  • Callogenesis and embryogenesis are integral parts of many tissue culture procedures for genetic manipulation in rice. However, the efficiency of both processes is largely dependent on the media constituent especially the plant growth regulators (PGRs) due to the genotype-dependent nature of in vitro culture protocols. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of two PGRs; 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) and kinetin (Kin) on callus growth and somatic embryogenesis of an important Malaysian rice cultivar (Oryza sativa L. cv. MARDI Siraj 297). Mature rice seeds explants were inoculated in Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different combinations of 2, 4-D (0 to 3.5 mg/L) and Kin (0 to 0.5 mg/L) to induce callogenesis. Parameters for callus growth such as fresh weight (FW), callus induction frequency (CIF), embryogenic callus frequency (ECF), regeneration frequency (RF), number of plantlets per callus (PPC), callus texture and callus color were observed after 35 days of inoculation. The results show that the maximum callus growth was achieved in MS medium supplemented with combination of 2.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.2 mg/L Kin, represented by the highest FW (211 mg), CIF (95%), ECF (90%), RF (100%) and PPC (22 plantlets); along with friable callus texture. Low concentration of 2, 4-D (0 to 0.5 mg/L) in the presence or absence of Kin promotes root growth instead of callus, while high concentrations (above 3.0 mg/L) retard the callus formation. The embryogenic calli from this optimized PGRs combination were successfully formed shoots in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BAP and 1 mg/L NAA, followed by rooting in PGRs-free MS medium. This finding provides an efficient protocol for callogenesis and somatic embryogenesis of MARDI Siraj 297, since this is the first published report regarding somatic embryogenesis induction of this cultivar.

    Concrete is the single most widely used material on earth after water [1,2]. Concrete is the mixture of naturally occurring agammaegate of about 70-80% followed by fillers and binding materials such as cement [3]. To understand the urgency of the research, the extensive utilization of concrete itself is massively destructive to human health on the plant. Concrete is one of the leading cause factors for increasing carbon footprint on earth [4]. Growing concern over the utilization of waste materials may enhance the concrete properties by replacing with cement/filler or with coarse agammaegate been trending from past decades [5]. Among the waste materials FA use has positive impact on the economic aspect as it reduces the cost of concrete production by reducing the content of expensive cement in its composition. FA use in concrete reduces industrial waste landfills followed by reduction of CO2 and green gas emission from the cement production [6]. Cenosphere addition to the concrete is to reuse waste materials which have the inverse effect on the climate change. The high demand and utilization of natural materials may cause scarcity thus preparing alternative materials would be helpful. Numerous studies have been conducted to meet with the challenge of findings alternative materials. This study is mainly focusing on the energy part. Global leaders and United Nations organizations passionately looking onto the matter of climate change. United Nations general assembly meeting 2019 largely focused on the sustainable development and green buildings to enhance the people living life in contrast to combat climate change [7,8]. The one attempt to combat with climate change is the energy conversation. Globally, building infrastructure contribute about 30% greenhouse gas emissions [9,10]. Today building infrastructure plays multiple role and people are spending much of time indoor where energy conversations and thermal comfort is important.

    Dynamically, thermal comfort and energy required for the cooling and heating of the building is highly depend on the thermo-physical properties of the construction materials used in the building [11]. Concrete is the key building material and extensively use up to 10 billion tons per year and expected to increase up to 18 billion tons in 2050 [12]. The high demand and on large scale utilization has created interest among researchers to investigate thermo-physical properties of the concrete. The main thermo physical properties of the materials are thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity. Thermal conductivity is important because it allow the heat transfer in the material or concrete. Low heat transfer and energy consumption has been observed in the buildings constructed with lower conductive materials [13]. Conventional concrete which is most widely used in the construction is poor insulating materials with high thermal mass. Conventional concrete store heat energy absorb due to high thermal conductivity and less insulation. Study [14] postulated that light weight concrete applied in the buildings of European countries may has reduce about 15% heating energy compared to buildings constructed with normal concrete. Study [15] has modified concrete by replacing cement with FA resulted potentially high environmental benefits such as reduction of energy use for cement production. Addition of 20-30% siliceous FA to the fresh concrete significantly reduce the fracture toughness of concrete while over 28 d of cured concrete with 20% slightly increase mode KIIIc fracture followed with 30% addition of FA reduced significantly fracture toughness [16].

