This communication reports the inhibitive attributes of cinnamaldehyde mitigating corrosion of AISI 1015 carbon steel in HCl (10% w/w) medium. The mild steel coupons were exposed in HCl medium with and without the presence of cinnamaldehyde. Following the exposure, the samples were analyzed for weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization responses, and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Women encounter more challenges than men in their attempts to reach top managerial positions. Challenges stem from proscribed social roles, employed life strategies, and/or organizational structures. The same challenges lead men and women to use organizational sources of power differently. This qualitative research examines gender differences in relation to individual [...]

The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the current situation of women engineers in the Kingdom of Bahrain in the public and private sectors, discussing some factors that affect women’s access to leading positions, and looking for ways to increase the status of Bahraini women leading in this sector, [...]

The purpose of this study is to explore the current level of contribution of Bahraini women to the engineering fields in the Kingdom of Bahrain, while specifically examining the factors that affect Bahraini women in the engineering profession. This study determines the extent to which the principles and policies of [...]

In the French-dominated multilingual D. R. Congo where Lingala music reigns supreme, it may seem unusual and unexpected to note the presence of English in lyrics where pervasive mixing of French in Lingala lyrics would be an unmarked phenomenon. This remarkable craze for English in Lingala lyrics in the 1970s [...]
