Background: For most Arab countries, the coming ten years will reveal a real challenge with their changing age structure.Currently, a demographic window of opportunity is unlocked in many of those countries with the increase in the fraction of population in the working-age.Hence, the study investigates the relation between population growth and dep
The primary goal of this study is to investigate the effect of increasing battery size and driving range to the environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs).To this end, we compile cradle-to-grave inventories for EVs in four size segments to determine their climate change potential.A second objective is to compare the lifecycle emissions of EVs
Satellite machine-type communication plays a crucial role in the maritime Internet of Things.The realization of such a system, 5 Door Fridge i.e., the VHF data exchange (VDES) satellite system, however, faces many technical challenges.Due to its global broadcasting nature, the interference generated from the emissions of the VDES satellite space st
