Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description

(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.

Topic:

Marine environment and coastal management

Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more

Removal Of Arsenic From Water Using Iron-Coated Pomelo Peel (ICPP)

Nguyen T., Tran H., Nguyen Q., (Corresponding) Nguyen T., Vigneswaran S., Nguyen T.

Topic:

Water treatment

This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more

Functionalized iron oxide nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes for water-in-oil emulsion separation

Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

Water treatment

Removal of emulsified water in oil (w/o) emulsions are the most challenging compared to free water and dissolved water emulsions. Emulsified w/o cannot be removed by conventional techniques such as settling tanks, oil skimmers, floatation and magnetic technologies. Membrane technology is a highly...Read more

An Agent-Based Modelling approach to assess risk in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).

(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Moraitis G., Makropoulos C.

Topic:

Disaster risk reduction and management

The classic approach to risk assessment in civil engineering infrastructure (incl. water systems) often takes an incomplete view of the socio-technical system and its cyber-physical extensions, thus confining the ability to properly quantify the level of risk. To tackle this limitation and enhance...Read more

(Corresponding) Muhammad Z., Abdul T., Iram G., Hadayat U., Ghulam M., Malik M.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

Safe drinking water is a fundamental entity to people and other living things. This study investigates the -chemical facies and determination of dominant water-type along with their suitability for drinking purposes.
