SPATIOTEMPORAL LAND USE AND LAND COVER CHANGE IN MAJOR RIVER BASINS IN COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT AREA
Authors: Wan Ibrahim Wan Yusryzal , Muhamad Ludin Ahmad Nazri
Published: November 2021

Urbanization has significantly transformed spatial configuration of landscape structure which is triggered by population growth and governmentâ€™s development policy. As a consequence, the changes disturbed the quality of natural environment and ecosystem. Historical experience and prediction of future land use and land cover change is important to understand the spatial characteristics and environmental consequences of development area. Evaluating the spatiotemporal in urban development is essential as an important component improving adaptive management in landscape planning. Thus, the objective of this paper is to discuss the spatiotemporal land use and land cover change in major river basins (Sungai Tebrau, Sungai Skudai, Sungai Pulai and Coastal Zone) in the rapid development region of Iskandar Malaysia. The past experience indicates rapid growth of population and substantial urban development changed the spatial structure of the region and there is tremendous transformation of land use and land cover in the present due to high demand for development. Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and CA-markov chain model were used to analyze the relationship of variables and formulate the future spatial changes. Then landscape index is used to analyze the spatial characteristics of the changes. Remote sensing data and GIS were used to conduct the analysis for the study. Temporal satellite images between 2002 and 2013 were utilized as input data for the past changes and basis for future land use and land cover change projection (2020, 2025 and 2025). The result indicates different character of urban landscape changes in different periods and river basins. Past experience shows the significant change of agricultural and natural land converted into artificial land use especially in Skudai and Tebrau river basins. In addition, there was conversion of water body for development in the past especially along the river banks and coastal area in Johor Bahru city center. This trend will constantly restructure the existing landscape as projection shows the significant impact of future development. This situation could contribute to other possible issues such as microclimate change and increase run-off water, pollution and degradation of ecological values and services. This study provides a platform for decision-makers to interpret the situation of landscape structure change in relation with environmental consequence in the study area. Future development plan should thoroughly consider the character of future spatial development and anticipate the possible effect on the environment in the region.

Authors: Mirzan Hamed , Bahreini Azin , Moeinaddini Mehdi , Asadi-Shekari Zohreh , Shah Muhammad Zaly , Sultan Zahid
Published: November 2021

Although, happiness has been evaluated by many researchers, there are very limited studies on happy environment, specifically happy cities. In addition, different methods that have been introduced for measuring happiness by previous studies have several major shortcomings. Firstly, happiness is considered equivalent to satisfaction or the quality of life. Secondly, the majority of these methods are not easy to follow and it is difficult to connect them to design process. Furthermore, these methods support only a limited number of indicators and majority of them are not related to the happy environment. Thus, this paper reviews prominent studies on happiness evaluations and happy environment to identify effective indicators for happy cities. It also attempts to highlight current happiness evaluation methods that consider happy environment to determine how various studies assess cities for happiness. The weaknesses and strengths of different evaluation methods are discussed in this paper to propose a better way to assess happy cities. A systematic review is used to identify indicators for happy cities. Overall, socio-economic factors, environmental factors (e.g., air pollution and temperature), geographical location and facilities management are effective variables for happy cities. This study discusses the challenges in happiness evaluation and attempts to introduce new objectives for futures studies. The results of this study can be used to propose strategies to have happier cities.
IMPLICATIONS OF SPRAWLED AND COMPACT DEVELOPMENT ON MOBILITY PATTERNS: A CASE-STUDY OF BHOPAL, INDIA
Authors: Saxena Neha , Bara Chidam
Published: November 2021

Cities across the world are witness to increasing phenomenon of urban sprawl. The paper contends that sprawl affects mobility in terms of increased dependence on private motor vehicle which is high in energy use and carbon emissions. The study is based on primary investigation of three neighbourhoods in Bhopal city (India), the first two lying within the city in varying contexts and the third outside the present city limits which can be classified as a sprawl. The analysis throws significant light on the changes in mobility pattern in areas with more compact development vis-Ã -vis those that have sprawled with relatively lower densities. It shows that densely populated areas having mixed use has higher share of walk trips and that the average trip length is higher in lower density areas in sprawls. The study further examines the role of land use planning, zoning regulations and urban form in encouraging sustainable mobility.

