Governance, product market competition and agency costs: Evidence from the UAE
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Relying on two years' observations of 74 United Arab Emirates (UAE) listed firms, we examined the association between governance mechanisms (board size, audit committee, percentage of independent non-executive directors, ...
Towards a sustainable management of end-of-life vehicles in Qatar: A closed-loop circular economy model
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are potentially harmful for the environment if they are not processed or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. In Qatar, the municipality removed almost 13,878 ELVs from different ...
Thermal degradation of aqueous amine/amino acid solutions in the presence and absence of CO 2
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The stability to thermal degradation of aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and their mixtures with glycine (Gly), in the absence and the presence of CO 2 , was investigated by Gas chromatography-flame ionization ...
Comparison between multi-stage and single stage microalgae dewatering processes
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The present work shows a quick, simple and accurate method for algae harvesting with a potential to relate the required polymer dose with in-situ hydrodynamics properties of alga solution. The method also reduces the lag ...
Assessment of carbon bio-fixation by mixed indigenous microalgae
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study assesses the potential use of mixed Indigenous Microalgae (MIMA) for carbon capture from flue gases in a photo-bioreactor. The effect of inlet CO2 concentration on the carbon biofixation rate was investigated. ...
Mobile government adoption: Citizen-centric approach
(
Association for Information Systems
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Despite government attempts to increase citizens' interaction with e-government services provided through governmental websites, to guarantee a high level of involvement by citizens in government services, more governmental ...
Ridge penalization-based generalized linear model (GzLM) for predicting risky-driving index
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Road traffic crashes remain one of the major causes of preventable death and injury worldwide. Human behavior is considered one of the main factors leading to such tragic losses. In this paper, we analyze the responses of ...
The performance assessment for the dMEWMA in capturing changes in simple linear profiles
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In traditional quality control, the quality of product is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of the quality parameters. In more recent applications, the quality is modeled using the relationship ...
Association of networked flying platforms with small cells for network centric 5G+ C-RAN
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
5G+ systems expect enhancement in data rate and coverage area under limited power constraint. Such requirements can be fulfilled by the densification of small cells (SCs). However, a major challenge is the management of ...
H2 Production via ferrite based H2O splitting cycle: Solar reactor thermodynamic efficiency analysis
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study reports the thermodynamic equilibrium and efficiency analysis of the Ba-ferrite based thermochemical water splitting cycle. Attempts were made to identify the equilibrium composition associated with the thermal ...
