Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron ...

Internet of Things (IoT)-based systems are rapidly evolving, offering promising technological, financial and social prospects in multiple domains, including healthcare. Medical systems, integrated with IoT features, can ...

In the last decade, extended efforts have been poured into energy efficiency. Several energy consumption datasets were henceforth published, with each dataset varying in properties, uses and limitations. For instance, ...

Resource recovery from natural reserves is appealing and Li extraction from different brines is in the forefront. Li extraction by membranes is reviewed in the literature much more than electrochemical processes. However, ...

The state-of-the-art thermoelectric technology owns a unique capability of direct, noise-free, and efficient conversion of waste heat into valuable electricity. The conventional thermoelectric generators are complex and ...

Background: Osteoporosis is a major public health concern and is highly prevalent worldwide. There is increasing evidence about the importance of nutrition to this chronic condition. Aim: In this literature review, we ...

This narrative review summarizes the main findings of observational studies (case-control and cohort) as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the role of nutrients and dietary patterns on pancreatic cancer (PC) ...

This paper explores the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) using two different environment indicators: the carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and the ecological footprint (EF) in Qatar over the 1980-2011 period. ...

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are a newly emerged technology for energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment. Much effort as well as significant progress has been made in advancing this technology towards practical ...

Saline water such as seawater or brackish water is a potential source for drinking water or for non-potable applications, but the existing desalination techniques are energy intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need ...
