CO capturing by self-assembled belt[14]pyridine encapsulated ionic liquid complexes: a DFT study.

In the current study, CO capturing ability of encapsulated ionic liquids (ENILs) , tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl), 1,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride (MIMCl), and methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (MPHP) encapsulated in self assembled belt[14]pyridine (BP) has been studied. The results show that strong van der Waals forces are involved in capturing of CO by these encapsulated ionic liquids. Strong attractive forces arise from synergistic effect of ionic liquid (encapsulated) and atoms of belt.

Interconnection between the role of blockchain technologies, supply chain integration, and circular economy: A case of small and medium-sized enterprises in Pakistan.

Increased industrialization has led to unprecedented resource depletion on a global scale. The current state of affairs has compelled practitioners and academics to investigate the role of sustainable technologies in greening the operations of businesses. Previous studies have attempted to examine the number of operational aspects for their role in making firms sustainable, yet the utility of blockchain technologies is in its infancy.

The role of facilities management in fighting COVID-19 outbreak: Evidence from Malaysian public hospitals.

The aim of this study is to provide a holistic review of the fight against COVID-19 in developing countries, particularly Malaysia. Specifically, the study aims to determine how facilities management delivery in public hospitals can be improved to ensure readiness in handling COVID-19 cases. We conducted a review of the literature and reliable media updates on COVID-19 and services management.

Silent cries behind closed doors: An online empirical assessment of fear of COVID-19, situational depression, and quality of life among Pakistani citizens.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of fear of COVID-19 and situational depression on the quality of life (QOL) of Pakistani citizens. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted on Pakistani citizens via the snowball sampling technique. A total of 377 respondents (256 males and 121 females) participated in this study from August to October 2020.
