Chrysymenia tigillis sp. nov. is described on the basis of a few specimens collected from Dhofar, Sultanate of Oman. The new species is known only from southern Oman, a region of the northern Arabian Sea that is strongly impacted by the upwelling from the summertime monsoon. It is distinguished from other species of the genus by the simple nature of the blades, their dimensions (to 75 cm in len...

The optimal shunt capacitor allocation problem is the determination of the location and sizes of the capacitor to be placed in distribution networks in an optimal manner to reduce the energy losses and peak power losses of the networks. This paper shows the capability of Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique in solving such problem. It includes a study done in a real distribution networks in Muscat,...

Occupational therapy theory and philosophy are broadly considered to be based on Western cultural values. In contrast, the application of theory and practice in the Sultanate of Oman, historically based on traditional Middle Eastern and Islamic cultural values, provides a case exemplar, which highlights both paradigmatic differences and cultural dissonance. Drawing on the experiences of occupat...

A new fossiliferous locality is discovered from the upper Eocene Aydim Formation, in Dhofar, Southern Sultanate of Oman. A left ulna of rsinoitherium is described, and cranial and postcranial specimens found in close proximity are referred to the same taxon. The locality is romising for the recovery of additional fossil specimens. Moreover, the presence of Arsinoitherium in Oman is of biogeogra...
