In the present study polystyrene waste (PS) was collected from a drop off site in a local market and pyrolyzed at heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C/min and temperature range 40–600 °C under nitrogen condition. The apparent activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A) were determined using [...]

Nowadays Photovoltaic (PV) became the new competitive energy resource. Therefore, it needs to be connected to the grid to reduce the demand from the authority, which means the flow of the load will be reduced. The production of the electricity as a solar energy will increase in the locations where [...]

Spindle-like CuO nanostructure had been synthesized by facile hydrothermal method at low temperature of 100 °C. The influence of reaction time on the evolution of structure, morphology, optical and photocatalytic properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the monoclinic phase. HR-SEM and TEM analyses evidenced morphological transformation with reaction time. XPS [...]

The Arabian Gulf is considered as a hub for global oil industry. Thus the Arabian Gulf marine environment is under permanent threat from oil spills due to oil exploitation, production, and transportation. Oil pollution poses adverse effects on marine environment, society, and economy. Oil spill incidents that occurred in Bahrain [...]

Preamble: The University of Bahrain Smart Cities event has been organized in collaboration with the IET-EMEA (IET Europe, Middle East and Africa Regional), IET, (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), UK. Smart Cities relate to the employment of smart technologies and data as the means to solving cities’ sustainability challenges [...]

The humidification chamber is a vital component of the humidification-dehumidification cycle that plays an essential role in determining the effectiveness of this system. In this study, the combined effect of heating and humidifying processes in the plate type humidification chamber, the so-called solar air humidifier is investigated experimentally and using [...]

Citizen records are scattered between different state organizations. It wastes time, effort, and resources for both citizen and organization to collect, maintain, and update records to fulfill citizen services. Interoperability is a key element that enables seamless collaboration between different entities. It requires non-conventional methods to overcome interoperability challenges such [...]

Generation system reliability is an important factor in the long-term planning for future capacity expansion to make sure that the total installed capacity is enough to support demand. This case is very important for smart cities, because it is focusing on the optimal solution. Whenever the number of days very [...]

Tin sulfide (SnS)has attracted a great interest recently due to its high absorption coefficient (∼104 cm−1), facile deposition and low-cost. This research work consists on a comprehensive photoresponse investigation of flexible π-SnS photodetector analyzed under illumination of near-infrared (NIR). The π-SnS film has been deposited onto a flexible substrate polyethylene [...]

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 [...]
