted that no additives were added to the mix
except sea shell as a partial replacement coarse aggregate. A total of
45 cubes were casted for compressive strength test with dimensions
of (150mm x150mm x150mm) and 45 prisms were casted for
flexural strength test with dimensions of (100mm x100mm x300mm)
and remaining 45 cylinders casted for split tensile strength test with
dimensions of (100mm x200). After these tests were carried out, the
results were used to compare with those of the control experiment.
The results showed a decrease in density due to increase in seashell
content and a high strength value obtained for 20% replacement. It
was noted that implementing seashells in the concrete mix can be
used to produce a lightweight concrete with high strength.
Keywords: coarse aggregate, Seashells, compressive strength,

ABSTRACT
Urges for sustainable development had pushed the government and
professional bodies to respond and react by implementing
regulations where possible to direct development in that manner.
However, the outcome in most financial conferences and dialogues
on sustainable buildings flagged on high construction and
maintenance cost. Thus, this study is conducted to collect and
analyze actual building operation and maintenance cost between GBI
and Non-GBI rated buildings in Malaysia. There are three categories
of selected buildings which are residential building, hotel building
and office building. Each category of the building consists of similar
building’s characteristic such as geographic location, building
heights, total numbers of floors and units. The scope of building’s
maintenance for this study is on wear and tear of the wall painting,
electrical light fittings, ceiling panels, roofing system and
mechanical services like water pump system are recorded for their
frequency of service and the cost involved within a period of 12
months operation at cost percentage saving of 78.9%, 67.4% and
40.4% for residential building, hotel building and office building
respectively compare to Non-GBI rated buildings. Electricity
consumption for GBI rated buildings are lower than Non-GBI rated
buildings which recorded at the cost variance of 42.9%, 21.8% and
9.3% and water consumption at 35.9%, 49.6% and 44.0% for the
abovementioned three categories of selected buildings. With these
results, this study hope to convince stakeholders of the industry to
invest on GBI related technologies and consumers will rest assured
that sustainable construction does benefit in cost saving.

ABSTRACT
Mining laws in various countries require trained mine rescue
personnel at all mining operations at surface and underground
mining operations. Mine rescue teams must have the knowledge of
the procedures used to rescue miners trapped by various hazards,
including fire, explosions, toxic gas, smoke inhalation, and water
entering the mine. A delay in seconds can cost life of victims to the
underground mine accidents. So there is a need of a vehicle which
can considerably reduce the time of travel in rescuing operations in
underground mines. This paper discusses on the various fatalities
associated with underground mine accidents, design of Rakshak, the
underground mine ambulance which have specially designed seating
configurations for a paramedic to stabilize an injured person while
driving and equipped with all necessary medications. The potential
of Rakshak to serve its purpose for rescuing operations in
Underground mines and its deployment in such hazardous and risky
environment is also analyzed. The design of Rakshak is done using
Solid works software.

ABSTRACT
Explosion Cladding is process of joining two or more dissimilar
metals which cannot be welded together by means of explosion or
blasting. Blasting processes makes use of explosives and the process
of explosion itself means sudden conversion of explosive material
into gaseous products releasing violent pressure, sound and heat. The
unavoidable effects of blasting include release of noxious gases,
ground vibrations, noise; fly rocks etc., which damages the
surrounding structures and environment. These effects however can
be reduced up to acceptable limits for safer conditions. Studies were
done at different sites at various locations in an effort to reduce the
effect of blast vibrations and noise on surrounding structures.
Damage criteria for safety of the structures and persons in the
surrounding area were also evaluated to suggest suitable control
measures. This paper discusses various methods and suggestions that
can be implemented to reduce the negative effects of Blast
Vibrations and noise on surrounding structures near explosive
cladding sites.

