The electricity and potable water production sector in Kuwait depends solely on oil and gas fired generation technologies. Complete reliance on oil and gas has negative impact on the country's economy and environment, and hence, calls for exploration for alternative energy sources. This paper presents results of analysis of including renewable energy technologies within the generation inventory...

This study aims to measure how much the industrial sector suppresses the development process to be sustainable in Iran. We employ a quadratic-log form of regression model to test the Industrial Environmental Kuznets Hypothesis. In addition, we use a Vector Auto-Regressive model to estimate the nexus among the industrial growth, income inequality, environmental pollution, and energy consumption ...

The chemical properties of oil from arils of both ripe and unripe ackee (Blighia sapida) were evaluated with a view to investigating the variations in their domestic and industrial applications. The chemical analyses of ripe and unripe aril oils respectively in different locations showed the percentage yield of oil from 54.91±2.75 to 78.25±3.91; 37.78±1.51 to 54.61 ± 2.18, iodine values of 90.0...

In the context of recent oil prices fall and resulting budgetary problems faced by KSA, it is very interesting to examine the country’s overdependence on oil revenues. In this paper, we examine whether extreme oil dependence for Saudi Arabia is the symptom of Dutch Disease. We first provide a brief review of the literature on Dutch Disease and the natural resource curse. We then discuss the sym...

Energy plays a significant role in today's developing societies. The role of energy demands to make decisions and policy with regard to its production, distribution, and supply. The vital importance of energy, especially fossil fuels, is a factor affecting agricultural production. This factor has a great influence on the production of agricultural products in Iran. The forecast of the con...

toxicology, as a multidisciplinary field, provides career opportunities for graduates with medical, or veterinarian, pharmacological, pharmaceutical, biological, microbiological, molecular biological, chemical, biochemical, and genetic backgrounds. today, however, specialists with a university degree in toxicology or a postgraduate training in toxicology have a clear advantage. postgraduate dip...

" …the price of electricity was found to be a significant determinant of electricity demand in most cases with the expected inverse relationship (higher prices mean less consumption).The results provided no evidence that the responsiveness of Ontario industrial demand to the price of electricity during time periods when demand is the strongest has strengthened since market opening except, perha...
