The advent of porous polymers capable of both CO2 capture and conversion is an emerging research area to tackle ever-increasing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and also to use CO2 as a sustainable C1 source. Porous cationic polymers, which are analogous to zeolites, with exchangeable counteranions offer ideal platform for the simultaneous capture and conversion of CO2. Here, we report on the porous cationic polymers (Ru-PCPs) with increased number of charges synthesized through condensation reaction ...

CO elimination through oxidation over highly active and cost-effective catalysts is a way forward for many processes of industrial and environmental importance. In this study, doped CeO2 with transition metals (TM = Cu, Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zr, and Zn) at a level of 20 at. % was tested for CO oxidation. The oxides were prepared using microwave-assisted sol–gel synthesis to improve catalyst's performance for the reaction of interest. The effect of heteroatoms on the physicochemical properties (structure, morphology, ...

This paper examines the asymmetric impacts of both renewable energy consumption and economic complexity on Saudi Arabia’s economic growth in nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) frameworks. We firstly adopt the methodology of both standard NARDL and multiple threshold NARDL (MT-NARDL) models using quarterly data over the period 2000Q1–2015Q4. Then, we test the direction of the causal relationships between the underlying variables using both symmetric and asymmetric Granger causality tests. ...

The current study attempts to compare the hybrid artificial intelligence models to forecast the environmental externalities in Saudi Arabia. We have used the denoising based artificial intelligence models to construct hybrid models. While comparing the denoising techniques, the CSD-based denoising has outperformed. However, we have used the CSD-based hybrid models. CSD-ANN and CSD-RNN are used for denoising-based artificial intelligence models, whereas CSD-ARIMA is used for denoising-based traditional ...

This paper aims to test two competing explanations for the contrarian profits in ten MENA stock markets: the risk-based rational explanation and the representativeness-based behavioral explanation. We found that the CAPM, the three-factor model of Fama and French (1996) and the five-factor model of Fama and French (2015) fail to capture the contrarian profits in most MENA stock markets, which indicates that these profits cannot be explained by the risk. Moreover, the hypothesis that the representativeness ...

The present study deals with the decolorization of azo dye Acid Orange 7 (AO7) using a macrocomposite based sequencing batch biofilm reactor (MC-SBBR). The effect of biofilm thickness towards the decolorization as well as the biodegradation of aromatic amines formed through AO7 treatment process was investigated. The results obtained indicate that the biofilm thickness reached its steady state at development period of 7 days with average biofilm thickness of about 115 μm. Almost complete decolorization ...

Suspended Solids Concentration (SSC) in water is related to its quality and transparency. Satellite remote sensing has proven to be an efficient means of monitoring water quality in large deltas because in situ sampling methods are costly, laborious, time consuming, and spatially constrained. In this study, the potential of Landsat's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor was explored to develop a model for remote sensing-based quantification of SSC within the large, turbid Indus Delta Region ( ...

Due to the simultaneous occurrence of both infections, diagnosis is delayed leading to inadequate treatments and mortality. With the rise of MDR Klebsiella and Mycobacterium, a prophylactic and an immunotherapeutic vaccine has to be entailed for preemptive and adroit therapeutic approach. In this study, we aim to implement ...

A two-phase zinc–aluminum alloy (Zn–8 wt.% Al) has been subjected to severe plastic deformation via equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). The alloy was successfully extruded at homologous temperatures around 0.5 Tm through various strain paths and magnitudes. Multi-pass ECAE processing following different routes led to the elimination of the as-cast dendritic microstructure and formed a structure of elongated, ribbon-shaped phases. Monotonic tensile tests were conducted at room temperature along ...
