Abstract This chapter represents a comprehensive review of Kuwait’s surface geology and stratigraphy from previous works accomplished by numerous geoscience researchers in the past decades. The Kuwait is characterized nearly flat topography, featureless to gently undulating, apart few tens meters escarpments north south, low moderately elevated hills ridges. It predominantly consists siliciclas...

Biomass as a clean and renewable source of energy has immense potential to aid in solving the crisis world. In order accurately predict fluidization behavior biomass particles using Eulerian–Eulerian approach kinetic theory for granular flows (KTGF), employing appropriate models that adapt irregularly shaped can precisely interaction between is crucial. this study, effects varying radial distri...

The surface plasmon excitation energies of noble metal nanowires are strongly dependent on the dimensions of the nanowire and the local environment, which allows for tunable optical characteristics of nanowire samples (Noguez, 2007; Nehl, C. L. & Hafner, J. H. 2008). This has great advantages for the use of nanowires in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (Orendorff et al. 2006; Sztainbuch, 200...

Colloidal and sol-gel procedures have been used to prepare heterogeneous catalysts consisting of platinum metal particles with narrow size distributions and well defined shapes dispersed on high-surface-area silica supports. The overall procedure was developed in three stages. First, tetrahedral and cubic colloidal metal particles were prepared in solution by using a procedure derived from that...

We consider a heat conducting compressible viscous fluid at rest in a rigid container and show that the thermal and the kinetic energy of arbitrary disturbances of the rest state eventually decays. REsuME. On considere un fluide compressible, visqueux et conducteur de la chaleur au repos dans un reservoir rigide. On montre que l'energie thermique et cinetique de perturbations arbitraires est am...

The objective of this study is to improve Eulerian-Eulerian models of particle-laden turbulent flow. We begin by understanding the behavior of two existing models—one proposed by Simonin von Kármán Institute of Fluid Dynamics Lecture Series, 1996 , and the other by Ahmadi Int. J. Multiphase Flow 16, 323 1990 —in the limiting case of statistically homogeneous particle-laden turbulent flow. The d...

Ontology as a creative tool plays an essential role in acquisition and organization of knowledge and its representation in a special field. The important point is that ontology is usually applied in designing information systems and is useful for providing healthcare in design of health information systems by providing a comprehensive model of information and process needs. This comprehensive r...

In 1984, Pakistan’s military ruler General Zia-ul-Haq passed an executive Ordinance that made it a criminal offence for members of the heterodox Ahmadiyya community, a selfdefined minority sect of Islam, to refer to themselves as Muslims and practice Islam in public. Ahmadis challenged the 1984 Ordinance in both the Supreme Court and the Federal Shariat Court in Pakistan – in the former on that...
