Sustainable Management of Organic Wastes in Sharjah, UAE through Co-Composting
(MDPI, 2020)Daily human activities and vast green areas produce substantial amounts of organic wastes that end up in landfills with minimal treatment. In addition to the problems associated with landfills, disposal through this method ... -
Towards Monitoring of Nutrient Pollution in Coastal Lake Using Remote Sensing and Regression Analysis
(MDPI, 2020)The last few decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in nutrient levels (phosphorus and nitrogen) in coastal water leading to excessive algal growth (Eutrophication). The presence of large amounts of algae turns the ... -
Suppressing the Capacitor Voltage Fluctuations in Low Frequency Operation of Modular Multilevel Converters
(IEEE, 2020)Lowfrequency operation in the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) is enabled by applying a reference common mode voltage and circulating currents at a frequency much higher than the desired output frequency. The frequency ... -
A New Data-Based Dust Estimation Unit for PV Panels
(MDPI, 2020)Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust ... -
Thermal Conductivities of Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents and Their Mixtures with Water: Measurement and Estimation
(MDPI, 2020)The thermal conductivities of selected deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were determined using the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method over the temperature range from 295 K to 363 K at atmospheric pressure. The results ... -
Hybrid Look-Up-Tables Based Behavioral Model for Dynamic Nonlinear Power Amplifiers
(IEEE, 2020)A new look-up table based behavioral model for dynamic nonlinear power amplifiers is proposed. This model labelled as hybrid look-up tables model is based on the combination of a memoryless look-up table sub-model and a ... -
Optimization of a Confined Jet Geometry to Improve Film Cooling Performance Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
(MDPI, 2020)This study investigates the interrelated parameters affecting heat transfer from a hot gas flowing on a flat plate while cool air is injected adjacent to the flat plate. The cool air forms an air blanket that shield the ... -
Modeling of fiber bridging in fluid flow for well stimulation applications
(Springer, 2020)Accurate acid placement constitutes a major concern in matrix stimulation because the acid tends to penetrate the zones of least resistance while leaving the low-permeability regions of the formation untreated. Degradable ... -
A Micromorphic Beam Theory for Beams with Elongated Microstructures
(Nature, 2020)A novel micromorphic beam theory that considers the exact shape and size of the beam’s microstructure is developed. The new theory complements the beam theories that are based on the classical mechanics by modeling the ... -
Spatiotemporal Mapping and Monitoring of Mangrove Forests Changes From 1990 to 2019 in the Northern Emirates, UAE Using Random Forest, Kernel Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes Tree Models
(Frontiers, 2020)Mangrove forests are acting as a green lung for the coastal cities of the United Arab Emirates, providing a habitat for wildlife, storing blue carbon in sediment and protecting shoreline. Thus, the first step toward ... -
Land Use/Land Cover Changes Impact on Groundwater Level and Quality in the Northern Part of the United Arab Emirates
(MDPI, 2020)This study aims to develop an integrated approach for mapping and monitoring land use/land cover (LULC) changes and to investigate the impacts of LULC changes and population growth on groundwater level and quality using ... -