Authors: Chong Kai Zhen , Bahauddin Azizi
Published: November 2021

Feng shui is one of the most outstanding subjects and popular life principles in the world and is also one of the oldest traditional Chinese philosophies. Feng shui is seen as wisdom that has been accumulating for more than three thousand years of history and experience in architectural theory. The application of feng shui is not only a unique knowledge but is also a complex way to comprehend natural phenomena. The aim of feng shui in architecture is to enhance the quality of life for humans, building, and nature. It is related to the built environment theory. Feng shui had indeed been incorporated into the construction of Chinese mansions in Peninsula Malaysia despite having only a few people who are aware of them. Since feng shui is a complex subject, this paper focuses on one of the feng shui principles: the Five Elements. The Five Elements and their respective shapes are Water, wavy-shaped; Wood, angular-shaped; Fire, triangle; Earth, square; and Metal, circle. These elements are discussed in their association with the case study of Low Ti Kok Mansion. The Low Ti Kok Mansion, which islocated in Kajang, Selangor, has no recorded documentation on feng shui as opposed to the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang, which is known for being influenced by feng shui. In this paper, the researcher attempts to investigate and document the case study based on feng shui influences. The objectives of this paper are twofold and they are (1) to understand the feng shui and (2) to examine the Five Elements concept on the Low Ti Kok Mansion. The research approach in this paper is qualitative in nature. Document reviewing and observation have been employed and interpreted in this paper to analyse the case study, which is based on the Five Elements concept. It is found that the Five Elements shapes areclearly shown on the floor plan of Low Ti Kok Mansion.

Published: November 2021

The Malaysian property market has been facing significant changes in terms of housing price since a decade ago and these changes are different between states. The changes in housing prices are being supported by the economic theories of demand and supply as well as the regional economic and demographic factors such as income level, housing supply stock, speculative buying and population changes. This paper provides an overview of the affordable housing policy and elaborates on the housing affordability index for the districts in the State of Johor. Using datasets for year 2012 and 2014 in order to determine the median multiple of price-income ratio, this paper found that housing in all the districts were generally unaffordable. Some districts recorded HAI of severely unaffordable, while others in the seriously and moderately unaffordable index categories.

Authors: Abdullah Yusfida Ayu , Kuek Julieven Nonoi , Hamdan Hazlina , Mohd Zulkifli Farrah Lyana
Published: November 2021

The year 2014 had witnessed the scenario where most of the states in Malaysia pledged to declare themselves as Zero Squatter state. Thus far, most of the states in Malaysia are still striving to achieve the goal. The government has therefore aspires to reach the target by the year 2020. The Malaysian government under its 5-years National Plan has since introduced the low, medium and high cost housing categories. The housing policy was therefore designed to provide the public of all income levels, particularly the low-income groups, with affordable housing as part of an effort to eradicate squatters. However, despite the various policies, the number of squatter families remains large, especially in the urban areas. This paper therefore, intends to examine the instruments put forward by the government to eliminate squatters and assess the roles of related parties assigned to achieve the governmentâ€™s mission. Through a qualitative approach, results demonstrated that Malaysia has various types of polices and guidance at both the federal and state levels in relation to low-cost housing provision. These would have supposed to help reduce the number of squatters in the country. However, to date, Malaysia is still experiencing problems with squatters. This calls for further investigation.

