Effect of short fibres in the mechanical properties of geopolymer mortar containing oil-contaminated sand
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Sand contaminated with crude oil is becoming a major environmental issue around the world, while at the same time, fly ash generated by coal-fired power stations is having a detrimental effect on the environment. Previous ...
In situ photopolymerization of acrylamide hydrogel to coat cellulose acetate nanofibers for drug delivery system
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study we developed electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers (CANFs) that were loaded with a model non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (ibuprofen, Ib) and coated with poly(acrylamide) (poly-AAm) hydrogel ...
How eco-efficient are electric vehicles across Europe? A regionalized life cycle assessment-based eco-efficiency analysis
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Sustainable transportation is at the hearth of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is directly linked to many SDGs including SDG3 (good health and well-being), SDG11 (sustainable cities and societies), ...
Targeted and suspect screening of contaminants in coastal water and sediment samples in Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In recent years, high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) combined with separation techniques has allowed comprehensive analysis of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) as well as their metabolites and transformation ...
Relocation of intersection crosswalks to nearby mid-block locations: Simulation-based performance evaluation
(
Jordan University of Science and Technology
, 2021 , Article)
This study explores the performance of an alternative crosswalk design, where crosswalks are removed from the intersections and placed at nearby mid-block to reduce conflicts between turning vehicles and pedestrians. Several ...
Influence of COVID-19 mobility-restricting policies on individual travel behavior in Malaysia
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in new postpandemic travel patterns as a result of the stay-at-home policies and restricted movement orders imposed by the Malaysian government. The purpose of this study was to investigate ...
Exploring the traveler’s intentions to use public transport during the covid-19 pandemic while complying with precautionary measures
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
Public transport use has drastically declined during the COVID-19 pandemic because the virus spreads through close contact with infected people and contaminated surfaces, especially in closed-environments. Evidence suggests ...
Structural equation modeling of public transport use with COVID-19 precautions: An extension of the norm activation model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study aims to identify the travelers’ attitudes and preferences towards the use of public transport during COVID-19 through the Norm-Activation Model (NAM). A questionnaire survey was designed to assess the traveler’s ...
Identification of potential natural inhibitors of the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using a computational docking approach
(
HBKU Press
, 2021 , Article)
Background: The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the only zoonotic-origin CoV to reach the pandemic stage, to which neither an effective vaccine nor a specific therapy is available. The ...
