Leveraging the implementation of China's environmental protection tax (EPT) policy in 2018 as a focal point, this study employs a quasi-natural experiment via the double-difference method to investigate the EPT's impact on the financial performance (FP) of publicly listed companies in heavily...

Since concrete is a fundamental component of all types of construction, many researchers are concentrating on developing High Performance Concrete (HPC) using efficient manufacturing processes. Nano silica is a quartz and silica dust this can be replaced instead of cement to achieve great strength...

This study delves into exploring and assessing ESG (Economic, Social, and Governance) performance in construction companies, utilizing China State Construction Group Corporation as a prominent example. The research aims to provide insights into sustainable practices within the construction industry...

The active components of Jordanian Peganum harmala L. (P. harmala) were investigated using both GC-MS and DFT calculations. The study focused on the methanol extract of P. harmala leaves, which was found to contain 21 significant natural components, of which 9 compounds constituted more than 2% of...

In this study, an attempt was made to characterize ferrochrome slag as cement-bound layers of flexible pavement in view of its leaching behavior. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test was conducted to assess the mobility of toxic elements in ferrochrome slag. Ferrochrome slag...

Dumping of construction wastes has become one of the serious concerns in the construction industries subsequent to the scarcity of construction materials, specifically aggregates. Extensive research works have been performed to utilize the dumped waste as aggregates, yet its substandard properties...

The sequential nitration and magnetization of waste styrofoam to form a novel adsorbent has been investigated. The novelty of this study assigned approach lies in the introduction of an anionic surface on the styrofoam, enabling it to adsorb cationic Pb2+ ion, combined with its magnetic property...

Biodiesel can be derived from the oils of fruit seeds for powering diesel engines, and this study focuses on extracting biodiesel from Manilkara Zapota seeds, which are readily available and not intended for human consumption. The primary aim is to underscore the use of non-edible oils as a cost...

Composites gain utility when filler materials are incorporated. The qualities of the material are changed when filler components are added. In recent years, the use of bio-based components in polymers and polymer composites has significantly increased. Agricultural wastes are employed in this case...
