Advanced Weather Prediction based on Hybrid Deep Gated Tobler’s Hiking Neural Network and robust Feature Selection for tackling Environmental Challenges

by .J J. Jenifer Rayen S. Ramesh T. Rajendran S.

Issue 4

Climate change

Human activities are directly affected by weather events. In particular, extreme weather events like forest fires, global warming, drought-causing high air temperatures make human life challenging. The use of reliable and accurate weather prediction models is essential to take precautions against...

Environmental assessment of corn starch based biodegradable plastic with glycerol and fructose

by Lakshmiganthan S. Seshagiri Rao V. Sathish R. Srividhya S.

Issue 4

Solid Waste Management

Plastic has gained significant popularity due to its lightweight, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional materials like metals and clay. However, its non-biodegradable nature has led to an alarming escalation in environmental pollution, posing a severe threat to ecosystems. To...

Assessment of food quality and antibiotic residue toxicity in Florida red tilapia Oreochromis sp exposed to erythromycin

by Boucetta S. Honcharova O. Kharfouchi S. Chala A. Aouati K. Can E.

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Erythromycin (ERY) is widely used as an antibiotic, leading to its pervasive presence in the environment and potential risks to non-target species. This study investigated the under sub-lethal effects of ERY on Florida red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) by examining changes in their hematological and...

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in urban wastewater: An entropy-based multi-objective optimization approach for optimal selection of sampling points

by Gkatzioura A. Zafeirakou A.

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Monitoring wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 proved to be a useful tool during COVID-19 pandemic and it is in place, until today, at many Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Greece and elsewhere. Identification of virus in wastewater can be a valuable indicator for the early detection of...

Sources and Spatial Variation of Dissolved Organic Matter in Luoma Lake

by Gan Z. Wang H. Ge X. Huang H.

Issue 4

Hydrology and Water Resources Management

In order to investigate the characteristics, sources and variations in the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during the wet and dry seasons in Luoma Lake, UV-vis and 3D-EEMs techniques combined with PARAFAC were used to analyse the changes in DOM content and components in dry and wet...

Interaction and quantum chemical analysis between sulfamethoxazole and copper on biochar

by Zhong J. He J. Bao Y. Zhang Y. gao Y. li J. Liu L.

Issue 4

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and copper (Cu) are common antibiotic and heavy metallic contaminants. They can be removed separately through biochar sorption method. However, the interaction between SMX and Cu remains an unresolved issue in the sorption process of biochar. In this paper, two biochar samples...

Biosorption of Heavy Metals Using Plant-Derived Sorbents: An Environmental Solution for Industrial Wastewater

by Mani A.K. Swarnalatha A. Naveen K. Suryanarayana Raju J. S.Kerur S. Priyadharsini ..

Issue 4

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

This study used a biosorbent, derived from processed Prosopis juliflora root powder to treat wastewater and remove lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu) ions. The biosorption process was influenced by factors including temperature (25 to 65°C), biomass content (1 to 5 g), pH levels (1.0 to 7.0)...
