Experimental Study of Removal Heavy Metal of Arsenic from Water Using Nano Absorber Iron Oxide/N- Isopropyl Acrylamide/Chitosan [PDF]
Heavy metals are among the environmental pollutants that human exposure to some of them through water and food can cause chronic and dangerous poisoning.

Contamination mapping in Bangladesh using a multivariate spatial Bayesian model for left-censored data [PDF]
Arsenic (As) and other toxic elements contamination of groundwater in Bangladesh poses a major threat to millions of people on a daily basis. Understanding complex relationships between arsenic and other elements can provide useful insights for mitigating arsenic poisoning in drinking water and requires multivariate modeling of the elements.

Vacancy assisted arsenic diffusion and time dependent clustering effects in silicon [PDF]
We present results of kinetic lattice Monte Carlo (KLMC) simulations of substitutional arsenic diffusion in silicon mediated by lattice vacancies. Large systems are considered, with 1000 dopant atoms and long range \textit{ab initio} interactions, to the 18th nearest lattice neighbor, and the diffusivity of each defect species over time is calculated ...
