(2011-07)In this paper, the performance of wind energy system is assessed thermodynamically, from resource and technology perspectives. The thermodynamic characteristics of wind through energy and exergy analyses are considered and ... -
Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ... -
Trace metals, PAHs, and PCBs in sediments from the Jobos Bay area in Puerto Rico
(2010-08)This study provides baseline information on the extent of contamination in sediments of the Jobos Bay estuary and surrounding areas in Puerto Rico. Sediments from Jobos Bay area (n = 14) had higher overall average ... -
Trans-Eurasian energy transportation networks and the necessity of regional cooperation
(CAUCASUS International, 2016)The Central Asia-Transcaspian region is rich in energy resources. However, these resources cannot be fully developed without fostering international cooperation. The ‘pipeline wars’ between competing consortia is not ... -
Transnational Links in Rhino Poaching and the Black Market Price of Rhino Horns
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)The trends of rhino poaching in South Africa and India – major range states – have been remarkably similar over time. Organized criminal syndicates manage an illegal supply chain of rhino horns from poachers, middlemen, ... -
Treatment of high salinity solutions: Application of air gap membrane distillation
(2012-02)Air Gap Membrane Distillation, using a high concentration of NaCl, MgCl2, Na2CO3, and Na2SO4, is implemented in this study. Permeate fluxes are measured for different feed concentrations and membrane pore sizes (0.2 and ... -