    Thus, it is essential to find alternative lightweight materials to enhance the thermal insulation properties of concrete to reduce heat energy in the building further leads to the energy saving buildings to cope climate change global issue.

    In the introduction part enlighten importance of concrete utilization in the civil engineering practice worldwide and future demand has discussed. Due to high demand and very friendly adoption nature of concrete today science engineering is focusing on the importance aspect of heat island largely generated by the concrete massive structure and impact on the climate change which cannot be ignored. Thus, the engineers and scientist are contributing to design concrete with less thermal conductivity by addition of waste materials is to cope with climate change challenge. In this review, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the techniques that can be used and also by considering the factors that affect the thermal conductivity (K-values). Thermal conductivity of concrete is seen as the important factor to monitor the heat transfer through conduction. Thermal conductivity decreases by utilization of insulating materials [13]. Generally, steady state and transient method is use to determine the thermal conductivity of the material technically both has different approach where in the steady state method temperature is constantly applied and not dependent on time. Steady state commonly chooses if the materials are homogenous.

    Whereby transient method heat flow/temperature changes over time can say transient method is time dependent method. Transient method used for non-homogenous (heterogeneous) materials with moister content [13,17,18]. Study of [13] comprehensively analyzed the thermal conductivity of concrete and concluded transient method is commonly used to find the K values of concrete time, equipment availability and cost might be the reason but since concrete is not homogenous material and has always moisture content is most justified reason transient method used to find K values.

    Thermal conductivity of concrete and governing factors concluded by [18] are types of agammaegate materials, cement content, water content and air voids content additionally temperature and moister condition of the concrete. Moisture content and mineralogical characteristic of concrete are leading factors of high thermal conductivity [19]. Study of [20] added light weight material such as perlite in the concrete result shows significant reduction of thermal conductivity of concrete to 0.1472 w/mK. In the concrete higher is the cement content higher is the thermal conductivity addition of powder materials like FA, steel slag help to reduce the K value because reducing the cement content. Study shows significant reduction of thermal conductivity of concrete by addition of FA [21]. Study conducted by [22] found that addition of lightweight perlite agammaegate help to reduce density, flexural strength and thermal conductivity at 70% addition is 6.3 times less than control/normal concrete. Research Study conducted by [23] has strongly recommended the low water/binder ratio for concrete mix. Moreover, high degree of homogeneity in the concrete mixes leading better performance small internal microcracks and greater resistance to dynamic loads. Expended polystyrene (EPS) was added into the concrete result indicated increasing volume of EPS significantly reduce the thermal conductivity of the concrete [24]. Natural agammaegate was replaced with modified expended polystyrene (MEPS) findings indicated that increasing the replacement of natural agammaegate with MEPS significantly reduce the thermal conductivity of the concrete [25]. Concreter incorporation with FA 30% to over 40% remarkably improves the strength properties of concrete. Cement replacement with FA in the concrete mix has significantly environmental benefits as well reduce the electricity consumed while cement productions [15]. Light weight concrete added 30% FA decreased water absorption, density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity of concrete [26]. Study claimed light foamed concrete (LFC) is highly thermal resistance compare to ordinary concrete and produce better energy efficacy for use as non-structural alternative materials in tropical climates [27]. Thermal insulation materials play an important role in reducing power requirements and greenhouse gas emissions. There are some factors mainly affecting the thermal conductivity of the concrete are types of agammaegate materials, cement, fine agammaegate, water cement ratio and moister content. Where it found that light weight concrete has the lower thermal conductivity compare to the normal concrete. Many attempts have been made in the past to reduce the thermal conductivity of concrete by adding and replacing main agammaegate materials. In this study, by products of the fly ash known cenespher is suggested to use. Cenosphere by product of the fly ash can be separated from FA using sink float method. Cenosphere possess good mechanical properties such as high compressive strength and a good thermal insulator. Conventional cement can be used with cenosphere to produce a lightweight concrete.

