A Comparative Study On The Energy Policies In Japan And Malaysia In Fulfilling Their Nations Obligations Towards The Kyoto Protocol

Global warming and the associated changes in the world climate pattern have been accepted world wide as the gravest threat to humanity in the 20th century. To mitigate the impacts of global warming, the Kyoto Protocol was established in 1997 with the objective of reducing global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, in particular carbon dioxide (C02), by 5.2% below 1990 levels. Developed nations that ratified the Protocol are committed to GHG reduction targets while developing nations are encouraged to reduce GHG emissions on a voluntary basis

Smart indoor home surveillance monitoring system using raspberry pi

Internet of Things (IoTs) are internet computing devices which are connected to everyday objects that can receive and transmit data intelligently. IoTs allow human to interact and control everyday objects wirelessly to provide more convenience in their lifestyle. The Raspberry Pi is a small, lightweight and cheap single board computer that can fit on human’s palm. Security plays a big role in a home. People concern about security by preventing any intruders to enter their home. This is to prevent loss of privacy and assets. The closed-circuit television (CCTV) is one of the device used to monitor the secured area for any intruders. The use of traditional CCTV to monitor the secured area have three limitations, which are requiring a huge volume of storage to store all the videos regardless there are intruders or not, does not notify the users immediately when there are motions detected, and users must always check the CCTV recorded videos regularly to identity any intruders. Therefore, a smart surveillance monitoring system is proposed to solve this problem by detecting intruders and capturing image of the intruder. Notifications will also be sent to the user immediately when motions are detected. This smart surveillance monitoring system only store the images of the intruders that triggered the motion sensor, making this system uses significantly less storage space. The proposed Raspberry Pi is connected with a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor, a webcam and internet connection, the whole device can be configured to carry out the surveillance tasks. The objectives of this project are to design, implement and test the surveillance system using the Raspberry Pi. This proposed surveillance system provides the user with live stream of video feed for the user. Whenever a motion is detected by the PIR motion sensor, the web camera may capture an image of the intruder and alert the users (owners) through Short Message Service (SMS) and email notifications. The methodology used to develop this system is by using the object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) model

Energy Policy For Sustainable Development In Malaysia.

Energy is crucial to all aspects of development from powering manufacturing and modernization of agricultural sectors to providing electricity to run schools and health facilities, yet the impact of its production, distribution and use grows more severe with every decade

Palm Oil As Feed Stocks For Biodiesel Production Via Heterogeneous Transesterification: Optimization Study.

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) prepared by transesterification process using heterogeneous catalyst has receive a lot of interest lately as a sustainable and reliable source of bio fuel. Apart from that, palm oil, being the worlds’ cheapest edible oil has the economical potential to become the source of FAME

Preparation And Characterization Of Absorbent Prepared From Coal Fly Ash For Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Removal.

Active absorbent for flue gas desulfurization was prepared from coal fly ash, calcium oxide and calcium sulfate by steam hydration. The absorbent was examined for its macro and micro-structural properties

Development of Novel Catalyst for the production of sio-Diesel from crude palm oil.

Production of biodiesel has become popular nowadays as a result of increasing demand for a clean, safe and renewable energy. Biodiesel is made from natural renewable sources such as vegetable oils and animal fats

Studies of Cobalt and Iron Oxides/Oxyhydroxides Nanostructures for Electrochemical Applications

Ph.DDOCTOR OF PHILOSOPH

Study Of Rice Husk Ash (RHA)-Based Sorbents For Simultaneous Removal Of Sulfur Dioxide (S02) And Nitrogen Oxides (Nox) From Flue Gas.

Adsorbents for dry-type flue gas desulfurization (FGD) were prepared from rice husk ash (RHA), calcium oxide and NaOH as additive by water hydration method. Two types of RHA were used in the experiment, one was obtained directly from the mill (black colored), and the other was obtained after pre-treatment of the black colored RHA with temperature at 600°C

Oil Palm Biomass As A Sustainable Energy Source: A Malaysian Case Study.

The latest scientific data confirmed that the earth's climate is rapidly changing. Therefore, it has been widely accepted worldwide that global warming is by far the greatest threat and challenge in the new millennium. The main factor that causes global warming is the release of greenhouse gases to the environment
