Sustainable Smart Agriculture: Plant disease detection with deep learning techniques in cotton cultivation
(Corresponding) Kounani A., Lavazos N., Tsimpiris A., Varsamis D.
Topic:
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
To meet the needs of an ever-growing global population, the agricultural sector has the responsibility of increasing production, managing diseases and pests that attack crops, and implementing sustainable practices. Deep learning techniques used in sustainable smart agriculture have proven...Read more
Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change
(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more

Impact of Fatty Waste on Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge at a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant - A Case Study
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Retman M., Lech P.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic digestion is a common method for utilization of sewage sludge at large-scale wastewater treatment plants. This process generates biogas, which is a source of renewable energy. Intensification of biogas production can be achieved, for example, through co-digestion, with fatty waste...Read more

Improve the post-harvest quality of fruits based on edible natural resources
RODINO S., (Corresponding) BUTU M., (Corresponding) BUTU A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Edible coatings and films from natural resources from which benefit both the consumer and the environment. In general, edible coatings and films are a combination of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and plasticizers, used to improve the functional properties and general quality parameters of...Read more
OTAER biotechnology: a new pathway of reaching the Zero Net Carbon in Odours Treatment
(Corresponding) Romano F., Mariniello A., Oliva G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Zarra T.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Emissions of odours into ambient air represent a serious problem and cause for conflict, due to the effects they cause on the population and on the exposed environment. Their treatment is therefore a priority. The approach currently pursued by the conventional odour treatment technologies is...Read more
Study Of The Performance Of Ruscus Aculeatus Leaves Alcoholic Extract As Corrosion Inhibitor For Carbon Steel In 1 M HCl Solution
(Corresponding) Farruku M., Xhanari K., Xhaxhiu K., Lame A.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
The addition of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most widely used methods for the protection of metals and alloys from corrosion in various environments. Although synthetic organic compounds have been found to be highly effective in mitigating corrosion, they are often toxic, non-biodegradable,...Read more
Coffee ground biosorbent for nitrite and nitrate recovery and soil nutrient
Ying T., (Corresponding) Sethupathi S., Hon L.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) are two forms of nitrogen that contribute to the occurrence of eutrophication if found in excess concentrations. Conversely, nitrogen is one of the major macronutrients required for healthy plant growth. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the recovery of NO3-...Read more
Cornus Sanguinea Leaves Alcoholic Extract As Corrosion Inhibitor For Carbon Steel In Acidic Solutions
Xhanari K., (Corresponding) Farruku M., Xhaxhiu K., Kokalari E.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
In recent years finding environmentally friendly and affordable sources to mitigate corrosion has become demanding in many industries due to the increased awareness related to environmental issues. Due to their readily availability, biodegradability, low toxicity and relatively low cost, plant...Read more
