Circular Economy and Bioeconomy
Biodiesel is thought to be more environmentally benign than fuels derived from petroleum, as well as less expensive and able to provide greener energy, all of which have favorably impacted the bioeconomy. Utilizing heterogeneous activated carbon catalysts to produce eco-friendly biodiesel from dried...
Climate change
Climate change acceleration and intensifying global carbon reduction efforts have created an urgent need to understand how climate transition risks affect carbon emission efficiency in energy enterprises. Our study breaks new ground by developing climate risk indicators through machine learning and...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Hydrological monitoring in urban regions is crucial to analyze hydrology and manage floods. Nevertheless, monitoring flood overflow in urban areas including the degree of flood overflow is frequently insufficient. Hydrological models' ability to provide early flood warnings is limited by this...
Air pollution and health
The purpose of our study was to assess the adverse outcomes of exposure to toluene (Tol) on the male reproductive system and to investigate the potential efficacy of Punica granatum juice (PJ) and peel aqueous extract (PAE) against these effects. Rats were divided into the following groups: Control...
Sustainable Energy
Elucidating the mechanism of the correlation between urban spatial agglomeration processes and carbon emission levels can provide valuable scientific underpinnings for town planning under the constraints of low-carbon goals. This study investigates the characteristics of urban spatial agglomeration...
Climate change
As global climate change intensifies, with frequent extreme weather events, the stability of vegetation is severely threatened. This study (2002–2023) uses NDVI, temperature, and precipitation data, along with methods like pixel binary, trend analysis, and multiple regression residual analysis, to...
Air pollution and health
This study presents an innovative approach to air quality assessment by integrating low-cost sensor networks with line source modeling. The research focuses on monitoring air pollutants in urban environments, particularly along a busy highway corridor in Chennai, India. A portable sensor kit was...
Environmental management and policy
Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems in the world, owing to their ecosystem characteristics. Therefore, they offer rich biodiversity in the areas where they are located. However, despite all legal regulations, wetlands are at risk both globally and in Türkiye. This risk is mainly caused...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The influence of land-use patterns on water quality in the Huaihe River Basin was analyzed using the Nemerow index, correlation and multiple linear regression analysis based on the measured data from 62 sampling sites in the Huaihe River Basin (China). In the point buffer zone, a significant...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The Karun River, the longest and highest water flow river in Iran, has experienced heavy and trace metal pollution in recent years. While previous studies have evaluated the water quality of the river, not all sections from north to south have been examined for all metals. To address this gap, a...
