Kabul is one of the most populated cities in Afghanistan and providing resources to support this population in an arid climate presents a serious environmental challenge. The current study evaluated the quality of local ...
In this study amphoteric cryogels were synthesized by the use of free-radical co-polymerization
of acrylate-based precursors (methacrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonic acid) with
allylamine at different ...
Advanced methods for manufacturing high quality parts should be used to ensure the
production of competitive products for the world market. Investment casting (IC) is a process where
a wax pattern is used as a sacrificial ...

In this study, spatial and temporal patterns of PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO in Almaty, the largest city of Kazakhstan,
in the period between 2013 and 2018 are explored. Severe degradation of air quality was observed ...
The COVID-19 pandemic is bringing about changes, and alongside these, we can alter the way we design our living spaces. The need for a healthy and comfortable living space is essential to mental and physical well-being. ...

We present the fabrication and characterization of a low-loss enhanced backscattering fiber, having the core doped with MgO-based nanoparticles (MgO-NP), for distributed sensing application. The fiber has a scattering ...
Herein, an approach is proposed to analyze the tortuosity of porous electrodes using the
radical Voronoi tessellation. For this purpose, a series of particle compacts geometrically similar
to the actual porous electrode ...
Chemically modified metal surfaces have been used to recognize and capture specific cell
types and biomolecules. In this work, stainless steel wires were functionalized with aptamers
against breast cancer stem cell ...
Ti6Al4V alloy was shot peened by using stainless-steel shots with different sizes (0.09–0.14 mm (S10) and 0.7–1.0 mm (S60)) for two durations (5 and 15 min) using a custom-designed peening system. The shot size was the ...

Globally, buildings are responsible for a significant share in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions profiles. Various attempts are undertaken to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce their ...
This paper aims to develop an innovative sensorless control approach for a five-phase
induction motor (IM) drive. The operation principle of the sensorless scheme is based on the sliding
mode theory, within which a sliding ...
This study aims to examine the scaling and performance of flat sheet aquaporin FO
membranes in the presence of calcium salts. Experiments showed that the application of calcium
sulphate (CaSO4) resulted in an 8–78% decline ...

In this paper, we propose a novel jamming-robust communication technique for the outdoor cognitive EV-enabled network over
mixed radio-frequency (RF)/visible light communication (VLC) channels
with signal-dependent noise. ...
This paper focuses on the synthesis of a new silver nanocomposite adsorbent derived from
rice husk as raw material. The synthesis is based on triethoxysilane chemistry and the reduction of
silver without the aid of ...
Direct modeling of time-dependent transport and reactions in realistic heterogeneous systems, in a manner that considers the evolution of the quantities of interest in both, the macro-scale (suspending fluid) and the ...
The vibration characteristics of a nonuniform, flexible and free-flying slender rocket experiencing constant thrust is investigated. The rocket is idealized as a classic nonuniform beam with a constant one-dimensional ...
Fluid–solid adsorption processes are mostly governed by the adsorbate transport in the solid phase and surface diffusion is often the limiting step of the overall process in microporous materials such as zeolites. This ...
