Vertical zonation and functional diversity of fish assemblages revealed by ROV videos at oil platforms in The Gulf
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)About one third of the oil and gas extracted worldwide comes from offshore sources. There is currently thousands of large-scale oil and gas platforms spread across the seas and coastal oceans, from the North Sea to the ... -
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ... -
Verum- versus Sham-Acupuncture on Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in Animal Models: A Preclinical Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
( hindawi , 2020 , Article)Background. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common health condition affecting senile people and leads to severe cognitive dysfunctions. Acupuncture has been shown to be a possible alternative natural remedy for AD in some ... -
VHDRA: A Vertical and Horizontal Intelligent Dataset Reduction Approach for Cyber-Physical Power Aware Intrusion Detection Systems
( Hindawi Limited , 2019 , Article)The Cypher Physical Power Systems (CPPS) became vital targets for intruders because of the large volume of high speed heterogeneous data provided from the Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS). The Nonnested Generalized ... -