ABSTRACT
The use of nuclear energy as an energy generating plenty of
controversy on the various parties invited. National energy
consumption continues to increase every year, and the decline in
crude oil production , requiring government policies to conserve
energy. Nuclear energy is one energy source that has the potential to
help address the nation's energy problems. Based on data from Draft
Indonesia Nuclear Energy Outlook 2014, the National Nuclear
Energy Agency (BATAN), total reserves (speculative) uranium in
Indonesia stood at 59.200 tonnes, equivalent to 6.5 GWe (gigawatt
equivalent). While total reserves (speculative) thorium amounted to
1.500 tons, or the equivalent of 1,850 Mwe (MegaWatt equivalent)
for 30 years of operation. Nuclear energy is part of the new
renewable energy. The President Decree no.5 year 2006 to the legal
basis for the use of renewable energy to include it in the national
energy mix in 2025 of more than 5% of the national energy mix.
Nevertheless the construction of nuclear power plants installation
reap many pro and contra. In this paper will be discussed in a
qualitative analysis of the various sectors of the nuclear power plants
such as the energy sector, political, environmental, economic, safety,
and social. And will be compared to the standard application of the
Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) from the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA). And also will display the results of a randomly
online survey are used to seeing the response of ordinary people who
are already familiar with information technology for nuclear power
plants. Feedback society deemed to have been familiar with good
information technology demonstrates the persistence of the
vacillation of society against nuclear power plants. It is seen from

ABSTRACT
National sugar industry holds an important role to meet the growing
demand for sugar. Along with economic growth and technological
progress, Indonesia is one of the rich country of human resources,
plants, and as agrarian country have very lush land. Land of
Indonesia have good potention that every plants can grow.
Sugarcane is grown often face difficulties, especially on soil
properties, soil texture, and soil conditions. One of the effort can to
solving the problem is soil tillage. Application of mechanization can
to managing the building of irrigation, drainage, flood, water control
system, performing environmental impact assessments, and
agricultural product processing. Soil tillage have two parts about
primary tillage and secondary tillge that have some function to
change soil texture, soil properties, and soil condition so that
sugarcane can grow well. There are four kinds of soil tillage that
using full mechanization for tractor and implement used, they are :
Plowing I ,Plowing II , Harrowing, Furrowing. The objectives of the
field practice were to make land suitability map for sugarcaneplant
(Saccharum officinarum), to give recommendation of location
including area for sugarcane plant cultivation and to increase
sugarcane plant productivity. Parameter measured show that Bigger
field efficiency when harrowing activities is 93.24 % and have
minimum fuel consumption cost amount of 74585.64 Rp/acre if it
compared with other soil tillage. Minimum field efficiency when
plowing I activities is 60.22 % and have bigger fuel consumption
cost is 232758.6 Rp/acre.

ABSTRACT
Every individual has a tendency to save for various reasons. They
may be for short term purposes like paying for a holding or for
buying a car or they may be made for long term purposes such as
constructing a house or providing for retirement. Sometimes savings
are made simply to meet unknown contingencies. Man works to earn
income to meet his own needs. Every man has unlimited wants and
to satisfy these wants, he works and continues to work for a long
time. Income earning is the predominant and prime motive in every
body’s life. Individuals normally take their own time to settle down
in a job and to become successful investors. Though the prime
objective of income earning is to pay for his demands, still income
has got a different role to play. The desire to earn and save for future
needs dominates the minds of the income earners. Further, there is
no guarantee that surplus will result into savings. Willingness to save
is more important than capacity to save. It is true to say that when
there is willingness to save, the capacity to save can be created.
Savings by itself don’t provide any return. It merely provides safety.
Man would like to get some return from his savings. Further, he has
reached a stage where the rate of returns decides his investment
pattern.
Keywords: investment, income earning, successful investors.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to find the relationship between audit
alumni and audit fee. I will focus on alumni gender and alumni
ethnicity as to the best of my knowledge, there are still very limited
numbers of researcher study on this alumni characteristic.
Nowadays, the term of independence is no longer being applied in
some of the company. As has been highlighted under MIA By-Laws
(2007, p. 28), one of the factors that can reduce the level of
independence is audit alumni or former partner which can create
familiarity threats by creating a special relationship between audit
alumni and external auditor. The main approach used in the present
in this study is quantitative because the research questions aim
mainly to find the relationships among the variables. The primary
findings in this research is the effect of audit alumni by adjusting the
level of audit fee, but however there is a few limitations in preparing
this paper, especially during data collection whereby some of the

