“The premise of nanotechnology is that if nature is capable of doing it, so can we.” The above quote by Benjamin Melki sums up what the researchers are hoping for from nanotechnology and what we plan to do with it. But the most simplistic way to define it would be- …

Harvesting kinetic energies is a sustainable method for generating electricity without depleting natural resources. Few popular energy sources, such as solar, hydropower, nuclear power, fossil fuels, etc., are expensive in extracting electricity. They contribute to environmental pollution. We need a source to generate electrical energy economically, which should not impact…

Supervisory control and data acquisition are referred to as SCADA. It is a system of hardware and software components that allows industrial companies to receive, analyze, and interpret real-time data and control industrial operations locally or remotely. The SCADA system also records and logs all events for reporting process status…

What is BIM? Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. …

Corruption in the Construction industry As far as corruption goes, one of the world’s most crooked industries is the construction sector. Extortion, bribery, influence peddling, networking and fraud in construction projects are some malpractices that damage both developing and wealthy nations. …

Each time you flush the toilet or wash something down the sink’s drain, you create sewage (also known in polite society as wastewater). One question which can arise is, “Why not simply dump this sewage in some nearby place/stream?” But there are three main reasons why this is avoided: - …

Mivan technology was developed by a European construction company called Mivan Company Ltd. in 1990. This technology includes constructing an aluminum (alloy) formwork, a system for forming cast-in-place concrete structures of buildings. …

INTRODUCTION A user-friendly method is created to generate and visualize urban form. Typically, conventional urban design processes do not have instruments to imagine urban form in real-time during the decision-making stage. Virtual environment design instruments offer a realm to generate, visualize and analyze the urban condition. The research hypothesizes that…
