Prevalence and risk factors of poor indoor air quality and sick house syndrome symptoms in Dubai by ALI, MUNA IBRAHIM

“…Following are the major practical implications and recommendations that can be derived from findings of this research: • Developing related regulations by: o Mandating an appropriate exposure limit for indoor PM2.5 concentration. o Establishing rigorous policies to enforce compliance with mandated limits. o Establishing convenient policies to manage probable environmental risk of incense burning and new paints. o Incorporating the needs of atopic individuals and females in related policies. • Increasing public awareness about below risk factors and how to manage them: o The risk of having unacceptable indoor levels of PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, CO2, T, RH, and AERs that threatens a substantial number of Dubai housing. o The identified IEQ and building risk factors associated with SHS symptoms which were: indoor dimness, dust and dirt, stuffy air, paint odors, high humidity, water leakage, dampness odors, incense smoke, attached kitchens, and Dubai Sector 1. …”

Optimization of the Consolidation Parameters for Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties of Gr-Bi₂Te_2.55Se_0.45 Nanocomposites by Farah El-Makaty (19198006)

“…Overall, increments in these two parameters improve the ZT values, with the temperature parameter having a higher influence. The highest ZT of 0.69 at 160 °C was obtained for the sample hot-pressed at 350 °C and 1 GPa for 5 min, which is indeed an excellent and competitive value when compared with results reported for this n-type Bi₂Te_2.55Se_0.45 composition.…”

Effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) on the sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride-based resistive humidity sensors by Shoaib Mallick (14578565)

“…The impedance response of the PVDF-SPEEK blend film shows that the addition of SPEEK enhances the sensitivity of the sensing film at a lower humidity level. Moreover, the response and recovery times of the PVDF-SPEEK (2.5−5 wt%) are found to be 25 s and 65 s, respectively.…”

Computation of Power Extraction From Photovoltaic Arrays Under Various Fault Conditions by Azhar Ul-Haq (16875948)

“…<p>Photovoltaic (PV) faults such as partial shading, bypass-diode defects, degradation of PV modules, and wiring issues greatly affect the power output and cause various peaks in P-V curves of a PV system. Although, commonly used Total-Cross-Tied (TCT) scheme in PV arrays is considered instrumental for reducing power losses there lies a great scope to evaluate power extraction through reconfiguration of modules with different PV materials. …”