company will not disclose the details of their audit fee information
and some of the company will be too secretive in disclosing the audit
alumni background. My paper extends and contributes to prior
literature in a number of ways in term of practice and theory. Firstly,
in terms of practice. By conducting this research I will address the
alumni effect on audit fees. The second contribution of this study
derives from the theory development. In this research, Social
Exchange Theory will explain the benefit maximization and cost
minimization which explains the alumni effect on audit fees.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to know and to examine the
relationships of several key factors in creating a sense of fraud
awareness among the practitioners. Fraud awareness in nowadays
world especially those who involve in the preparation of
amcompany’s financial reporting mseems to be important to ensure
the sustainability of the company in future. From the reading
of literature review, there are six factors that can help in creating
fraud awareness among mpractitioners. Each variable is measured
using 5-point interval scale: forensic accounting (4 items), fraud
cases (4 items), training (4 items), member composition (4 items),
job position (4 items), and integrity (4 items). The data being
collected by using primary data collection which 200 questionnaires
were distributed to the target respondents. Unit of analysis for this
study are the practitioners of a company in Malaysia. Out of 200
questionnaires distributed to the respondents, only 193
questionnaires being collected representing 96.5 percent response
rate. All the data being analysed using Structural equation modelling
which also known as SEM and AMOS 16. The goodness of fit for
the model only achieved after several deletions made on the items
through modification indices verifications.

ABSTRACT
The research focused on the knowledge and application of lean
principles in curtailing material wastage in construction sites by
different construction professional in Nigeria. 1000 questionnaires
were administered to Architects, Quantity surveyors, Building
engineers, civil engineers and support staff. The questionnaires
accessed their knowledge, use and barriers in the application of the
principle. The results suggest a great number of respondents (57%)
had little or no knowledge of the concept ;,( 12%) claim to know the
principle but do not apply it; a great number know the concept but
had barriers stopping them from its application while a percentage
know the concept but apply it from time to time.. Overall the results
suggest the major cause of material waste on construction sites could
be attributed to poor planning and/or management; low quality
control and blatant carelessness. Inappropriate designs, unsuitable
specifications, inadequate supervision of labor attributed to the
moderate causes of waste; absence of current technology , untimely
acquisition of resources and stealing served as the low potential
causes. Analysis of results showed wastes of indicated: 40%, 28%,
15%, 10% and 32% for sand; cement; aggregate; formwork and
bricks respectively. Iinability of professionals in the application of
lean principles in construction either as a result of lack of
information or strong barriers preventing them. This inability to
apply the principle is one of the major causes of high level of
material wastages; poor quality; inefficiencies and hazards in
construction sites. The effective application of the principles will go
a long way in cutting down cost of construction thereby improving
the local and global economies.

India has many major holiday and festival seasons. Traditionally
customers in India wait for the festive season to shop. Due to this
deferred purchase, retailers normally experience a rise in purchase
during festive season. Festivals contribute 20per cent to revenue of
retailer as People are making new purchases even during regional
festivals. As festive season in India is very vital to the consumer
durable companies because around 60 per cent of the consumer
durable product sales happens during this up beat selling season.
Fashion clothing and brands have many reasons to celebrate on
every festive season as consumers are purchasing apparel, footwear
and accessories in larger numbers than expected, ahead of a long line
of festivals and during wedding season.
The festive feel good factor, gifting and targeted campaigns of
retailer all contribute to this growth. The sales promotion during
festive seasons includes festive discounts, selling gift cards,
corporate vouchers, etc. have “bundling” feature for festive offers.
Moreover, robust economic growth and increasing spending power.
Although India’s economic growth has slowed in recent years, the
country still remains a promising emerging economy with a growth
story that is expected to remain nearly intact over the short to
medium run. With increase in economic activity, job opportunities
and spending power have increased across the country which in turn
has contributed to the heightened demand for sweets, clothing,
accessories, electrical, electronic goods, luxury goods etc., during
festive seasons.

ABSTRACT
This paper outlines the requirement for a successful measurement of
an equipment named Mass Properties Measurement System (MPMS)
which capable to calculate the center of gravity (CG), moment of
inertia (MOI) and Product of Inertia (POI) of a satellite. POI-1000M
is the model type for this equipment which can measure a specimen
from 10 kilogram and up to 1 ton in weight. Go through a factory
acceptance test (FAT) is compulsory before receiving a machine,
which has been done earlier in Connecticut, USA. Then, National
Space Agency (ANGKASA) which acts as a Malaysian Government
Agency has to experience through an Acceptance Test Procedure
(ATP) to compare on the performance review with FAT. This ATP
was conducted on determining the requirements of a specification or
contract are met or not by conducting test which is commonly
applied for engineering and its various sub disciplines. The ATP was
done in ANGKASA headquarters located in Banting, Selangor and
have been witnessed by a Malaysian Research Institute; SIRIM
Berhad, local and international contractors as well as the principal of
the equipment itself. The ATP may involve chemical tests, physical
tests, or performance tests by comparing the results with FAT
(“Acceptance testing”, 2015). Both environmental condition and
steady equipment preparations gave big influence for having
optimum reading. POI-1000M Rotary table, deadweights and a
compressor are the main components assisted by a control system
used by operators to calculate the desired measurements during the
ATP. By comparing both the ATP and FAT results, it has been
confirmed that the equipment is successfully approved and satisfied
on its performance.

