Satellite Pay TV in the Arab World : KPIs and Projections
(2014-02)
This report provides a detailed comparison of the major KPI’s for the main satellite Pay TV providers that broadcast out of the Arab World. There are five satellite Pay TV providers that cater specifically to the Arab ...
Use of Natural and Modified Jordanian Zeolitic Tuff for Removal of Cadmium(II) from Aqueous Solutions
(2014-10)
The possibility of using natural and modified Jordanian zeolite for removal of cadmium as a model
component of heavy metals has been considered. Bench-scale tests using both aqueous solutions and real
water under different ...
Smart Home Area Networks Protocols within the Smart Grid Context
(2014-09)
The Internet of things (IoT) applications are becoming one of the emerging smart grid enabling technologies. Smart home appliances are one the beneficiary of such applications. Machine-to-Machine and Man-to-Machine are the ...
Process simulation and analysis of a five-step copper-chlorine thermochemical water decomposition cycle for sustainable hydrogen production
(2014-01)
A process model of a five-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is developed and simulated with the Aspen Plus simulation code. Energy and mass balances, stream flows and properties, heat exchanger duties, and shaft work are ...
Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network
(2014-01)
In this work, a prediction of the effects of introducing energy storage systems on the network stability of the distribution network of Cyprus and a comparison in terms of cost with a traditional solution is carried out. ...
Concentrating solar power (CSP) system integrated with MED-RO hybrid desalination
(2014-03)
Renewable energy technologies, in particular concentrating solar power (CSP), are becoming more and more interesting for powering water desalination system. Moving from a European Community funded project called MATS, ...
Dynamic modeling and analysis of biotrickling filters in continuous operation for H2S remova
(2014-12)
A number of important biotrickling filter (BTF) models are reviewed. For our study, a theoretical model, based on H2S removal in a differential BTF under batch mode, was selected among the models reviewed. Using a cascade ...
Distributed Air-Conditioning Energy Management System within the Smart Grid Context
(2014-03)
Air-conditioning (AC) systems are the major energy consumption units in residential and commercial buildings. In the context of smart grid, optimizing AC operations leads to substantial saving in energy consumption, reducing ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow in the Direct Contact Membrane Distillation Flow
(2014-11)
Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) is modeled using conjugate heat transfer Navies-stokes flow model. A uniform salty and relatively hot feed and colder fresh permeate flow driven by peristaltic pump are considered ...
Energy-Aware QoS Uplink Scheduling for UGS Traffic Flows in WiMAX Networks
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
This paper presents a new energy-aware QoS scheduling and call admission control algorithm for WiMAX IEEE 802.16e wireless access standard. The scheduling algorithm works at MAC layer and is designed towards minimizing ...