    The test aim is to measure the performance of concrete. Concrete cube size of 0.1 m3 was prepared and cured for 3, 7 and 28 d before tested using universal compressive testing machine.

    Concrete has the lower tensile strength compare to compressive strength. Tensile test was conducted and specimen prepared size of 0.075 × 0.030 m cylinder has prepared and cured for 28 d. Universal tensile machine is used to test the tensile straight of the concrete beam.

    Thermal conductivity is a test to measure the rate and amount of heat that passes through the concrete specimen in a period of time. The set point temperature will be set to 0-60 ºC in order to produce different set of results to be analyzed. Heat Flow meter FOX-50 instrument is used to measure the heat flow/thermal conductivity of the concrete samples sample casted according to the specification and tested for an hour.

    Modified concrete specimen was tested for compressive strength on 3rd, 7th and 28th days of curing. Table 6 shows 28th days' compressive strength result. In the comprassion result with 3rd day, 7th day and 28 d shows that compressive strength of concrete increased by addition of cenosphere 20%. More than 20% addition such as 30% addition shows lower compressive strength for 3rd day, 7th day and 28 d likewise. Study has observed that cenosphere addition up to 20% in the concrete increase the compressive strength of concrete in the range of 25-30 MPa. Highest compressive strength that has observed on 28th days is 28.8 MPa. Addition of cenesphere by 20% significantly improved the compressive strength for 3-7 and 28 d where more addition or replacement with sand shows lower compressive strength. For concrete curing day 7 with 10% CE, 30% increase of strength is achieved whereas for 20% CE, 35% increase in strength is achieved. 28 d of concrete curing is known as the day concrete reaches highest strength. Highest strength is achieved in the project with an increase of strength of 40% in 10% CE and 43% in 20% CE. Overall study found that addition of cenesphere in concrete increased the compressive strength by 43% in the curing period of 28 d.

    Split Tensile is done to observe the tensile strength of the concrete which is by splitting the cylinder at the center of the concrete. Concrete with 28 d of curing is used to obtain the highest tensile strength. The machine used for this test is Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The cylinder is placed in horizontal and two bearing plates are placed in between of the cylindrical concrete and the loads are applied gradually. The max load applied on the samples is used to calculate splitting strength. Figures 4 to 7 as shown below indicated the result of tensile strength.

    Each Specimen is tested three times and average result is signified in Table 7. The average tensile strength result for the control mix is 1.131 MPa. Addition of 10% cenesphere result shows the maximum tensile strength of 2.180 MPa. Further addition of cenesphere of 20% and 30% average results shows 1.732 MPa and 1.250 MPa. The tensile strength can be seen to be increasing by addition of 10% when sand is replaced by 10% of cenesphere. This is to show that CE addition to the mix should be kept at 10% for it to work as a resistance to tensile forces. From the results, it shows that once sand is replaced by 20-30% of CE, reduction in tensile strength will happen. Highest tensile strength obtained is 2.321 MPa in design.

    Thermal conductivity test is conducted using FOX 50 heat flow meter (instrument). Heat flow instrument draft the result of concrete specimen thermal conductivity, density and weight loss of the concrete sample during the process of heat flow before and after as measured. Correction factor is applied for thermal conductivity (W/mK) values because of the rubbers used in between of the samples when conducting the test in FOX 50. Two samples from each concrete mix design of 28 curing days are taken for the test. All samples were kept in the oven for 24 h to ensure moisture content completely dry. Temperature is set at 28 ºC (Malaysia temperature). Table 8 shows the thermal conductivity of concrete samples.

