Thermal integrity testing of cast in situ piles: An alternative interpretation approach
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Integrity testing of deep cast in situ concrete foundations is challenging due to the intrinsic nature of how these foundations are formed. Several integrity test methods have been developed and are well established, but ...
First principle study of transition metals codoped MoS2 as a gas sensor for the detection of NO and NO2 gases
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Exposure to nitrogen oxides (NOx) has been reported to seriously affect the respiratory systems. More precisely, breathing NOx may lead to the appearance of asthma symptoms, and may also result in the infection with asthma ...
Impact of urban sewage sludge on soil physico-chemical properties and phytotoxicity as influenced by soil texture and reuse conditions
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Report)
Urban sewage sludge (USS) is increasingly applied to agricultural soils, but mixed results have been reported because of variations in reuse conditions. Most field trials have been conducted in cropping systems, which ...
Inefficiency source tracking: evidence from data envelopment analysis and random forests
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
In the present era of complex environments, banks operate in a more dynamic environment, which in turn, affects their relative efficiency. Traditional Data envelopment analysis (DEA) models are widely used to measure ...
Learning in lockdown: Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on interprofessional education
(
Mark Allen Publishing Ltd.
, 2021 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the learning experiences of students undertaking health and social care programmes across the globe. In the UK, the Nursing and Midwifery Council introduced emergency ...
Conformal Invariants in Simply Connected Domains
(
Springer Link
, 2020 , Article)
This paper studies the numerical computation of several conformal invariants of simply connected domains in the complex plane including, the hyperbolic distance, the reduced modulus, the harmonic measure, and the modulus ...
Monitoring the variation of soil quality with sewage sludge application rates in absence of rhizosphere effect
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Agricultural soils in semi-arid regions have frequently been degraded due to adverse climatic conditions, organic matter depletion, and poor farming practices. To enhance soil quality, this study examines the reuse of ...
Linkages between big data analytics, circular economy, sustainable supply chain flexibility, and sustainable performance in manufacturing firms
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2021 , Article)
The digital supply chains enabled by Big Data Analytics (BDA) capabilities have become a business significance to develop a competitive and sustainable supply chain. The implementation of BDA for sustainable supply chains ...
Use of lignite as a low-cost material for cadmium and copper removal from aqueous solutions: Assessment of adsorption characteristics and exploration of involved mechanisms
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Lignite, as an available and low-cost material, was tested for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) removal from aqueous solutions under various static experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiency ...
Co-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbon based gas sensor for sensitive detection of H2S: DFT study
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, we present a highly sensitive gas sensor for the detection of poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) based on copper and zinc co-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbon (Cu/Zn-ZGNR). The electronic properties as well ...