ABSTRACT
Hyacinth (Eichornia Crasisspes) is a wild plant that is considered
polluting the waters and the aquatic environment. On the other hand
hyacinth very helpful in reducing the environmental pollution caused
by household waste and residual waste feed-forage fish, as well as
pollution caused by other chemical substances that are dangerous to
human health. Besides the water hyacinth can also reduce levels of
heavy metals contained in a body of water. In the field of modern
agriculture, water hyacinth can also be used as a growing medium,
or may be used for the manufacture of organic fertilizer for plants in
the greenhouse or dilur. This is because the water hyacinth has
organic substances indispensable plant. For certain regions, hyacinth
also has a high potential to be used as handicrafts, which would add
to the welfare of the area.

propellants due to its high energy density in addition to easy storage
and handling properties. Characterisation of HAN was done via
thermal studies of binary HAN solution. In order to understand the
effect of zero oxygen balance on HAN ternary mixture, electrolytic
decomposition experiment in thermal isolated beaker was performed
on these mixtures. Result shows that oxygen balance does not
directly correspond to maximum electrolytic decomposition
temperature (Tmax) of respective fuel. Dielectric constant was found
to have inverse relationship with Tmax. Dielectric constant of
mixtures was obtained by taking into consideration of polarisation of
mixture that Y = -5.641X + 512.8, where Y represents Tmax and X
represents dielectric constant of mixture.A prototype of
microcombustion chamber is fabricated using
polydimethyl(siloxane) (PDMS) as structural material. Positive and
negative moulding techniques are used in fabricating the
microcombustion chamber successfully. In conclusion,
decomposition behaviour of tertiary HAN solution in macroscale
was investigated. Current study provides a preliminary screening of
tertiary fuel that is added to HAN solution for its formulation as a
monopropellant. This project is important in order to obtain a more
efficient microcombustion chamber using HAN solution, so that to
be used in micropropulsion system.

ABSTRACT
Rural and nomadic communities make the most detriment to the
country's biological renewable resources system. The government
should by providing living proper conditions such as employment
and living facilities, nomadic have to be sedentary. Settled families
have different costs such as housing, clothing, education and energy.
One of the major costs is housing and energy. Given that renewable
energies requires a high initial investment, the government can for
providing their required energy to use from renewable energy.
Providing energy the communities by new energies for government
economically affordable and because reduce energy costs will be
well encourager for nomadic. The first is the need to invest a lot, but
over time gradually costs will be repaid and society will turn to the
new economic conditions. In this research more attention has been
paid to biogas and solar desalinization to use them in Iran’s rural
communities and move towards ecosystems sustainable
development, which examine cases including, their importance,
potentials in the country, various methods of harvest, the simple idea
of making device, calculate the resulting energy and electricity price,
especially for rural communities and the factors affecting their
production - according to the case study that was conducted in
Semnan province. Also, are discussed the approximate ratio of
carbon to nitrogen in some of fermented materials in biogas
digesters, gas production potential for various animal wastes and
produced waste and a minimum gas from them in the digester. Under
the new plan, I can make the device less expensive. The energy has
many advantages for the fragile environmental including rangeland
and environmental conservation, dynamics economic and social
situation, reduce air, soil and water pollution and reduce the
consumption of fossil fuels.

ABSTRACT
It is expected for desert vegetation to decrease as a result of a decline
in soil fertility following the decrease in the moisture due to the
increase in CO2 levels. But reactions of different plants to increased
CO2 is variable and some species react better than others in
photosynthesis, water use efficiency, stomatal conductivity and other
physiological properties and consequently will dominate the plant
community under changing climate. It may be considered as an
opportunity to establish an intended ecosystem in desert areas.

unique forms resultant from exploratory and accumulative activities
of wind and also sports, historical and scientific charismata. The
present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the geo-
tourism capacities and limitations and also developing the best
strategy to improve the tourism management in the area.
Methodology was comprised of two procedures including library-
based and field studies. In library-based studies, data were collected
referring to libraries and organizations like Iran Statistics Center. In
the case of field studies, data were collected through direct
observations (photographs and films), interviews and questionnaires.
Parallel with that, a number of 10 questionnaires were filled using
Delphi method and analyzed using SWOT model. Finally, the
internal and external factors were evaluated and the relevant
strategies were extracted. The extracted internal and external matrix
showed that WO strategies are more prior to be implemented and the
studied factors were finally prioritized using quantity strategic

