Online monitoring of climatic parameters: a statistical study about environmental changes in Qatar by Mahmood, Tahir

“…Qatar, being a richest country whose economic growth depends on petroleum and natural gas industry, is paying focus on its environmental development programs, which is also a goal of recent national vision. In this study, we have focused on monitoring of temperature and rainfall pattern in Qatar through different control charting schemes, i.e., memory less (Shewhart) and memory type (EWMA and CUSUM) control charting structures; while time series analysis was performed for the period of 1990-2012. …”

Development of a Mechanistic and Data-Driven Model for Multiphase Flow Leak Detection in Pipeline by Barooah, Abinash

“…The effect of different pressure constraints, pipe length, pipe diameter, two-phase fluid rheology, leak diameter, leak location, outlet liquid volume fraction, and flowing liquid hold-up on leak size, pressure, and flow rate is analyzed. Decreasing the liquid fraction in the outlet section of the leak leads to a slight increase (6% average) in the inlet mass flow rate and a significant decrease (50% average) in the outlet mass flow rate for fixed pressure constraints, resulting in an increased leak flow rate, pressure, and density. …”

A dynamic MOPSO algorithm for multiobjective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems by Sharafi, Masoud

“…Additionally, the set coverage metric value shows that at least 67% of Pareto solutions obtained by DMOPSO dominate the solutions resulted by other reported algorithms. By using a sensitivity analysis for the case study, it is found that if the PV panel and wind turbine capital cost are decreased by 50%, the total NPC of the system would be decreased by 18.8 and 3.7%, respectively.…”

Qatar Culture Collection of Microalgae: A Sustainable Source for Biodiesel Production and Omega Fatty Acid Compounds by Bounnit, Touria

“…The good growth rate of these strains along with their lipid content and profile make them competitive for a viable algal biofuel technology comparing to the terrestrial oil crops which need longer time to grow and present lower amount of lipids (Weyer et al., 2010). In addition, we observed the presence of the omega-3 and 9 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5 n-3), docosahexaenoic (DHA, 22:6 n-3) and Nervonic Acid (C24:1 n-9) acids, which have a high commercial value and are known for their beneficial effects on human health…”
