This paper reports on a case study that involved an integrated design process of a large commercial development. In particular, it utilized simulation and visualization to inform strategic design decisions that could reduce heat gain while admitting usable daylight. Additionally, the design intended to avoid extensive air conditioning energy of a l

Subscriber satisfaction of a broadband service is determined by several factors such as contents delivery strategy, service infrastructure and channel packaging delivered. Currently the single-operator, single-infrastructure broadband model in Malaysia delivered by service providers such as TM UniFi cannot address the relevant and personalized cont

It is known that temperature variations inside a battery may greatly affect its performance, life, and reliability. In an effort to gain a better understanding of the heat generation in Lithium ion batteries, a simple heat generation models were constructed in order to predict the thermal behaviour of a battery pack. The Lithium ion battery present

This work aims at providing an outline of engineering applications for electroosmosis, especially for sludge dewatering. A review of the theoretical analysis of electroosmotic dewatering is presented. The equations representing electroosmotic flow through porous media are initially discussed. Consolidation theory, which describes the progress of de

Background: Pharmaceutical representatives provide medicines information on their promoted products to doctors. However, studies have shown that the quality of this information is often low. No study has assessed the medicines information provided by pharmaceutical representatives to doctors in Malaysia and no recent evidence in Australia is presen