ABSTRACT
In this paper, a capacitance monitoring system for electrostatic wind
energy harvesters has been proposed. First, the operation of the
harvester and the harvesting cycle is explained in details. Second, the
capacitance monitoring system is demonstrated. Third the simulation
and experimental testing of the monitoring system is presented. The
capacitance monitoring system requires a microcontroller to sense
the change in capacitance and to provide controlling signals to
operate the harvester during the harvesting cycle. Results of the
testing proved successful operation of the monitoring system in
detecting capacitance variation with time.

ABSTRACT
Glucose alkaline fuel cells catch enormous attention only in the
recent years. Glucose is nontoxic, non-flammable, odorless and
renewable. These properties make glucose an attractive fuel for
various applications, particularly for portable electronic
devices.Platinum is used as electrocatalyst in this system. Many
factors influence on electrocatalytic activity of this electrocatalyst. In
this work, cyclic voltammetry deposition method (-0.2 to 1.2 V
versus Ag/AgCl, 100 mVs-1 scan rate and 30 scan number) was used
for preparation of platinum electrocatalyst. For optimization
electrodeposition condition, the temperature effect was studied. For
doing that the temperature in electrodeposition process was varied
10 to 80oC. Electrochemical methods were used for evaluating
prepared electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation reaction. According
our results, the varying temperature in electrodeposition process by
cyclic voltammetry (CV) affects on performance of prepared
platinum on carbon electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation reaction.
The optimized temperature is 60oC at this procedure. After this
temperature based on CV deposition diagrams, high mobility of
platinum ions, do not give enough time for the initial nucleation in
electrodeposition process. It is discussed more in this paper.

ABSTRACT
Various theories of quantum gravity predict modifications of the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle near the Planck scale, known as the
generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). In this work, we study the
effects of GUP on the equation of motion of a particle. Here, GUP
preserves the rotational symmetry of the space-time. Then,
considering the Kepler potential, we investigate the orbit motion of a
particle and obtain the contribution of the radial component of the
kinetic energy in this model.

ABSTRACT
We provide a theoretical investigation of the hole - polar optical
phonon scattering processes in thin InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum
wells grown in various crystallographic directions, such as [001],
[110] .Using the dielectric continuum model we focus on how the
different scattering processes of holes with interface and confined
phonon modes depend on the initial hole energy. In our work, we use
the Luttinger-Kohn (LK) 6×6 k.p Hamiltonian, along with the
envelope function approximation , from which we compute
numerically the electronic structure of holes for a thin quantum well
sustaining only one bound state for each type of hole thus allowing
for easier analysis of the results by avoiding the cumbersome
presence of the excited subbands that characterizes wider wells. At
finite wave vector, i.e away from the 2D Brillouin zone center, due
to mixing between the heavy, light, and split off bands, hole
subbands exhibit strong nonparabolicity and important warping that
have their word to say on physical properties. Detailed and extensive
calculations that the rates for intra-subband scattering processes
differ significantly from those of bulk GaAs because of quantization
and reduced dimensionality. Moreover, the study of scattering as a
function of hole energy shows that the trend of the scattering rates is
governed mostly by i) overlap integrals and ii) the density of the
final states to which the hole scatters. The influence of warping, in
the hole energy dispersion, on the phonon scattering rates is also
explored and found to be important when the initial hole energy is
high. Our calculations show evidence of strong anisotropy in the
scattering rates especially for processes involving the heavy hole
subband, which anisotropy is in fact quite important and far from
being negligible

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to find the extent of Special
Needs Students’ (SNS) awareness of disability provision in an
institution because this lack of awareness is affecting their education
drastically. Consequently, leading to frustration, demotivation and
trauma. An empirical study was carried out in a private higher
institution of Malaysia, by identifying ten SNS to be observed and
subsequently they were interviewed. For reliability and validity of
the data the literature review, observation, interviews and content
analysis were carried out to develop a framework to find the extent
of the disability provision in an institution. This framework is
prelude to a comprehensive one in future for the use of variety of
stakeholders including heads of tertiary institutions, NGOs involved
in tertiary education, disability teachers and students with
disabilities.

