Inland Treatment of the Brine Generated from Reverse Osmosis Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant Using Epuvalisation System
(2013-07)The reverse osmosis (RO) brine generated from the Al-Quds University wastewater treatment plant was treated using an epuvalisation system. The advanced integrated wastewater treatment plant included an activated sludge ... -
Innovative inlet air cooling technology for gas turbine power plants using integrated solid desiccant and Maisotsenko cooler
(Elsevier, 2015-07)Gas turbine thermal efficiency has significant dependency on climatic conditions. Evaporative cooling is commonly utilized as an inlet air cooling technique in hot and dry climates though an increase in atmospheric humidity ... -
Integrated economic and environmental models for a multi stage cold supply chain under carbon tax regulation
(Elsevier, 2017-11-10)The elevated level of public and organizations awareness concerning sustainability has necessitated the adoption of environmentally conscious practices in the management of supply chains. As such, classical inventory models ... -
Integrated hydrogen production options based on renewable and nuclear energy sources
(2012-10)Due to varied global challenges, potential energy solutions are needed to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability. Many of the renewable energy resources are of limited applicability due to their reliability, ... -
Integrating Sustainability Education in a Classical Civil Engineering Program: The Case of Transportation and Construction Courses
(2011-10)Sustainability has emerged as a common theme in many processes related to urban life and the built environment. However, most engineering curricula still lacks the fundamentals of sustainable practices education that ... -
Integration des expatries dans leur nouveau poste : une analyse contingente et quantitative
(Presses HEC, 1997)L’expatriation est une forme particulière de transfert (Feldman et Thompson, 1992; Carter, 1989). Plusieurs études (Hall, 1990; d’Iribarne, 1989) montrent que les différences inter-culturelles peuvent avoir des implications ... -
Intelligence and Environmental Emissions
(Elsevier, 2014-05)We hypothesize that more intelligent people are likely to forgo proximal choices for more important distal alternatives with respect to the environment, consistent with the delay discounting rationale. We undertake an ... -
Intergenerational and Intercultural Differences in Work Values in Quebec and the United Arab Emirates
(Université Laval, 2011)The purpose of this research is to examine whether differences exist in the work values of several generations among 186 respondents in Quebec and 252 Arab respondents in the United Arab Emirates. We used an abridged version ... -
International Diversification and Corporate Social Responsibility
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-11-07)Using a large sample of 3,040 U.S. firms and 16,606 firm-year observations over the 1991-2010 period, we find strong evidence that firm internationalization is positively related to the firm's corporate social responsibility ... -
Investigating the use of green design parameters in UAE construction projects
(2015)Construction practices tend to have an adverse impact on the environment through their contribution to CO2 emission, increased waste and energy consumption. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched many initiatives to ... -
Investigation of a fecal contamination of groundwater and surface water at Al Wasit Nature Reserve, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
(EM International, 2016)Domestic waste contamination has adverse health effects and detrimental ecological impact. This paper presents the results of an investigation of domestic waste contamination; specifically fecal contamination of ground and ... -
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: a new approach for sustainable hydrogen production via copper-chlorine thermochemical cycles
(2011-10)Hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition is a potential process for direct utilization of nuclear thermal energy to increase efficiency and thereby facilitate energy savings. Thermochemical water splitting ... -
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: Comparative evaluation of hydrogen production options with a regenerative fuel cell system
(2015-08)Hydrogen has risen as a sustainable and efficient energy carrier option in reducing environmental pollution, and is seen as a potential solution for the current energy crisis. Hydrogen production via water decomposition ... -
Investigation of Energy Storage Batteries in Stability Enforcement of Low Inertia Active Distribution Network
