In this study we use economic input-output analysis to calculate the inequality footprint of nations. An inequality footprint shows the link that each country's domestic economic activity has to income distribution elsewhere in the world. To this end we use employment and household income accounts for 187 countries and an historical time series dating back to 1990. Our results show that in 2010...

Swelling layered clay minerals form an important sub-group of the phyllosilicate family. They are characterized by their ability to expand or contract in presence absence water. This property makes them useful for a variety applications, ranging from environmental technologies heterogeneous catalysis, and including pharmaceutical industrial applications. Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (...

Industries play a vital part in progress of human civilization. The process of industrialization leads to several detrimental effects on human health and environment with its toxic discharges. Among several developing countries, India is considered as a country having huge natural resources with emerging industrial avenues for satisfying the growing demands of ever-increasing population.

Carbon capture is among the most sustainable strategies to limit carbon dioxide emissions, which account for a large share of human impact on climate change and ecosystem destruction. This growing threat calls novel solutions reduce emissions an industrial level. by amorphous solids reasonable options as it requires less energy when compared other techniques has comparatively lower development ...

The modern industrial cycle is mainly based on non-renewable mineral resources extracted from the Earth’s crust. After being processed and transformed into commodities, the products of mining become manufactured products which go through the economic system and are then discarded in the form of gaseous, liquid or solid waste. Eventually, the mass of the output in the form of waste must balance ...

The problem of environmental degradation is becoming very real in Nigeria. It is also becoming a major source of insecurity locally. In recent times, flooding which affects most parts of the country has resulted in displacement of communities in most states of the federation. While flooding is largely a natural phenomenon, the upgrading of environmental infrastructure should be complemented wit...

Minerals can be divided into two main categories, 1) macro-minerals and 2) micro or trace minerals. Macro minerals are minerals that are needed/required in relatively large amounts in comparison to micro or trace elements which are needed/required in relatively small amounts. In general macro minerals are required at concentrations greater than 100 ppm of the diet and are often expressed as a p...