ABSTRACT
The sub-standard TESOL provision in Pakistan prompted the
researcher to benchmark and gather TESOL good practice in U.K.
The empirical research was carried out in four good primary schools
in Birmingham, U.K. where children from ethnic minorities made up
the majority. This paper explains how benchmarks of UK classroom
management were generated. The interaction of reconnaissance
fieldwork and literature led to the development of an initial TESOL
Benchmark framework through benchmarking research process. To
validate the framework triangulation approach including literature
review, observation (Thick Description), discussions, interviews, and
document analysis were carried out. Finally, administration of the
final framework was conducted in the same four schools where
initial fieldwork was carried out to identify generic benchmarks. An
excerpt has been provided to show the sample of part product. The
generic benchmarks are being utilised in reception, primary and
tertiary classes. This benchmark framework is very useful for
TESOL teachers, teacher trainers, curriculum designers, primary
teachers and other relevant stakeholders.

a shared language is considered one of the mediums to foster the
spirit of nationalism. In the nation building context, this paper
explores role of Malaysia’s education system specifically in its
oscillation between the use of the Malay and English language in the
teachings of Mathematics and Science. A qualitative research
engaged a total of 40 respondents (face to face interviewed) to
examine the relationship between the implementation of education
policy which involves the teaching of Mathematics and Science in
English or Malay to the spirit of nationalism. The focus remained on
the public perception and the manner in which they perceive nation
building. Some of the main findings showed that the students have
mixed feeling about teaching of mathematics and science in English.
There is dire need for more teachers, teacher training,
comprehensive EAP policy and taking students consent. Finally,
teaching of mathematics and science in English does not seem to
affect nation building. The study is useful for education policy
makers, curriculum developers, teachers, head teachers and many
other related stakeholders.

ABSTRACT
Many children with disabilities are integrated into regular schools.
Their parents normally prefer this. Furthermore, mainstreaming
when possible is encouraged under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act. However, some children’s disabilities are severe that
they do not thrive in a regular school setting. The purpose of this
paper is to explore parental care of disabled children. For this reason
qualitative method of face to face interviews and observation were
carried out. Some of the main findings include parents’ lukewarm
behavior towards these children, lack of interest to learn sign
language and forcing children to become homesick. However, the
children were found busy in their routine school activities, interested
and becoming independent. The findings are very useful to improve
special school curriculum and to train the parents to become more

The University of Science and Technology of ORAN, ALGERIA
ABSTRACT
The original function of the process of platforming is to develop
heavy naphtha (HSRN), coming from the atmospheric unit of
distillation with a weak octane number (NO = 44), to obtain a
mixture of fuels â number octane raised by catalytically supporting
specific groups of chemical reactions. The installation is divided into
two sections:
The rafinat coming from the bottom of column 12C2 to feed the
section platforming, is divided into two parts whose flows are
controlled and mixed with gas rich in hydrogen.
Bottom of the column, we obtain stabilized reformat which is
aspired by there pump to ensure the heating of the column whereas a
part is sent towards storage after being cooled by the air cooler and
the condenser.
In catalytic catalyst of reforming, there is voluntarily associated a
hydrogenating function - dehydrogenating, brought by platinum
deposited, with an acid function brought by the alumina support (Al
2 0 3 . The mechanism of action of this bifunctionnal catalyst
depends on the severity of the operation, of the quality of the load
and the type of catalyst.
The catalyst used in the catalytic process of reforming is a very
elaborate bifunctional catalyst whose performances are constantly
improved thanks to the experimental research supported on an
increasingly large comprehension of the phenomena.
The American company Universel 0i1 petroleum (UOP) marketed
several series of bimetallic catalysts such as R16, R20, R30 and R62
consisted Platinum / Rhenium on an acid support consisted the
alumina added with a halogenous compound (chlorine) .

ABSTRACT
We usually experience queuing on roads. Queuing commonly occurs
at intersections, roundabouts or traffic lights. The aim of this project
is to study the characteristics of dynamic flow of cars at a given
junction. The limitation of this project is that it only considers Y-
junction with all vehicles flowing in one direction without any traffic
light interruption. The project is only limited to dual input lanes with
a single lane output. The model of this project is derived based on
the M/M/1 model. It has been found that when the rate of arriving
vehicle in each individual lane increases, it will directly affect the
queuing on the junction hence resulting in traffic congestion.
