Public littering is widely recognized as an ongoing global problem with several implications on human health and the integrity of the environment. Waste management is one of the main challenges to sustainable development in the Arabian Gulf countries. Identifying factors that influence littering behaviour is critical for designing effective strategies [...]

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 [...]

The paper starts with a question about the industrial revolution: is there a new model of the industrial revolution in front of us? If yes, what is the effect on architecture and architectural design. New construction methods, associated with new building materials, have been innovated and used in the architecture [...]

Purpose: Ambulance response time is an important factor in saving lives and is highly linked with the ambulance location problem. The Maximum Expected Covering Location Problem (MEXCLP), introduced by Daskin (1983), is one of the most used ambulance location models that maximize the probability of stratifying demands for emergency medical [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Purpose – The damage humans caused to the environment post the industrial revolution fostered developing sustainability-rating systems – a number of evaluation instruments that focus on various factors to evaluate buildings and small-scale urban developments. Nevertheless, no buildings are certified in Bahrain, the environmentally challenged country in the Arabian Gulf. [...]

In this paper we provide a review of important ambulance allocation models developed in the last 40 years. These models include both strategic and operational level decisions. The review aims to provide researchers with an easy to-understand, comprehensive and up-to-date summary of deterministic, probabilistic, and dynamic ambulance location models. © [...]

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 [...]
