The Use of Cutting-Stone-Slurry-Waste in Engineering Practice
(2010)
The paper studies the use of cutting stones-water-slurry-waste in engineering applications. Three types of selected clayey soils with different plasticity index and clay fraction were used. The initial physical properties ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Using a Novel Biofilter Media
(2010-02)
Air emissions from waste treatment plants often consist of a combination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odors. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the major odorous gases present in the waste emissions coming from municipal ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Optimal sizing of modular air-cooled condensers for CSP plants
(2013-01)
In this work, a parametric optimization analysis of various innovative modular air-cooled condenser systems is carried out in order to identify the optimum system configuration and size to be used as the cooling system in ...
A Parametric Study on the Backwater Level Due to a Bridge Constriction
(Waset, 2015-03)
This paper presents the results and findings from a parametric study on the water surface elevation at upstream of bridge constriction for subcritical flow. In this study, the influence of Manning's Roughness Coefficient ...
