Efficiency of Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant towards Removal of Aspirin, Salicylic Acid, Paracetamol and p-Aminophenol
(2011-01)The efficiency of membrane separation technology for wastewater treatment was employed to check its efficiency in removing pharmaceuticals, their degradation products and their metabolites from wastewater. Aspirin and ... -
Efficiency of advanced wastewater treatment plant system and laboratory-scale micelle-clay filtration for the removal of ibuprofen residues.
(2013)The efficiency of Al-Quds Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), which includes sequential elements as activated sludge, ultrafiltration, activated carbon column and reverse osmosis, to remove spiked ibuprofen, a non steroid ... -
Efficiency of membrane technology, activated charcoal, and a micelle-clay complex for removal of the acidic pharmaceutical mefenamic acid.
(2013-08)The efficiency of sequential advanced membrane technology wastewater treatment plant towards removal of a widely used non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) mefenamic acid was investigated. The sequential system included ... -
Efficiency Optimization of a DSP-Based Standalone PV System Using Fuzzy Logic and Dual-MPPT Control
(2012-04)This paper presents a new digital control scheme for a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system using fuzzy-logic and a dual maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The first MPPT controller is an astronomical two-axis ... -
Efficiency Optimization of a Standalone Solar Energy System using Fuzzy Based MPPT
(2012-01)This work primarily addresses the design and implementation of a standalone rotary sun tracker with dual maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The objective is to improve the efficiency of the PV system by introducing both ... -
Electrochemical Studies on the Corrosion Behavior of Common Metals in Eutectic Ionic Liquids
(2017-05)Recently, new green novel solvents called Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) were investigated as substitute for none environmentally friendly organic solvents and ionic liquids that are used in many applications such as metal ... -
Elemental and Chemical Analysis of PM10 and PM2.5 Indoor and Outdoor Pollutants in the UAE
(2015-08)Knowledge of both the size distribution and elemental composition of different size fractions of aerosol particles is useful not only in providing information about the chemical composition and source apportionment of ... -
Emotional Reactions to Unequal Payment: The Impact of Meritocratic Ideology and Salary Negotiability
(2015-03)People respond to low-status inequality with feelings of anger and shame. This work investigates the impact of meritocracy beliefs and implied salary negotiability on individuals’ emotional reactions within a stable status ... -
An Empirical Assessment of U.S. State-Level Immigration and Environmental Emissions
(2010-03)This paper uses U.S. state-level data for CO, NO2, SO2, and PM10 emissions and a STIRPAT-inspired model to provide empirical evidence discrediting, at least in part, the restrictionist perspective on the immigration-environment ... -
An Empirical Study on the Dynamic Relationship between Higher Educational Investment and Economic Growth using VAR Model
(Wiley, 2014-06)Previous research has studied the relationship between higher education and economic growth, but the results are mixed. This paper analysed higher educational investment and economic growth theoretically and studied the ... -
Endogenous Sanctioning Institutions and Migration Patterns: Experimental Evidence
(University of Exeter, 2017)We experimentally analyze the effect of the endogenous choice of sanctioning institutions on cooperation and migration patterns across societies. In our experiment, subjects are allocated to one of two groups, are endowed ... -
Energy Conservation-based Thresholding for Effective Wavelet Denoising of Partial Discharge Signals
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016-10)Recent studies have shown that wavelet transform can effectively be used for noise reduction in the context of partial discharge (PD) signal detection and classification. Several thresholding approaches for wavelet denoising ... -
Energy consumption considerations in dynamic wireless sensor networks with nodes and base stations mobility
(2010)Energy conservation is a critical issue in the design of sensor networks since the sensor nodes are battery-powered. This paper proposes a wireless sensor network with mobile sensor nodes and base stations to prolong the ... -
