    Estimation of short-duration rainfall intensity from daily rainfall values in Klang Valley, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2018) Abdullah Al Mamun; Md. Noor bin Salleh; Hanapi Mohamad Noor
    Data on intensity-duration-frequency or design rainfall are one of the most important information required for various hydrological and water resources studies. However, such crucial data are often unavailable in various parts of the world due to lack of enough rain gauging stations. It is not only tedious to determine design rainfall from the raw data but also occasionally impossible to calculate due to lack or absence of short-duration rainfall data. Generally, the manual rain gauges outnumber the automatic gauges, making it difficult to have adequate data on short-duration rainfall values, which is very important for urban hydrology. However, no graphical or mathematical relation could be found in the literature, which can be used for quick estimation of short-duration design rainfall from the daily rainfall data recorded by the manual stations. Annual maximum rainfall data from 143 rain gauging stations located at Klang Valley in Malaysia were used in this study.

    Green vehicle adoption behavior among low-income households: evidence from coastal Malaysia
    (Springer, 2019) Abdullah Al Mamun; Muhammad Mehedi Masud; Syed Ali Fazal; Rajennd Muniady
    In an attempt to mitigate the effects of extreme natural events caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs), a significant number of researchers and environmentalists have repeatedly stressed the importance of implementing protective measures, including the promotion of green consumption. This study examined the elements that motivated the willingness and the practice of green behavior (GB) among low-income households in coastal Peninsular Malaysia.