USM PUSHING THE FRONTIERS OF TOWN PLANNING
Authors: Lik Meng Lee
Published: November 2021

The USM Campus in Penang is arguably one of the most beautiful in Malaysia set amidst undulating terrain with a rich treasure trove of exotic flora and fauna and panoramic views. But this former Military Camp has been subjected to 30 years of unrelenting development threatening its unique assets. Efforts are being made to protect those treasures in line with the aspirations of Agenda 21 but rather than following the conventional path, the USM Campus Planning Project has attempted to chart new frontiers in the use of JCT for planning and realigning the philosophy towards sustainable development. Amongst the innovations introduced are "publish as we plan", online surveys and the notion that we should "only take what we need" from nature up to a maximum threshold beyond which further development will be considered detrimental to the well-being of the campus community.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE RESOURCES IN LAND USE PLANNING: EXPERIENCE FROM LANGKAWI GEOPARK
Authors: Ali Che Aziz , Unjah Tanot
Published: November 2021

Being an oldest landmass with the most complete Paleozoic rock sequence Langkawi archipelago hosts the richest geological diversity and heritage resources in the country. As a popular tourist destination, the scenic beauty has attracted tourists to Langkawi without them realising that the beauty has been created by the islandsâ€™ rich geological heritage diversity. To date more than 90 geoheritage sites of highly significant scientific, aesthetic, social or recreational value have been identified. Some of these geoheritage sites have become popular tourist sites. To ensure the sustainability of the tourism industry Langkawi needs to have a comprehensive and practical conservation strategy and mechanism. Without a good conservation policy the geoheritage sites are constantly under threat and under stress due to the need of space for development. To ensure the sustainability of these natural resources it is timely to include geoheritage sites in future land use planning.

Authors: Geraldine Chan K.L , Hashim Halimaton Saadiah , Aziz Sarah
Published: November 2021

This article introduces networks as a potential technique in participatory planning and implementation activities, including community activities, social events, projects, and conference events. This recommendation is backed by findings of some networks-like characteristics indicated in past and present work relationships between relevant government and private stakeholders in a study of a few Langkawi Geopark activities. The findings were obtained from an analysis of some geopark activities and interview data given by various public and private stakeholders. The relationships had led to the successful completion of various geopark activities. This article argues that the relationships have the potential to be developed into effective networks of relationships in future geopark activities. Therefore, relevant authorities, policy makers, managers, administrators and planners could consider developing existing stakeholder relationships into actual networks in their future consultation programmes with all stakeholders. This could be achieved by using networks as a technique in planning and development.

Published: November 2021

There is an increasing movement towards acceptance of public participation as a logical approach to heritage conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. In conservation initiatives, to ensure effective participation is to see it as a social process. Thus, the importance of community participation and consultation in planning for heritage conservation is emphasised using an example from fishing community involvement in community-based fisheries management in Langkawi. The setting up of cooperative community resource management Komuniti Pengurusan Ekosistem Perikanan (KPEP) is a significant attempt that acknowledges the value of local involvement in natural resource management. It aims to understand local fishersâ€™ participation in resource management activities towards heritage conservation. One of the findings revealed that although the resource management activities did not mentioned explicitly the importance of heritage conservation. However it could be assumed that intention for heritage conservation is at the heart of the initiatives. Implicit in such an approach is a sense that local fishersâ€™ participation in managing resources would utilise local knowledge gained from past down traditions of previous generations. The application of local knowledge encourages them to become aware of their fishing cultural heritage and to encourage them to conserve it. It is crucial for development activities surrounding the area of KPEP Kuala Teriang are compatible and complementary to the existing activities of fisheries heritage conservation and promotion of social well-being.

Published: November 2021

The creation of a new Federal Government Administrative Centre at Putrajaya marks a new chapter in the development history of modern Malaysia. The development of this new administrative centre was prompted by the need to balance and disperse development to areas outside of Klang Valley. It is a decision motivated by the government's desire to improve the urban environment and quality of life, and to ease the pressure on the infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley in general. In city planning terms, it provides a golden opportunity and a challenge to embark on something new and innovative representing Malaysian values and culture. Putrajaya the new Federal Government Administrative Centre, is to be equipped with the latest facilities and technologies for improved effectiveness and productivity, as well as, amenities that shall contribute to quality living and working environment. However the challenge also lies in fostering the spirit, sense of purpose and identity for the new city. This paper provides an insight to some of the basic principles and concepts behind the endeavor towards realizing this planning vision.

