A mixed model-based Johnson's relative weights for eco-efficiency assessment: the case for global food consumption
Abdella, Galal M.; Küçükvar, Murat; Ismail, Radwa; Abdelsalam, Abdelsalam G.; Cihat Onat, Nuri; Dawoud, Osama (Elsevier Inc., 2021)Abstract Eco-efficiency composite indicators are widely accepted as the ratio of environmental impact to created economic value. These indicators are realistic measures for assessing sustainability performance considering ... -
Modification of hydraulic conductivity of sandy soil using seawater and alkaline solutions
Dawoud, Osama (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020)Altering soil characteristics by precipitation of the calcium carbonate between soil particles is attracting the interest of geotechnical engineers for a wide range of applications. However, current applied approaches still ... -
A spatial multi-criteria analysis approach for planning and management of community-scale desalination plants
Dawoud, Osama; Ahmed, Taha; Abdel-Latif, Mahmoud; Abunada, Ziyad (Elsevier, 2020)The rapid deterioration of the groundwater quality in the Gaza Strip-Palestine has increased reliance on community-scale brackish-water desalination plants (CBDPs). However, the escalating numbers of CBDPs is associated ...
