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 ... -
Energy Efficient Houses in the Middle Eastern Region
(2015-02-01)The Middle East is a region which relies heavily on fossil fuels for energy, the disadvantages of this are well known. Furthermore, even if we were to move towards renewable energy sources there are underlying efficiency ... -

Energy Management of a Multi-Source Power System
(2018-05)Many industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to carry out their daily operations. The transportation industry alone is responsible for consuming two thirds of the oil used around the world. As fossil fuel deposits ... -
Energy-Aware Qos Scheduling at Mac Level in Wimax
(2011-01)In a mobile wireless network, energy saving of mobile devices is one of the most important features for the extension of devices' life-time and the network. In mobile networks, the device is expected to have several ... -
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 ... -
Enhancing a Simple Water-Based Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Solar Collector Using CFD Analysis
(2019-07)Photovoltaics thermal collectors are gaining more attention due to their promising potential to pave the way for the penetration of solar energy in modern day power generation technologies. PVTs’ flexibility, manufacturability, ... -
The environmental impact of obesity: longitudinal evidence from the United States
(Elsevier, 2017-08)This paper examines the relationship between obesity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while accounting for the environmental impact of growth in transportation output and in crop and animal farming. -
EQUITY INCOME OF ENERGY FIRMS: EXAMINATION OF NON-CASH INCOME
(2010-04)The energy sector has reported robust profits in recent years with some energy firms reporting record profits, drawing botii public and political scrutiny. Reported accounting profits, however, can include amounts that do ... -
