The Representation of the Grandmother in Arab American Fiction: Alia Younis’s the Night Counter as a Case Study
No full textThe increasing phenomenon of long-living grandparents and their novel roles and positions within both family and society in today’s world has inspired authors to produce literary works that address this subject. This article, in turn, aims to offer a clear representation of the grandmother’s character in Alia Younis’s The Night Counter (2009) by analyzing the various roles that the grandmother’s character plays in the lives of her grandchildren. As an Arab-American, Younis has an extensive background in the structure, norms, and values of the Arab Lebanese family, which are reflected in the novel. By choosing the grandmother as a central character, Younis highlights the vital role that the Arab grandmother plays in the lives of her American-born grandchildren. To achieve this, the article examines the multifaceted roles Fatima assumes as a surrogate mother and as a transmitter of native culture, as demonstrated in her relationships with her grandson Amir and her granddaughter Decimal. The analysis of these intergenerational relationships confirms the grandmother’s role as a reservoir of cultural heritage in The Night Counter (2009), portrayed as someone who persistently intervenes to re-educate and redirect her grandchildren towards native culture and away from American culture, sometimes leading to tensions and conflicts between the two generations

A Comparative Study of Cleaning Methods across Various Dust Types: Optimizing Cleaning Techniques for Dust-Affected Photovoltaic Panels
Get PDFSolar energy is increasingly crucial for generating electricity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels is substantially affected by dust accumulation. This research aims to enhance the performance and longevity of solar panels by evaluating various eco-friendly cleaning techniques for different dust types: Yellow Sand, Normal Dust, and Mud. The methods tested include low, medium, and high-water flow rates, medium flow rates with a wiper, compressed medium flow, and air blowing. Key performance metrics such as temperature, current, voltage, and power were measured before and after cleaning to assess effectiveness. The results demonstrate that low water flow rates were the most effective method for Yellow Sand, achieving a 24.21% increase in power output and an 18.63% increase in current. In contrast, this method provided only moderate improvement for Mud, with a 20.1% increase in power and 16% in current, and was least effective for Normal Dust, showing minor gains of 5.77% in power and 4.26% in current. Medium flow rates with a wiper proved particularly beneficial for Normal Dust, resulting in a 62% increase in power and 54.8% in current, while high flow rates yielded significant improvements for Mud (157.3% in power) and Normal Dust (95.7% in power). Compressed medium flow rates performed exceptionally well for Mud, with a 151.48% increase in power and a 142.92% boost in current. Air blowing, while generally effective across all dust types, was especially advantageous in scenarios where water conservation is essential. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring cleaning strategies to specific dust types for optimal PV panel performance. Future research should explore hybrid cleaning approaches, assess long-term impacts on panel durability, and conduct cost-benefit analyses to refine and optimize cleaning methods for enhancing the efficiency and durability of solar installations
Effect of Dual-fuelled CNG and Gasoline on Spark Ignition engine performance and Emissions behaviors at different loads
Get PDFEngine emissions are one of numerous factors that have detrimentally affected the environment, such as global warming, which is the result of growing exhaust gases, practically carbon dioxide (CO2). These emissions have substantially influenced researchers to develop strategic initiatives to minimize the carbon contents of fuels. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of internal combustion (SI) engines fueled by gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG) blends. The experiments are performed using a HONDA 4-stroke, single-cylinder, and air-cooled SI engine. Five CNG concentrations are evaluated, the concentrations range from 0.5 to 2.5 L/min with a 0.5 L/min step increase. In addition, an electrical loading board contains ten lamps of 0.5 KW power and 8 KVA Variac is used to generate and control the load. The exhaust emission factor, exhaust Gases temperature (Tex), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and brake specific fuel combustion (BSFC) are parametric indicators of engine efficiency. The best blend ratio was 1.0 L/min, which improved the average thermal efficiency to 22.1% compared to gasoline at 17.77%, resulting in a 24.42% improvement
A Greening the Diesel: Vegetable Oil Biodiesel Blends for Cleaner Emissions and Improved Direct Injection Diesel Engine performance
Get PDFIn this study, we conducted comprehensive experiments to assess and compare the performance of pure diesel fuel against biodiesel produced from corn oil in various blend ratios (15/85, 30/70, 45/55, and 60/40) in a conventional four-stroke, direct-injection diesel engine, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at the end of the compression stroke, allowing for efficient combustion and power generation over four distinct phases: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Each fuel blend was tested at an engine speed of 16,000 rpm across different load conditions (low, medium, and high). Key performance metrics, including volumetric fuel consumption, exhaust smoke, and emissions of regulated gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and total unburned hydrocarbons (HC), were systematically measured. From these measurements, specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency were derived. We analyzed the differences in performance and emissions between the various blends and pure diesel fuel to better understand the impact of vegetable oil incorporation. Additionally, theoretical principles in diesel engine combustion, considering the unique physical and chemical properties of each fuel blend, were employed to facilitate a nuanced interpretation of the observed engine performance and emissions
