Both decreasing interstructural space size and increasing total cover increase shrimp abundance on artificial structures deployed in a UAE seagrass bed
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01)
We tested whether total cover and interstructural space size affect the abundances of mobile fauna colonizing small artificial structures deployed in a seagrass bed near Dubai, UAE, during May and September 2011. There ...
Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zeolites, Porcelanite and Sands: Correlation of Morphology and Chemical Composition to Batch Removal Efficiency
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-03)
Chemical compositions of natural zeolites, porcelanite (opal-CT) and local sands were determined
by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and correlated with their Pb(II) removal efficiencies. Zeolites and
porcelanite were from the ...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal using schist packings in industrial biofilter applications
(2015-01)
Expanded schist can be a promising biofilter media for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) removal in industrial applications. In this work, H2S removal performance of a biofilter packed with expanded schist is compared with a patented ...
Statistical analysis of air-gap membrane desalination experimental data: Hypothesis testing
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is temperature gradient rather than conventional ones based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, and freezing point ...
Innovative inlet air cooling technology for gas turbine power plants using integrated solid desiccant and Maisotsenko cooler
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Gas turbine thermal efficiency has significant dependency on climatic conditions. Evaporative cooling is commonly utilized as an inlet air cooling technique in hot and dry climates though an increase in atmospheric humidity ...
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine bottoming cycle
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
Maisotsenko gas turbine cycle (MGTC) is a recently proposed humid air turbine cycle. An air saturator is employed for air heating and humidification purposes in MGTC. In this paper, MGTC is integrated as the bottoming cycle ...
Trihalomethane formation potential of aquatic and terrestrial fulvic and humic acids: Sorption on activated carbon
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Humic substances (HSs) are precursors for the formation of hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs) during chlorination of water. Various surrogate parameters have been used to investigate the generation of DBPs by HS ...

Internet of Things (I.o.T) is a recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation and smart environment .The smart grid applications such smart home automations, Intelligent ...
Role of Internet of Things in the Smart Grid Technology
(2015)
The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation, and smart environment as well as for smart cities. The major smart grid devices are smart ...
Early detection of struvite formation in wastewater treatment plants
(2015-04)
Wastewater treatment plants operating anaerobic digestion of their sludge often have to encounter phosphate-based formations that clog piping, valves and pumps that reduce the efficiency of the treatment plant. In addition ...
