Sequential batch contactors for removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using sheep's wool
(2017-05)
The effluent streams of various industries contain heavy metals like chromium. The hexavalent form of it is highly toxic, which needs specific intensive treatment before disposal. Sheep’s wool, as a keratinous adsorbent, ...
Treatment of Spent Caustic Using Ionic Liquids
(2017-04)
Treatment of spent caustic (SC) wastes from downstream of refineries and petrochemical industries is not only complex but also highly expensive due to its content of high concentration of hazardous compounds, high pH, ...
Development of Activated Carbon Fibers for Organic Removals
(2017-11)
Phenols are classified to be one of the most hazardous pollutants found in wastewater. They are discharged into rivers, lakes and seas, causing adverse effects on the enviromental and human health. Adsorption is a well-known ...
Membrane Bioreactor-Desalination Microbial Fuel Cell Hybrid System
(2018-04)
The microbial desalination fuel cell (MDFC) is an emerging desalination technology offering great promise of high salinity removal with zero energy input. Moreover, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) is of great reliability in ...
Anticipated Discrimination, Choices, and Performance: Experimental evidence
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)
This paper studies experimentally anticipated discrimination across gender, hiring patterns, and performance in tasks with different stereotypes in a labor-market setting. Participants are assigned to a seven-people group ...
Optimizing Energy Consumption of Cloud Computing IaaS

Minimizing Traffic Congestion through V2V Communication
(2018-01)
With the rising level of vehicular traffic congestion, it is important to find a way to manage these congestions at an early stage. Connected vehicle technology is a potential solution that can significantly improve traffic ...
Endogenous Sanctioning Institutions and Migration Patterns: Experimental Evidence
(University of Exeter, 2017)
We experimentally analyze the effect of the endogenous choice of sanctioning institutions on cooperation and migration patterns across societies. In our experiment, subjects are allocated to one of two groups, are endowed ...
Energy Management of a Multi-Source Power System
(2018-05)
Many industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to carry out their daily operations. The transportation industry alone is responsible for consuming two thirds of the oil used around the world. As fossil fuel deposits ...
