Trade Flow and Nation Brand Distance: A Structural Gravity Model Approach حسب AL BESHER, HUDA ISMAIL

"…The empirical findings shows that NBD influence both export and import volume in which less distant countries in term of nation brands are able to overcome the negative effect of geographical distance which can stimulates the export mainly and import flow to some extent. The results on the impact of NBD on FTA and trade flows provides some interesting insights as the there is a negative and significant moderation impact of NBD on the relationship between FTA and both export and import volume which suggest that a decrease of NBD will increase the effect of FTA on trade flow. …"

Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches حسب ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

"…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. Soiling, which is the deposition of materials (usually dust) that obstruct solar radiation falling on the panel and is one of the major factors of production losses in PV panels, and thus managing it will result in a positive economic and technical impact on PV plant feasibility. …"
