A Deep Learning Model, interpreted with an XAI technique, to simulate and optimize the remediation of oil-drilling cuttings in bubble flow reactors
Kalari K., Christodoulis K., Bali N., Theodoropoulou M., (Corresponding) Tsakiroglou C.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
A multitask deep neural network (DNN) is developed to simulate the ozonation of oil-drilling cuttings (ODC) and is interpreted through a technique of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to provide knowledge about the experimental conditions that will maximize the decontamination of ODC. On a...Read more
Iodine biofortification of cabbage plants cultivating in hydroponic system
Hoang N., Fodor F., Záray G., Endrédi A., Streli C., Ingerle D., Buzanich A., Radtke M., Ziegler P., (Corresponding) Dobosy P.
Topic:
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Iodine is an essential trace element in the human diet being involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency affects ca. 2.2 billion people worldwide, therefore it is an important challenge to find a plant-based source of iodine, which would provide the recommended dietary...Read more
Predicting Land Cover Map Changes in the Philippines for use in LULC-based Carbon Capture Monitoring using Deep Learning
Camaclang R., Ballesteros F., (Corresponding) Labao A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
In the area of Carbon Capture and Storage (CSS), monitoring plays an important role not only to determine if there is any anomalies in the release of CO2 in the atmosphere, but also to prepare for disasters and to plan better future developments in the industrial sector, transportation sector, real...Read more

Exploring the Potential and Challenges of a Developing Carbon Market in the Philippines
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., MELDANETTE S., Ado R.
Topic:
Carbon market
The worldwide shift towards the use of renewable energy sources is very necessary if we are going to reduce our impact on the environment and become more sustainable over the long run. However, owing to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, concerns with grid management, and...Read more
Assessing the Effects and Dangers of Climate Change on the Environment and Society of the Philippines
Corpus R., (Corresponding) Bayani M., (Corresponding) Ado R.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
The Philippines is one of the most susceptible nations to climate change's effects. It is anticipated that the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as typhoons, floods, and droughts will increase over the next few decades. This thesis seeks to evaluate the environmental and...Read more
Environmental and Economic Life Cycle Assessment of a Spanish whisky
Cely-Parra P., (Corresponding) San Miguel G., Beltrán M.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
A considerable literature has been dedicated to evaluating the carbon footprint of fermented beverages such as wine and beer. However, far fewer studies have been committed to assess the environmental and economic sustainability of spirit distillates. The aim of this paper was to compile a complete...Read more

Applicability of Advanced Oxidation Processes for Treatment and Recovery of Washing Machine Effluent
(Corresponding) Kılıç L., Dilsizoğlu-Akyol N., Ölmez-Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, it was successfully shown that Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are a feasible method to treat laundry wastewater originating from washing machines. Wastewater characterization from different stages of wastewater discharge was analysed and advanced oxidation processes including O3...Read more
APPLICABILITY OF SULFATE RADICAL BASED ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
(Corresponding) Dilsizoğlu Akyol N., Ölmez Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Natural Organic Matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are naturally present in water sources. NOM itself is not toxic, but its presence can have negative impacts on the quality of drinking water. It is important to remove NOM from drinking water sources through various...Read more
Optimizing Raw Water Sustainability through Innovative Supply Chain Management
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Almacha A., Austria A.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
The global water crisis threatens not only the availability of potable water, but also the supply of fresh water for industrial and agricultural use. In order to satisfy the rising demand for water, it is essential that the basic water supply chain be managed sustainably. This study seeks to...Read more

Comparative life cycle assessment of lithium-ion batteries
Tournaviti M., Savva C., (Corresponding) Vlachokostas C.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The transportation sector is the second largest source of carbon emissions worldwide. In the process of achieving zero emissions, the electrification of the sector and the replacement of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) with electric vehicles (EVs) is being promoted. Batteries as the...Read more
