Hydrogeological vulnerability and pollution risk mapping of the Saq and overlying aquifers using the DRASTIC model and GIS techniques, NW Saudi Arabia
(Springer, 2015-07)Saq and overlying aquifers serve as important sources of water supply for agricultural and domestic usage in Saudi Arabia. Due to urbanization and growth in the agricultural sector, groundwater resources are over-exploited ... -
Imidazole, a new tunable reagent for producing nanocellulose, part I: Xylan-coated CNCs and CNFs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-10)Imidazole is reported to be an effective reactant for the production of nanocellulose from hardwood pulp. The morphologies and surface properties of the nanocellulose can be simply tailored according to the water content ... -
Impact of green HR practices on environmental sustainability of a UAE based organization
(EM International, 2018)Sustainability can be defined as the way in which organizations manage their business so that it benefits their people, economy and environment. It is unarguably one of the most important pillars on which a business has ... -
Impact of the Surface Properties of cellulose nanocrystals on the crystallization kinetics of poly (butylene succinate)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)The hydrophilicity of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a major challenge for their processing with hydrophobic polymers and matrices. As a result, many surface modifications have been proposed to hydrophobize CNCs. The ... -

Indoor air quality (iaq) in the uae research in environmental health and safety
(2017)Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been one of the most important aspects that environmentalists consider. Since UAE residents spend 80%-95% of their time indoors to escape high temperatures. Individuals should pay attention to ... -
Integrated application of geoelectrical techniques for structural investigations: case study of Wadi Marsad Graben, Jordan
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)An integrated geoelectrical survey has been conducted at the Wadi Marsad area, south of Jordan, to map the dominant structural features associated with the Arabian-African plate movements. The area is known to be tectonically ... -
Ionic liquid-mediated technology to produce cellulose nanocrystals directly from wood
(Elsevier, 2015-09)We report for the first time the direct extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from wood by means of a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAc]) treatment. A native cellulosic product could be recovered in 44% ... -
Isolation, Identification and Manipulation of Almond Borer Pheromones
(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing,, 2011)Laboratory and field experiments were carried out during the period from 2003 to 2005 to isolate and identify the pheromones of Almond Borer (AB), Capnodis carbonaria, test the attraction of AB to the isolated pheromone ... -
Leaching of PVP from PVDF/PVP blend membranes: Impacts on membrane structure and fouling in membrane bioreactors
(Springer US, 2016-05)Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are widely used in membrane industry, especially for membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Many PVDF membranes contain residual polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) that acts as a pore-forming additive. ... -
