Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 and experimental stress
(
Inter-Research
, 2014 , Article)
We used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages, under realistic and locally relevant scenarios ...
Characteristics of olive mill solid residue and its application in remediation of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solution: Mechanistic study
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This study investigated the use of untreated olive mill solid residues (OMSR) as a solid extractant for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution. It was shown that the solution initial pH value affected the metal ...
A novel approach to assess the products' global environmental impacts by considering pollution transfer phenomena
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
As environmental issues become more serious, governments and customers are more sensitive about the environmental impacts which are produced by products. Many methods have been proposed to assess environmental impacts. The ...
Relay assignment in multiple source-destination cooperative networks with limited feedback
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
We consider in this paper relay assignment for cooperative systems with mutiple source-destination pairs. The objective here is to assign relays to the source-destination pairs in such a way that all pairs achieve the ...
Integrating sustainability in cloud computing for managing sustainable knowledge in higher education
(
IGI Global
, 2014 , Book chapter)
This chapter aims to present a conceptual model in order to facilitate sustainability in cloud computing resulting in sustainability in organizational knowledge in education. From one perspective, while cloud computing has ...
Numerical modeling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams using different systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
This research aims at creating finite-element models for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behavior of shear strengthened ...
Output feedback sliding mode control for a linear multi-compartment lung mechanics system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we develop a sliding mode control architecture to control lung volume and minute ventilation in the presence of modelling system uncertainties. Since the applied input pressure to the lungs is, in general, ...
Bird strike analysis on a typical helicopter windshield with different lay-ups
(
Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
In the current paper, bird strike to a typical helicopter windshield is investigated using smoothed particles hydrodynamic (SPH) finite element method. Five types of lay-ups in a windshield (single layer stretch acrylic, ...
Kinetic investigations into the synthesis of disulphides via tetrathiomolybdate as a sulphur-transfer reagent
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2014 , Article)
Kinetic and mechanistic aspects of the conversion of halides to disulphides using benzyl triethyl ammonium tetrathiomolybdate as sulphur-transfer reagent were investigated. The reaction follows a 1:1 stoichiometry with ...
Uptake of Reactive Black 5 by pumice and walnut activated carbon: Chemistry and adsorption mechanisms
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2014 , Article)
The potential of using pumice and walnut wood activated carbon as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm fit to the data ...
