Soil remediation from waste lubricating oil
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
Soil remediation was investigated from waste oil contamination. Contamination of different soil particle diameters was prepared with different dosage of waste oil contamination. Solvent extraction technique was employed ...
Kinetic and thermodynamic study of phosphate removal from water by adsorption onto (Arundo donax) reeds
(SAGE Publications, 2018-02-01)
The adsorption of phosphate ion onto natural reed (Arundo donax) was studied in this work. The effect of phosphate initial concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, temperature, and salt addition on adsorption uptake was investigated. ...
Energy Management of a Multi-Source Power System
(2018-05)
Many industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to carry out their daily operations. The transportation industry alone is responsible for consuming two thirds of the oil used around the world. As fossil fuel deposits ...
The Use of Lime to Stabilize Clay Soil against Internal Erosion
(2018-12)
Internal erosion failure of soils in hydraulic structures is one of the most catastrophic failures in civil engineering projects. Therefore, it is vital to stabilize the soil against this phenomenon. Different materials ...
Minimizing Traffic Congestion through V2V Communication
(2018-01)
With the rising level of vehicular traffic congestion, it is important to find a way to manage these congestions at an early stage. Connected vehicle technology is a potential solution that can significantly improve traffic ...
Membrane Bioreactor-Desalination Microbial Fuel Cell Hybrid System
(2018-04)
The microbial desalination fuel cell (MDFC) is an emerging desalination technology offering great promise of high salinity removal with zero energy input. Moreover, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) is of great reliability in ...
Thermo-Economic Evaluation of Maisotsenko-Desiccant Cooling Systems for Gas Turbine Power Plants
(2018-10)
With the everlasting increase in population, a huge surge in the electricity consumption has been recorded. Thus, power plants manufacturers and utility companies need to augment the plants performance to cope with these ...
Does Foreign Direct Investment Promote Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)
This paper used time-series data to investigate the causal relation between foreign direct investment and economic growth in two MENA countries, namely Egypt and Jordan. The methodology used in this study follows Toda and ...
Social Cohesion and Optimal Redistribution in Economies with Long-Run Growth
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)
We suggest that as social cohesion improves, the macroeconomic gains from progressive redistribution decline. Social interactions facilitate diffusion of nonrival knowledge. The consequent bridging of the knowledge gaps ...
Forecasting Energy Demand: The Case of United Arab Emirates
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)
The purpose of this study is to forecast energy use in United Arab Emirates (UAE) using annual data over the period 1976-2009. The methodology used in this study follows the artificial neural networks analyses. We use four ...
