Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Solar Radiation in High Energy Intensive of the World by PV SystemU. Ali RahomaSolar energy can be converted directly into electricity by means of solar cells. Solar cells currently cost around $3.50 per watt for crystalline cells and $2 per watt for thin-film wafers, which are less efficient but can be integrated into building materials. Industry analysts note that between 2000 and 2005, each doubling of cumulative production resulted in a price drop … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplification of Sun Tracking Mode to Gain High Concentration Solar EnergyOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanPower conversion from solar thermal energy to electrical energy is still very cost-intensive. Serious effort has to be given in the development of the concentrator or heliostat structure expenditure which contributing the most expensive component in a central receiver solar power plant. With current development to find alternatives and lower down the capital, a new mode of sun tracking has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTreatment of Wastewater by Natural Lagoon for its Reuse in IrrigationM. Driche, D. Abdessemed, G. NezzalThe process of natural lagoon consists in purifying the waste water by simple flow of the effluent in not very deep ponds where proliferate bacteria, algae and other living organisms, under a surrounding air and in the presence of a solar radiation. For this study, which is spread out over 3 years (2004-2006) and which still continues, we chose the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
