A localized navigation algorithm for radiation evasion for nuclear facilities: Optimizing the "Radiation Evasion" criterion: Part I
(2013-06)In this paper, we introduce a navigation algorithm having general utility for occupational workers at nuclear facilities and places where radiation poses serious health hazards. This novel algorithm leverages the use of ... -
Management and control of air emissions from electronic industries
(2014-01)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including acetone, dichloromethane, ethanol, ethylene glycol, iso-propyl alcohol, and several other aromatic compounds are emitted during the manufacturing processes in electronic industries. ... -
Marine Sponges, Other Animal Food, and Nonfood Items Found in Digestive Tracts of the Herbivorous Marine Turtle Chelonia mydas in Hawai'i
(2011-07)Although the usual diet of Chelonia mydas comes from algae and sea grasses (plant material), animal material has been found in samples taken over the past 35 yr. The small black-brown protein sponge Chondrosia chucalla ... -

Material Selection and Process Design Optimization Framework under Closed-Loop Supply Chain
(2012-01)With an industrial era characterized by new regulations aiming at protecting costumers and the global environment, manufacturers have to be more effective in delivering products that meet customers requirement but also, ... -
MaterialNature: An Opportunistic Paradigm of Architecture and Landscape Ecology
(CUBE Srl, 2017-11)In this space, small-scale coastal erosion, and natural growth become the vehicle for project based architectural speculation that leverages the resources of local landscapes and creates a new architectural trajectory based ... -
Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Breakthrough Curves of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Metal Organic Framework CPM-5
(ACS, 2013-07)It is essential to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas because it is considered one of the main causes of global warming. Several materials and different methods have been reported for CO2 capturing including adsorption ... -
A Measure of Capacity Contribution of Static Mono-Si Photovoltaic Systems
(2013-05)Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity in the daytime when system demand is generally moderate to high. For Mediterranean countries, there is also seasonal coincidence of high system demand and high PV load factors. ... -
Mechanical and phytochemical protection mechanisms of Calligonum comosum in arid deserts
(Public Library of Science, 2018)Unlike animals, plants are sessile organisms, lacking circulating antibodies and specialized immune cells and are exposed to various harsh environmental conditions that make them at risk of being attacked by different ... -
Medical Waste Management and Control
(2012-12)Medical centers including hospitals, clinics and places where diagnosis and treatment are conducted generate wastes that are highly hazardous and put people under risk of fatal diseases. Although the understanding of medical ... -
Merging green infrastructure with the design of public open spaces: A brief literature review
(Universitätsverlag der Technischen Universität Berlin, 2011)The advent of new green infrastructure systems (decentralized, small-scaled facilities and spaces to produce energy, food, water, recycle wastewater, and dispose of organic waste based on renewable energy sources) offers ... -
Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ... -
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ... -
Microbial Removal from Secondary Treated Wastewater Using a Hybrid System of Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis
(2012-07)The efficiency of advanced membranes towards removal of general and specific microbes from wastewater was investigated. The treatment included a subsequent system of activated sludge, ultrafiltration (hollow fibre membranes ... -
