Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanocomposite powders doped with nickel ions were synthesized by sol–gel route using bismuth carbonate. The study focused on the determination the essential conditions required to create stable room-temperature ferromagnetic (RT-FM) properties in host BiOCl crystalline medium by means of doping with Ni 2+ ions (BiOCl:Ni). This work [...]

One of the major factors in planning, design, operation and maintenance of the power system is the reliability. The electric power planning concentrates on the load forecast for the future. The future expectation of electric load needs the load history to data. The present study concentrates on one of the [...]

Nanocomposite powders of anatase TiO 2 doped with Ni ions (TiO 2 :Ni) were synthesized by facile thermal co-decomposition of a mixture of metals complexes. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses using the Rietveld method confirm the formation of almost single nanocrystalline anatase structure. Anatase TiO 2 incorporated with Ni ions [...]

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the associations between audit firm attributes (i.e. audit firm size, non-audit services, auditor industry specialization and auditor-client tenure) and specific indicators of audit quality. It also aims to test whether these relationships are moderated by a set of other factors like legal system and [...]

Rapid economic and industrial developments and population growth in Bahrain are associated with increases in energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process has been adopted in the country to address environmental aspects within energy intensive projects such as oil and petrochemical industries. The quality of [...]

It is important to develop a suitable model to calculate electricity demand forecasting requested by decision makers. The present study deals with the electrical long-term peak load demand forecasting using a developed Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) methods. The MLR model is formulated as a [...]

Energy efficiency has become a major concern in modern data centers design due to financial and environmental considerations. In existing large data centers, dynamic virtual machine (VM) provisioning between these servers is the most efficient method to improve servers’ utilization and reduce energy. These methods use monitoring, historical data, prediction, [...]

Due to the promising technical feasibility of PV powered RO unit, many studies worldwide are carried out to further enhance their performance. In this simulation studies, we investigate the performance and efficiency of a battery free portable PV-RO unit powered directly and continuously from the PV array and compare it [...]

The cloud workload refers to charge made by a huge diversity of independent services and applications located on cloud infrastructures. Workload characteristics can be defined by tasks or Virtual Machines (VMs). Then again, tasks/VMs scheduling, allocation, workload predictions are important topics, which are gaining steadily increasing attention particularly in the [...]

This study reports the effect of pH value of the reaction solution (5, 5.8 and 6.5) on growth rate of SnS films deposited by chemical bath deposition and their characteristics such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface morphology, phase stability, optical and photoelectrical. XRD analysis reveals that the films exhibit an [...]
