Lipophilic Metabolites and Anatomical Acclimatization of Cleome amblyocarpa in the Drought and Extra-Water Areas of the Arid Desert of UAE
(MDPI, 2019)
Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by developing structural and metabolic mechanisms. In this study, anatomical features and lipophilic metabolites were investigated in Cleome amblyocarpa Barr. & Murb., ...
Multi-Facility Inventory System Management for Repairable Items
(2019-07)
Multi-Facility inventory system for repairable items is used for the management of critical spare parts for durable equipment where a repair facility is considered along with several operating facilities. This inventory ...
An Investigation of Links Between Transport Choices and Health: A Case Study in the UAE
(2019-04)
This research examines the relationship between transport/travel choices-- as default decisions that are decidedly influenced by the built environment-- and public health in the UAE. The objective of the research is two-fold: ...
Gut bacteria of Cuora amboinensis (turtle) produce broad-spectrum antibacterial molecules
(Nature Research, 2019)
Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human health, hence there is an urgent need to discover antibacterial molecule(s). Previously, we hypothesized that microbial gut flora of animals are a potential source of ...
Stage-discharge relationship in two-stage channels
(2019-07)
Predicting the stage-discharge relationship in a flood event is an important concern. Once the flow exceeds the bank level in a two-stage channel, there is a momentum transfer that occurs at the interface between the main ...
Challenges of retrofitting affordable housing to net-zero carbon in the United Arab Emirates
(IOP Science, 2019)
Following the Paris Agreement, several governmental bodies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started working on further initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Some of these hope to target net-zero carbon ...
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 ...
Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)
Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ...
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 ...
Operation of Battery Exchange Stations for Electric Vehicles
(2019-05)
Due to environmental and energy security concerns, low emission vehicles present a vital necessity for clean transportation. In particular, Electric Vehicles (EV) are the most promising solution due to the fact that the ...
