Women's Role in Economic Development in Predominantly Muslim Countries
(2012-09)
We discuss the role of women in the development of predominantly Muslim countries, with
reference to economics from several perspectives: First, we study the interrelations between
certain characteristics of a society ...
Heat rate curve approximation for power plants without data measuring devices
(2012)
In this work, a numerical method, based on the one-dimensional finite difference technique, is proposed
for the approximation of the heat rate curve, which can be applied for power plants in which no data
acquisition is ...
Pyrene-directed growth of nanoporous benzimidazole-linked nanofibers and their application to selective CO2 capture and separation
(2012-11)
A pyrene-based benzimidazole-linked polymer (BILP-10) has been synthesized by the co-condensation of 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine tetrahydrochloride in dimethylformamide. The use of ...
Performance Assessment of a Liquid-Phase-Separation Refrigeration Cycle
(Wiley, 2012-10)
Absorption refrigeration cycles are alternatives to conventional vapor-compression cycles in which the energy required for refrigeration is provided by heat instead of mechanical work. In this paper, a novel refrigeration ...
Concentration of Selected Anions in Bottled Water in the United Arab Emirates
(2012-05)
Several studies have shown concern over nitrate and nitrite contamination of prepared infant formula used by infants less than six months old, as it may lead to methemoglobinemia and death. One possible source of contamination ...
Economics of hydrogen production and liquefaction by geothermal energy
(2012-01)
Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary ...
Development Aid to Agriculture and Economic Growthrod
(2012-04)
The link between foreign aid and economic growth has been a controversial issue with no strong consensus so far. This paper argues that a possible reason why some studies may conclude that aid is ineffective in promoting ...
A biofilter design tool for hydrogen sulfide removal calculations
(2012-08)
Biofilters have been used for decades in the management of nuisance odors that are emitted from the collection and treatment systems of municipal sewage works. Typically hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been identified as the ...
Modeling and dynamic analysis of a membrane bioreactor withbackwash scheduling
(2012-03)
A dynamic model, based on mass transport and reaction rate laws of biomass and substrate for a membrane bioreactor (MBR), was successfully developed. Furthermore, an empirical model for flux prediction was used. Key kinetic ...
Integrated hydrogen production options based on renewable and nuclear energy sources
(2012-10)
Due to varied global challenges, potential energy solutions are needed to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability. Many of the renewable energy resources are of limited applicability due to their reliability, ...
