“…It should be raised around 1-2 m above the floor level of the prayer hall [8,12]. It is normally used by the Imam during Juma'ah, Eid, and Estisga' prayers to deliver a speech or what is called khutbah [30] (Figure 1).…”

Achieving and maintaining indoor thermal comfort is a crucial factor for energy saving and human health, especially in heavily occupied public buildings, such as mosque buildings. The acceptable level of thermal comfort should not be achieved at the expense of damaging the environment by using preventable energy depletion. This study aims to investigate what level thermal comfort is achieved and related issues in mosque buildings in Abha city, which has a semi-arid moderate/cold mountainous climate. The research involved a computer modelling investigation by using Thermal Analysis Software (TAS). A number of comparisons of the simulation results with actual measurement data in mosque buildings, such as temperature, relative humidity, and energy demand were conducted. Main factors influencing thermal comfort and PMV were investigated for the selected mosques. In addition, thermal performance of mosques’ fabrics and envelopes in terms of solar gain and heat loss/gain by conduction and its impacts on thermal comfort and energy demands were also discussed. The outcome showed some discomfort due to heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. The results also revealed that the main factors behind heat gain or loss were the poor quality of the investigated mosque buildings’ envelopes, including walls, roofs, floors, windows, and doors.

“…One of the most effective methods is to produce antimicrobial fabrics by incorporating biocidal agents into the fibers of the fabrics. Quaternary ammonium salts [3][4][5][6][7], nano silver [8], N-halamines [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], and others have been used in the development of antimicrobial textiles. Among these biocidal agents, N-halamines have been demonstrated to be powerful, durable and reachargeable antimicrobial agents with low toxicity to humans.…”

A reactive triazine derivative, 2,4-dichloro-6-hydroxy-1,3,5-triazine (DCHT), was prepared through the controlled hydrolysis of cyanuric chloride in water solution. The reaction was characterized with 13 C NMR study. The reaction solutions could be directly used to treat cellulose fibers. A pad-dry-cure method was employed to immobilize the triazine derivative onto cotton. The covalently bound triazine moieties on cotton could be transformed into N-halamine structures after a chlorine bleaching treatment. The biocidal efficacies of the treated samples with different chlorine loadings were further examined. The storage and release testing showed that the antimicrobial function of the N-halamine modified cotton fabrics was durable and renewable. These advantages make the triazine N-halamine modified cotton as an attractive candidate in a broad range of application fields.
