To increase the overall plant efficiency, the Combined cycle power plant (CCPP), which is a combination of the Gas turbine (Brayton cycle) and steam turbine (Rankine cycle), is a highly efficient system for electricity generation. In this paper, optimization and performance simulation analysis of Subiyah Combined Thermal Power Plant using real oper

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next-generation wireless networking. However, several challenging research issues need to be resolved. One of the most effective factors to be improved is the routing protocol used to be robust, scalable, secured and efficient. This paper aims to design and implement a routing proto

The aim of this paper is to investigate the corrosion behaviour of aluminium-copper-SiCp composite materials under palm oil biodiesel (POB). Corrosion behaviour test was performed using both weight loss and polarization methods for two different types of aluminium-copper-SiCp composite materials such as ACM 1(2% Cu, 20% SiC, and 78% Al) and ACM 2 (

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of simulated pulpal pressure (PP) on initial bond strength of one-stsep self-etch adhesives with different smear layer preparation. Methods: Flat coronal dentin surfaces were obtained from extracted molar teeth .Smear layers were created by grinding with either #180 or #600 grit paper. A HEMA-free one-step self-et

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process which is enable to machine extremely hard materials and complex shapes can be produced with high precision. Therefore, EDM is a potential and attractive technology for the machining of (known as alternative ceramic machining process)with high precision and surface integrity. However, the m

Terrorism has continuously become a global security issue as it has resulted in the loss of innocent lives and has heavy global financial impacts. International terrorism is an ongoing global risk that threatens Malaysia as it will lead to chaos and jeopardize national security. This paper explores the implementation of the Counter Violent Extremis

Although Omani law contains provisions on amicable settlement of disputes, it has clearly neglected offences committed by juveniles. There is only one law that applies to both adults and juveniles. Nevertheless, the latter should be given more attention and care to spare juveniles from the complexity of trials that may have a bad impact on them. Th

A number of legal provisions have always regulated the built environment industry. The professionals in built industry on the other hand are regulated by their respective professional bodies. Precautions and regulations are also introduced to ensure safety in the industry. The recent mishaps, especially landslides and flash flood, have impacted adv

The aim of this paper is to apply material selection methods for selecting the most appropriate material for piston application. Initial candidate materials such as, grey cast iron, Ti and Al alloys, 20% SiC reinforced Al and Al-Cu alloy matrix composites and WC-TiC reinforced Ti matrix composite were analysed based on their performance requirement

Internal control system is an important pillar in an organisation. Considering the evidence from major accounting fraud cases that occurred consequence to weak internal control, such as Enron, it could also occur in a financial institution. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate the bank managers’ opinion on the likelihood of securi
