A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale (2024)
Journal Article

Within the coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), social-water interactions exhibit the ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ patterns, where social development is dependent on the local and external environment for resource provision, respectively. Sustai... Read More about A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale.

Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications (2024)
Journal Article

Studies have demonstrated that a minute quantity of graphene is sufficient to boost cement characteristics, but the attainment of good dispersion and uniformity of the resultant graphene-cement mixture remains a challenge. To alleviate these challeng... Read More about Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications.
