Enzyme-Enhanced CO₂ Capture in Carbonate Solution Using Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactors: A Novel Numerical Approach

by Khelifi Mohamed Nadir Saouli Ouacil Boutamine Zineb

Climate change

Due to the widespread use of fossil fuels, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, have increased dramatically. Through the simulation of a two-dimensional (2D), bovine carbonic anhydrase (bCA)-mediated mechanism, this work presents a novel approach method...

Improving Ozone Layer Depletion Forecasting with Hybrid Bi-Directional LSTM with CNN Classifier Model

by Ali JAVED

Air pollution and health

Due to the methane emission from the mining of coal and industrial byproducts including CFCs, depletion of the ozone layer causes raised global warming and worsens climate change. One chlorine atom can lead to the destruction of 1,00,000 ozone molecules causing depletion at a much faster rate than...

Machine Learning based Random Forest Algorithm for Prediction of Soil Organic Carbon Decompositions

by Arul Pushpa Arthi Jeyapaul Satish Kumar

Environmental management and policy

The Kanyakumari District was selected as a study area due to its diverse flora and favorable climate and soil conditions. Various remote sensing parameters were derived from Landsat 8 and 9 satellite data, including NDVI, BSI, NDMI, NDWI, and SAVI. Moreover, data on land use and land cover (LULC)...

Assessing the impact of inbound tourism on carbon emissions: Evidence from the Belt and Road Initiative countries

by Ma Wei Ma Xiayi Zhuang Daoyuan Shi Xiangchen Gao Yue

Environmental management and policy

As an important vehicle for implementing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), inbound tourism not only promotes economic growth among participating countries but also plays a significant role in optimizing the flow of production factors and enhancing green low-carbon cooperation. Based on the panel...
