This study examines the smart mosque as a concept, developed through innovations in materials and technologies adopted to provide thermal comfort conditions and energy- efficient environments, in order to promote a sustainable mosque. The paper first provides a theoretical underpinning of the smart solutions applied in historical mosques with a [...]

The reliability study is one of the major factor study to design, operation and maintenance of power system. Therefore, the reliability indices are important to be calculated. Based on the target of the study, the index required is calculated. Therefore, in the present study, the Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) [...]

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an assortment of wireless nodes that creates a temporal network between mobile nodes with no centralized administrator. The performance of MANET can be assessed by virtue of implementation of routing protocols. Continuous movement of mobile nodes in MANET results in frequent topology changes causing [...]

This paper presents a novel computer vision technique of intelligent recognition of safety in construction sites. The proposed technique relies on a new methodology for Neuro-Fuzzy Singular Value Decomposition (NFSVD). This methodology utilized unmanned safety worker’s wears. Where within a construction site entranced a multi-camera is used and fixed on [...]

This review discusses different techniques for green synthesis of magnetic spinel nanoparticles (magnetite, cobalt ferrite, nickel ferrite, cupper ferrite, and their composites). The green methods lead to the formation of nanoparticles with less toxicity, high sustainability, and improved physicochemical properties. The aim of green chemistry is to involve the nontoxic [...]

Smart City is an emergent strategy and solution for the urbanization problems and the investments in its worldwide market are rapidly. However, the Smart City maturity models are discussed in very few scientific research papers and it is uncertain whether the existing maturity models can fulfil their proposed objectives. Also, [...]

Copper-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots embedded in silica films (ZnS:Cu/SiO2) have been synthesized by sol-gel dip-coating with subsequent thermal annealing. The considered Cu/Zn molar ratios ranged from 0.2% to 2%. Atomic force microscopy analysis shows mostly a granular nanostructure of the deposited films with a roughness less than 30 nm [...]

Due to their magnificent efficiency to the degradation of hazardous organic pollutants, nanomaterials possessing visible light-driven photocatalytic activity have drawn considerable attention. Herein, Ag decorated Zn 0.95 Cu 0.05 O photocomposites have been synthesized via a sol–gel method and characterized as potential photocatalysts for the degradation of malachite green (MG). [...]

Oxide spinels (OSs) have been identified as perspective functional materials in various fields of applications including water treatment, degradation of dyes, hyperthermia, and drug delivery and as antibacterial agent. In recent years, extensive researches are devoted to the synthesis and properties of spinel nanooxide systems to fulfill the essential requirement [...]

The paper starts with a question about the industrial revolution: is there a new model of the industrial revolution in front of us? If yes, what is the effect on architecture and architectural design. New construction methods, associated with new building materials, have been innovated and used in the architecture [...]
