Cambodia is extremely reliant on biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems. Fish accounts for more than 80% of total animal protein intake, particularly in the rural community. Among fishery products in Cambodia, fermented fish called “Nem” is growing more popular and well-known to even outside of their original geographical regions. “Nem” is the kind of traditional lactic acid fermented freshwater fish of Cambodia that is consumed as raw. Three main t

In Koh Thom district, people mostly rely on agriculture for their incomes. The irrigation systems are based on prek namely small channels diverting the water of the Bassac River in the floodplain. This system potentially contributes to changing the flood dynamics in the area by reducing the period of submersion and its amplitude. This may change the relationships between surface and groundwater flow, with potential pollutant accumulation in aquif

Khmer rice vermicelli “Num Banhchok” is lightly fermented Cambodian rice noodles. Num Banhchok is commonly served as a breakfast noodle dish with curry soup or Khmer fish soup in the country. Food safety concerning microbiological contamination over Khmer rice vermicelli has escalated since the manufacturers and retailers lack hygiene practices with the family-scale of production. Here, this study aimed to assess the physicochemical properties an

The impacts of climate change on hydrological processes in Stung Sen Catchment, the largest tributary contributing to Tonle Sap Great Lake in Cambodia, were assessed using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) hydrological model. The model was calibrated and validated using daily streamflow records. The calibration and validation results indicated that the SWAT model was able to simulate the streamflow reasonably, with R2, NSE, PBIAS, and RSR

Lithofacies and petrological studies of sandstones from outcrops at the Kulen area were carried out to understand the diagenetic processes, depositional process, and mineral composition of sandstones. Measurement of stratigraphic section and sandstone samples were conducted at three zones of Kulen area, Phnom Takhok (TK), Peah Ang Chub (PAC), and Phnom Mrech (PM) for this study. The sedimentological study provides the information of large -and sm

Bridges are high-cost and high-tech infrastructure which are essential to public transportation. However, it is subject to various environmental impacts. Especially, as it is built in the river, a detailed hydraulic study is essential before the construction of the bridge as it may cause a huge impact to the existing river conditions, livelihood near the river bank and river navigation. This study aims to quantify hydraulic responses at Prek Tama

Phenolic compounds are found in plant materials and regarded as an important human dietary element with a wide range of biological activities and health benefits. Extraction of phenolic compounds can be done by various extraction methods and conditions, but the phenolic compounds yield will be affected by many factors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of three parameters (solid-to-solvent ratio, extraction temperature, e

The road is one of the most fundamental forms of social infrastructure and plays a critical role in boosting the local economy. However, the route has been used in many different loading types, affecting their performance. The increase in traffic in commercial vehicles is the main factor causing road damage. This problem involves us thinking about improving the pavement characteristic and quality by using polymer modification materials that satis

Pretreatment is an essential technique for enhancing the efficiency of extraction. Among many types of pretreatment processes, freezing and drying have been recognized as the thermophysical pretreatment techniques that can be applied to many solid samples before being subjected to extractions. However, the effectiveness of the pretreatment conditions highly dependent on the type of raw materials. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the eff

Traffic congestion is one of the most serious problems facing by not only the developed countries, but also by developing countries, including Cambodia. Efforts have been made to minimize urban traffic congestion in order to improve the traffic flow. This paper intends to provide the best alternative solutions to improve traffic flow at a busy intersection in Phnom Penh, Cambodia—i.e., Neakvoan intersection. Three alternative solutions were propo
