Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Industrial sector is regarded as the main source of carbon dioxide emission, and prior studies have mostly examined the effects of carbon reduction policies on the competitiveness of industries. However, whether and how industrial competitiveness affects carbon emission intensity (CEI) remains...
Water and Wastewater Treatment
This study employed a simple hydrothermal (HT) approach to synthesize vanadium pentoxide (V 2O 5) nanomaterials. The inherent limitations of V 2O 5, including low quantum efficiency and insufficient light sensitivity, restrict its potential for enhanced photocatalytic activity. The study...
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
In this study, various types of zeolite support (LTA, GIS-NaP1, and FAU-type Y) were coupled with CdO active sites to develop effective photocatalysts for volatile organic compounds (VOC) treatment (isopropanol as a model). Notably, both LTA-Cd and FAU-Cd samples retained the structure of the...
Marine environment and coastal management
The environmental conditions significantly influence the dynamics of macroalgae community structure and distribution . This study investigates the effects of seasonal changes on the macroalgae community structure and distribution along the South Coast of Yogyakarta. The study was conducted over...
Water Quality
The temporal variability of diversity and cell abundance of the phytoplankton community was studied in the Beni-Zid reservoir using the Utermöhl method. A total of 54 taxa were identi fi ed, belonging to seven classes: Chlorophyceae (17 taxa), Bacillariophyceae (15 taxa), Cyanophyceae (14 taxa)...
General
This study aimed to investigate in vitro the antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticholinesterase activities, and molecular docking, as well as LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis of hydromethanolic extract, ethyl acetate and N-butanol fractions from Myrtus communis leaves. LC-MS/MS analysis was conducted using 30...
Sustainable Energy
This study investigates the oxidative stability of Jatropha biodiesel and its blends with diesel over 180 days of storage. Jatropha oil was extracted using mechanical and chemical methods and then converted into biodiesel through transesterification. The biodiesel, both pure (B100) and blended at 5%...
Biodiversity conservation
In this study, we investigated the antibacterial and antifungal activities of hydro-methanolic (MeOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and butanolic (n-BuOH) extracts from the leaves of Dianthus sylvestris subsp. aristidis (Batt) Greuter & Burdet against 78 clinical and 6 reference bacterial and fungal...
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
The main objective of this work is to investigate sustainable ways to corrosion inhibition and photocatalytic applications using natural extracts and green synthesis processes. Specifically, the study investigates at the utilization of an ethanolic extract from the Arum italicum plant as a mild...
Biowaste
Biomedical waste management is critical for maintaining hospital cleanliness and hygiene, pivotal for public health. It introduces a novel approach utilizing a hybrid genetic algorithm GA–fuzzy inference system FIS for smart city waste management. By integrating a dynamic fuzzy inference engine, the...
