SRI is a composed measure that accounts for surface's solar reflectance and emittance. It is measured on a unitless scale from 0 to 1. Residential buildings in Malaysia are experiencing overheating of roof space due to inappropriate selection of roofing systems and materials. This badly affects the indoor thermal comfort of low rise buildings where roof represents 70% of heat gain. Emissions from building sectors are about 8.6Gt of CO2 per year. The thermal performance of a building is affected by the solar absorbance of roof. During a clear sky conditions up to 1kW/m2 of radiation can be incidental on a roof surface and between 20% and 90% of this radiation is typically absorbed. This study emphasizes on observation and documentation of main parameters which influence SRI of roof tiles i.e. (1) Roof color, (2) material composition, and (3) the degree of roof slope. The research methodology consists of (1) construction of one unit experimental house to study the effects of SRI of roof on indoor thermal comfort, and (2) semi-structured questionnaire survey conducted to determine the roof colors on existing buildings in Malaysia. Home buyer's roof color preference was also determined. The research outcomes will have important implication for application of cool roofs and sustainable development in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":6411,"journal":{"name":"2011 National Postgraduate Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88086936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Census transform provides high resistance to radiometric distortion, vignette, and noise because it are based on the relative ordering of local pixel intensity values rather than the pixel values themselves. This transform is widely used in many computer vision applications. A simplification technique such as using small-color census is used to determine the initial matching cost. The color distances are transformed using small census transform to keep the information of the color. To derive support weights, Manhattan distances are used for all pixels of the support window to the window's center point. Property of adaptive support weight leads to improved segmentation results and consequently to improved disparity maps. This work is still on process, to test the algorithm; it will use the Middlebury benchmark. According to analysis of each step of the algorithms, the proposed SCCADSW can achieve good performance among stereo methods that rely on local optimization.","PeriodicalId":6411,"journal":{"name":"2011 National Postgraduate Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78244436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SCGC is an improved way of concreting execution that does not require compaction and is made by complete elimination of ordinary portland cement content. The parameters investigated were superplasticizer (SP) dosage and curing temperature. SCGC were synthesized from low calcium fly ash, activated by combinations of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions, and by incorporation of superplasticizer for self compactability. The SP dosages were 3%, 4%, 5%, 6% and 7% and the different curing temperatures were 60°C, 70°C, 80°C and 90°C. The effects of SP dosage on workability properties such as filling ability, passing ability and resistance to segregation were evaluated. The fresh properties were measured using slump flow, T-50 V-funnel, L-Box and J-ring test methods. The essential workability requirements for self compactability according to European Federation of National Associations Representing Producers and Applicators of Specialist Building Products for Concrete (EFNARC) were satisfied. Results showed that the workability and compressive strength improved with the increase in Super plasticizer dosage. An increase in strength was observed with the increase in curing temperature up to 70°C. However, the strength decreased when the curing temperature increased beyond 70°C. The compressive strength of 51.52MPa was obtained for SCGC with SP dosage of 6% and cured at 70°C oven temperature.","PeriodicalId":6411,"journal":{"name":"2011 National Postgraduate Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84924219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strategy emanated from the UK in 1992 and has spread across the entire globe though in varying degrees. Developing countries are still trying to find their feet under this procurement strategy, the reasons for this lethargy stems from a number of factors which though within the purview of these countries but has continued to elude them. Public private partnerships adoption is meant to curb sovereign debt burden, increase Value for Money (VFM) of constructed assets, manage the risks of time and cost overruns, improve the quality of the final product, improve efficiency of public services, assist in public sector reforms under the New Public Management (NPM), reduce project life-cycle costs, promote local economic growth, strengthen national infrastructure, hasten development and create a private sector-led economy.
