Comparative Evaluation of Membrane Filtration on the Tertiary Treatment of Synthetic Secondary Effluent
(MDPI, 2022-02)Wastewater reuse is essential for sustainable water management. However, it requires tertiary treatment within the plant to ensure suitable water quality. This project aims to investigate the comparative performance of ... -
A comparative overview of large-scale battery systems for electricity storage
(2013-11)In this work, an overview of the different types of batteries used for large-scale electricity storage is carried out. In particular, the current operational large-scale battery energy storage systems around the world with ... -
A comparative overview of wet and dry cooling systems for Rankine cycle based CSP plants
(2013-01)Today, the combination of global warming and volatile conventional fuel prices are key factors in driving investment in electricity generation plants based on the concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. With ... -
A Comparative Study between Modals in ESL/EFL Tertiary Textbooks and Actual Use by EFL Teachers
(2008-06)Teaching English modals to young adult and adult learners of English as a foreign language (EFL learners) is pedagogically a challenging task because some ESL/EFL tertiary textbooks do not present modals and their uses ... -
Comparative study for different Demister Location in Multi Stage Flash (MSF) Flash Chamber (FC)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02)Multistage flash (MSF) is a widely used technology in large capacity salted water desalination plants. The enhancement in the thermal performance of this technology is still prospective and promising. In this research, ... -
A Comparative Study for Various Coil Geometries in Electric Vehicle Wireless Charging System.
(2020-11)Inductive coupling wireless power transfer technology is gaining interest in recent years, especially in the field of wireless charging. Range limitations and charging of electric vehicles are major concerns in the modern ... -
Comparative Study of Control Strategies for Under Actuated Manipulator
(2006-06)Underactuated mechanical systems are systems with fewer control inputs (actuators) than degrees of freedom. They arise in many applications such as underwater robots, mobile robots and manipulators with passive joints. ... -
A Comparative Study of Energy Performance in Educational Buildings in the UAE
(UTS ePRESS, 2021)Sustainability has gained popularity and importance around the globe due to the ever-increasing effects of climate change and global warming on Earth. As of the 21st century, human endeavour has caused an enormous amount ... -
Comparative Study of Several Energy Dissipating Devices
(2011-11)Large plastic lateral collapse problem of two geometrically identical hollow cylinders under compressive load is of particular interest in this work, since, the energy absorbed can be characterized by a smooth loaded ... -
Comparing microbubble cavitation at 500 kHz and 70 kHz related to micellar drug delivery using ultrasound
(Elsevier, 2013)We have previously reported that ultrasonic drug release at 70 kHz was found to correlate with the presence of subharmonic emissions. No evidence of drug release or of the subharmonic emissions were detected in experiments ... -
Comparison of diesel emission experiments in view of the environment: A case study at Dubai
(2012)Because of the nature of the diesel engine combustion process, such engines produce more toxic emissions, more visible smoke and odour than gasoline engines. This has led to an increasing concern about the possible effects ... -
Comparison of Energy Efficiency Strategies for Mosques in the United Arab Emirates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As public buildings that are typically financed by charities, mosques are commonly designed, built, and operated using very limited resources. Hence, failure to design energy efficient mosques either affects occupants' ... -
Comparison of Whole-class Discussion and Task-based Activity: A Small-Scale Study
(2020-05)This study examined the participation patterns and effectiveness of two different sets of materials applied with two different treatments: Treatment 1 consisted of a Task-based activity; Treatment 2 used a whole-class ... -
Complete Set of Self-Assessment Guides (SAGs)
(Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS), 2017)This downloadable electronic package contains all 45 functional area SAGs and contextual statements, a PowerPoint for presentations, and resources on conducting self-assessment. Each electronic SAG file includes a contextual ... -
Complex anaphora with this: variation between three written argumentative genres
(Edinburgh University Press, 2017)The concept of complex anaphora - ‘nominal expressions referring to propositionally structured referents’ (Consten et al., 2007) - makes a useful distinction between a text-structuring function, one important to argumentative ... -
Compound distributions for financial returns
(PLOS, 2020)In this paper, we propose six Student’s t based compound distributions where the scale parameter is randomized using functional forms of the half normal, Fréchet, Lomax, Burr III, inverse gamma and generalized gamma ... -
