Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ... -
Urban Resilience and Planning Support Systems: The Need for Sentience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-03)Developing resilience in built human environments is a complex undertaking. It requires decision support tools that can convey complexities in meaningful and understandable ways. Building smart cities and generating big ... -
The Use of Cutting-Stone-Slurry-Waste in Engineering Practice
(2010)The paper studies the use of cutting stones-water-slurry-waste in engineering applications. Three types of selected clayey soils with different plasticity index and clay fraction were used. The initial physical properties ... -
Use of desalinated reject water as a source of magnesium for phosphorus recovery
(2013-06)In this study, the formation potential of struvite has been assessed using synthetic centrate mixed with reject water of a local desalination plant. NH4H2PO4, MgCl2 .6H2O,and NH4Cl were mixed in specific concentrations to ... -
Use of Natural and Modified Jordanian Zeolitic Tuff for Removal of Cadmium(II) from Aqueous Solutions
(2014-10)The possibility of using natural and modified Jordanian zeolite for removal of cadmium as a model component of heavy metals has been considered. Bench-scale tests using both aqueous solutions and real water under different ... -
Using Linear Regression and Back Propagation Neural Networks to Predict Performance of Soiled PV Modules
(Elsevier, 2019)This paper presents a study on neural network-based modeling techniques and sensor data to estimate the power output of photovoltaic systems under soiling conditions. Predicting maximum power output under soiling conditions ... -
Using oil shale ash waste as a modifier for asphalt binders
(2013-10)Oil shale rocks represent one of the most available sources of energy. Jordan land contains about 50 billion tons of oil shale, which makes Jordan the third in the world of the reserve of this material. Oil shale ash is a ... -
Viscous-Gravity Spreading of Oil on Water: Modeling and Challenges
(Wiley, 2014-04)Oil spreading is one of the major factors affecting the fate of oil spills on water. Modeling spreading is required to study the impact of oil slicks on the environment and plants using sea water including desalination ... -
Volatile compounds produced by Calotropis procera (Family: Asclepiadaceae] leaves that aid in the repulsion of grazers
(2011-09)Calotropis procera, a desert shrub with large succulent leaves, but without protective spines, was investigated for volatile substances that aid in repelling grazing animals. It was found that fresh C.perocieraleaves ... -
Water desalination by forward (direct) osmosis phenomenon: A comprehensive review
(2015)Forward osmosis (FO) is a developing technology, which is thought to have a potential of producing potable water in an energy-efficient manner. FO is driven by the natural osmotic pressure difference across a semi-permeable ... -
Who is to Interpret the Anthropocene? Nature and Culture in the Academy
(RIVISTA ONLINE DI FI LOSOFIA, 2016)It is somewhat ironic that just when scholars seem to be reaching an academic consensus critiquing the human exceptionalism of modern humanism, and to be replacing such an exceptionalism with a contextual and processual ... -
Women's Role in Economic Development in Predominantly Muslim Countries
(2012-09)We discuss the role of women in the development of predominantly Muslim countries, with reference to economics from several perspectives: First, we study the interrelations between certain characteristics of a society ... -
Women, work and management in the Middle East
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019)The role and position of women in the Middle East continues to be the subject of much interest in discussion in the public arena and despite questions about their under-representation in work and management, their experiences ... -
