Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes حسب Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

"…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …"

Competition vs cooperation: An agent based model for sustainable tomatoes’ import system حسب Sarah Namany (17268922)

"…Based on the research findings, a competitive global market can bring economic benefits to Qatar as an importing nation, but this approach also entails substantial <u>water consumption</u> and results in significant environmental emissions. Conversely, collaboration among exporting countries demonstrates a potential 20% reduction in water usage and a 15% decrease in environmental emissions compared to the competitive scenario, offering enhanced environmental performance albeit at<u> higher economic costs</u>. …"
