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 ...
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 ...
A Decision Tool for Selecting a Sustainable Learning Technology Intervention
(National Taiwan Normal University, 2016)
Education is a basic human right. In pursuit of this right, governments in developing countries and their donors often invest scarce resources in educational initiatives that are sometimes not sustainable. This paper ...
Investigation of a fecal contamination of groundwater and surface water at Al Wasit Nature Reserve, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
(EM International, 2016)
Domestic waste contamination has adverse health effects and detrimental ecological impact. This paper presents the results of an investigation of domestic waste contamination; specifically fecal contamination of ground and ...
Geothermal Energy Use in Hydrogen Production
(Yildiz Technical University, 2016-04)
We propose the use of geothermal energy for hydrogen production and liquefaction, and investigate six possible models for accomplishing such a task. The models are studied thermodynamically in order to assess their performance ...
Struvite Recovery from Anaerobically Digested Dairy Manure: A Review of Application Potential and Hindrances
(Elsevier, 2016-03-15)
Anaerobically digested dairy manure is rich in ammonium, orthophosphates, and magnesium, indicating a high potential for struvite recovery. Continuous generation of large amounts of dairy manure plus increasing global ...
Application of eggplant peels powder for the removal of oil from produced water
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The removal efficiency of oil from simulated samples of produced water (SPW) was studied using a low-cost adsorbent eggplant peel powder (EPP). The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on the ...
Remediation of water from crude oil spill using a fibrous sorbent
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
Remediation of oil-polluted water was studied using waste tire cord fiber WTCF as a waste fibrous sorbent. The rate of sorption, sorption capacity, oil retention, water uptake, adsorption isotherm model, and kinetic behavior ...
Performance of cementitious materials produced by incorporating surface treated multiwall carbon nanotubes and silica fume
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
The outstanding mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) highlight them as potential candidates for cementitious material reinforcement. However, their low surface friction and the Van der Waals forces of attraction ...
Novel method for water purification using activated adsorbents developed from sewage sludge
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Sewage sludge from Dubai was characterized using inductively coupled plasma and CHN elemental analysis. Selected sludge samples were washed with deionized water until constant conductivity was achieved. The sludge samples ...
