Marine biomass has attracted attention as an environmentally sustainable energy source that can replace petroleum-based resources. Alginates, the main natural polysaccharides extracted from seaweeds, are used in various fields, such as food, pharmace...
Alternaria alternata is a global fungal pathogen that causes symptoms such as leaf blight and seed rot resulting in economically significant yield losses in different varieties of crops. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is preferred over other method...
This study emphasises the growing relevance of hydrogen as a green energy source in meeting the growing need for sustainable energy solutions. It foregrounds the importance of assessing the environmental consequences of hydrogen-generating processes...
Biopolymers obtained from renewable resources are an interesting alternative to conventional polymers obtained from fossil resources, as they are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester...
Microgrids, with integrated PV systems and nonlinear loads, have grown significantly in popularity in recent years, making the evaluation of their transient behaviors in grid-connected and islanded operations paramount. This study examines a microgri...
The rapid and unprecedented expansion of the global population highlights concerns about the sufficiency of food resources to sustain this growth. This study investigates and substantiates the feasibility of renewable food resources in order to meet...
The rise in the Earth’s surface temperature on an annual basis has stimulated scientific and engineering interest in developing and implementing alternative energy sources. Besides cost, the main requirements for alternative energy sources are...
Though the keratin content of chicken feathers is being explored for many potential uses, the crude lipid content of the biomass significantly hinders the valorization processes. Therefore, this study explored the potential of bacteria isolated from...
Large amounts of PET bottles are used worldwide as primary packaging for numerous liquids, including water and soft drinks. In many cases, between two and eight of such bottles are bundled for transport and sales using plastic collation shrink film....
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been under intense investigation by the scientific community due to their persistence in the environment and potentially hazardous effects on living organisms. In order to tackle the presence of these...
Wastewater (WW) analysis is a critical step in various operations, such as the control of a WW treatment facility, and speeding up the analysis of WW quality can significantly improve such operations. This work demonstrates the capability of neural n...
This study first presents the development and the experimental validation of a numerical model of a semi-closed greenhouse using a dynamic thermal simulation. The second objective was to identify the influential parameters on the indoor climate and t...
