The Photocatalytic Degradation of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin in the Presence of Silver–Titanium Based Catalysts
(MDPI, 2020)Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) are persistent toxic compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment. The photodegradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the presence of silver titanium oxide ... -
Photocatalytic demulsification of oil/water emulsions containing nonionic surfactant
(Springer, 2020-11)Separation of oil-water (OW) emulsions is investigated using a photocatalytic demulsification approach. Experiments were conducted using two types of photocatalysts, namely, ZnO and TiO2. The emulsion samples were prepared ... -
Photocatalytic UV degradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in the presence of silver zeolite
(Springer, 2017-02-24)Silver clusters were introduced into the framework of zeolite Y. Low-temperature solid-state luminescence indicates the formation of silver–silver excimers and exciplexes that were found to be activated at 250 and 300 nm, ... -

Photovoltaic Nano-Crystal Energy Generation
(2014-01-19)Since larger, more ecofriendly energy accumulation is needed to sustain the world’s current energy outflow, the objective of this report is to examine the efficiency and ecological healthiness of photovoltaic nanotechnology ... -
Physicochemical Characterization and Seasonal Variations of PM10 Aerosols in a Harsh Environment
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)We have conducted a comprehensive sampling campaign of PM₁₀ pollutants at a site next to a major highway, using standard protocols. Particulate matter (PM) total mass, elemental and chemical/mineral compositions of the ... -
Phytoextraction of Cr(VI) from soil using Portulaca oleracea
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01)Cr(VI) represents an environmental challenge in both soil and water as it is soluble and bioavailable over a wide range of pH. In previous investigations, Portulaca oleracea (a plant local to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)) ... -
Piezoelectric Systems for Sheikh Zayed Road
(2014-07-22)UAE was ranked as 37 worldwide according to the amount of electricity consumption with an annual consumption of 70.58 billion KWh .The total cost of producing that amount of electricity has been estimated to be 11.33 billion ... -
Piezoelectricity with Photovoltaic (PV) Panels
(2016-11)Solar energy is one of the most sustainable sources of energy, and one way to harness it is using solar panels. They are also known as photovoltaic panels (PV). Many countries such as Germany, Italy, China and the United ... -
PIRATA: A Sustained Observing System for Tropical Atlantic Climate Research and Forecasting
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019)Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) is a multinational program initiated in 1997 in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding and ability to predict ocean‐atmosphere variability. ... -
Plannar Microwave Imaging System
(2011-05)Microwave signals have shown a tremendous utility in a wide variety of applications. Due to their penetrative nature, one of the most exciting applications of all is utilization of microwave signals to see through dielectric ... -
Planning and Operation of Smart EV Parking Lots
(2019-05)Aiming to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and to increase resources security, renewable resources and electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining a lot of global interest. Promoting the use of EVs for consumers requires ... -
Planning of Dynamic Wireless Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles
(2022-04)The pursuit of lower vehicle emissions has allowed the market share of electric vehicles (EVs) to rapidly increase, which has motivated researchers to develop several charging techniques, aiming to minimize the charging ... -
Platform Adoption by Mobile Application Developers: A Multimethodological Approach
(Elsevier, 2018-03)This paper investigates the factors that influence the adoption of IT platforms by software developers and how those factors differ from those that influence IT adoption by end-users. We take a multi-methodological approach, ... -

Polarimetric SAR Image Filtering by Infinite Number of Looks Prediction Technique
(IEEE, 2021)Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images is indispensable before the extraction of the useful information. The minimum mean square error estimate of the filtered pixels ... -
Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering
(IEEE, 2020)Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar polarimetry (PolSAR) is essential for the extraction of significant information. In this study, the authors introduced a hybrid iterative filtering scheme. The proposed iterative ... -
Political connections and the cost of equity capital
(Elsevier, 2012-01)Motivated by recent research on the costs and benefits of political connection, we examine the cost of equity capital of politically connected firms. Using propensity score matching models, we find that politically connected ... -
The political determinants of the cost of equity: Evidence from Privatization
(Wiley, 2012-01)In this paper, we investigate the political determinants of the cost of equity using a unique data set of 236 firms privatized between 1987 and 2006 in 38 countries. We find robust evidence that the cost of equity is ...
