The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ...

Efficient fouling control using outer-selective hollow fiber thin-film composite membranes for osmotic membrane bioreactor applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This paper investigates the efficiency of fouling mitigation methods using a novel outer selective hollow fiber thin-film composite forward osmosis (OSHF TFC FO) membrane for osmosis membrane bioreactor (OMBR) system ...
The effect of culture salinity on the harvesting of microalgae biomass using pilot-scale tangential-flow-filter membrane
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the effect of culture salinity (4–6% NaCl) on the harvesting of two microalgal strains (i.e., Picochlorum sp., and Tetraselmis sp.) was investigated using pilot-scale TFF membranes. The cultures of these two ...
Effect of sintering temperature on the structural and magnetic properties of MgFe2O4 ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a powerful technique to produce fine grain dense ferrite at low temperature. This work was undertaken to study the effect of sintering temperature on the densification, microstructures and ...
Thermal modeling and optimization of microalgal biomass production in the harsh desert conditions of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Microalgal culture in solar conditions raises several challenges, especially in the harsh desert areas of the Middle East where microalgal culture is a valuable candidate for biomass production on non-arable land. Here we ...
Gas Processing Technology-Treatment and Utilization
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Book chapter)
The term natural gas refers to hydrocarbon-rich gas; it is a gaseous fossil fuel that is found in oil fields, natural gas fields, and coal beds (Carroll, 2010; Speight, 2007). Natural gas is colorless, shapeless, and ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Exploring the photoelectrocatalytic behavior of free-standing TiO2 nanotube arrays on transparent conductive oxide electrodes: Irradiation direction vs. alignment direction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Although one-dimensional TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNA) grown on Ti substrates via electrochemical anodization are extensively studied in photoelectrochemistry, the photo(electro)catalytic activity of TNA detached from the Ti ...
