Physiological characteristics, geochemical properties and hydrological variables influencing pathogen migration in subsurface system: what we know or not?
(China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University, 2022-01-01)
The global outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) draws attentions in the transport and spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in aerosols, wastewater, surface water and ...
Sustainable use of sewage sludge as a casing material for button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) cultivation: experimental and prediction modeling studies for uptake of metal elements
(MDPI AG, 2022-01-25)
The present study focused on the use of sewage sludge (SS) as a casing material amendment and the potential uptake of metal elements by the cultivated white button (Agaricus bisporus: MS-39) mushroom. Laboratory experiments ...
Comparative assessment of corrosion of concrete reinforced with unprotected steel and hot-dip galvanized steel
(Revista de la Construccion, 2017)
Increasing the lifespan of structures is of great importance for civil construction, either because of economic aspects or security to the users. Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the most recurring problems, especially ...
Chemical evaluation of by-products of the grape industry as potential agricultural fertilizers
(Journal Of Cleaner Production, 2019-06-20)
The grape industry, specifically the wine industry, is generating by-products rich in nutrients, which are underutilized and often end up being polluters of the environment. These byproducts are the bagasse, the stem and ...
Nanoparticles and interfaces with toxic elements in fluvial suspended sediment
(Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
Studies examining nanoparticles (NPs) and hazardous elements (HEs) contained in suspended sediments (SSs) are vital for watershed administration and ecological impact evaluation. The biochemical consequence of titanium-n ...
River dynamics and nanopaticles formation: A comprehensive study on the nanoparticle geochemistry of suspended sediments in the Magdalena River, Caribbean Industrial Area
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019-12-21)
The coastal zones on continental shelves are the main channels for the distribution of fluvial-sourced
suspended sediments (SSs). In the current research, the monthly average amount of SS draining into
the Caribbean Sea ...
Sheet, surveillance, strategy, salvage and shield in global biodefense system to protect the public health and tackle the incoming pandemics
(Elsevier, 2022)
The pandemic of COVID-19 challenges the global health system and raises our concerns on the next waves of other emerging infectious diseases. Considering the lessons from the failure of world's pandemic warning system ...
Analysis of the influence of thickness on fire reaction performance in polyisocyanurate core sandwich panels
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
Sandwich panels (also known as insulated panels) have been traditionally used for industrial buildings and warehouses, but nowadays are being increasingly a favorable choice in building construction, mainly in wall cladding ...
Hazardous elements and amorphous nanoparticles in historical estuary coal mining area
(Geoscience Frontiers, 2019)
In Brazil, intense coal exploitation activities have led to environmental deterioration, including soil mortification, water contamination, loss of ecosystem, and atmospheric contamination. In addition, considerable ...
Volcanic emissions and atmospheric pollution: a study of nanoparticles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021-03)
The influence of emissions of an active volcano on the composition of nanoparticles and ultrafine road dust was identified in an urban area of the Andes. Although many cities are close to active volcanoes, few studies have ...
