Bio-carrier and operating temperature effect on ammonia removal from secondary wastewater effluents using moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This study investigates the impact of bio-carriers' surface area and shape, wastewater chemistry and operating temperature on ammonia removal from real wastewater effluents using Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) operated ...
Novel controlled synthesis of nanoporous carbon nanorods from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
A novel approach is discovered to produce carbon nanorods (CNRs) from resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels. The structure and morphology of CNRs are characterized by pore size analysis, nano-scanning electron microscopy, ...
Aging evaluation of asphalt samples with Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, a recently developed methodology to assess aging of pavements by using Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR) was applied to asphalt mix samples at different aging states. The ultimate objective of ...
Characteristics and mitigation strategies for cell phone use while driving among young drivers in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
There is no doubt that cell phone use while driving can lead to a higher probability of driver error, which increases the likelihood of more crashes. In Qatar, the high rate of cell phone use while driving among young ...
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors: Impact of insulators shape and dimensions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors without extra energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This work investigates the application of a hybrid system that combines forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes for the supply of a fertilizing solution that could be used directly for irrigation purposes. ...
Reveal the hidden layer via entity embedding in traffic prediction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The neural network-based models have been widely used in traffic prediction. They have improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Many variables are considered to predict traffic ...
Using pavements to generate electricity
