Abstract Wastewater generated by the textile industry has been a major environmental concern for a long. Production of fiber involves various steps and uses a lot of chemicals, dyes, and water. Therefore, the effluent produced from the textile ind [...] 4879 36424 |
About Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics and ElectromagnetismAbstract We describe here the coherent formulation of electromagnetism in the non-relativistic quantum-mechanical many-body theory of interacting charged particles. We use the mathematical frame of the field theory and its quantization in the spirit of the quantum electrodynamics (QED). This is n [...] 6748 15620 |
Recycled Wastewater Usage: A Comprehensive Review for Sustainability of Water ResourcesAbstract Water recycling is a potential tool for reducing the dependency on traditional water sources, which would eventually reduce the likelihood of volumetric restrictions and their impacts on the water sector. Therefore, exploration, development, and use of alternative water sources are required for sust [...] 1935 61805 |
Biocompatibility and Surface Integrity of Zirconia Ceramics Treated by Laser-plasma Driven Shock-wavesAbstract This is a multi-disciplinary paper focused on the preliminary results of deploying laser shock treatment (LST) to ZrO2 ceramics. This work has significance in several industrial sectors for components that will benefit from strengthening. These components are, namely: dental i [...] 1156 7186 |
Pentachlorophenol Effect on Auxin Production by Pseudomonas fluorescens GU059580 and Its Application in Wastewater BioremediationAbstract Bioaugmentation by Pseudomonas strains is widely used for the removal of pollutants in wastewater. In this study, we aimed to determine the removal of pentachlorophenol (PCP, 800 mg·L–1) in secondary wastewater by the bioaugmentation process. We determined [...] 1059 6623 |

Abstract In a lithium-ion battery, the crossing of its charging–discharging curves represents an unambiguous current capacity. The reproduction of a complete charging–discharging cycle defines the maximum possible charge for a current battery state. When obtaining of the curves experimentally, one should con [...] 1034 6644 |
Strength Properties of Cellulosic Fibrous Mats Impregnated with Water Repellents Based on Reclaimed PolystyreneAbstract Cellulosic fibrous mats were impregnated with various water-repellent formulations based on reclaimed polystyrene (5, 10, 15, and 20%), alkyd resin (5%), gum rosin (5%), and paraffin wax (0.5%). The mats were tested for their bursting strength and resistance to bending. They were also subjected to t [...] 1370 6370 |
Elastohydrodynamic Squeeze-film Interaction in Synovial Joints with Nanofluid LubricationAbstract New lubrication events can be predicted using improved pathological non-Newtonian physiological fluids coupled to phospholipid-based bilayers in variable time-dependent magnetic fields under random non-steady conditions. In this study, we investigated nanofluid lubrication systems for sy [...] 1250 8761 |
Green Synthesis of Metal-Organic Biohybrid (Mob) NanomaterialsAbstract Green synthesis of nanomaterials endeavors to reduce the use of high energy methods with those that may include lower temperatures and pressures, use of natural products, and bottom-up self-assembly. Here we describe the generation of metal-organic biohybrids (MOBs) with nanoscale features synthesiz [...] 1562 12232 |

Abstract Spectrophotometry has been widely used to retrieve the dielectric function of a bulk iridium sample using an extended version of the Drude–Lorentz model. The parameters of the model are optimized using a spectral-projected-gradient-method-assisted acceptance-probability-controlled simulated annealin [...] 1389 9141 |
Calculation of the Forces Applied to a Superconductor in Levitation in an Inhomogeneous Magnetic FieldAbstract Stable levitation of systems consisting of a magnetic source and a superconductor is actively investigated due to the promising applications of this technology. While huge efforts have been made for modeling these setups with numerical simulations, analytical models, in spite of their us [...] 2336 22282 |
