The denitrification performance of a novel mixotrophic system using pyrite (FeS2) and biodegradable polymer composite (PLA/PHBV/rice hulls, PPRH) as electron donors was investigated. After 12-day operation, the average nitrate removal rate (16.3-40.6 mg-N/L/d) in the mixotrophic system was 37%...

Selective and effective adsorptive removal of radiocesium is of great importance in terms of nuclear waste management and environmental remediation, but is still challenging because of its radioactive and non-complexing nature. Herein, metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF, M=Cu, Co, or Ni) modified...

In this study, the removal of ammonia and phenol in saline chemical wastewater by radiation was investigated in detail. The results showed that chloridion in saline chemical wastewater could be transferred to •Cl and •ClO by radiation, which promoted ammonia oxidation, but inhibited phenol...

The manufacturing industry has triggered severe environmental pollution problems while promoting urban economic growth. Low-carbon transformation and upgrading the manufacturing industry through manufacturing servitization (MS) are feasible to enhance urban green development efficiency (GDE)....

Proxy signature helps the proxy signer to sign messages on behalf of the original signer. It is very useful when the original signer (e.g. the president of a company) is not available to sign a specific document. If the original signer can not forge valid proxy signatures through impersonating...

Many countries and regions are introducing policies aimed at reducing the environmental footprint from the energy sector and increasing the use of renewable energy. In the United States, a number of initiatives have been taken at the state level, from renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) and...

This paper presents a framework for assessing the economic efficiency of different long-run network pricing models. The aim is to provide a quantifiable efficiency measure that will inform regulators, network operators, and network users when an alternative pricing model is contemplated. The...

Five National Fire Danger Rating System indices (including the Ignition Component, Energy Release Component, Burning Index, Spread Component, and the Keetch-Byram Drought Index) and the Fosberg Fire Weather Index are used to characterise US fire danger. These fire danger indices and input...

"Liquidity commonality is defined as liquidity co-movements across assets or markets. In the current literature, it is measured relative to a single factor, i.e., the average liquidity across assets or markets. However, liquidity co-movements may not be fully captured by this single factor....
