( Academic Press , 2017 , Article Review)Electrocoagulation is an effective electrochemical approach for the treatment of different types of contaminated water and has received considerable attention in recent years due its high efficiency in dealing with numerous ... -
A comparison of the macrofauna of natural and replanted mangroves in Qatar
( Academic Press , 1999 , Article)The present investigation quantifies the biodiversity of the Brachyura and fish living within the natural mangrove Avicennia marina, salt marsh find replanted mangal, and compares relevant features of the abiotic and biotic ... -
Effective and sustainable adsorbent materials for oil spill cleanup based on a multistage desalination process
( Academic Press , 2021 , Article)Oil spills, which are often caused by crude oil transportation accidents, contaminate coastal waters and land and can harm aquatic life, seabirds, humans, and the entire ecosystem. Ocean currents and wind complicate oil ... -
Impact of alternate Mn doping in ternary nanocomposites on their structural, optical and antimicrobial properties: Comparative analysis of photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)The present study was done to investigate and compare the photocatalytic and antibacterial activity of two in situ Manganese doped ternary nanocomposites. The dual ternary hybrid systems comprised Mn-doped Ag2WO4 coupled ... -
Influence of polyelectrolyte architecture on the electrokinetics and dewaterability of industrial membrane bioreactor activated sludge
( Academic Press , 2019 , Article)Improvement of sludge dewaterability is greatly hindered by the presence of large amounts of interstitial water molecules trapped in the sludge as a result of strong hydrophilic characteristics. This study has investigated ... -
Optimization of linear zigzag insert metastructures for low-frequency vibration attenuation using genetic algorithms
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Vibration suppression remains a crucial issue in the design of structures and machines. Recent studies have shown that with the use of metamaterial inspired structures (or metastructures), considerable vibration attenuation ... -
Physical drivers of chlorophyll and nutrients variability in the Southern-Central Arabian Gulf
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)The southern-central Arabian Gulf demonstrates a poor understanding of nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in physical-biogeochemical settings. Here, using data of chlorophyll, nutrients and hydrographic parameters collected ... -
Real-time vibration-based structural damage detection using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Structural health monitoring (SHM) and vibration-based structural damage detection have been a continuous interest for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers over the decades. Early and meticulous damage detection has ... -
Simulation studies of non-toxic tin-based perovskites: Critical insights into solar performance kinetics through comparison with standard lead-based devices
( Academic Press , 2019 , Article)We have simulated the operation and functionality of a working Sn-based perovskite solar cell device using GPVDM and compared it against a Pb-based device. The results are extremely promising in that they showcase comparable ... -
Template free synthesis of CuO nanocomposite for catalytic hydrogenation of CO2
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)Increasing CO2 emissions from industry has disastrous consequences for the environment. Effective utilization of CO2 as a carbon source can address the environmental challenges, and we can address the energy crisis caused ...
