Ulu Jelai Power Station. The Ulu Jelai Power Station () is a hydroelectric power station located in the district of Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. It is one of the entry point projects under the Economic Transformation Programme.

Location
The project is located approximately 150 km north of Kuala Lumpur. The nearest town is Ringlet, 40 km away. The power station is accessible from Federal Route 102, connecting the towns of Ringlet and Sungai Koyan. It is located within Ulu Jelai and Bukit Jerut forest reserves, near Cameron Highlands-Lipis district border.

Specifications 
The power station has a maximum generating capacity of 382 MW. Water from 3 rivers - the Sungai Bertam, Sungai Telom and Sungai Lemoi is used for electricity generation. A dam is built to impound the Sungai Bertam. Weirs and diversion tunnels are built on the Sungai Telom and Sungai Lemoi to divert water into the main reservoir at Sungai Bertam. From the reservoir, water is channeled into a series of tunnels 15 km-long to generate electricity before being released back into Sungai Telom.

The power cavern houses 2 units of Francis turbines each with a generating capacity of 191 MW.

Construction
TM-Salini Consortium has been appointed as the main contractor. Construction commenced in March 2011. The 88m-high roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam on Sungai Bertam was built after Sungai Bertam has been successfully diverted. The RCC mix is of low cementitious content and aggregates were sourced from a nearby quarry.

All tunnels and caverns were excavated using drill and blast method except for the diversion tunnels which utilised a 3m-diameter tunnel boring machine. Lining of tunnels depended upon the rock conditions and water pressure - concrete and steel are used as lining materials. The surge shaft was excavated using the raised boring technique. Unit 1 is expected to be commissioned in December 2015 while Unit 2 in March 2016.

The construction of this project resulted in the relocation of 3 orang Asli villages - Kampung Susu, Kampung Tiat and Kampung Pinang.

The reservoir impounding started on 18 January 2016 and reach the full supply level on 16 May 2016.

Unit 2 was the first unit being commissioned due to some issues with the commissioning of Unit 1. Commercial operation of Unit 2 was at 0000 hours on 15 August 2016.

Issues
Sedimentation is a major issue for Sungai Bertam and Sungai Telom due to uncontrolled clearing of land. A check dam has been constructed upstream of the main reservoir on Sungai Bertam. The check dam is able to reduce the amount of sediment entering the reservoir and prolonging the reservoir life. A desanding system has been constructed at the intake of Sungai Telom for the same purpose.

Oriented structural straw board. Oriented structural straw board (OSSB) is an engineered board that is made by splitting straw and formed by adding methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and then hot compressing layers of straw in specific orientations. Research and development for OSSB panels began in the mid 1980s and was spearheaded by the Alberta Research Council, Canada (today AITF).

Uses

OSSB can replace wood oriented strand board (OSB) and particle board in structural and non-structural applications, such as interior and exterior walls for house construction, furniture and interior decoration.
 OSSB panels are formaldehyde-free, they are also used for applications where air quality is a concern, such as kindergartens, hospitals, bedrooms, and hotels.

Manufacturing
OSSB panel manufacturing starts with careful selection of straw fibres, which are then cut, cleaned, split and dried. Splitting straws allows resin to coat what would otherwise be the inside of a hollow straw.  Producing split straw of sufficient length was the key technical innovation making OSSBs possible.  OSSB is thus sometimes referred to as oriented split straw board.  Formaldehyde free resin is added to the straw and the fibres are oriented for strength and appearance, and shaped into a mat through directional mat forming. The mat is then pressed between heated belts, water is vaporized, transferring heat into the straw. The heat cures the adhesive and causes a series of physical and chemical changes to the pressurized raw materials, which harden the final product.

Properties
OSSB panels have high structural strength, load bearing and stability in both directions, as well as superior workability and excellent nail holding properties on all sides. Water permeability treated OSSB panels are more water resistant than treated traditional wood panel boards because they have no internal gaps or voids. OSSB panels are also highly earthquake resistant.
The resin used to manufacture OSSB is p-MDI, which does not emit formaldehyde (volatile organic compounds / VOCs). The raw material can be treated by various borate compounds, which are toxic to termites, beetles, molds, fungi and mammals, but only at higher doses.

John German. John German is an American engineer who is the US co-lead of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). In that role, his research helped uncover the Volkswagen emissions scandal of 2015. German was investigating what he thought would be relatively clean diesel emissions in US cars, where standards are more strict than in Europe. The hope was to eventually improve the diesel emissions of European vehicles. After the results were published, which showed VW nitric oxide emissions were exceeding US standards by as much as 35 times, further work uncovered a VW defeat device. In light of the discovery and scandal, German recommends that other car manufacturers be investigated for installing potential defeat devices. German has a degree in physics from the University of Michigan, is married, and makes what The Guardian called a "modest salary" in his role at the ICCT.

Constructive heuristic. A constructive heuristic is a type of heuristic method which starts with an empty solution and repeatedly extends the current solution until a complete solution is obtained. It differs from local search heuristics which start with a complete solution and then try to improve the current solution further via local moves. Examples of some famous problems that are solved using constructive heuristics are the flow shop scheduling,  the vehicle routing problem and the open shop problem.
