MaterialNature: An Opportunistic Paradigm of Architecture and Landscape Ecology
(CUBE Srl, 2017-11)
In this space, small-scale coastal erosion, and natural growth become the vehicle for project based architectural speculation that leverages the resources of local landscapes and creates a new architectural trajectory based ...
Photocatalytic UV degradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in the presence of silver zeolite
(Springer, 2017-02-24)
Silver clusters were introduced into the framework of zeolite Y. Low-temperature solid-state luminescence indicates the formation of silver–silver excimers and exciplexes that were found to be activated at 250 and 300 nm, ...
Civil Engineering Volunteerism: Assisting Developing Countries Stem the Tide of Economic Migration
(ASCE Library, 2017-10)
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
Modelling and performance analysis of biomass fast pyrolysis in a solar-thermal reactor
(ACS Publications, 2017-04-05)
Solar-thermal conversion of biomass through pyrolysis process is an alternative option to storing energy in the form of liquid fuel, gas, and biochar. Fast pyrolysis is a highly endothermic process and essentially requires ...
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.
Dispersion of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions from a Biofilter at an Electronic Manufacturing Facility
(Wiley, 2017-03-01)
Printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing industries, known as PCB facilities, emit odorous and toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Such compounds not only harm the health but also create a nuisance environment for ...
Removal of benzo (a) anthracene from water using a novel UAE sludge-based activated adsorbent
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)
A new adsorbent material from sewage sludge of relatively high surface area (2,230 m2/g) was prepared by carbonization and chemical activation using steam at controlled semi-static conditions. The pore size distributions ...
Thermo-economic analysis of an integrated solar power generation system using nanofluids
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)
In this paper, a thermo-economic analysis of an Integrated Solar Regenerative Rankine Cycle (ISRRC) is performed. The ISRRC consists of a nanofluid-based Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC), and a Thermal Energy Storage ...
Smart City and Smart Tourism: A Case of Dubai
(MDPI, 2017-12-08)
Over the past decade, the advent of new technology has brought about the emergence of smart cities aiming to provide their stakeholders with technology-based solutions that are effective and efficient. Insofar as the ...
A New Extension of Generalized Exponential Distribution with Application to Ozone Data
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
In this article, a new distribution, called transformed Generalized Exponential Distribution () is proposed. The distribution has simple closed forms pdf and cdf. Several properties of the distribution are studied including ...