AN INTEGRATION OF MULTICRITERIA ANALYSIS WITH GIS IN THE MALAYSIAN NATIONAL PHYSICAL PLAN
Authors: Kassim Nor Sallehi , Islam Rafikul
Published: November 2021

Plan preparation process has evolved from the usage of traditional approaches of brainstorming to an advanced application of sophisticated analytical techniques coupled with powerful decision support software systems. The rationale of applying analytical techniques is to ensure that the analysis is thorough and logical and minimize the uncertainties in the decisions made. The National Physical Plan (NPP) of Malaysia is prepared on the basis of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Al 129). It contains a written statement that pertains to formulation of strategic policies in determining the general directions and trends of the physical development of the country. The NPP is needed to strengthen the existing national planning system so that it is 1nore systematic, effective, and efficient. The NPP also coordinates the country's various planning agencies and authorities at the national, state and local levels and acts as the basis for preparation of lower tier physical development plans, e.g., structure and local plans. The present paper presents a case study on the NPP using a combined application of GIS and a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique. While GIS has provided its capability in data storage, retrieval and analysis of data, MCDM technique has reflected its capability as the tool for aggregating the geographical data and decision maker's preferences. It is expected that the study will stimulate further applications in various planning activities in Malaysia.

Published: November 2021

In today's world, natural disasters are becoming frequent occurrence as a result of human's excess and waste in using resources, especially land. Its effects can be seen in disasters such as flood in urban areas where population and built-up area is dense. Many studies have been conducted in flood prediction and river management but very few concentrate on evaluation of flood occurrence factors at rivers in urban areas. This study evaluates the significance of factors that cause urban flash floods in Kuala Lumpur by using Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) method with special reference to DEFINITE software. This study carries out a systematic approach encompassing a selection of criteria that determines the root cause of flood through consultation with major stakeholders like Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), Department of Environment (DOE), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD). Less than obvious results are due to the complexity and reality ofthe problem based on the interview of stakeholders with different views on the local environment. The MCA results reveal that stream and land (land use) are the main causes of flooding in urban areas that can be solved with a proper physical planning.

ROLE OF LAND USE PLANNING IN IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH: WAY FORWARD FOR MALAYSIA
Authors: Maidin Ainul Jaria
Published: November 2021

It is an undeniable fact that land use planning regulatory framework and concern for improving living and built environment originated from the desire to improve public health, Planning issues remained at the root of some of the most intractable public health problems, including the declining rates of physical activity resulting from automobile-dependent environments or the isolation of poor and minority conmunities in areas plagued by environmental pollutants, violent crime, and high rates of disease. Land use, community design, and transportation systems substantially impact local air quality, water quality and supply, traffic safety, physical activity and exposure to contaminated industries. Mental health and quality of life issues also are profoundly affected by factors ranging fro1n the stress and difficulties of commuting to the presence or absence of natural areas and green spaces. There is a general realization that health specialists or planning departtnents cannot afford to operate in isolation from one another. This article intends to examine the important role that can be assumed by the members of local health department and other public health professionals in protecting local environmental health and improving the health of the communities through land use planning.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION CONSIDERATIONS IN THE URBAN PLANNING PROCESS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Kean Fong Wee , Matsumoto Hiroshi , Siong Ho Chin , Fat Lun Yu
Published: November 2021

In handling global wanning issues, among the most important measures are to reduce energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While many countries have recognized the importance of the role of urban planning in energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, spatial planning framework in Malaysia is still lacking in this aspect. Although there are some spatial planning policies indirectly favoring energy conservation, there is still no measure that directly emphasizes on promoting energy conservation and capping carbon dioxide emissions. Energy and carbon dioxide issues should thus be taken as one of the core parts in the urban planning process. It is necessary to develop and incorporate a decision making tool to assess the overall impact of development plans on energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While achieving the desired economic and social developments, it is necessary to create a low energy-consuming, carbon dioxide-emitting sustainable society.

