Statistical Downscaling of Regional Climate Model: A Case Study in Penang Island, Malaysia
Global Environmental Change
Flooding events are the most devastating natural disasters that Malaysia had experienced these recent years. It has become a challenge for the government and society to mitigate the flood events that occurs naturally, especially when climate change had worsened the situation. This study focuses on...
Synthesis, Characterization of Ag/Tio2 Nanocomposite: Its Anticancer and Anti-Bacterial and Activities
Environmental Management and Policies
TiO2 nanomaterials have gained much interest due to their importance of wide area application. In this study, TiO2 nanocomposites were modified with Ag NPs by the stober method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X...
Investigation of mechanism of metal ion adsorption from aqueous solutions using Prosopis julyflora roots: Batch and fixed bed column studies
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Adsorption of heavy metal ions (Cr, Pb & Zn) using prosopis julyflora roots has been investigated by batch adsorption and fixed bed column process. The various properties of adsorbent were analysed and the FT-IR spectra & SEM studies of prosopis julyflora powder, before and after adsorption of metal...
Performance Analysis of Multi User Optical Wireless Network (IR, or UV light for signal carrying) under Different Environmental Conditions
Environmental Management and Policies
The field of optics is flourishing day by day on account of the wide usage of the internet and its associated technologies. Free Space Optics (FSO) is a data transmission technique that employs light propagation to send data. This technology is effective in those circumstances where fiber optic...
Disaster risk management: Focused to flood hazard and its impact in Pakistan
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Recently, weather and climate related extreme occasions circumstances such as droughts, heat waves, bush fires and floods are increasing around the world. South Asian countries, that have the highest annual average number of people physically affected by natural hazards mostly by floods. Most...
Spatialization of ECOS method at micro-basin level in rural development-oriented ecotourism planning
Environmental Management and Policies
This research discusses the prediction that “within the framework of the principles of sustainable development; in regions deemed suitable for ecotourism activities, spatial planning is required, which includes a ‘spatial sensitivity’, ‘participatory understanding’ and ‘holistic use’”. Within the...
Assessment of groundwater contamination and the role of hydraulic fracturing operation in Weld County, USA
Hazardous Substances and Risk Analysis
In shale gas-producing countries, soil, and groundwater contamination due to surface spills associated with hydraulic fracturing operations is one of the most worrying problems that arise, since its elimination is not easy or cheap to carry out, and its effects persist for many years. Thus, this...
Composting of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste as an alternative to the uncontrolled disposal: The case of Kalamata Municipality (Greece)
Solid Waste Management
Kalamata’s decentralized waste management and composting scheme is a successful demonstration of the capacity of a municipality to manage its Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) by adopting methodologies that can be supported by small scale mobile equipment. According to the revised legislation, Join...
Eco-friendly filtration of Nickel from the Sludge during Electrochemical Machining of Monel 400 Alloys
Environmental Health
Electrochemical Machiningplayed a vital role in the aircraft, atomic, and healthcare industries via electrochemical machining (ECM). Even with difficult-to-machine materials. ECM has generally preferred to machine Nickel-based alloys compared to other non-conventional and conventional machining...
Recent Advances in Emission, Analysis and Remediation technique of Carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A Review
Environmental Management and Policies
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are aromatic hydrocarbons with three or more fused benzene rings that include carbon and hydrogen. These are thought to be harmful to human health, and we cannot avoid being exposed to them because they are widely disseminated throughout the environment. PAHs...
