Effective and efficient management of suppliers within a supply chain is an essential requirement for improving organisational performance within construction companies. However, factors inherent within the supply chain ...

Interest in branchwood utilization is gradually increasing on account of increasing demand for wood for construction and furniture production. However, wood quality assessment involves consideration of physical, mechanical ...

This paper examines the current electrical generation expansion plan of Ghana and compares it with proposed expansion pathways with higher penetration of Renewable Energy Technologies. An adaptation of Schwartz's Scenario ...

This study applied the Open Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS), an optimisation model for long term energy planning, which is integrated in Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) to develop optimal generation ...

This paper investigates the charging time constant reduction of supercapacitors with regard to some identified key parameters. These parameters involved are consistent with the Equivalent Series Resistances and the Double ...

Obtaining accurate and reliable information on biomass characteristics of tree species is important as it aids in selecting plant species that optimize fuel production for bioenergy. In this study, the net calorific value ...

The work gives a report about the design of an energy saving system using a Passive Infrared Radio sensor to switch 'off fan and light circuits in the classroom in the absence of students. When a student enters the classroom, ...

Background: Studies have shown a great potential for the use of Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs) as a sustainable building material due to its economic, environmental and social benefits. Objective: This study investigates ...

Studies on sustainable construction materials are on the rise with their environmental, social, and economic benefits. This study identifies the key indicators for measuring sustainable construction materials. The design ...

The heat and mass transmission effects of non-Newtonian electrically conducting nanofluid flows, considering (third grad fluid) between two parallel plates with rotating system has been analyzed. The problem is demonstrated ...
