Framework for Modeling Mass Disasters
(2011-05)This paper introduces a generic mass Disaster Modeling Framework (DMF) to support integrated sociophysical risk assessment and management of disasters. The DMF draws on the principles that disasters have many common features ... -
A Framework for Predictive Modeling in Sustainable Projects
(2012-05)Project management systems typically target the completion of a project within budget, on time, and fulfilling stakeholders' expectations and environmental needs from the project. The aim becomes harder to achieve when ... -
A Framework for Project Time-Cost Optimization Considering Float Consumption Impact
(2012-01)The main objectives of construction projects include completing the project on time and within budget. There is always a tradeoff between time and cost. Time loss is costly and time savings can provide benefits to all the ... -
A Framework for Sustainability-Oriented Innovation in Healthcare
(2019-12)The concept of sustainability in healthcare has received significant attention in the last decade due to the associated progressive impacts on the environment. With the continuous growth and the associated challenges in ... -
Fuel recovery from waste oily sludge using solvent extraction
(2010-09)Solvent extraction was used to recover oil from waste sludge generated from the storage of crude petroleum. Different solvent-to-sludge mass ratios were used for two solvents, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and LPG condensate ... -

GCC Domestic Wastewater Treatment and Microbial Fuel Cells
(2014-07-22)Water resources are scarce across the gulf region, however water consumption is very high compared to other countries across the world. Also, waste-water production rate is increasing with the increasing water consumption ... -
A General Framework for Sustainability Assessment of Manufacturing Processes
(2018-11)The manufacturing sector has a major impact on the three sustainability dimensions represented by social, economic, and environmental aspects. Most of the work on sustainability assessment in the field of manufacturing is ... -
A geoenvironmental application of burned wastewater sludge ash in soil stabilization
(2014-03)This paper studied the use of burned sludge ash as a soil stabilizing agent. The sludge ash was obtained from a public wastewater treatment plant, and it was burned at 550C. Different percentages of burned sludge ash were ... -
Geothermal Energy Use in Hydrogen Production
(Yildiz Technical University, 2016-04)We propose the use of geothermal energy for hydrogen production and liquefaction, and investigate six possible models for accomplishing such a task. The models are studied thermodynamically in order to assess their performance ... -
A GIS-based spatiotemporal study of the variability of water quality in the Dubai Creek, UAE
(IWA Publishing, 2016)This paper presentsthe outcomes of a studyon thewater qualityof Dubai Creek which aimed to assess its eutrophication status. Field water quality data from stations along the creek collected in 2012 and 2013 were used. ... -
GIS-based study on the Susceptibility of Dubai Creek (UAE) to Eutrophication
(Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2016-06)Rapid urbanization in the UAE has led to some environmental implications, one of which concerns Dubai Creek – a major attraction in the city of Dubai. The creek’s water quality monitoring program showed increased concentrations ... -
Glass Selection for High-Rise Buildings in the United Arab Emirates Considering Orientation and Window-to-Wall Ratio
(Elsevier, 2015)This paper is the continuation of a previous paper published by the authors. Both papers are for a study that considers the relationship among the glass thermal characteristics, its cost, and the price of electricity. This ... -
Glass Selection for High-Rise Residential Buildings in the United Arab Emirates based on Life Cycle Cost Analysis
(Elsevier, 2014)The architect's decision to select a glass type for a high rise building has significant impact on both the initial and the running cost of a building. This is particularly the case with many of the new buildings that have ... -
Global Oil Prices and the Impact of China
