Influence of micro-and mesoporosity of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels on adsorption
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2013 , Article)
Effects of micro-and mesoporosity of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels (RFXs) on the adsorptive properties of crystal violet (CV) were investigated. RFXs were synthesized at different pH values, and corresponding pore ...
Photo-oxidative enhancement of polymeric molecular sieve membranes
(
Nature Research
, 2013 , Article)
High-performance membranes are attractive for molecular-level separations in industrial-scale chemical, energy and environmental processes. The next-generation membranes for these processes are based on molecular sieving ...
Bromate reduction by ultraviolet light irradiation using medium pressure lamp
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Bromate reduction in water by ultraviolet irradiation using medium-pressure lamps (UV-M) emitting light in the range of 200-600 nm has been investigated. Effects of certain experimental parameters including the initial ...
Optical and electrical properties of porous silicon impregnated with congo red dye
(
American Institute of Physics
, 2013 , Article)
Incorporation of molecules into porous silicon (PS) matrix is of particular interest for potential utilization in hybrid organic-semiconductor devices. In this study, the incorporation of Congo Red molecules inside luminescent ...
Real-time optical character recognition on field programmable gate array for automatic number plate recognition system
(2013 , Article)
The last main stage in an automatic number plate recognition system (ANPRs) is optical character recognition (OCR), where the number plate characters on the number plate image are converted into encoded texts. In this ...
Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
Corrosion of inhibitor treated mild steel immersed in distilled water and a simulated salt solution
(2013 , Article)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the performances of three inhibitors in controlling corrosion of local mild steel products in distilled water and a simulated salt solution. Corrosion inhibition of mild steel ...
Effects of environmental and climatic conditions on PV efficiency in qatar
(
European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ)
, 2013 , Article)
The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies towards dust, temperature and relative humidity is investigated for Qatar’s environment. Results obtained show that dust accumulation has the great effect on ...
Civic life and democratic citizenship in Qatar: Findings from the First Qatar World Values Survey
(
Brill Academic
, 2013 , Article)
The present study examines the Arab nation that has remained least affected by the regional upheaval that has gripped much of the Middle East and North Africa since the beginning of 2011: the Gulf state of Qatar. Using ...
A Portrait of Low-Income Migrants in Contemporary Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2013 , Article)
Though transnational labor migration in the Gulf States has increasingly been of
scholarly interest, that scholarship has to date relied largely on qualitative ethnographic
methodologies or small non-representative ...
