Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

USBR type III stilling basin performance for steep stepped spillways

, 2012
Stepped spillways are known to have a higher energy dissipation potential when compared to a smooth invert chute of identical slope. Therefore, the length of downstream energy dissipators can be reduced.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Energy dissipation in a deep tailwater stilling basin with partial flaring gate piers

, 2019
Flaring gate piers (FGPs) have been used to increase energy dissipation in stilling basins downstream of spillways. For projects with a low water head and large unit discharge together with a deep tailwater level, energy dissipation inside a conventional

Diffusion of Carbamazepine in Hydrophobic Zeolites: A Comparative Study Using Classical and Machine‐Learned Potentials

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Can hydrophobic, shape‐selective zeolites efficiently remove the persistent pharmaceutical CBZ from water? This work moves beyond the static picture of interaction energies by modeling diffusion with umbrella sampling and machine‐learned potentials. Even high intrinsic diffusion barriers can be overcome through exergonic adsorption from water, yielding

Transient thermal modelling of green anode cooling in the aluminium industry

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Summary of the methodology. Abstract Anodes, which are used in electrolytic aluminium production, are made by mixing dry aggregate (petroleum coke, rejected anodes, and butts) with coal tar pitch, compacting the resulting paste (green anode), and baking (baked anode). After compaction, the anodes are cooled to maintain their structural integrity before

Application of artificial neural network and general machine learning modelling on CO2 adsorption in moisture equilibrated South African high and medium rank coals

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effect of moisture on CO2 adsorption in South African coals using both experimental and machine learning approaches. Three coal samples (SL, TN, and EM) with varying ranks (RoVmr: 3.49%, 1.26%, and 0.64%, respectively) were collected from different regions of South Africa.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Stabilization phase trials and comparison with winery wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Performance evaluation of the waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process for septic wastewater treatment. Abstract The waste‐activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process is evaluated as a batch‐mode pre‐treatment for actual septage using a high‐rate contact stabilization (HRCS) approach.
