, 2020 , Article)
The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus is the subject of much research focusing on different aspects, a wide range of issues, and development of a variety of models and tools. This study takes a different approach by developing ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Sintered ceria pellets of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99gcm−3 were treated in a hydrogen flow at 1atm and various temperatures. The electrical conductivity was measured in situ while hydrogen gas was flowing over the CeO2. ...

(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) sludge is a specific wastewater treatment by-product, which is generated during the industrial process of natural gas conversion to transportation fuels. This least studied sludge is pathogen-free and ...
Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Electrostatic (ES) wave instabilities are assumed to be at the origin of radio emissions from interplanetary shocks, and solar coronal sources are most likely induced by electron beams, more energetic but less dense than ...
Emergent community architecture despite distinct diversity in the global whale shark (Rhincodon typus) epidermal microbiome
(
Nature Research
