TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized recent development and findings on application of activated carbon synthesized from biowaste in wastewater treatment and tabulated the adsorption efficiencies of newly developed activated carbons in treatment of different pollutants (including dyes, metal ions, pharmaceutical and personal care products, organic pollutants).

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to comprehensively review the different estimation models to predict SOH, and RUL in a comparative manner and identify the classifications, characteristics and evaluation processes with advantages and disadvantages for EV applications.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper divided environmental regulation into three types: command-and-control regulation, market-based regulation and voluntary regulation, and employed the STIRPAT model to test the effects of these three environmental regulations on eco-efficiency in the eastern, central and western regions of China.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile sol-gel method was used to enhance degradation of single and binary methylene blue and methyl orange by ultraviolet photocatalysis, and the results showed that the prepared materials were easier to separate from the treated liquid using a simple sedimentation or filtration method than P25 TiO2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the causal linkage among CO2 emissions per capita, energy intensity, real GDP, industrialization, urbanization, and renewable energy consumption in China over the period from 1970 to 2015.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid support vector machine (SVM) model was proposed to forecast both solar and wind energy resources for most of the locations in the United States, where the authors highlighted main problems, opportunities and future work in this research area.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of green human resource management and green supply chain management practices on the Triple Bottom Line of sustainable performance in the manufacturing sector in Palestine has been investigated using the partial least squares structural equation modeling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state of local planning for climate change by collecting and analysing information about local climate mitigation and adaptation plans across 885 urban areas of the EU-28 was reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship among the drivers, eco-innovation behavior, and firm performance and found that competitive pressure provided firms with the greatest incentive to adopt ecoinnovation, followed by a market-based instrument, technological capabilities, customer green demand, and environmental organization capabilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct the extended Crepon-Duguet-Mairesse (CDM) model and employ the panel data of Chinese manufacturing industries during 2003-2014 to examine the effects of environmental regulation on industrial innovation and green development.

TL;DR: In this article, an econometric model has been estimated using a linear regression by ordinary least squares using as independent variables the expenditure on R&D and the energy consumption in the European Union (15), United States and China between 1990 and 2013.
