This paper aims to investigate the service quality dimensions that were discussed by previous literature at Government To Citizens – G2C. Service quality is essential nowadays, which enable organizations to understand users’ expectations of services. Using the literature review methodology, the researchers were able to identify the fundamental dimensions that [...]

The use of Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination has grown considerably in response to water scarcity. Despite steady improvements in efficiency, RO desalination remains an energy-intensive process. Numerous studies focussed on using mature Renewable Energy Sources (RES), such as wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) energy, to drive RO plants on a [...]

There has been a rise in the concept of ethical consumerism in various sectors of the economy. This chapter examines ethical consumerism in the Bahrain banking sector by analyzing customer surveys and annual reports from seven commercial banks. The findings show limited evidence of ethical consumerism in supply and demand. [...]

One of the integral parts of determining business success directly correlates to how well a company interacts with their customers. This increased demand for direct communication has evolved how companies cooperate with their patrons and examines how essential ethics is related to these communications. Ethical Consumerism and Comparative Studies Across [...]

Purpose: Motivated by agency theory, this paper aims to explore the impact of bank diversification and bank independency on the likelihood of bank failure. The effects of corporate governance (ownership and board structures) are also examined. Design/methodology/approach: Logistic regressions are used to explore the role of corporate governance on bank [...]

In 2011, Bahrain Petroleum Company inaugurated the country’s first Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) as a demonstration project, which partially supplies the electricity required for the reception hall of the company’s park. Data collected from the system for a full year were analyzed to assess the performance of this grid-connected [...]

This paper estimates traffic attracted to schools using attributes that are usually available in the early stages of urban planning, namely the neighborhoods’ average income and lot area. The paper also compares the prediction of trips using attributes that are more informative such as the gross floor area, the number [...]

In this study, pyrolysis of waste polystyrene was investigated in the presence of a mixed metal oxide (Nix=0.5Cu1-xO) under inert conditions in a pyrolysis chamber. The pyrolysis products were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Kinetic parameters were determined from thermogravimetric data, and the activation energy and pre-exponential factor [...]

Biofuel production via microalgae is a promising and sustainable alternative to replace the typical fossil fuel that is the main contributor to the global warming. However, for a cost-effective biofuel production, further advanced research is still needed for large-scale operation. This article is a tutorial review on conversion processes of [...]
