Greywater reuse in the water-scarce Gulf Region by Canal Forgues, Eric

“…The current article discusses these issues and, given the public reluctance in the UAE to accept interior greywater reuse, it focuses on the applicability of constructed wetlands in the Gulf region and their potential to enhance irrigation streams and landscape appeal.…”

Positional and dimensional temporomandibular joint osseous changes in patients treated with the forsus fatigue resistant device: a non-randomized clinical trial by Ramy Abdul-Rahman Ishaq (22928974)

“…After alignment and leveling with fixed orthodontic appliances using 0.019 × 0.025-inch stainless-steel archwires, the FFRD was fitted. The overjet was corrected to achieve an edge-to-edge incisor relationship. …”

Optimal design of a new vibration absorber setup for randomly forced systems by Issa, Jimmy

“…It is shown that an optimal mass ratio exists, unlike the case of classical absorbers where performance increases with increasing absorber mass. The optimal parameters associated with the optimal mass ratio are calculated and tabulated for a range of primary system damping ratios. …”

A discrete-time stochastic iterative learning control algorithm for a class of nonlinear systems by Saab, S. S.

“…The author also shows that in presence of measurement noise, the state error covariance matrix converges to zero as the number of learning iterations increases. Finally, a numerical example is given that compares the performance of the proposed algorithm to a conventional ILC algorithm.…”

Design of a vibration absorber for harmonically forced damped systems by Issa, Jimmy

“…The optimal absorber parameters are obtained with the aim of minimizing the maximum of the primary system frequency response. For a given damping ratio of the primary system and mass ratio of the system, the optimal stiffness and damping ratios of the absorber are calculated numerically. …”
