Conventional and Upcoming Sulfur-Cleaning Technologies for Petroleum Fuel: A Review
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article Review)Environmental regulations on the quality of liquid fuels continue to create more requirements to produce a near-to-zero sulfur content. The hydrodesulfurization process has a high running cost and suffers from incomplete ... -
The ‘Conventions of The Arabs’ (Maʿhūd Al-ʿarab) As A Fundamental Principle of Tafsir
( Centre of Quranic Research (CQR), University of Malaya , 2022 , Article)This article aims to re-examine a rather neglected yet fundamental principle in the Islamic exegetical heritage, namely, ‘considering the conventions of the Arabs at the time of revelation of the Qurʾān’ - murāʿāt maʿhūd ... -
Convergence and divergence: the treatment of certain aspects of real property under the Civil Codes of Qatar and California
( Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals , 2015 , Article)This paper compares and contrasts the treatment of certain aspects of real property under the civil codes of Qatar and California, two jurisdictions with very different histories and cultures but somewhat less different ... -
Convergence of RK-iterative process for generalized nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0) spaces
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2019 , Article)In this paper, we introduce a new four-step iterative process and name it as RK-iterative process and prove some ?-convergence and strong convergence results using this process for generalized nonexpansive mappings in ... -
Convergence or Diversity in National Recruitment and Selection Practices:A Case Study of the State of Qatar
( North American Business Press , 2011 , Article)This paper examines the convergence and diversity in approaches to national HRM practices in Qatar. The sample of the study consists of 31 human resources managers working for different Qatari companies. Large companies ... -
Convergence theorems for nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings
( Elsevier B.V. , 2007 , Article)In this paper, we prove some strong and weak convergence theorems using a modified iterative process for nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. This will improve and generalize the ... -
