A Systematic Visual Approach to Ionic Liquid Design for Carbon Dioxide Capture
( Elsevier , 2015 , Book chapter)Ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential replacement of conventional CO2 capturing solvents, for their negligible vapour pressure and high thermal stability. Besides, through matching cations and anions, ILs ... -
A systematic visual methodology to design ionic liquids and ionic liquid mixtures: Green solvent alternative for carbon capture
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great interest recently to substitute volatile organic compounds (VOCs), since their properties can be tuned to match certain targets and applications. Further to this, another possibility ... -
A systemic approach to explore the mechanisms of drug resistance and altered signaling cascades in extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
( Elsevier , 2021 , Book chapter)Background and aim: The persistence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) continue to pose a significant challenge to the treatment and control of tuberculosis infections worldwide. ... -
A T-Type Modular Multilevel Converter
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)This article proposes a novel modular multilevel converter (MMC) named 'T-type MMC' (T-MMC) for reliable, controllable, and efficient performance in energy conversion applications. Circuitry configurations and control ... -
A technique for estimating permeability of a randomly fractured rock mass
( Springer Verlag , 2007 , Article)Extensive field and laboratory testing programs were performed to develop a relationship between the permeability of a fractured limestone and the core recovery values. The studied limestone does not encompass any jointing ... -
A techno-economic-environmental study evaluating the potential of oxygen-steam biomass gasification for the generation of value-added products
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)The production of renewable chemicals and fuels is driving modern society towards a type of sustainable development which involves a decreasing dependency on fossil fuels and the minimisation of waste. Biomass, a waste ... -
A technoeconomic assessment of microalgal culture technology implementation for combined wastewater treatment and CO2 mitigation in the Arabian Gulf
( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2019 , Article)A technoeconomic assessment (TEA) has been conducted of the feasibility of large-scale application of microalgal culture technology (MCT) to the combined mitigation of CO2 emissions from flue gases and nutrient discharges ... -
A template-catalyzed: In situ polymerization and co-assembly strategy for rich nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)N-doped mesoporous carbon materials are greatly useful in adsorption, catalysis and energy storage. Controlled synthesis of such materials with both high nitrogen content and desired pore structures remains a great challenge. ... -
A Testbed for Implementing Lightweight Physical Layer Security in an IoT-based Health Monitoring System
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Conference Paper)Telemedicine is a technique that allows patients to have health-related consultations without the need to be physically present in the hospital through phone and video calling technologies. In recent years, researchers ... -
A theoretical and experimental study of fast lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem
( EDP Sciences , 2018 , Article)We address the two-dimensional bin packing problem with fixed orientation. This problem requires packing a set of small rectangular items into a minimum number of standard two-dimensional bins. It is a notoriously intractable ... -
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on calcite for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on calcite (104) has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory for molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) CO2 injection. Results show ... -