THE RELATION BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CYNICISM AND TRUST WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON THE EMPLOYEES OF PUBLIC INSTITUTION OPERATING IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR: A CASE STUDY OF THE ATATURK FOREST FARM
Authors: Dogan Hasan Gokhan , Tezcan Mustafa
Published: November 2021

The present study examines the relation between organizational cynicism and trust with specific focus on the employees of the Ataturk Forest Farm. Exploratory factor analysis, t-test and ANOVA tests were used in investigating the relation between organizational cynicism and trust. The sample of the study was determined on the basis of the voluntary participation method and consisted of the employees of 74 production businesses working at the Plant Production Directorate, Milk Factory, and Fruit Juice and Honey Factory of the Ataturk Forest Farm operating in Ankara in 2021. An information sheet including “Organizational Cynicism Scale” and “Organizational Trust Scale” as well as the socio-demographical properties was used in the study as the data collection tool in order to collect the necessary information. Reliability analysis of the organizational cynicism and trust scales was done and the scales were found reliable for this study. After that, according to the results of the exploratory factor analysis conducted with the data collected by the both scales, the organizational cynicism and trust scales were divided into three dimensions each. The relation between organizational cynicism and trust indicated that the first, second and third dimensions of the organizational cynicism had a statistical difference of p<0.10, p<0.05 and p<0.05, respectively from the organizational trust. As a result, no relation was found between organizational cynicism and trust regarding the employees of the Atatürk Forest Farm. The statistical differences as a result of the ANOVA test also confirmed these findings. However, the trust of the employees in their organization, managers and colleagues can be considered in the centre of their hopelessness, negative thoughts and even their sense of belonging. Keywords: Human resource, organization pessimism, employee’s behaviour, labour problems, trust atmosphere, corporate performance.
A Short Video Recommendation System
Authors: G Ragu
Published: November 2021

Abstract: With the development of the Internet and social networking service, the micro-video is becoming more popular, especially for youngers. However, for many users, they spend a lot of time to get their favourite micro-videos from amounts videos on the Internet; for the micro-video producers, they do not know what kinds of viewers like their products. Therefore, we propose a micro-video recommendation system. The recommendation algorithms are the core of this system. Traditional recommendation algorithms include content-based recommendation, collaboration recommendation algorithms, and so on. At the Big Data times, the challenges what we meet are data scale, performance of computing, and other aspects. Thus, we improve the traditional recommendation algorithms, using the popular parallel computing framework to process the Big Data. Slope one recommendation algorithm is a parallel computing algorithm based on MapReduce and Hadoop framework which is a high-performance parallel computing platform. The other aspect of this system is data visualization. Only an intuitive, accurate visualization interface, the viewers and producers can find what they need through the micro-video recommendation system.

Abstract: We face a perennial pandemic that forces everyone to stay within their premises, which engenders a decline in social interaction between individuals. Moreover, some people fear missing out, which correlates to the fact that individual proclivity towards human interaction is drained, which increases symptoms of depression and raises the bar for anxiety—inspiring from such social circumstances, we want to develop a system that aids in mitigating these social problems. Our system has an artificial neural network layout that enhances personalisation through voice application. An Autonomous Virtual Assistant System is an effective method that shall help a person deprived of social interaction get engaged in a gregarious task, deal with various problems faced by introverts by reducing the psychological impact of COVID 19.

