A Framework for Abu Dhabi Police Traffic Monitoring and Response System
(2013-06)
Abstract—The city of Abu Dhabi has witnessed a major growth in its population over the past two decades. This growth has resulted in a significant increase in the number of vehicles in the city. Abu Dhabi Police Department ...
Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)
An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ...
Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon, Glass and Carbon-Glass FRP Laminates
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
Externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are widely used to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete (RC) structural members in flexure and shear. Despite the clear and proven advantages of using ...
Designing constructed wetlands for reclamation of pretreated wastewater and stormwater
(Springer, 2017-03)
Wastewater reclamation is getting greater attention as an alternative to conventional approaches to wastewater treatment and water supply due to increasing water stress coupled with more stringent water quality limitation ...
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 ...
Modeling and dynamic analysis of a membrane bioreactor withbackwash scheduling
(2012-03)
A dynamic model, based on mass transport and reaction rate laws of biomass and substrate for a membrane bioreactor (MBR), was successfully developed. Furthermore, an empirical model for flux prediction was used. Key kinetic ...
Kinetics and Modeling of H2S Removal in a Novel Biofilter
(2011-04)
Biofiltration has become a widely accepted technology for the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is one of the major odor causing gases present in the air streams of municipal wastewater treatment facilities. In ...
Application of carbon nano-materials in desalination processes
(2013-01)
Scarcity of freshwater resources increases the importance of seawater and brackish water desalination processes. However, still, large amount of specific energy requirement, leading to high operational costs, presents a ...
