Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water

By Nidhi Singh, Smita Tung

Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …

Performance and Exergy Loss Analysis for a Single Slope Solar Still Using PMMA

By Yogendra Nigam, Rahul Kumar Singh

Abstract: A solar still constructed using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) represents an improved approach to solar desalination, in which conventional materials such as metal or concrete are substituted or reinforced with PMMA- based composites PMMA sheets are often used as the transparent glazing cover of the solar still instead of glass. It allows maximum solar radiation to pass into the basin, heating the saline/brackish water effectively. A tubular solar still made from …

Generative AI-Based Inverse Design of Sustainable Biodegradable Polymers with Target Mechanical and Thermal Properties

By Darapu Uma, Manas Kumar Yogi, Pendyala Devi Sravanthi, N. Prasanthi

Abstract: The escalating global plastic pollution crisis has intensified the urgent need for sustainable biodegradable polymer alternatives that can match or exceed the performance of conventional petroleum-based plastics while minimizing environmental impact. However, traditional polymer discovery approaches are severely constrained by high experimental costs, protracted development cycles spanning years, and fundamental inability to simultaneously optimize multiple conflicting material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and degradation kinetics. This study presents …

ASSESSING OF FOREST STRUCTURE USING EARTH OBSERVATION DATA: ACASE STUDY IN MUNESSA FOREST, OROMIA REGION, ETHIOPIA

By Mulualem Kere, Biniyam Tesfaw

Abstract: Forest structure is essential for estimating forest-related carbon emissions, analyzing forest degradation, and quantifying the effectiveness of forest restoration initiatives. However, forest structure quantification is only limited to the specific area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Remote sensing data can easily deliver a large area to assess forest structure. Therefore, this study aims to assess forest structure of Munessa Natural Forest by integrating satellite based light detection …

Unraveling Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conduction in Lithium-Substituted Rubidium Tetra Titanates via Dielectric Spectroscopy and EPR Analysis

By Dr. Shahanshah Haider Abdi, Dharmendra Kumar Dwivedee, Dharmendra Pal

Abstract: Lithium-substituted Rubidium Tetra Titanates with varying concentrations of lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃) — specifically 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 molar percentages — were successfully synthesized using a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The resulting compounds follow the general chemical formula Rb₂₋ₓLiₓTi₄O₉. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that lithium ions were successfully incorporated into the crystal lattice without disrupting the fundamental layered structure of the host material. The crystal system remained monoclinic across …
