Integrating hybrid systems with existing thermal desalinationplants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
In Gulf countries, most power plants are co-generation power desalting plants (CPDP) that generate electric energy and also produce fresh water through the desalination of seawater. This paper provides detailed technical ...
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR): A strategic cost-effective facility to balance water production and demand for Sharjah
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Aquifer storage and recovery was evaluated as a strategic water storage facility and as a tool to reduce overallcost of water production. This work investigated the size, cost, and mode of operation required to run the ...
Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...
Fatty acids composition of Fifty-one plant species growing in Qatar
(2004 , Article)
Fatty acids and lipids composition of fifty one species growing in Qatar belonging to twenty one families and forty three genera are reported
C-Reactive Protein in the Premature Rupture of the Membranes
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2004 , Article)
Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) defined as a rupture of membranes before onset of labor, which is one of the most complications of pregnancy that leads to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. ...
Performance enhancement of relay-assisted communications via binary feedback
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a modified two-hop wireless communication system and studies its performance. The modified system has a reliable feedback channel that carries a binary signal from the receiver to inform the transmitter ...
Optimal power allocation for relayed transmissions over Rayleigh-fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
Relayed transmission is a way to attain broader coverage by splitting the communication link from the source to the destination into several shorter links/hops. One of the main advantages of this communication technique ...
Performance of OFDM with M-QAM modulation and optimal loading over rayleigh fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference Paper)
We present optimum bit and power loading algorithms for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using an M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) scheme. Several scenarios for the amount of channel ...
A performance study of dual-hop transmissions with fixed gain relays
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
This letter presents a study on the end-to-end performance of dual-hop wireless communication systems equipped with nonregenerative fixed gain relays and operating over flat Rayleigh-fading channels. More specifically, it ...
A Novel Resolver-to-360° Linearized Converter
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
A novel and simple resolver-to-dc converter is presented. It is shown that by appropriate processing of the sine and cosine resolver signals, the proposed converter may produce an output voltage proportional to the shaft ...
