Removal of nitrate from JUST wastewater effluent: a case study
(2013)Eutrophication phenomena occurred at JUST constructed pond. The main reason of this eutrophication process is the wastewater effluent of the campus wastewater treatment plant. This is due high nitrate content of the water ... -
Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zeolites, Porcelanite and Sands: Correlation of Morphology and Chemical Composition to Batch Removal Efficiency
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-03)Chemical compositions of natural zeolites, porcelanite (opal-CT) and local sands were determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and correlated with their Pb(II) removal efficiencies. Zeolites and porcelanite were from the ... -
Renewable and Storage Energy Integration for Smart Grid Housing
(2012-03)This paper presents the design, implementation and testing of an embedded system that integrates solar and storage energy resources to smart homes within the smart microgrid. The proposed system provides the required home ... -
Renewable Energy, Coal as a Baseload Power Source, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Evidence from U.S. State-Level Data
(Elsevier, 2017-05-15)This paper examines the relationship between renewable energy production and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) using U.S. state-level data for 2010. After controlling for other sources of emissions, U.S. states that produce ... -
Renormalization functions of the tricritical O(N)-symmetric Φ⁶ model beyond the next-to-leading order in 1/N
(IOP Publishing, 2021)We investigate higher-order corrections to the effective potential of the tricritical O(N)-symmetric Φ⁶ model in 3-2ε dimensions in its phase exhibiting spontaneous breaking of its scale symmetry. The renormalization group ... -
Repetition in Simultaneous Interpreting of Political Discourse: Obama's Speech in Cairo
(2011-06)The aim of this thesis is to examine repetition in the interpreting of political discourse. To this end, three interpretings into Arabic of Obama's speech in Cairo were analyzed. In doing so, the thesis attempts to answer ... -
Residential Area Energy Consumption Big Data Analytics and Visualization
(2018-06)As Internet of Things (IoT) technology and open source file distributed system applications are evolving, home appliances can be monitored and controlled via an IoT-based home gateway. These gateways collect energy consumption ... -
Responding to Students' Writing in UAE Government Secondary Schools: Teachers' Attitudes and Practices, and Students' Perceptions
(2010-05)The significance of implementing appropriate techniques when responding to students' writing has been widely discussed in the field of language learning in general and second language (L2) context in particular. Paying a ... -
The Response of Chickpea to Irrigation with Treated Waste Water
(2013-09)In a three-year study, the response of four cultivars of chickpea, Bulgarit, WIR-32, Jordan and ICC 11293 to irrigation with TW (treated wastewater) and FW (freshwater), using surface and subsurface drip irrigation was ... -
Rethinking the Bottom Bun: Assessing Topic Closers
(2021-05)This study focusses on the learnability of a model for topic closers. Topic closers are the various approaches through which a paragraph can be ended. The model comprises a total of 10 topic closers, each of which is termed ... -
Retrofitting of Composite Steel Beams Pre-Damaged in Flexure using Fiber Reinforced Polymers
(2015-05)The demand for the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates is exponentially increasing in the rehabilitation of deteriorating steel-concrete composite beams across the Globe. The aim of ... -
Review and Assessment of the Newly Developed MD for Desalination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09)Although reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane seperation process which leads to the desalination market for both seawater and brackish water desalination, other newly developed membranes processes are emerging to be well ... -
Review of best practices of solar electricity resources applications in selected Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries
(2011-08)Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries present abundant solar potential, which to some extent has been exploited for electricity production. However, the largest part of this potential remains still unexploited. The ... -
Review of Communication Technologies for Electric Vehicle Charging Management and Coordination
(MDPI, 2021)Recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have been introduced as an alternative method of transportation to help mitigate environmental issues, such as carbon emissions and fuel consumption, caused by conventional transportation ... -
Review of current technologies used in municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities in Canada
(2015-10)The increasing amounts of municipal solid waste produced accompanied with the rising need for energy has caused a growth in the popularity of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities as waste and energy solutions for many regions ... -
