A review of using deep learning from an ecology perspective to address climate change and air pollution
Ecological effects of Environmental change
Artificial intelligence techniques that can shatter pattern recognition accuracy records, has recently attracted a lot of attention. With its flexibility and capacity to handle massive and complicated datasets, deep learning has transformed numerous academic domains, including bioinformatics and...
Environmental regulation, hog scale production and the synergy of pollution control and carbon reduction
Environmental Management and Policies
The synergy of pollution control and carbon reduction is conducive to promoting the green transformation of the economy. Based on China’s 30 provincial administrative panel data from 2002 to 2020, using the elastic concept to measure the synergy index and the panel fixed effect model to carry out...
Pine cone ash stabilization of expansive soils
Solid Waste Management
The use of appropriate waste materials to stabilize problematic soils, such as expansive soils that are responsible for geotechnical damage, is a common practice in geotechnical engineering. This study presents the use of pulverized ash from the combustion of pine cone (PC) waste as a stabilizing...
Potential of the Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa( Rhizobium Bacteria for Nitrate and Phosphate Removal from the Sugarcane Industry Wastewater
Water and Wastewater Treatment
To conduct this experiment, rhizospheric bacteria were isolated from the root nodules of alfalfa plants (Medicago sativa) in the Khuzestan province during the spring season. For the molecular identification of superior isolates, DNA extraction and expression of 16S rDNA were performed. To...
Research on high performance green concrete using nano particles and organic materials: an eco-friendly approach
General
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...
Water Quality Prediction using Statistical, Ensemble and Hybrid models
Water Quality
Water is an essential elixir for several living organisms to function and survive. But it gets contaminated through several sources such as industrial wastes, oil spills, marine dumping, etc. With a growing population, availability of good quality water is of grave importance. This has become the...
Potential risk assessment of respiratory exposure to heavy metals in the air dust for the metropolitans of Khuzestan Province, Iran
Air Quality
The present study aimed to compare the concentration of 14 metals in the air of 4 cities of Khuzestan province (Ahvaz, Dezful, Mahshahr, and Abadan) in dusty and non-dustynon-dustyy conditions, and determine risk and non-carcinogenic risk in a six-month period from 2017 to 2018 (autumn, winter, and...
Optimizing Drought Resilience in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) Through Synergistic Actions of Drought-Tolerant Rhizobacterial Strains and Brassinosteroids Hormone Application: A Jar Trial Study
Ecology, environmental change and management
The study addresses the critical issue of water scarcity in agriculture, which causes significant losses by disrupting plant-water connections and increasing oxidative damage to biological components. In this study, we evaluated the synergistic potential of pre-isolated and identified...
Development of sustainable masonry solid blocks by the incorporation of industrial and agro waste.
Solid Waste Management
Bricks have been extensively adopted for centuries and continue to play a vital role in the construction industry. Nevertheless of its dependable workability and accessibility, fired clay brick production has been recognized for its comparatively high energy and resource requirements. Traditional...
Impact of ultraviolet radiation on human skin owing to ozone depletion
Advanced Oxidation Processes
Depletion of ozone molecules in the stratospheric layer surges the flow of ultraviolet (UV) rays on the surface of the earth. Generally, UV rays are the hazardous energy waves emitted from the sun that can cause acute and chronic effects on bio species. Exposure to UV rays in humans causes skin...
