INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of the Research Institute (RI) is to study, conduct research, and develop
solutions to problems encountered in the application of modern technology to the needs of the
Kingdom, particularly in the utilization of its petroleum, mineral, and water resources. The RI is
dedicated to the goal of utilizing all the material and energy resources of the Kingdom wisely.
The Research Institute has seven technical centers designated as the Centers for Applied Physical
Sciences; Communications & Computer Research; Economics & Management Systems; Engineering
Research; Environment & Water; Petroleum and Minerals; and Refining & Petrochemicals. The
technical centers receive administrative and technical assistance from the Support Services Office and
Research and Innovation Support Office.
The RI’s Technical Information Unit has as its prime objective procurement of technical
information needed by researchers. It conducts computerized on-line literature searches on specialized
technical subjects, accessing databases in the United States, Europe, and Saudi Arabia. The Unit
obtains reprints of documents from around the world. The Technical information Unit also serves as the
repository of the technical papers published or presented by the RI staff.
The RI’s projects require reporting of results. In addition, the RI has always encouraged its
scientists and engineers to publish scientific papers, present technical papers at national and
international conferences, and organize and participate in seminars and workshops. In 2000 the RI’s
scientists and engineers published 85 publications as refereed journal papers and conference
publications.
In this bibliography, technical papers published by the RI staff in 2000 are listed under specific
subject headings. Researchers are most cordially invited to consult these papers at the Technical
Information Unit.
I would like to express my thanks to Mr. Shahzad Ahmad Siddiqui, Librarian of the Technical
Information Unit for collecting the material and verifying its integrity; to Mr. Rolando R. Maala for
designing layouts and formats of the database; and to Mr. Nezamuddin for typing and feeding these
data into the computer.
Suggestions and comments to improve the bibliography are cordially welcome.