    Thermal conductivity results obtained for two samples from each mix design are tabulated in Table 6. Thermal conductivity of the concrete values according to the literature shows in the range 1.0-2.5 W/mK. The result shown in the Table 6 indicated that control sample has the highest thermal conductivity of an average 1.2873 W/mK.

    Density of the lightweight concrete is 1840 kg/m3. Replacement of sand 10% over cenosphere shows almost 13% reduction of thermal conductivity average values 0.9988 W/mK. Replacement of cenosphere by 20% reduces average thermal conductivity 0.9463 W/mK which is about 27% reduction in the thermal conductivity. Findings shown in the Table 6 indicated that replacement of cenosphere with sand by 30% reduce thermal conductivity of 0.8445 W/mK which is about 35%. Water cement ratio plays an important role and strict control has been taken care for every mix.

    Study of [28] found that FA incorporation with concrete effectively reduce thermal conductivity and density of the concrete. Coarse agammaegates selection can play vital role in further reducing the thermal conductivity values. This can be seen in the review paper by [13] has stated the factors affecting thermal conductivity are humidity, temperature, type of agammaegate and cementing materials. Inhomogeneity and the geometry of the materials affect the thermal conductivity of the concrete mix [29]. In addition, partial evaporation of the mix design water content decreases the thermal conductivity. Cenosphere has less density compare to the water findings shown in the Table 6 indicated that density of the concrete samples decrease as the replacement of the cenosphere over sand increased. Thermal conductivity has direct relation with the density of the concrete. Thermal conductivity increased as the density increased but study witnessed replacement of sand with FA cenosphere decreased the density and positively decrease the thermal conductivity of the concrete. Higher density concrete has the higher thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity of concrete varies with the density of concrete [30]. The mineralogical character of the agammaegate greatly affects the conductivity of concrete.

    Study has follow conclusions:

    (1) Partial replacement of sand with cenosphere significantly increases the compressive strength of the lightweight concrete.

    (2) Addition of cenosphere by 20% has significantly improved the compressive strength for 3-7 and 28 d where more addition or replacement with sand shows lower compressive strength.

    (3) Compressive strength increased 40% and 43% by addition of 10% and 20% cenosphere respectively. Highest compressive strength that can be produced by the concrete is 28.8 MPa which is good for a lightweight concrete.

    (4) Study concluded that tensile strength of concrete improved by replacement 10% of sand over FA cenosphere. Further addition of cenosphere shows lower tensile strength compare to 10% addition. It can conclude if desired high tensile strength in the concrete the replacement ratio keep 10% but if purpose is to achieve high compressive strength 30% addition shows the highest compressive strength of the concrete.

    (5) To analyze and reduce thermal conductivity of the lightweight concrete is the main focus of this study. Study concluded that replacement of the sand with fly ash cenosphere reduces the thermal conductivity and the density of the lightweight concrete as the finding is shown in Table 5.

    (6) Replacement sand over FA by 30% significantly reduces the thermal conductivity about 35%. The thermal conductivity of the control mix concrete is 1.28 W/mK where addition of 10% to 30% the thermal conductivity is reduce respectively 0.9988 W/mK, 0.9463 W/mK and 0.8445 W/mK which marked about 35% thermal conductivity has reduced.

    (7) Findings indicated that cenosphere reduce the density of concrete which is the leading factor to reduce the thermal conductivity of the concrete.

    (8) Study found the density of concrete has direct relation with thermal conductivity.

    (9) Replacement of sand over cenosphere significantly reduces the density and thermal conductivity of the concrete.

    (10) Thermal comfort in the concrete structures and copping with the climate change can be significantly reduced by the utilization of cenosphere in the concrete to replace sand. Fly ash cenosphere can be recommended to utilize in the construction projects where desired compressive strength is required this will help to reduce thermal conductivity of the concrete structures.
