Effect of different microplastics on the mobilization of soil inorganic phosphorus by exomycorrhizal fungi
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) can affect the phosphorus (P) cycle in soil by changing soil properties and the function of microbial communities, but their impact on soil P availability remains unclear. To explore the effects of different types of MPs on the mobilization of soil inorganic P by exomycorrhizal...
In-vitro assessment of α-amylase, photoprotective, antimicrobial activities, and chemical composition of Asphodelus microcarpus (Liliaceae) Essential Oils from Constantine (Eastern Algeria)
Biodiversity conservation
This study examines the antidiabetic, photoprotective, and antibacterial properties of Asphodelus microcarpus (Liliaceae) essential oil (EO) collected from Constantine, Eastern Algeria. The EO was obtained by hydro-distillation and the composition was determined by Gas chromatography (GC) and gas...
Marine Ecological Damage Assessment Model for Offshore Oil Extraction
Microplastics in the marine environment
With the progress of society and the development of the economy, people’s awareness of environmental protection is also becoming stronger. Therefore, the damage caused by marine oil spills caused by offshore oil extraction to marine ecology is also receiving more and more attention from people...
Climatic Influence on Solar Saltpans with specific reference to Thoothukudi District
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Eco-sensitive Coastal Solar Saltpan (CSS), also known as Saltpan, provides many essential ecological and societal functions. However, changes in coastal saltpan land use resulted in the loss of salt production activities and impacted the socio-economic status of salt workers along the coast of Tamil...
Analysis of the performance, combustion and emission of Hydrogen Induction in a CRDI engine
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Since hydrogen gas is a plentiful element in the universe, using it as fuel for IC engines has the potential to reduce pollution while also improving the engine performance. Hydrogen gas as fuel has many advantages, including a high energy density, a rapid flame speed, clean burning, and a short...
Do Technological Innovation and Environmental Regulation Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions? Evidence from China
Ecology, environmental change and management
The Chinese industry holds a significant position in the national economy. However, industrial carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions account for a large proportion of the total CO 2 emissions, which has a negative impact on the environment. To identify the factors affecting industrial CO 2 emissions, a...
Optimizing Resource Allocation for Regional Employment Governance:A Dynamic Fuzzy-Set QCA Analysis of Low-Carbon Pilot Cities in China
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
This study employs a dynamic fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) approach, utilizing panel data from 121 low-carbon pilot cities in China from 2007 to 2019. Grounded in complex systems theory and the triple bottom line framework (Economy-Society-Environment), the research aims to...
Neural Network Approach Modelling Mechanical Characteristics of Fly ash, Pond ash and Bottom Ash integrated Geopolymer Composites.
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Key features for the quality assertion of geopolymer composites are the vital strength characteristics of geopolymer composites. In this work, an artificial neural network data-driven model was employed for predicting 28-day vital strength characteristics for geopolymer composites incorporated with...
Assessment of surface Water Quality for Drinking and Irrigation Purposes for Two Dams in the Semi-Arid Region of Northeast Algeria
Water Quality
The surface water quality of Timgad and Yabous dams in the semi-arid region of northeast Algeria was evaluated using physicochemical data collected monthly from May 2023 to April 2024. Parameters including temperature (T), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride (Cl⁻...
Strength and Durability Studies on Concrete using Cashew Nut Shell Ash (CNSA) waste as Supplementary Materials
Solid Waste Management
As the world population is expected to increase significantly, there is a greater need for housing and, as a result, building materials. Conventional manufacturing methods for materials such as concrete involve substantial energy usage and substantial release of carbon emissions, which contribute to...
