Experimental study on preparedness of disease X with an agent-based framework scenario-driven analysis by Dmytro Chumachenko

“…The study’s objective is to quantify each shock’s epidemiological impact in an otherwise identical urban population and to identify the systemic vulnerabilities that most threaten early outbreak control. Addressing that objective required the following tasks, which began with a critical review of scenario-based epidemic modelling, progressed to the extension of a validated SEIRDV agent-based core with dynamic belief diffusion, dose-queue logistics, and conflict-driven mobility, and provided experiments per scenario using parameters anchored in peer-reviewed evidence. …”

Utilization of Immobilized Green Algae Scenedesmus qudricauda as A Sustainable Method to Remove Some Industrial Textile Dyes by Zahraa Hussein Obaid, Jasim M. Salman, Shaimaa Satae M. Ali, Esraa Abdul-Adel, Sarab A. Juda

“…The research aims to investigate the capacity of Scenedesmus quadricauda algae to adsorb textile dyes Reactive Yellow 145, and Disperse Yellow 114 from aquatic media by studying the effects of 5 variables on the dye removal efficiency, including initial dye concentration (10-50 ppm), contact time (3-12 days), pH (5-9), temperature (4-40 C°), and adsorbent dosage (0.1-2.5 g L-1) The current study's results revealed that the immobilized algae achieved the highest color removal percentages of 98% and 97% for the dyes Reactive Yellow 145 and Disperse Yellow 114, respectively. Most decolorization activity was found at an initial concentration of 40 mg L-1, 9 days of contact, a pH value of 5, a temperature of 25°c, an algae dosage of 2.5 g L-1, and a stirring speed of 120 rpm. …”
