Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon for Sustainable Agriculture using Deep Learning
(Corresponding) Singh S., Kasana S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The organic carbon percentage is concomitant indicating the mineralization of nutrients and the ability of the soil to hold nutrients cations, structural stability, and water holding capacity. It is necessary to know the quantity of carbon for healthy soil and avoid the production related problems...Read more

O-fire+: a pioneer solution on wildfire incident planning and response for enhancing the resilience of individual infrastructures
(Corresponding) Karystinakis K., Partozis T., Grigoriadis D., Mantzavelas A., Diamantopoulos S.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wildland fires can seriously affect infrastructures causing extended direct or indirect financial losses, as well as societies causing the loss of properties, landscape quality and even human lives. The relevant management requires effective planning prior and quick/targeted response during those...Read more
Adsorption of Gatifloxacin from Aqueous Solution with Highly Stable Zr(IV)-Based Porphyrinic Metal-Organic Frameworks
Chen J., Wang L., Xu G., (Corresponding) Wang X., Zhao R.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Water stable Zr-metal–organic framework nanoparticles (PCN-224 NPs) have been solvothermally synthesized. PCN-224 NPs show spherical shape with smooth surface and particle size of approximately 200 nm. PCN-224 NPs can be stable in acid and aqueous solutions, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction...Read more

Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more

Risk assessment and apportionment studies of particulate pollution at Ankamaly, South India
R K., (Corresponding) N S., Varghese L.
Topic:
Air pollution
In the present world which is engulfed by the ill-effects of air pollution, stringent permissible emission standards to curb pollution are mandatory. Source and risk apportionment studies help to understand the sources and their contributions. Four parameters, lifetime average daily dose, hazard...Read more

Impact of nitrogen fertilization on nodulation and symbiotic efficiency of indigenous Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains
(Corresponding) Sikora S., Abrlic J., Rajnović I., Kajic S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Nitrogen fixation is a beneficial microbial process that greatly contribute to sustainable agricultural production and environment protection. Soil bacteria, collectively named rhizobia, are characterized by their unique ability to induce the formation of root nodules in which they convert...Read more
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic for the environment and human health and their tendency to readily volatilize in the atmosphere leads to problems connected to odours annoyance. The conventional treatments for VOCs gaseous emissions conventionally entail the application of chemical-...Read more
