Mineralogy Of The Marrat Clay Deposits, Riyadh Region, Central Saudi Arabia
( Qatar University , 1989 , Article)Clays in the Marrat Formation, which crop out 200 km west of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, are dominantly composed of brownish red to dark red mudstones and shales. Marrat clays are chiefly composed of kaolinite and lesser amounts ... -
Mineralogy, petrography and manufacturing of good quality Blackboard chalk
( Qatar University , 1996 , Article)Most of the Arabian countries produce bad quality and dusty blackboard chalk. Good quality and dustless blackboard chalk are usually imported from Europe, China, Taiwan and the United States of America. The essential raw ... -
A mini review of recent progress in the removal of emerging contaminants from pharmaceutical waste using various adsorbents
( Springer , 2022 , Article)The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) originating from pharmaceutical waste in water, wastewater, and marine ecosystems at various geographical locations has been clearly publicised. This review paper presents an ... -
A mini review on percent time-spent-following (PTSF) as the service measure for two-lane highways
( Komunitas Ilmuwan dan Profesional Muslim Indonesia , 2018 , Article)Percent Time Spent Following (PTSF) is used by the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) as one of the service measures to assess the level-of-service of two-lane highways since the 2000 edition. But, the problem facing to estimate ... -
Minimally Invasive and Non-Invasive Technologies for Predicting Heart Failure
( Wiley , 2022 , Book chapter)Heart failure is a life-threatening medical problem which refers to inadequate blood supply to body tissues due to the limited functioning of heart muscles. Heart failure is mostly observed as a chronic disease which ... -
Minimally invasive endodontics: a new era for pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)Emerging clinical and histologic evidence is challenging the long-established dogma that root canal treatment (RCTx) is the only therapeutic option for preservation of vital mature permanent teeth diagnosed with irreversible ... -
Minimising number of sensors in wireless sensor networks for structure health monitoring systems
( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2019 , Article)Sensor placement optimisation is an important problem in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). Many researchers solve this problem by focusing only on the network requirements, without considering the civil ... -
Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The implementation of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture in Internet of Things (IoT) systems has garnered significant attention as a means to fulfill the stringent requirements of ultra-low latency and ultra-low ... -
MINIMIZING NUMBER OF SENSORS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR STRUCTURE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS
(2016 , Master Thesis)Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered an essential candidate to apply structural health monitoring (SHM). An important problem in this area is sensor placement optimization. In many research works, ... -
Minimizing prescribing errors: A phenomenological exploration of the views and experiences of independent prescribing pharmacists
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2023 , Article)Aims: This study aims to explore the views and experiences of independent prescribing (IP) pharmacists regarding prescribing errors and strategies to mitigate errors in practice. Methods: One-to-one online semi-structured ... -
Minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine flowshop problem with time delays
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)This article proposes to solve the problem of minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine permutation flowshop environment in which time delays between the machines are considered. For this purpose, an enumeration ... -
Minimizing wind erosion using microbial induced carbonate precipitation
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Conference Paper)This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to reduce the potential for wind erosion. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary wind tunnel experiments. ... -
Minimum cycle bases for direct products of K2 with complete graphs
( University of Queensland Press , 2009 , Article)We construct a minimum cycle basis for the direct product K2 x Kp of two complete graphs where p > 2. For p > 3, these bases consists only of squares. This completes the work of R. Hammack, who treated the case Kp x ... -
