A study of organic loading rate (OLR) and effect of NaOH concentration on the pretreatment stage of corn husk (CH) was conducted by Face-Centered Central Composite Design (CCF) to improve the biogas production. Three levels of OLR at 25.0 g VS · L–1 · d–1 (OLR25), 35.0 g VS · L–1 · d–1 (OLR35), and 45.0 g VS · L–1 · d–1 (OLR45) we

Internet of Things (IoT) is understood to bring along major research challenges due to the introduction of machine to machine (M2M) applications with no or minimal human supervision. A lot of challenges exist in the scope of resource management due to the high heterogeneity, high complexity and the existence of computational resources at various la

This research addresses the issue of how the provision of open space can be considered as an influential element in the house price. Literatures globally suggest that there is a significant value of open space in relation to house price in which the elements reflect more on the management parts such as the aspect of cleanliness and good maintenance

Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a major role in extending the reach of the existing communication systems to include resource constrained devices.

This is a challenge due to the high heterogeneity, high complexity of

The concern for the natural and built environment has become crucial in relation to the concept of sustainable development. Literatures show that the ecological design (ED) concept has produced positive results in supporting the achievement of sustainable development, though it faces many challenges amongst public and other stakeholders of its impo

In this paper, the state feedback control design problem for stabilizing a two-wheeled wheelchair in balancing mode is considered. The system is modeled as double-inverted pendulum on two wheels. The calculation of state feedback control gains is conventionally handled by LQR method via Riccati equation. Unfortunately, the method still possesses tr

According to the present conventional concept, mosque is only a place for the Muslims to offer prayer but in reality it should serve as a complex socio-cultural institution within the Muslim communities around the world.
