Mapping biodiversity conservation priorities for protected areas: A case study in Xishuangbanna Tropical Area, China
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Global biodiversity is declining rapidly, posing a severe threat to ecosystem functions and services. Protected Areas (PAs) can be extremely effective in protecting biodiversity, but conservation gaps arise as a result of ...
Graphite powder mixed with black paint on the absorber plate of the solar still to enhance yield: An experimental investigation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The main goal of present article is to see how adding graphite powder and black paint to the absorber plate can increase solar still yield. Therefore, two identical in size solar stills called modified solar still (MSS) ...
Phase, microstructure and tensile strength of Al–Al2O3–C hybrid metal matrix composites
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of alumina (Al2O3)–carbon (C) reinforcement on the properties of aluminium matrix. Aluminium matrix reinforced with Al2O3–carbon (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) in equal ...
Facile synthesis of NiO-CYSO nanocomposite for photocatalytic and antibacterial applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Ceria based metal oxide nanocomposites (combination with rare earth oxides) have become irreplaceable and tend to display great functioning in all kinds of arenas like as photocatalytic, electrochemical and biological. ...
Structural and functional properties of rare earth-based (NiO-CGO) nanocomposite produced by effective multiple doping approach via co-precipitation
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2021 , Article)
Several metal oxide nanocomposites produced by multiple doping approaches with a combination of rare earth metals tend to show improved performance in various areas such as electrochemical, photocatalytic, and biomedical. ...

(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
A facile and inexpensive way have been developed to fabricate robust self-cleaning superhydrophobic coating by depositing polymer layer on candle soot (CS) surface using dip coating method. The stability and robustness of ...
A theoretical study of gas adsorption on α-quartz (0 0 1) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on the “dense” (0 0 1) surface of α-quartz has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas ...
Structural, wear and thermal behaviour of Cu–Al2O3–graphite hybrid metal matrix composites
(
SAGE Publications Ltd

The aim of the present study is to investigate the structural, wear and thermal behaviour of Cu–Al2O3–graphite hybrid metal matrix composites. Copper matrix composites with Al2O3–graphite reinforcement (0.5-0.5, 1.0-1.0, ...
The maxima in northerly wind speeds and wave heights over the Arabian Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Red Sea derived from 40 years of ERA5 data
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Recent studies point out the importance of northerly winds and waves in the Arabian Sea, especially those due to shamal and makran events in addition to the northeast monsoon system. We have analyzed climatology and trends ...
