Estimation of Co2 Emissions of the Vehicles Transport Sector in the State of Kuwait

Abstract

During the past decades, the State of Kuwait has witnessed population growth, significant economic development and a rise in the level of income. This has resulted in a significant increase in the number of vehicles, which is vital for the local inhabitants and this has led to increased air pollutants, particularly in urban areas. This study aims to estimate the emission of carbon dioxide from the transport sector in The State of Kuwait using IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories for the period from 2001 to 2010. According to the policy analysis made, there are no policies directly aimed at reducing the number of registered vehicles which shown an increase of 6% per year for the same period as compared to an annual population growth rate of 2.67%. Finally, contribution of vehicular emissions of CO2, especially in urban areas, was estimated by the results of this study, and thus it is recommended that policies be developed to especially reduce the growing number of vehicles. Additional recommendations include the acceleration of the implementation of high efficiency mass transport projects. Furthermore, the use of awareness campaigns for citizens is highly recommended.

Effect of extrusion variables on the extrudate characteristics of fish muscle-soy protein blend and optimization of these variables

“…Therefore, the above values of the parameter selected as the optimum ones for the extrusion of fish muscle and soybean protein mixture. Other characteristics of the extruded products, including tensile strength, protein content, crude fat content and digestibility were 3224.6 g, 67.9%, 1.56% and 87.4% under optimal process conditions (Aldaihani et al, 2017).…”

“…0 mm s , test speed 0.5 mm s , post speed 1.0 -1 mm s , maximum tensile range 15.0 mm and A/TG probe. The tensile strength of the extrudate were expressed as maximum stress.Determination of in vitro digestibility of extrudates: Samples of extrudate were analyzed for protein and fat content(National Standards Authority of China, 2003;Aldaihani et al, 2017). Two grams of each sample after fat-determination were added to the conical plastic tubes containing 150 ml of pre-warmed 0.2% -1…”

Development and Validation of Three-Dimensional Human Range of Motion Measurement System

“…The information can be easily added, modified, deleted, searched or else. Test interface includes a control window, a display of a threedimensional skeleton model in the test, a display of a histogram of the test data, the maximum range of motion for each axis direction, and other data displays (Aldaihani and Alenezi 2017). The data names in the software will automatically change with the actual test joints.…”

Porous Graphene-Manganese Dioxide Nanowires Composite Film for High Volumetric Performance Supercapacitors

“…The obtained PGNs-MnO2 NWs film showed a high volumetric specific capacitance of 206 F cm -3 at 5 mV s -1 in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution. And the capacitance remains 99.5% after 2000 cycles of the cyclic voltammetry method [25][26][27].…”
