An overview of load demand and price forecasting methodologies
(2011)
In this work, an overview of the various methodologies developed in recent years for short, mid and long term load and price forecasting is carried out. In the analysis the advantages and disadvantages of each method are ...
Efficiency of Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant towards Removal of Aspirin, Salicylic Acid, Paracetamol and p-Aminophenol
(2011-01)
The efficiency of membrane separation technology for wastewater treatment was employed to check its efficiency in removing pharmaceuticals, their degradation products and their metabolites from wastewater. Aspirin and ...
Evaluations of Sustainable Concepts in Civil Engineering Program
(2011)
Sustainability has been very critical for civil engineering graduates. A lack of understanding the fundamentals of sustainable material brings obstacles in implementing the concepts of sustainability ...
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 ...
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 ...
Performance assessment of an integrated PV/T and triple effect cooling system for hydrogen and cooling production
(2011-08)
In this paper we study an integrated PV/T absorption system for cooling and hydrogen production based on U.A.E weather data. Effect of average solar radiation for different months, operating time of the electrolyzer, air ...
A hybrid model for the optimum integration of renewable technologies in power generation systems
(2011-02)
The main purpose of this work is to assess the unavoidable increase in the cost of electricity of a generation system by the integration of the necessary renewable energy sources for power generation (RES-E) technologies ...
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: a new approach for sustainable hydrogen production via copper-chlorine thermochemical cycles
(2011-10)
Hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition is a potential process for direct utilization of nuclear thermal energy to increase efficiency and thereby facilitate energy savings. Thermochemical water splitting ...
Benthic development on large-scale engineered reefs: a comparison of communities among breakwaters of different age and natural reefs
(2011-02)
Breakwaters represent large-scale engineered artificial reefs that can develop diverse and abundant communities and are likely to play an increasing role in marine ecosystems as human populations grow in coastal urban ...
Integrating Sustainability Education in a Classical Civil Engineering Program: The Case of Transportation and Construction Courses
(2011-10)
Sustainability has emerged as a common theme in many processes related to urban life and the built environment. However, most engineering curricula still lacks the fundamentals of sustainable practices education that ...
