Currently most of the street lighting systems in Bahrain use non-dimmable High-Pressure Sodium lamps (HPS) along with an on/off control system. This system is not cost-effective, may lead to unnecessary energy use in some regions, and lowers the life spans of lamps. Considering the above problems, it has become increasingly [...]

Environmental management accounting (EMA) has emerged over last decades because of increasing awareness of the impacts of companies on their environment. There was a limited attention directed to the importance attached to EMA’s techniques and the importance of benefits derived from EMA’s techniques.

This study focuses for the first time on the water content modeling as an indicator for red palm weevil (RPW) stress-attacks using field sampling, Worldview-3 (WV-3) reflectance measurements, water content estimation at the laboratory (WC-Lab), several water stress indices (WSI) and statistical analysis. Based on field identification and sampling, 100 [...]

In this study, the feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme was considered to facilitate an effective introduction of renewable energy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. An economic model was developed for the estimation of feasible FIT rates for photovoltaic (PV) electricity on a residential scale. The calculations of FIT rates were based [...]
