Three key factors were considered for
Three key factors were considered for selecting catchment areas from a topographic map that were suitable for harnessing hydropower. The key factors were mps1 kinase demand, accessibility and river profile. The catchment areas topographies were studied for determining the appropriate elevation for head and stream diversion. The river profile, which is the river׳s tributaries and gradient, was considered for finding the availability of water resources and river flow. Based on the hydropower manual and guides [2–5], the catchment areas, streams, available heads and river profile that were suitable for hydropower development were identified from the topographic map.

Data
Spectral data of specular reflectance of solar reflector materials and narrow-angle transmittance of semi-transparent materials for solar collector covers are experimentally measured at an acceptance half-angle of 17.5mrad, wavelengths 300–2500nm, and incidence angles 0–60°. The angle-resolved surface scattering of reflective materials is characterized by the parameters of a superposition of two Gaussian distributions over the spectral range 350–1050nm and incidence angles 15–60°.

Data
Experimental design, materials and methods
The data was collected from a site survey that has been conducted on Tioman Island from 4th to 5th July 2013. The load profiles for 2009–2011 have been requested from power station on the island. Since the raw load profiles data are confidential, the data included in the supplementary material has been plotted in daily, monthly and seasonal basis. These data can be used to access the seasonal load profiles on many islands in the South China Sea due to seasonal tourism industry. Both diesel and mini-hydropower stations had been visited during the site survey which is guided by the power station technicians and staffs. Meanwhile, other data such as type of loads and typical islanders and tourist activities has been collected by communication with local residents on the island such as chalets, shops and café owners. The data presented in this article has been used for renewable energy assessments on Tioman Island [1].

Data
Data in this paper are presented for three values of fuel/air ratios: a richer (Φ=0.333), an intermediate (Φ=0.212), and an ultra-lean condition (Φ=0.144), in Supplementary files in the following series:
An example of the VIS raw images are also directly provided with in the text of this article (see Fig. 1).
Experimental design, materials and methods
The experiments were carried out using the combustion test rig at the Green Engine laboratory of the University of Salento in Lecce – Italy, where a 300kW liquid-fueled swirling combustor was used (Fig. 2a). The burner is a gas-turbine derived combustor, modified for research׳s investigations [2–5]. Fig. 2b shows the geometry of the burner chamber and fueling system. The inner diameter of the burner is 14cm and its length is 29cm. The air passage consists of two concentric annular air tubes. The inner one is equipped with eight-septa, 45° swirler. At the exit, the combustion chamber contracts to a cylindrical exhaust gas nozzle.
