Predicting the Heats of Fusion of Ionic Liquids via Group Contribution Modeling and Machine Learning
(2022-04)Energy security, environmental pollution, and global warming have become major concerns due to significant population and economic growth. The transition from fossil fuels, which can be used to generate power constantly, ... -
Prediction of Stability Limits for Binary and Ternary Systems Using the NTRL Liquid Phase Model
(2013-01)Stability limits (spinodal loci) were determined for 53 binary systems and 26 ternary systems. Rigorous thermodynamic criteria for spinodal limits and criticality conditions in terms of mixture Gibbs free energy were derived ... -
Prediction of the Backwater Level Due to Bridge Constriction in Waterways
(2019-05)Worldwide, bridges and culverts built across rivers are obstacles to the flow which cause an increase in water depth at the upstream of the structure that significantly intensifies flooding of land and property upstream. ... -
Prediction of Turbulence Statistics in a Model Dump Combustor Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2011-05)The flowfield characteristics downstream of an axisymmetric suddenexpansion dump combustor model are important to designers of gas turbines and liquid-fuel ramjets ducted rockets. Many experimental techniques such as Laser ... -
Preparation of albumin-targeted liposomes and the study of their release characteristics using ultrasound
(2016-01)The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the enhancement of drug delivery using targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound. In this thesis, a thorough literature review on cancer and drug delivery systems ... -
Priority and Path Diversity Based Video Streaming over Best Effort Networks
(2014-07)Successful delivery of important parts of video sequences is expected to maintain continuous playback at an acceptable video quality. In this thesis, priority and path diversity-based schemes are proposed in order to enhance ... -
The Process Approach and UAE High School Students' Attitudes Towards Writing
(2006-08)Many students have negative attitudes towards writing and they feel frustrated because they do not know what to do to improve it. One of the main reasons behind this attitude is the adoption of the product approach that ... -
Process Design and Optimization for Desulfurization of Diesel Using Ionic Liquids
(2021-07)Sulfur dioxide emissions to the atmosphere have been known to cause detrimental health and environmental effects. The currently used hydrodesulfurization (HDS) method employed by refineries has several drawbacks, such as ... -
Produced water treatment using microbial desalination cells
(2018-05)Globally, 250 million barrels of produced water is generated daily for extracting 80 million barrels of oil. Having a highly variable composition and no economic value, produced water presents serious environmental problems. ... -
Production of Acidic Bio-Char from Food Waste
(2019-12)Bio-char is a carbon-rich solid, produced by pyrolysis of biomass at a high temperature in absence of oxygen. The process also produces a hydrocarbon gas, which upon condensation, produces a liquid fraction and a permanent ... -
Production of Activated Carbon from Sewage Sludge for the Removal of Lead from Water
(2012-06)Different activated carbons were produced from sewage sludge taken from Sharjah waste water treatment plant. Carbonization and activation were carried out in steam environment without an external flowing inert stream or ... -
Professional Development for Teachers of English in the UAE
(2007-01)Because of the importance of professional development in the improvement of teaching and education, and the importance of English as a language and subject of study in the UAE, this study focused on English teachers' ... -
Progress Evaluation and Diagnosis Indices for Construction Projects-Omar's Diagnostic Technique
(2006-06)The construction industry constitutes a major part of the global economy. Large amounts of money are spent annually for the construction of residential, commercial, industrial, and other types of projects, including ... -
Proton Conductivity Studies of Zirconium Silicate/Ionic Liquids Membranes for PEM Fuel Cells Applications
(2020-12)This work reports the synthesis of a novel, high-temperature composite membrane for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. High-temperature operation (> 100oC) is preferred in PEM fuel cells as it results in better ... -
Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Stack Model Parameters Estimation and Model Validation
