Microalgal nutrients recycling from the primary effluent of municipal wastewater and use of the produced biomass as bio-fertilizer
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2019 , Article)
Availability of N, P and other trace metals in municipal wastewater (MWW) makes it very attractive to produce microalgae biomass using MWW. Although limited organic carbon is available in MWW, supplementing flue gas as CO2 ...
Multi-Objective Security Hardening Optimisation for Dynamic Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Hardening the dynamic networks is a very challenging task due to their complexity and dynamicity. Moreover, there may be multi-objectives to satisfy, while containing the solutions within the constraints (e.g., fixed budget, ...
Molecular and electronic structure elucidation of Fe2+/Fe3+ complexed chelators used in iron sulphide scale removal in oil and gas wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT are employed to study the electronic structure and binding affinity of chelators used in the removal of iron sulphide scales. Three chelating agents, EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA, are ...
Experimental and theoretical studies on the mechanical and structural changes imposed by the variation of clay loading on poly(vinyl alcohol)/cloisite 93A nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) structures are promising materials due to their novel properties. However, many of their characteristic physical, mechanical, and chemical behavior have not been quantified. Depending on the ...
Growth factor releasing core-shell polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, biomaterials and appropriate signals to repair or improve the functions of damaged tissues. Our group is exploiting various approaches to effectively encapsulate ...
A technoeconomic assessment of microalgal culture technology implementation for combined wastewater treatment and CO2 mitigation in the Arabian Gulf
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2019 , Article)
A technoeconomic assessment (TEA) has been conducted of the feasibility of large-scale application of microalgal culture technology (MCT) to the combined mitigation of CO2 emissions from flue gases and nutrient discharges ...
Synthesis, optimization and applications of ZnO/polymer nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
Polymer composites have established an excellent position among the technologically essential materials because of their wide range of applications. An enormous research interest has been devoted to zinc oxide (ZnO) based ...
Effects of Colombian oregano essential oil (Lippia origanoides Kunth) and Eimeria species on broiler production and cecal microbiota.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2019 , Article)
The gut microbiota has an important effect on poultry health and production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Colombian oregano (COO), Lippia origanoides Kunth, essential oil supplementation on broiler ...
Experimental investigation on the thermal properties of NiO-nanofluids
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2019 , Article)
Performance parameters and thermal stability of lubricants are highly temperature dependent as it degrades twice for every 10 °C of temperature rise. Generally, the nanofluids have enhanced thermo-physical behavior as long ...
Removal of toxic pollutants from produced water by phytoremediation: Applications and mechanistic study
