the physical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases on the zigzag (5,0) carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen was investigated through the application of b3lyp/6-31g* at the level of theory on gaussian 03 software. a variety of stable and high abundance structures of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes were considered in order to study the interaction between the mentioned gases in ...

increasing level of carbon dioxide co2 due to industrial activity is primarily cause of global warming. planting artoplex lentiformis can help to reduce atmospheric co2 buildup partly replacing use of fuels and by carbon storage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of row spacing on carbon storage. a split- plot design with three replications included three row spacing (2×2...

the electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) is presented. cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (ppo). a redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. the influence of various parameters such as ph, scan rat...

understanding the relationship between soil and plant is essential for reclamation of degraded lands. in order to investigate the relationship between atriplex halimus density with carbon sequestration the rangeland of incheborun was studied. soil samples were collected randomly by auger in the depth of 0-30 cm of the soil profile in three different plant densities (400 stand per hectare) with ...

this paper discusses different important gas permeation models such as “maxwell”, “bruggeman”, “lewis-neilson”, and “pal” models to predict “mixed matrix membranes” (mmms) performance. the main parameter considered and discussed is the permeability of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes (cnts)-mmm. for evaluation of the theoretical models, experimental data of permeability for h2 were compared to the ...

due to the notable role of different land uses in carbon sequestration and emission, four treatments including rangeland as control, haloxylon plantation area, olea plantation (olive garden), and residential lands, were selected to study the effects of land use change on soil carbon sequestration and emissions in eivanakei rangelands, semnan province. carbon stocks in vegetation and soil of eac...

The global burden of communicable diseases (CD) and non-communicable diseases (NCD) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) likely stems from a common substratum of societal and system inadequacies. In order to appropriately control these conditions and to manage the determinants and deterrents of both CDs and NCDs related deaths and disabilities, joint strategies aimed at both systemic and ...

the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...

ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...
