(2014-01-19)The main objective of this report is to come up with Eco-Friendly Green Factories using different solutions as the waste produced by factories is harming the environment in numerous ways; noise pollution, air pollution, ... -
Economics of hydrogen production and liquefaction by geothermal energy
(2012-01)Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary ... -
Effect of culture of origin on the adjustment process
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2006)This paper is a synthesis of the author’s doctoral work on the impact of culture of origin on the three facets of expatriates' adjustment (work, interaction and general) and their antecedents (Waxin, 2000, 2003; Waxin ... -
Effect of Diverse Seismic Hazard Estimates on Performance and Overall Cost of RC Shear Wall Buildings in Dubai, UAE
(2016-01)During the last two decades or so, many iconic buildings have been built in Dubai as a result of the rapid economic growth. Unfortunately, several probabilistic seismic hazard studies are reporting substantially diverse ... -
Effect of nickel loading on hydrogen production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) destruction from glucose oxidation and gasification in supercritical water
(2010-05)Gasification and partial oxidation of 0.25 molar glucose solution was conducted over different metallic nickel (Ni) loadings (7.5, 11, and 18 wt%) on different catalyst supports (θ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3) in supercritical water. ... -
The Effect of Treated Waste-Water on Compaction and Compression of Fine Soil
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2016)The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of treated waste-water (TWW) on the compaction and compressibility properties of fine soil. Two types of fine soils (clayey soils) were selected for this study and ... -
Effective Approach for Increasing the Heteroatom Doping Levels of Porous Carbons for Superior CO2 Capture and Separation Performance
(ACS Publications, 2017-09-28)Development of efficient sorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gas or its removal from natural gas and landfill gas is very important for environmental protection. A new series of heteroatom-doped porous ... -
Effects of Autonomous Vehicles on Freeway Traffic Performance
(2018-10)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are smart transportation technologies that have drawn significant attention recently due to their rapid development and promising future. Dubai is trying to promote the use of AVs on its road ... -
Effects of habitat complexity on the abundance, species richness and size of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in artificial vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016-06)We deployed artificial vegetation with 4 different interstructural space widths (complexities): 6, 10, 14 and 27 mm. At the high levels of habitat complexity used in this study, the main effect of increasing complexity was ... -
Effects of harsh environmental exposures on the bond capacity between concrete and GFRP reinforcing bars
(2014-03)This paper demonstrates an experimental study to evaluate the effects of environmental exposures on the bond between ribbed Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars and concrete. The equation recommended ... -
Efficiency comparison of various design schemes for copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) hydrogen production processes using Aspen Plus software
(2012-11)In this study, simulation models are developed to analyze, design and optimize the Cu–Cl cycles using the Aspen PlusTM chemical process simulation package. Energy, exergy and yield effectiveness of the process, based on ... -
