Second-law-based performance evaluation of cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers
Published 2020“…For the different input variables investigated, efficiencies were, almost always, seen to increase or decrease monotonically. We notice that an increase in the inlet wet bulb temperature invariably increases the second-law efficiency of all the heat exchangers. …”

Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa
Published 2021“…Outcomes reveal that the MENA region is indeed vulnerable to a surge in temperature, which can increase evapotranspiration losses and decrease water availability. Under the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP2-4.5), the potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been projected to increase throughout the MENA region by up to 0.37 mm per year during the middle of the twenty-first century (2021–2050) and by up to 0.51 mm per year during the end of the twenty-first century (2071–2100). …”

Antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of the oil fractions from wild carrot (Daucus carota ssp. carota)
Published 2015“…The sesquiterpene-rich fraction F1 had the highest FIC ability (IC50 = 0.28 mg/ml). Pretreatment with F1 and F4 reversed the CCl4-induced decrease in SOD, CAT, and GST levels and reduced significantly hepatic damage. …”

β-2-himachalen-6-ol
Published 2016“…In this study, we report the isolation and identification of the major compound responsible for the anti-cancer activity of DCOE along with the mechanism of action involved. GC–MS and NMR spectroscopy revealed the identity of the major compound as β-2-himachalen-6-ol, a novel sesquiterpene unique to the Lebanese wild carrot. β-2-Himachalen-6-ol demonstrated potent anti-cancer activity against B16F-10, Caco-2, MB-MDA-231, A549 and SF-268 cancer cells (IC50 13–4 µg/ml; 58–18 µM), with SF-268 cells being the most sensitive. …”
