The treatment of high salinity wastewater is complex with high cost and energy consumption. Interfacial solar vapor generation technology because of its green, high efficiency and low energy consumption has become a hot spot in the field of water resource recovery and utilization. In this study, a novel three-dimensional porous graphene composite material (3D h-CN/r-GO) was designed by a hydrothermal reaction with fibrous carbon nitrogen (h-CN) modified graphene (r-GO), and its performance for adsorption of nitrobenzene and phenol as simulated contaminants via photothermal evaporation was studied. The results showed that 3D h-CN/r-GO has a broad-spectrum absorption and multistage channel structure and presents the characteristics of fast thermal response. Its light steam conversion efficiency can reach 90.4% under the condition of simulated sunlight. The adsorption of nitrobenzene, phenol, and other common volatile pollutants can be realized in the process of treatment, and its adsorption capacities of nitrobenzene and phenol were 67.6 mg·g and 57.5 mg·g, respectively. Moreover, 3D h-CN/r-GO can realize efficient interfacial solar vapor generation with long-time stability, and its retention rate of pollutants and salts is up to 98%. The recovery and utilization of steam condensate meets the discharge standard. Therefore, this study provides a promising way for the treatment of high salinity wastewater with low energy consumption and cost.

Background: Fatigue and inactivity are linked to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic conditions. A multidimensional approach to activity pacing may improve HRQoL by promoting physical activity (PA) and alleviating fatigue. Addressing fatigue across chronic conditions is crucial, especially when underlying causes are unknown.

Today, with the increasing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the world, various workflows that need to be stored and processed on the computing platforms. But this issue, causes an increase in costs for computing resources providers, and as a result, system Energy Consumption (EC) is also reduced. Therefore, this paper examines the workflow scheduling problem of IoT devices in the fog-cloud environment, where reducing the EC of the computing system and reducing the MakeSpan Time (MST) of workflows as main objectives, under the constraints of priority, deadline and reliability.

This study estimates the impact of reducing household solid fuel dependence on the infant mortality rate (IMR) in developing countries, where traditional solid fuels such as firewood and coal are widely used. Utilizing panel data from 76 developing countries over the period 1990 to 2020, our findings indicate that IMR drops substantially as household reliance on solid fuels decreases. A 1% reduction in per capita solid fuel consumption is linked to an average 0.

Background: The gradual extrusion of water-soluble intracellular components (such as proteins) from microalgae after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is a well-documented phenomenon. This could be utilized in biorefinery applications with lipid extraction taking place after such an 'incubation' period, i.e.
