Fire outbreaks are global hazard with a potential to cause injuries, loss of life and damage to properties. To mitigate against these fires, fire safety of the building should be considered during the design and construction ...

Dye-sensitive solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted interest as a suitable candidate for photovoltaic (PV) technology to plug the widening global energy demand and supply gap. Their full potential scalability has been hindered ...

Traditional audience measurement systems are increasingly inadequate in capturing fragmented, cross-platform television viewership, especially as unstructured social media data becomes central to understanding audience ...

The rising global energy demand and environmental challenges calls for the adoption of sustainable and cost-effective renewable energy (RE) solutions. Despite the predominant focus on RE for electricity production, heat ...

Radiation occurs naturally in the environment, with its levels largely influenced by the presence of naturally occurring radionuclides. Open-cast mining operations can expose these radionuclides, previously confined deep ...

Human-associated bacteria live on the skin and are harmless or have a symbiotic relationship with the host. Since the skin surface has limited nutrients for the survival of these bacteria, there is competition which results ...

The problem of microbial drug resistance is on the rise, and many antibiotics used to treat microbial pathogens are not working well due to the emergence of resistance. New novel sources of drugs capable of tackling cases ...

Software maintenance remains a resource-intensive activity, accounting for 60-70% of total software development costs, with object-oriented (OO) systems presenting unique challenges in maintainability assessment. Despite ...

The expansion of highways occasioned by increase in traffic has led to the rise in electricity consumption for street lighting. To offset the increasing energy demand, induced wind speed along highways can be harnessed to ...

Exponential growth in population, demand for fossil fuels, and tricycles in transport sector calls for research in alternative sustainable transport fuel with less environmental pollution. Diesel engines are widely used ...