Workplace hierarchical plateau and employees' work engagement: Mediating effect of forgone identity dwelling
Authors: Sun Tuwei , Li Zhen
Published: November 2021

In the workplace, a lack of promotion opportunities causes a hierarchical plateau for some employees, which can lead to decreased work engagement. Using conservation of resources theory, we proposed that employees' repetitive and circular reflection on their work identity (forgone work
identity) would mediate the relationship between hierarchical plateau and work engagement. We also argued that promotion regulatory focus could serve as a moderator in this relationship. We collected data from 423 Chinese employees via an online survey conducted in two waves. Results showed
that hierarchical plateau was negatively related to work engagement, and forgone identity dwelling mediated this relationship. Additionally, promotion regulatory focus moderated the indirect relationship, such that the mediating effect was significant only for employees with high promotion
regulatory focus. These findings highlight the need to consider forgone work identity when examining the negative effects of a hierarchical plateau on work attitudes and behaviors.

Nonparametric inference of stochastic differential equations based on the relative entropy rate
Authors: Dai Min , Duan Jinqiao , Hu jianyu , Wang Xiangjun
Published: November 2021

The information detection of complex systems from data is currently
undergoing a revolution,driven by the emergence of big data and machine
learning methodology. Discovering governingequations and quantifying
dynamical properties of complex systems are among central challenges.
Inthis work, we devise a nonparametric approach to learn the relative
entropy rate from observationsof stochastic differential equations with
different drift functions. The estimator corresponding tothe relative
entropy rate then is presented via the Gaussian process kernel theory.
Meanwhile, thisapproach enables to extract the governing equations. We
illustrate our approach in several examples.Numerical experiments show
the proposed approach performs well for rational drift functions,
notonly polynomial drift functions.
Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): Four Years Evaluation of Protocols 2013 and 2016 in a Single Center in Indonesia, a Low-Middle Income Country

Published: November 2021

Background: As in LMICs, the prognosis of childhood ALL in Indonesia was
lower than in HICs. Indonesian-ALL2013 protocol resulted in more
toxicities and abandonments than expected. Therefore, it was modified
into a pilot ALL2016 protocol. Changes to the ALL2013 protocol: no
anthracyclines in SR, dexamethasone replaced prednisone in reinduction
for HR and some drugs were rescheduled. Procedure: We compare the
outcome of ALL2013 and ALL2016. Results: A total of 383 children with
ALL were diagnosed, 21 were excluded. ALL2013 included 174 patients (106
SR and 68 HR) and ALL2016 188 (91 SR and 97 HR). The outcome of the
ALL2016 was better than the ALL2013 (pOS 67.0% vs 60.3%; p=0.087 and
pEFS 50.0% vs 37.9%; p=0.012) even when the number of HR patients was
significantly higher in ALL2016 (51.6% vs 39.1%). The ALL2016 showed
an early advantage for SR patients (pEFS 56.7% vs 47.2%; p=0.114 and
pOS 74.4% vs 69.8%; p=0.298) due to the decrease of toxic deaths
(10.4% vs 5.5%; p=0.211) however the number of late relapses were
still high (19.5% vs 13.2%; p=0.282). In the HR group, both pEFS and
pOS were significantly better in ALL2016 (pEFS 43.3% vs 23.5%; p=0.010
and pOS 59.8% vs 45.6%; p=0.036) due to less relapses (14.4% vs
29.4%; p=0.019). Both SR and HR showed a smaller number of abandonments
in ALL2016. Conclusions: After small changes in protocol, initial
toxicity and abandonments were reduced and the pOS and pEFS were
improved. However, relapses still need to be lessened in the next
protocol.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper is to approximate a given map by the pertinent
Euler-Lagrange-Jensen generalized quintic functional map, and by the
Euler-Lagrange-Jensen alternative generalized quintic functional map. The
obtained results are extensions of certain stability results from Banach
spaces to quasi-Banach spaces. The obtained results are supported by the
examples.
Symmetric bi-derivations and their generalizations on group algebras
Authors: Gandomani Mohammad , Mehdipour Mohammad
Published: November 2021

