A microbial fuel cell configured for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants in soil environment
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2019 , Article)A pristine soil environment supports a healthy soil biodiversity, which is often polluted with recalcitrant compounds. The bioelectrochemical remediation of the contaminated soils using bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) ... -
A microfluidic pore model to study the migration of fine particles in single-phase and multi-phase flows in porous media
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)Fine particles within porous media may migrate with the flowing fluid and cause bridging or clogging in the pore space. Bridging and clogging reduce the flow permeability of porous media, which has a significant influence ... -
A minorization-maximization algorithm for an-based mimome secrecy rate maximization
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)We consider the problem of secrecy rate maximization in a multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper (MIMOME) wiretap channel and present an exact solution. A general system model with a multi-antenna eavesdropper and a ... -
