This work analyzes the discrete solution of Hughes-Hartogs (HH) for the transmission rate maximization problem with power constraint in the OFDMA systems and explores mechanisms to reduce the computational complexity of greedy algorithms.…
Leprosy (Hansen's) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This disease slowly leads to occurrence of leprae reactions which mainly damage peripheral nervous system which cause loss of organs. We can prevent occurring leprae reactions…
Nitrogen (N) is essential for plant growth and protein synthesis but global reactive N losses, mainly from food systems, induce strong environmental impacts.N losses after human excretion are often overlooked because, in Western societies,…
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disease with millions of patients worldwide. Many patients have turned to alternative medicine due to the limited efficacy and side effects of conventional antiepileptic drugs. In this study, we…
Neural network pruning offers a promising prospect to facilitate deploying deep neural networks on resource-limited devices. However, existing methods are still challenged by the training inefficiency and labor cost in pruning designs, due…
Effective catalytic hydrotreatment of highly nitrogenous biocrudes derived from the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of primary sewage sludge and microalga Spirulina biomass was explored. A critical issue is the lack of thermal stability of…
We maximize the production of biogas in a gradostat at steady state. The physical decision variables are the water, substrate, and biomass entering each tank and the flows through the interconnecting pipes. Our main technical focus is the…
Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) is a global health threat arising from shellfish contaminated with toxins produced by dinoflagellates. The condition, with its widespread incidence, high morbidity rate, and persistent shellfish…
The massive volume of oil sands tailings has been one of the most challenging environmental issues. In this work, we experimentally explore a simple and effective approach to bitumen residue separation from a highly concentrated slurry flow…
Ever more stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation motivate efforts to revisit materials used for vehicles. High-strength Al-alloys often used in aircrafts could help reduce the weight of automobiles, but are…
Typically, amorphous organic materials contain high density of traps. Traps hinder charge transport and, hence, affect various working parameters of organic electronic devices. In this paper we suggest a simple but reliable method for the…
More than 198 million cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported that result in no fewer than 4.2 million deaths globally. The rapid spread of the disease coupled with the lack of specific…
The present study aims to describe an innovative approach that enables the system to achieve high yielding for biohydrogen (bio-H$_2$) production using xylose as a by-product of lignocellulosic biomass processing. A hybrid optimization…
Protoplasts represent a unique experimental system for the circulation and formation of genetically modified plants. Here, protoplasts were isolated from genetically modified hairy root tissues of Brassica oleracea L. induced by the…
This study evaluates the effectiveness of non-thermal plasma at atmospheric pressure (NTP APPJ) for treating PFAS - contaminated water in different matrices. Successful removal of several perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) (C6 to C4),…
Phytochemicals are still a valuable source to develop clinically important drugs in treating chronic and acute diseases. Inflammation is a response to an injurious stimulus of the body and novel therapeutic agents are needed to alleviate…
2-Ethyhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) is a major additive of fuel which is used to comply with the cetane number of diesel. Because of its wide use and possible accidental release, 2-EHN is a potential pollutant of the environment. In this study,…
The anaerobic co-digestion of slaughterhouse wastewater and food waste offers a sustainable approach to waste treatment and biogas production. However, limited literature was found on the study of ferric oxide as conductive material in…
The valorization of waste, by creating economic value while limiting environmental impact, can have an essential role in sustainable development. Particularly, polymeric waste such as biomass and plastics can be used for the production of…
Each year, the production of synthetic dye wastewater reaches a trillion tons, posing a significant challenge to addressing water scarcity on a global level. Hence, the treatment of wastewater to prevent water scarcity is of prime…
