Institutional Element in Malaysia Housing Industry

Institutional economic theory stresses the influence of human behavior and regulations in economic environment. Human behavior including interaction with other parties or agent, regulation and policy created by government will put the economy in its own situation. Therefore, this theory is able to describe the economic environment in a broaden aspect and not only see it as the system that will operate independently base on demand and supply. 

Institutional theory is commonly applied in land development process but rarely address in housing industry. Therefore, this paper attempted to address housing industry base on institutional theory perspective. Several institutional elements are indicate in Malaysia housing industry base on work by Omar 2001 and the setting of these element is stress in Malaysia housing industry. There are three element of institution such as formal and informal rule technology and interaction between agents in housing industry that influence the behavior of developer in housing industry.

Experimental Analysis on Strength Properties of Glass Fiber Concrete

The current world is witnessing the construction of challenging and innovative civil engineering structures. It has been established that when fibers are added in certain percentage to the concrete improves the strength properties as well as crack resistance and ductility. Fibers impart energy absorption, toughness and impact resistance properties to fiber reinforced concrete material and these characteristics in turn improve the strength properties. In the present experimental investigation the alkali resistant glass fiber of diameter 14 micron, length 24mm, having an aspect ratio of 855 was employed in percentage varying from 0, 10 , 20 , 30 , 50 , 60 and 80 to study the effect on compressive, split tensile and flexural strength on M40 grade concrete. At early age strength, the concrete with more than 20 of glass fiber gain strength around 61 until 82 faster than normal concrete. This implies that glass fibers assist in increasing the Compressive strength of concrete. The higher the glass fiber, in the mix the compressive strength also increases.

Remote Sensing and Unmanned Aerial Device for Early Forest Fire Detection

2016 was a record breaking year in terms of forest fire incidents in South East Asia. The fires were devastating as it caused a lot of damages. In fact, all over the world, 2016 has been an unusual year because it has extended the fire season everywhere, including South East Asia. Causes of fire ranged from natural disasters, the El Nino phenomenon, to man made fires like slash and burn farming and arson. There is a need to know what is really the most common causes of forest fires in South East Asia. This information would help in designing early, real time and fast detection and response to fires that would break up in forests and bushes so that early fire eradication can be done. The scalable characteristic of fires makes it essential that forest fires have to be detected early to stop it from expanding. The information is also important in order to develop a prototype of a system which will be based on the characteristics and vulnerability of forests in South East Asia. A thorough study of the causes of forest and bush fires and its mechanisms of occurrence and expansion will be done and will be the information needed to design and implement a prototype to detect fires early. The prototype will be utilizing a combination of remote sensing and unmanned aerial device i.e. drones that would immediately send information that would facilitate immediate action to eradicate the fire.

Web Based Tool for Managing Paddy Irrigation Water User Group

In many countries, the Internet has become an element in people’s daily life, offering new possibilities for information access and sharing. In this new technological and information age, water is becoming a source of conflict between domestic, industrial and agricultural use. Web Based Tool is a platform allowing for a public participation in helping decision making processes during conflicting situations, especially in cases involving many stakeholders. A 3 – tier architecture framework was carefully studied and was implemented to create the Web based model. This model is an Internet Based Model that is created to benefit the users in the water management sectors in order to make timely decisions to develop the water user group’s inline with the tertiary canal. This system has been successfully developed to estimate the water productivity index and pH of soil on a micro scale based on the tertiary canal water user groups with the plot numbers alongside to allocate water without wastage. This system has the ability to provide access to those users with password who has the technical capabilities to connect to the Internet, hence bridging the digital divide between rural and urban communities.

Experimental Investigation of Different Characterisitcs of PVC and XLPE Cables

Diagnostic methods for two major cables, PVC and XLPE cables are presented. As a new diagnostic method for the PVC cable insulation, an analysis of the insulation oil sampled from the splices or the end sealing box is proposed. As for diagnostic methods for the XLPE cable insulation, several methods are described to detect water tree deterioration, which is the only major problem with XLPE cables. These methods are classified into off-line and live-line tests. Especially, newly proposed diagnostic methods are discussed, which can be applied to live line XLPE cables. 

These are a measuring method of dc current component in ac charging current of cables containing water trees, a method to measure insulation resistance, and a method of detecting electrical tree deterioration in XLPE cable.
