(Greenleaf Publishing, 2016-06)The Developing Field of business and peace has largely focused on three research streams: theory, quantitative analyses of perceptions, and qualitative analyses of company actions grounded in other fields such as political ... -
Adding Sliding Solar Panels to a Hybrid Car
(2014-01-19)In our project, a hybrid solar car will be redesigned in order to increase the efficiency, reduce the carbon emissions, and minimize the cost. Our hybrid car design will consist of two solar panels on the roof of the car. ... -
The adjustability of the expatriate manager: proposal of an improved measurement scale
(European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management, 2005)The adjustability of expatriate managers has a major influence on the success or failure of their mission. Yet, because of the difficulty of measuring this antecedent, it does not always receive the attention that it ... -
Adsorptive Desulfurization of Commercial Diesel oil Using Granular Activated Charcoal
(2015)The adsorption of sulfur compounds form commercial diesel oil on a granular activated charcoal (GAC) was investigated. The equilibrium of sulfur adsorption on GAC was examined. The adsorption isotherms were determined and ... -
Adsorptive Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solutions Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
(2019-04)Synthetic dyes are commonly found in industrial wastewater due to their wide application as colorants in the textile, paper, food, leather and plastic industries. Among the various treatment methods, adsorption is generally ... -

Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ... -
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine bottoming cycle
(Elsevier, 2015-03)Maisotsenko gas turbine cycle (MGTC) is a recently proposed humid air turbine cycle. An air saturator is employed for air heating and humidification purposes in MGTC. In this paper, MGTC is integrated as the bottoming cycle ... -
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine power cycle with a detailed air saturator model
(Elsevier, 2015-07)With ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, the improvement in gas turbine power cycle efficiency is needed due to the tremendous savings in fuel consumption. Water/steam injection is considered as one of ... -
Analysis of Water Evaporation and Drift Losses during Irrigation in Semi-arid Areas of Sharjah (UAE) and Riyadh (KSA)
(Springer, 2012-06)Water evaporation and wind drift losses mainly depend on air relative humidity, air and water temperature, drop size, and wind speed. Evaporation and drift loss during water application by means of sprinkle irrigation was ... -