Here, we investigate symmetric bi-derivations and their generalizations on L?
0 (G)*. For k ? N, we show that if B:L?0(G)*x L?0(G)* ? L?0(G)* is
asymmetric bi-derivation such that [B(m,m),mk] ? Z(L?0(G)*) for all m ? L?
0 (G)*, then B is the zero map. Furthermore, we characterize symmetric
generalized biderivations on group algebras. We also prove that any
symmetric Jordan bi-derivation on L? 0(G)* is a symmetric bi-derivation.
On the Dα spectral radius of strongly connected digraphs
Authors: Xi Weige
Published: November 2021

Let G be a strongly connected digraph with distance matrix D(G) and let Tr(G)
be the diagonal matrix with vertex transmissions of G. For any real ? ? [0,
1], define the matrix D?(G) as D?(G) = ?Tr(G) + (1-?)D(G). The D?
spectral radius of G is the spectral radius of D?(G). In this paper, we
first give some upper and lower bounds for the D? spectral radius of G and
characterize the extremal digraphs. Moreover, for digraphs that are not
transmission regular, we give a lower bound on the difference between the
maximum vertex transmission and the D? spectral radius. Finally, we obtain
the D? eigenvalues of the join of certain regular digraphs.
Regularized iterative method for ill-posed linear systems based on matrix splitting
Authors: Nandi Ashish , Sahoo Jajati
Published: November 2021

In this paper, the concept of matrix splitting is introduced to solve a large
sparse ill-posed linear system via Tikhonov?s regularization. In the
regularization process, we convert the ill-posed system to a well-posed
system. The convergence of such a well-posed system is discussed by using
different types of matrix splittings. Comparison analysis of both systems are
studied by operating certain types of weak splittings. Further, we have
extended the double splitting of [Song J. and Song Y, Calcolo 48(3),
245-260, 2011] to double weak splitting of type II for nonsingular symmetric
matrices. In addition to that, some more comparison results are presented
with the help of such weak double splittings of type I and type II.
Improvement to the thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS
Authors:   , Atoyo Jonathan
Published: November 2021

Thermoelectric materials can convert waste heat to electricity without moving parts. Extensive research into improving the efficiency of inorganic thermoelectric materials has allowed some materials such as bismuth tellurides to be commercialized. These materials, however, contain materials in low abundance on earth such as tellurium therefore their use and scaled production would be limited. Organic and hybrid thermoelectric materials can meet the gap for niche markets as well as be synthesized on mass, due to utilization of earth abundant elements such as carbon, sulphur, and nitrogen. The thermoelectric generators require several n and p-type materials connected for optimal efficiency. There are many ways to create inorganic thermoelectric n and p-types. However, for the organic thermoelectric materials the efficiency lags because of their lower electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient as well as the lack of effective strategies in the development of n-type materials. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is one of the most successful and researched p-type organic thermoelectric material and thus, the thesis will explore effective strategies for decoupling the apparent trade-offs observed when improving either the electrical conductivity or Seebeck coefficient. The first major contribution to knowledge discussed in this study is the utilization of a reducing agent treatment on PEDOT-ionic liquid composites (reader is advised to refer to chapter 5). Another significant finding was the successful development of a novel route to an n-type single walled carbon nanotube, PEDOT:PSS composite (please refer to chapter 6). The final and most significant contribution to knowledge in this research project was the development of a set of novel single walled carbon nanotube, ionic liquid, PEDOT:PSS composites whereby after a post treatment with a guanidinium iodide in ethylene glycol solution allowed for improvement of the electrical conductivity from 3.4 S cm -1 to 3665 S cm-1 and Seebeck coefficient from 12 μV K-1 to 27 μV K-1 thereby leading to an optimised power factor of 236 μW m-1 K-1 at 140 °C (please refer to chapter 7).
