Ecosystems and Natural Resources Management
In recent past, attentions are towards preserving and restoring the resources of environment in terms of development of new products of environmental safety, Therefore utilization of vegetable fibres, extracts from stem, leaves, fruits and roots for the production of biopolymers / improving...
Predicting Ozone Depletion using BIn2O3 With RH based Solid Conductometric Sensor
Advanced Oxidation Processes
Ozone depletion arises due to the presence of gases like chlorofluorocarbons and halons which are liberated into the atmosphere. The region of earth’s atmosphere named as ozone shield, in which absorbs the ultra violet radiations of the sun. Although, its thickness varies periodically, this layer is...
An Intelligent Weather Prediction Model Using Optimized 1D CNN With Attention GRU
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
One of the main factors affecting human livelihoods is weather events. High weather disasters with forest fires, high air temperature, and global warming that cause drought. An efficient and accurate weather forecasting approach is required to take measures against climate disasters. Therefore, it...
Visitors’ environmental attitudes and willingness to pay for nature conservation: the case of Langtang National Park in the Himalayas
Ecosystems and Natural Resources Management
National parks are a destination for nature-based tourism (NBT) in both the developed and developing countries. National Park visitors with pro-environmental attitudes may be more likely to support the management's conservation efforts. However, managing and funding national parks and protected...
Efficiency of engineered/modified biochars-based adsorbents for removal of pollutants from aquatic environment: A critical review
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Biochar shows substantial potential to contribute as a globally applicable adsorbent to decontaminate the water system due to the ample availability of feedstocks and valuable physio-chemical surface properties. This review aims to highlight the modification technologies of biochar, the alteration...
A multiregressed COA-SAM model for predicting seasonal streamflow variability: A case study over Murray river basin
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Streamflow of the Murray River (MR) was investigated from 1978 to 2017, using statistical analysis based on Indian Ocean modes of variability. During the cool season, June to August (JJA), observations and reanalysis products have been used to analyse the relation of streamflow of MR with Indian...
In-situ Construction of TiO2/Ag Heterojunction Coating for Forming a Photocatalytic Self-cleaning Surface of Concrete
Advanced Oxidation Processes
As a widely used construction material, concrete is an ideal substrate for environmental functional materials. However, ordinary concrete lacks pollution resistance. When exposed to the natural environment, it is easily susceptible to microbial growth or organic contamination. Therefore, it is...
Experimental study of biodegradability of organic waste with industrial waste combined with effluents: a comparison by vermicomposting technology
Solid Waste Management
Vermicomposting is a mesophilic biooxidation and stabilization process of organic materials that involves the joint action of earthworm and microorganism. An experiment was conducted to prepare vermicompost using partially decomposed organic waste such as MSW, fruit waste, vegetable waste and yard...
Removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater: a review of different adsorptive approaches
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Over the past few decades, pharmaceuticals have contaminated the marine ecosystem. The entry of prescription medications into the environment, their underlying causes and problems, and effective methods for treating such contaminated water are all evaluated in this study. Adsorption is becoming a...
