Degeneration and the demos in North Africa: towards a ‘critical’ study of democratisation?
( Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Article)This article frames the problematic explored in the Special Issue, namely, the Maghreb and North Africa's ‘crisis of democratization.' Across cases, the crisis is multi-layered, involving first, counter-revolution since ... -
Degradation analysis in mixed (MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3) perovskite solar cells under thermal stress
( Springer New York LLC , 2019 , Article)The current study provides an insight into the thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and the factors causing their degradation. To this end, a systematic stability study was carried out on n-i-p type perovskite ... -
Degradation of 4-chlorophenol through cooperative reductive and oxidative processes in an electrochemical system
( Elsevier B.V. , 2023 , Conference Paper)Electrochemical treatment can be an effective approach for degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants because its anode/cathode produces powerful oxidizing/reducing conditions. Herein, through the cooperation of the ... -
Degradation of Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) by fenton oxidation: Mechanistic and kinetic studies
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)In this work, the degradation and mineralization of Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) in water by Fenton oxidation was investigated. The effects of different experimental parameters including the initial pH, the hydrogen peroxide ... -
Degradation of hydroxychloroquine by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)In this work, the degradation of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drug in aqueous solution by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes including electrochemical oxidation (EO) using boron doped diamond (BDD) and its combination ... -
Degradation of Organic Methyl Orange (MO) Dye Using a Photocatalyzed Non-Ferrous Fenton Reaction
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants by degradation or mineralization from industrial waste streams is continuously being explored to find viable options to apply on the commercial scale. Herein, we propose a ... -
Degradation-fragmentation of marine plastic waste and their environmental implications: A critical review
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental (primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and fragmentation phenomena under marine ... -
Degrees of Freedom of the Full-Duplex Asymmetric MIMO Three-Way Channel with Unicast and Broadcast Messages
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we characterize the total degrees of freedom (DoFs) of the full-duplex asymmetric multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) three-way channel. Each node has a separate-antenna full-duplex MIMO transceiver with ... -
