Investigating The Contribution Of Historic Site Interpretation Centers To Meaning Making: The Case Of Bahrain, May Jalal Al Saffar
Investigating The Contribution Of Historic Site Interpretation Centers To Meaning Making: The Case Of Bahrain, May Jalal Al Saffar
Dissertations
This dissertation investigates the role and contribution of the Historic Site Interpretation Centers in the process of meaning-making from the historic site to the visitors, as well as their visiting experience and attendance at the same settings. The Historic Site Interpretation Centers exhibit a unique museum typology dedicated to sites of historical significance, offering a dual mode of interpretation, labeled as ‘in situ’ and ‘in context’. The objective was to evaluate the physical attributes and applied display strategies in conveying meaning from historic sites to visitors and, to explore the resulting stakeholders’ (i.e. service providers and visitors) perception and emotional …
Activated Carbon Nanofibers From Renewable (Lignin) And Waste Resources (Recycled Pet) And Their Adsorption Capacity Of Refractory Sulfur Compounds From Fossil Fuels, Efstratios Svinterikos
Activated Carbon Nanofibers From Renewable (Lignin) And Waste Resources (Recycled Pet) And Their Adsorption Capacity Of Refractory Sulfur Compounds From Fossil Fuels, Efstratios Svinterikos
Dissertations
The development of advanced engineering materials such as carbon nanofibers from low-cost, renewable and/or waste resources is a key aspect of sustainability. In addition, escalating concerns related to the presence of noxious sulfur compounds in commercial fuels are driving the need to develop more efficient desulfurization technologies. In this PhD dissertation research, activated carbon nanofibers were produced from a blend of lignin with recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (r-PET) and they were successfully tested for the adsorption of refractory sulfur compounds from a model diesel fuel. Starting from different lignin/r-PET mass ratios, precursor nanofibers of different morphologies were initially prepared using the …
Electrical Characterization And Detection Of Blood Cells And Stones In Urine, Nida Nasir
Electrical Characterization And Detection Of Blood Cells And Stones In Urine, Nida Nasir
Dissertations
Urine contains an immense amount of information related to its physical, chemical, and biological components; hence, it is a promising tool in detecting various diseases. Available methods for detecting hematuria (blood in the urine) are not accurate. Results are influenced by many factors, such as, health and vitals of the patients, settings of the equipment and laboratories, which leads to false positive or false negative outputs. This necessitates the development of new, accurate, and easy-access methods that save time and effort. This study demonstrates a label-free and accurate method for detecting the presence of red and white blood cells (RBCs …
Enhanced Label Free Normal And Cancer Cells Classification Using Combined Parametric Modeling And Optical Techniques, Ayshathul Fouzia Abdul Gani
Enhanced Label Free Normal And Cancer Cells Classification Using Combined Parametric Modeling And Optical Techniques, Ayshathul Fouzia Abdul Gani
Dissertations
The development of label-free methods for cell classifications has been driven by the importance of early detection and identification of cancer disease. The future point-of-care (POC) treatment methods require rapid and real-time cancer screening techniques. As the labelled methods of cell classification are time-consuming processes and require a large amount of sample preparation along with skilled persons, they do not appear to be suitable for POC treatment methods. This necessitates the importance of such development. The label-free methods incorporate the biophysical properties of cells instead of biomarkers. The optical properties of cells have been frequently utilized for cell classification. This …
