Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal using schist packings in industrial biofilter applications
(2015-01)Expanded schist can be a promising biofilter media for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) removal in industrial applications. In this work, H2S removal performance of a biofilter packed with expanded schist is compared with a patented ... -
Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Using a Novel Biofilter Media
(2010-02)Air emissions from waste treatment plants often consist of a combination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odors. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the major odorous gases present in the waste emissions coming from municipal ... -
Hydrogen Supplement Co-combustion with Diesel in 2 Compression Ignition Engine
(Elsevier, 2015-10)The present work investigates experimentally the behavior of compression ignition engine while boosting the combustion by enriching air-intake manifold with hydrogen supplement at the atmospheric condition. The study reports ... -
Hydrogeology of Wadi Wurayah, United Arab Emirates, and its importance for biodiversity and local communities
(2011)Wadi Wurayah, in the Emirate of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, lies within the Hajar Mountain range by the Gulf of Oman. The climate of the area is influenced by climatic events originating in Africa, Eastern Europe-Siberia, ... -
Hydrologic Design Aid For Urban Grass Filter Strip
(Wiley, 2015-11-19)A set of generalised charts are presented in this article as a design aid for hydrologic sizing of grass filter strips. The charts express the volume of runoff and the peak flow rate from a grass strip and the residence ... -
Hydrologic Modeling of Urban Vegetative Filter Strips
(2014-01)This paper presents a set of generalized charts that can be used as an aid for quick hydrologic evaluation of vegetative filter strips to determine the runoff residence time and reductions in storm runoff volume and peak ... -
Identifying Employee Turnover Risks Using Modified Quality Function Deployment
(2014-06)Employee turnover is costly in terms of direct costs and indirect costs faced by organizations. Thus, researchers have investigated turnover for more than two decades. Different methods have been proposed to identify ... -
The impact of bank competition and concentration on industrial growth
(Elsevier, 2014-07)This paper studies whether bank competition affects growth of non-banking industries. We find that non-cooperative bank competition and stability promote industrial growth robustly. Bank concentration may also affect growth ... -
Impact of Energy Storage Systems on the Management of Fault Current at LV Network with High Penetration of Distributed Generation
(International Journal of Smart Grid and Clean Energy, 2017-07)Penetration level of renewable energy such as solar and wind power into the grid is sharply increasing worldwide. This paper investigates the impact of the increasing level of distributed generation (DG) on the distribution ... -
The impact of expatriate's home country culture on their time to proficiency : empirical evidence from the Indian context
(Tennessee State University College of Business, 2016)The time required by expatriates to become proficient in their new positions is important to both employers and employees. The existing literature on expatriate success is largely blind to what may be significant factors ... -
Impact of Lateral Force-Resisting System and Design/Construction Practices on Seismic Performance and Cost of Tall Buildings in Dubai, UAE
(Springer, 2013-09)The local design and construction practices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), together with Dubai's unique rate of development, warrant special attention to the selection of Lateral Force-Resisting Systems (LFRS). This ... -
Impacts of Feeder Reconfiguration on Renewable Resources Allocation in Balanced and Unbalanced Distribution Systems
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)In this article, network reconfiguration and distributed generation allocation in distribution networks are dealt with simultaneously while imposing an objective of minimizing energy loss. The proposed method, which is ... -
The Impacts of the Informal Sector on the Economics of the Municipal Waste Management System in Lagos State: An Overview of its Income Generation Potentials for the Vulnerable Urban Poor in Developing Countries
(International Knowledge Press, 2017-04-07)The dustbin economy is prevalent in most major cities of the developing countries especially in Lagos State Nigeria, where the urban poor partake in informal economic activities of waste materials to earn a living. This ... -
The Importance of Acetonitrile in the Pharmaceutical Industry and Opportunities for its Recovery from Waste
(2012-02)Acetonitrile is regarded as a key solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the volatility in acetonitrile supply in recent years, coupled with its relatively poor environmental profile, has presented significant ... -
Improvement of greenhouse by reducing gas emissions using replacement policy
(2013-01)This study aims to build a vehicle replacement model for air quality improvement by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. The model based on linear programming with the objective to reduce the total cost considering ... -
In-Vehicle Performance Validation of the Semi-Active Hybrid Energy Storage System
(2015)A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) consisting of high-energy-density batteries and high-power-density Ultra-capacitors (UCs) can perform better than a battery alone powering an Electric Vehicle. Hybrid energy storage ... -
Inflation expectations and energy price forecasting
